In clinical practice, pressing the middle epigastric point and the foot-sanli point can effectively relieve flatulence.
The mid-epigastric point is located in the front center line of the abdomen, four inches above the umbilicus, and has the effect of harmonizing the stomach and strengthening the spleen, warming the middle and removing dampness, and is mainly used for the treatment of gastric pain, abdominal distension, intestinal tinnitus, regurgitation, acid swallowing (swallowing of acid that goes up to the oropharynx in the stomach), vomiting, diarrhea, dysentery, jaundice, dietary dysphagia, insomnia and other illnesses.
Foot Sanli point is 3 inches below the eye of the external knee, about one transverse finger from the anterior tibial ridge, on the anterior tibial muscle. It can strengthen the spleen and stomach (restoring the functions of the spleen and stomach), regulate the central nervous system, guide stagnation and pass the channels, and strengthen the body, and is often used in treating digestive disorders such as abdominal distension, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea, as well as lower limb impotence and weakness.
Pressing the acupoints can relieve flatulence to a certain extent. It is recommended to consult a doctor in time to avoid delaying the condition.
