Some people will burp or pass gas immediately, which indicates that clear energy is rising and turbid energy is descending, which is the best effect; others may hear gurgling sounds in the abdomen, which indicates that stagnant water accumulated for many days is being pushed out. If this dampness is not expelled early, it can lead to headaches and dizziness, block pores causing dermatitis and eczema, and if it meets liver fire, it can produce phlegm, and if it meets spleen deficiency, it can cause diarrhea, leading to endless troubles that must be cleared early.If the stomach is not well, push the abdomen!
“If the stomach is not harmonious, then sleep will not be peaceful,” meaning if the abdomen is uncomfortable, you cannot expect to sleep soundly. Some people have long-term sleep issues, whether it be shallow sleep, difficulty falling asleep, or constant nightmares, and can only rely on sedatives to numb their nerves, which is truly painful. In such cases, I suggest you quickly push your abdomen; you will easily find the blockage and carefully push it open. If you persist, you can say goodbye to long nights of worry and sleep soundly through the night.Some people hear gurgling sounds when they push under their chest; at first, the sounds are small, and the area may be painful, which indicates “turbid energy wrapped in water”; the more you push, the louder the sounds become, and after burping or passing gas, the entire abdomen becomes a symphony of water sounds, indicating that stagnant water has been activated and will soon be expelled from the bladder.If you do not expel this turbid water, it can remain long-term between the stomach and intestines, affecting the normal functioning of the organs. Why do some people dislike drinking water? It is because there is already water blocked in the stomach and intestines; if you then follow Western medicine’s advice to drink several liters of water daily to detoxify, you will end up with water poisoning. Therefore, drinking water can detoxify but can also cause poisoning; it is better to tailor it to individual needs.
Several Life-Saving Points on the Abdomen
1The longevity point on the abdomen—Shenque (Ren 8)There are many commonly used health points on the abdomen, and I will first talk about Shenque. Literally, “Shenque” is certainly a very important acupoint. Why do I say this? Because in China, only the most important points are referred to as divine!Shenque is actually our navel; when moxibustion is performed on Shenque, we should first lie flat on the bed. There are many methods for moxibustion on Shenque, and I will first introduce the moxa stick method. We can fill the navel with salt and then directly use the moxa stick to roast over the salt. In addition to using salt moxibustion, we can also perform gentle moxibustion on Shenque, which means using the moxa stick to directly roast the Shenque point, keeping the burning end about 3 cm away from the skin, allowing the heat to penetrate deeply without burning the skin.The gentle moxibustion may have a better nourishing effect; if you want to warm and tonify, choose Shenque. Moxibustion on Shenque can treat conditions such as wind-stroke, cold limbs, wind epilepsy, fatigue, abdominal pain around the navel, edema, prolapse, diarrhea, and female infertility. If you want to treat a disease, you can moxibustion Shenque once a day for about 10 days, then rest for 3-5 days before the next session. Generally, gentle moxibustion on the navel takes about 20-30 minutes. If it is just for health maintenance, there is no need to do it for 10 consecutive days; doing it every three to five days for 10 days is sufficient, as long as you can persist in moxibustion once a month.The above describes the moxa stick method; now let’s introduce the moxa cone method for the navel. Moxibustion on Shenque with moxa cones can only be done with indirect moxibustion, and the most common method is salt moxibustion. First, place salt in the navel, then light the moxa cone and place it on the salt for moxibustion. It is important to note that the salt layer should be larger, and the moxa cone should not be too large; it should be smaller. Also, be aware that salt melts when heated, so it is important to replace it with fresh salt. Melted salt is also very hot and can easily cause burns. If you are particularly afraid of burns, you can place a slice of ginger on the salt after placing it, and then put the moxa cone on the ginger slice, which is much safer.
2The Qi Hai (Ren 6) and Guan Yuan (Ren 4) points for longevityThe Qi Hai point, as its name suggests, is where the Qi of the whole body gathers. Therefore, Qi Hai is also a very good point for tonifying Qi. Symptoms of Qi deficiency, such as fatigue, weakness, and exhaustion can be treated with moxibustion on Qi Hai. Some may not understand what Qi deficiency is; if you get out of breath after climbing just two flights of stairs, it indicates insufficient Qi, which is Qi deficiency. People with Qi deficiency can benefit from moxibustion on this point, which not only tonifies Qi but also regulates and moves Qi.In fact, moxibustion on Qi Hai can treat not only Qi deficiency but also Qi counterflow, which we commonly refer to as Qi stagnation. For example, some people frequently burp, which in TCM is called “e’ni.” Why does this happen? The location of the disease is mainly in the middle jiao, caused by stomach Qi counterflow. This can be due to irregular eating, stomach disharmony, or emotional disturbances causing liver Qi to invade the stomach, or deficiency of Zheng Qi damaging the middle Qi. Some menopausal women also experience Qi counterflow, mainly manifested as irritability and anger, which is also a form of Qi stagnation; in such cases, moxibustion on Qi Hai can be beneficial.Just below Qi Hai is Guan Yuan, which has a similar function to Shenque, both being points that warm the middle and tonify Yang. However, Shenque has a stronger warming effect on the middle, particularly for treating gastrointestinal disorders, while Guan Yuan has a stronger effect on tonifying Yuan Yang, which means tonifying Kidney Yang. Symptoms of Kidney Yang deficiency include lower back pain, weakness, and in men, potential sexual dysfunction. Guan Yuan is a point that is good for tonifying Kidney Yang.Many young women have menstrual irregularities, whether it be missed periods or delayed periods, which can be regulated by moxibustion on Guan Yuan. If you feel a lack of Yang energy or poor blood circulation, you can also moxibustion these two points. If you feel weak, moxibustion on Guan Yuan and Qi Hai can be beneficial; even if you are not weak, you can still moxibustion these two points to strengthen your body. Guan Yuan and Qi Hai are very important points for health maintenance; regularly moxibustion on these two points can strengthen the body and promote longevity.
3The Zhongwan (Ren 12) point specifically for treating spleen and stomach issuesThe Zhongwan point is located in the upper abdomen, 4 cun above the navel. To find this point, first locate the lower end of the sternum, then find the midpoint of the line connecting the lower end of the sternum and the navel, which is the Zhongwan point. The distance from the lower end of the sternum to the navel is 8 cun, so the midpoint, which is 4 cun above the navel, is Zhongwan.What are the benefits of moxibustion on Zhongwan? Moxibustion on Zhongwan can nourish the spleen and stomach and help regulate Qi in the abdomen. Its location is very close to the stomach, so this point mainly treats spleen and stomach diseases, such as bloating, diarrhea, abdominal pain, borborygmi, acid reflux, vomiting, constipation, and also effectively treats symptoms caused by spleen and stomach disharmony, such as lack of appetite, dizziness, tinnitus, acne, fatigue, and neurasthenia.Any spleen and stomach issues can be treated with moxibustion on Zhongwan. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are the “foundation of postnatal life,” so the spleen and stomach are very important for the body, and moxibustion on Zhongwan is a good method for strengthening the spleen and stomach.Precautions for Abdominal Moxibustion
When performing moxibustion, first be careful not to burn the skin. When using moxa sticks, shake off the ash from the burning end periodically; when using moxa cones, replace them in a timely manner. It is also important to protect the area just treated, as it will be very hot. Some people may not pay attention and wear too little, which can lead to catching a cold. Moxibustion has excellent warming and circulating effects, and after moxibustion, the skin’s pores are open; if you do not pay attention to keeping warm, cold air can easily enter the body, which would counteract the treatment’s purpose.
