Where to massage for insomnia and excessive dreaming?
Insomnia and frequent dreaming are common symptoms in the clinical setting. If the condition is not very severe, we can regulate our organ functions and alleviate the symptoms by massaging certain acupoints. Specific situations must be analyzed in detail. Here are some commonly used basic acupoints. For example, the Neiguan acupoint located above the pericardium muscle is frequently used and can reduce the incidence of insomnia and frequent dreaming. Additionally, the Shenmen and Tongli acupoints on the heart muscle can be massaged; moving upward, we can massage the deeper veins and the Zhaohai acupoint, as well as the Yinlingquan. Of course, clinically, depending on the different symptoms, we may also choose acupoints discerningly. For instance, if insomnia and frequent dreams are caused by poor digestion or an upset stomach, we can massage the Zhongwan acupoint to adjust the condition.
Where to apply moxibustion for atrophic gastritis?
For some symptoms of atrophic gastritis, moxibustion can be applied, such as on the Zhongwan acupoint located on the Ren meridian, as well as the Xiawan and Liangqiu acupoints. Moxibustion can also be done on the Zusanli acupoint along the stomach meridian, as well as on Neiguan and Gongsun acupoints, which are intersections of the eight meridians and can regulate atrophic gastritis. However, there is a particular method to follow during moxibustion; generally, acupoints on the upper body are treated first, followed by those on the lower body. For instance, start with the acupoints on the abdomen such as Zhongwan, Xiawan, and Liangqiu, followed by Zusanli, and then Gongsun. During moxibustion, the amount of moxa used should increase gradually, and the duration of treatment should extend from short to longer periods, indicating that the treatment period for atrophic gastritis might be longer.
Where to massage for acute gastritis?
For some cases of acute gastritis, where the pain can be quite severe, our best method is to massage our Neiguan point to alleviate clinical symptoms. The Neiguan point is located on the inner side of our upper limbs and is convenient to massage. In addition to using bare hands, we can also place a slice of ginger and massage through the ginger. Besides massaging the Neiguan point, if it's self-massage, we can also massage our Zhongwan point. The Zhongwan point is located on our abdomen, halfway between the xiphoid process and the navel, a spot that is easy to locate. We can also massage some other points like Tianshu, Zusanli, and Gongsun. After the massage, we can relieve some clinical symptoms of acute gastritis such as abdominal distension and pain.
Can moxibustion cure colitis?
For some cases of acute colitis, particularly those caused by exposure to pathogenic cold, dampness, and wind, moxibustion is quite effective, able to immediately alleviate clinical symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, and diarrhea. At this time, we can choose acupoints for treating acute enteritis, such as the Liangqiu point for moxibustion, as well as other points like Yinlingquan, Zusanli, and Yanglingquan. Additionally, local points on the abdomen can also be used for moxibustion. For example, using the Tianshu point for moxibustion can warm the meridians, promote circulation, disperse cold, and relieve pain. Other points like Daheng and Qihai can also be used, and if there is qi stagnation, regulating the Sanyinjiao can help relieve symptoms of colitis.
