Pediatric abdominal pain and vomiting can be relieved by choosing acupoints such as the middle epigastric region, Neiguan, Ashigaru, Tianshu, and Stomach Yu.
In Chinese medicine, it is believed that children’s abdominal pain and vomiting are mostly due to the loss of gastric harmony and descending (obstruction of the stomach’s descending function), and the upward reversal of gastric qi (gastric qi rises instead of descending), so the treatment should be based on regulating qi and harmonizing the stomach as the main therapeutic principle.
The middle epigastric region belongs to the Ren meridian, which is the recruitment point of the stomach, and the stomach yu is the dorsal yu point of the stomach, and the combination of the two can help regulate qi and harmonize the stomach, relieve pain, and stop vomiting.
Neiguan is an acupoint of the Pericardium Meridian, located in the anterior region of the forearm, which can broaden the chest and benefit the qi, lower the rebelliousness and stop vomiting (stop the upward rush of stomach qi and stop vomiting). Foot Sanli is a stomach meridian point that regulates the spleen and stomach. Tianshu is located in the abdomen and is an acupoint of the stomach meridian, which can regulate the qi of the internal organs.
Massage for the above points should be done by a doctor.
