Adults with flatulence can be treated with tui na therapy, such as the one-finger Zen push method. However, acupressure can only relieve the corresponding symptoms and cannot play a role in fully treating the disease.
Most of the flatulence is caused by the blockage of qi, and the acupoints commonly used to regulate qi include the middle epigastric point, the big horizontal point, and the Guanyuan point.
The main points of the One-Finger Zen Pushing Technique are: “Sink the shoulders, drop the elbows, flatten the wrists, suck in the fingers, move like a straight line, press with a large force (the force of swinging outward), and return with a small force (the force of retracting inward). For abdominal use, you can flex your thumb, use the point of force on the dorsal end of the thumb, and operate on the above acupoints.
This method is suitable for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders and other conditions, and can relieve discomfort such as flatulence. The patient can be placed in a supine position while the operator applies the One-Finger Zen Push Technique to the above acupoints to carry out the treatment.
Tui na should be operated by a professional physician, if the situation of flatulence, it is recommended to consult a doctor in a timely manner, and follow the doctor’s instructions, do not blindly tui na treatment, so as not to cause delays in the condition.
