Massage techniques to regulate the spleen and stomach include kneading the foot Sanli, kneading the middle stomach, dividing the abdomen into yin and yang, and palming the abdomen.
1. Kneading the foot Sanli, kneading the middle epigastric region: the foot Sanli is located in the lateral side of the lower leg, 3 inches below the calf’s nose, 1 transverse finger outside the anterior ridge of the tibia, the calf’s nose and the Xiexi line; the middle epigastric region is located in the upper abdomen, 4 inches above the umbilicus, on the anterior median line. You can regulate the spleen and stomach by rubbing the foot Sanli and the middle epigastric region.
2. Divide the abdomen into yin and yang: push from the middle epigastric point to the sides. It has the effect of strengthening the spleen and harmonizing the stomach, and eliminating food stagnation (promoting food digestion).
3. Palm massage of the abdomen: the operator sits (or stands) on the right side of the patient’s hand, with the palm of one hand on the abdomen, doing clockwise or counterclockwise circular moxibustion for 3 to 5 minutes.
If you need massage, it is recommended to go to a professional medical institution.
