There are many acupoints in the abdomen, and different acupoints have different functions and effects.
The circulation of the Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian, the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian, and the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian all pass through the abdomen, and there are many acupuncture points in the abdomen. In addition, the abdomen also includes extra-meridian points such as the uterus points. Therefore, the role of abdominal acupuncture points cannot be generalized. Judgment should be made according to the meridians and specific acupoints.
For example, belonging to the foot Yangming stomach meridian Tianshu point, in the horizontal flat umbilicus, the front center line next to open 2 inches, has the effect of regulating qi pain, clearing heat and dampness, can be used for the treatment of abdominal distension, constipation, diarrhea and other conditions; belonging to the foot Taiyin spleen meridian of the big cross point, located in the umbilicus next to open 4 inches, has the effect of regulating the bowels and internal organs, can be used for the treatment of diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain and other conditions.
