According to traditional Chinese medicine, this is caused by overeating or consuming unclean food, which damages the function of the gastrointestinal tract and blocks the functions of transportation, transformation, and secretion. At this time, pressing Quze Point near the elbow joint can alleviate symptoms such as stomach pain and bloating.
