Abdominal rubbing is a thousand-year-old method of health care that works on the intestines and spleen and stomach and is relatively gentle and safe. During abdominal rubbing, the five important points around the navel and on the stomach can be massaged to speed up blood circulation in the abdomen, facilitate the contraction of the smooth muscles of the stomach and intestines, and strengthen peristalsis in the abdomen.
What is the specific method of abdominal kneading?
1. Massage the heart fossa
Lie flat on the bed, the two hands in front of the chest three fingers docked, pressed in the lower edge of the sternum under the soft part, which is the heart fossa. Massage in a clockwise direction in a circle, massage 21; followed by a right-to-left, counterclockwise massage 21.
2. Finger rubbing the abdomen
Lie flat on the bed, keep your body and mind relaxed, and maintain natural breathing. Opposite the fingertips of both hands, gently placed on the abdominal line below the sternum. Slowly downward pressure, the stomach appears a slight feeling of stuffiness and swelling, driving the subcutaneous tissue slowly move clockwise, while pressing and kneading while moving downward, kneading to the pubic symphysis. If you feel pain in a certain area during the movement, you should slow down the kneading speed appropriately and slightly reduce the pressing force.
3. Palm kneading outside the abdomen
Two palms on the small abdomen, along the outside of the abdomen, while kneading, while moving slowly; hands touching the ribs, and then slowly while kneading, while close to the middle.
4. Push the abdomen straight
Two thumbs opposite each other, placed under the chest, four fingers facing down, fingers slowly downward pressure, from the top down slowly push down to the edge of the pubic symphysis. It is worth reminding that finger rubbing the middle of the abdomen, the palm rubbing the outside of the abdomen, straight pushing the abdomen as a continuous cycle, continue to do 21 times, and then the next step.
5. Group rubbing around the umbilicus
A left hand clasped into a bowl, clasped at the navel, the right hand on the back of the left hand, driven by the left hand clockwise kneading for a minute, followed by the counterclockwise direction of writhing.
6. Sit and shake the turn
Sitting cross-legged, thumbs on the inside, four fingers closed, clenched into a fist, respectively, lightly press the two knees, the whole body to maintain a relaxed state, toes slightly downward flexed. The upper body slightly down and slowly shakes, respectively, in a clockwise and counterclockwise direction to turn 20 times. The amplitude of shaking and turning is as large as possible, for example, when shaking to the right, you need to shake the chest and shoulders out of the right knee; when shaking to the back, the upper body falls backward to the greatest extent possible.
Warm tips
Although abdominal rubbing can improve the function of the internal organs, but also can not be randomly pressed. When pressing the kneading need to untie and pants, direct contact with the abdomen; the whole process should ensure a calm mood, breathing well, not closed gas force. The speed of shaking the upper body should not be too fast or too urgent, to feel relaxed and comfortable, no sense of fatigue is appropriate. It is worth reminding you after eating a meal can not immediately rub the abdomen, try to arrange it 30 minutes after the meal. Also, pregnant women, women in the menstrual period, just after surgery, have severe pain in the stomach and can not massage on their own.
