Acupuncture points for eliminating food stagnation include Shang Ju Xiu, Shu San Li, Zhong Cao and Tian Shu.
Food stagnation (the accumulation of food in the stomach due to indigestion) is mostly caused by the malfunction of gastrointestinal transportation and digestion, and is often treated by harmonizing the stomach and strengthening the spleen, eliminating food and resolving food stagnation. The middle epigastric point is a recruitment point of the stomach meridian, and the Tianshu point is a recruitment point of the large intestine meridian, both of which have the effect of unblocking the qi of the epigastric region. Foot Sanli is a lower merging point of the Stomach meridian, and Shang Ju Xu is a lower merging point of the Large Intestine meridian, both of which can regulate the stomach and intestines.
