What to do when the abdominal pain caused by gastroenteritis is unbearable? For some cases of acute onset gastroenteritis, patients often experience nausea and vomiting due to abdominal discomfort. How can we temporarily and quickly relieve these symptoms with simple methods? This becomes a question for many patients. In fact, it can be achieved through acupressure massage in traditional Chinese medicine. Today, let me introduce 3 acupressure points that can quickly relieve abdominal discomfort symptoms!
※ What to do with gastroenteritis ※
1. Grind 30 grams of green onion and 30 grams of ginger, add 300 milliliters of water, boil for 30 minutes, dip the liquid with the index finger and rub it on the palm side of the patient's thumb and little finger root, outward for 12 times, then inward to the Neiguan point (6.6 centimeters above the transverse crease of the wrist, between the long flexor tendon of the thumb and the radial flexor muscle) and rub it on the upper arm for 12 times, 1-2 times a day, continuously for 2-3 days.
2. Laogong point (located where the middle finger points when holding a fist), there is a point near the Laogong point called "Stomach and Intestine Point". If you consider the hand as a miniature representation of a person, then the "Stomach and Intestine Point" is your stomach, which has shown remarkable effects in patients with functional acute gastroenteritis.
3. Hegu point, located on the back of the hand, between the 1st and 2nd metacarpal bones, about the midpoint of the 2nd metacarpal bone on the radial side. Press the opposite side of the acupoint with the thumb, press it towards the index finger with force. It has a significant relieving effect on abdominal pain and other discomfort symptoms of acute gastroenteritis. At the same time, it can also suppress vomiting and dizziness.
Neiguan point, Laogong point, and Hegu point. These three acupressure points can effectively relieve abdominal discomfort symptoms in patients with acute gastroenteritis. However, this relief is only temporary. When a patient has gastroenteritis, it is still necessary to seek medical treatment in a timely manner for a complete cure!
