    Which acupuncture points should be massaged for vomiting

    Zusanli

    【Location】On the outside of the tibia, about 3 finger widths below the knee.

    [Treatment] The patient lies on his back, and the therapist presses acupoints on the left and right feet respectively. If the patient performs acupressure on his own, it is easier to do it while sitting in a chair. It is effective for symptoms such as vomiting, stomach accumulation, liver and gallbladder diseases caused by general digestive system diseases.

    Baihui

    【Location】The intersection of the straight line connecting the ears and the straight line between the eyebrows, that is, the top of the head.

    [Treatment] The therapist wraps the patient's head with both hands, and slowly and gently presses the acupoints with his left and right thumbs. It has an obvious effect on relieving headaches and heavy head caused by hangover, and can suppress the restlessness caused by motion sickness and vomiting.

    Juque

    Relieves chest pain and is effective for hyperacidity, gastric cramps and chronic gastric diseases

    [Location] Right in the center of the heart.

    [Treatment] Make the patient lie on his back, and the therapist kneels aside, with the fingertips of both hands facing the patient's throat and stacking them together, and repeatedly press the heart with the tip of the middle finger. This can relieve chest pain due to vomiting. It is effective for hyperacidity, gastric accumulation and chronic gastric diseases.

    Strict exchange

    [Location] The edge of the nail on the second finger of the foot.

    [Treatment] Knead and compress the roots of the toe nails of both feet. This acupoint can relieve the symptoms of gastric diseases. Especially when you feel heart distension, abdominal discomfort, or nausea, stimulating it is effective.

    Tianshu

    【Location】About 2 finger widths from both sides of the belly button.

    [Treatment] Let the patient lie on his back, and the therapist will put the index, middle, and ring fingers of both hands together and press until the fat in the abdomen is slightly depressed. In this way, the function of the digestive system can be promoted. Or just massage gently from the pit of your heart to this acupuncture point.

    The above are 5 special acupoints that can treat vomiting, and different acupoints also target vomiting caused by different diseases. When you treat massage, you must massage the "acupoints" to be effective.
