With the accelerated pace of life, many people feel stressed in work and life, which can lead to constipation. Constipation is a disease of the digestive system, but many people do not regard constipation as a disease. They only find ways to relieve constipation when it occurs. Massage can prevent and treat constipation in daily life. So, which acupuncture points can be massaged to relieve constipation? ? .

1. Massage the lumbosacral region

Three small movements, performed alternately every day, for about 20 minutes each time, can strengthen gastrointestinal motility and are very effective in relieving constipation.

2. Massage the Daimai point

"Daimai" has the function of "generalizing all the meridians". Frequent tapping can improve the detoxification ability and improve constipation. The "swimming circle" in the abdomen is exactly where the "pulse" of traditional Chinese medicine circles.

Massage method: Lie on the bed every night before going to bed, hold an empty fist in your hand, and lightly tap both sides of your waist, and insist on tapping 300 times a day. It should be noted that the harder the force is when knocking, the better. It should be as strong as the body can bear.

3. Massage Tianshu point

Tianshu point is located 2 inches next to the belly button. It is a symmetrical point on the left and right. It is mainly used to soothe the intestines, regulate qi and stagnation, and eliminate food. It is an important point in the abdomen. Sit on a chair with your legs together, press the Tianshu point, lift your left leg up as much as possible, and then retract it, then lift and retract your right leg once, repeat 5 times. When defecating, you can use the middle finger of your left hand to press the Tianshu point on the left side until you feel soreness and distension. Hold it for about a minute until you feel the urge to defecate. Then hold your breath to increase the intra-abdominal pressure to defecate.

4. Massage the Shenque point

The Shenque point is located in the center of the navel.

Massage method: Overlap two palms and buckle them on the navel. With a little force, massage 50 times in a clockwise direction, with slightly stronger force. It is better if there is a feeling of heat in the abdomen, and then switch to your right hand. After getting up every morning, drink a large cup of cold water and then do abdominal massage for 5-10 minutes for better results.

5. Methods to prevent constipation

1. Avoid eating too little or food that is too fine, lacks residue, and reduces stimulation of colon movement. Eat more foods that are good for laxatives, such as bananas, cabbage, bean sprouts, apples, hawthorn, etc.

2. Avoid interference with defecation habits: Failure to defecate in time due to mental factors, changes in lifestyle, excessive fatigue from long-distance travel, etc. can easily cause constipation.

3. Avoid the abuse of laxatives: The abuse of laxatives will weaken the sensitivity of the intestines, form dependence on certain laxatives, and cause constipation.

4. Reasonably arrange life and work to achieve a balance between work and rest. Appropriate cultural and sports activities, especially abdominal muscle exercise, are beneficial to the improvement of gastrointestinal function, and are more important for mental workers who sit for a long time and move little and are highly concentrated.

5. Develop good defecation habits, defecate regularly every day, form conditioned reflexes, and establish good defecation regularity. Don’t ignore it when you feel the urge to defecate and defecate promptly. The environment and posture for defecation should be as convenient as possible to avoid inhibiting the urge to defecate and disrupting defecation habits.

6. It is recommended that patients drink at least 6 glasses of 250 ml of water every day, engage in moderate-intensity exercise, and develop the habit of regular bowel movements (twice a day, 15 minutes each time). The action potential activity of the colon increases upon waking up and after meals, pushing feces toward the distal end of the colon. Therefore, it is easiest to defecate in the morning and after meals.

7. Treat anal fissure, perianal infection, adnexitis and other diseases in a timely manner. Use laxatives with caution and do not use strong stimulating methods such as colon lavage.

8. Help absorb nutrients: If you take probiotics every day, it will not only control the production of harmful bacteria in the intestines, but also provide a good growth environment for beneficial bacteria in the intestines and create a healthy intestine. There is also Bacillus subtilis contained in "Mommy Love", which has a good effect on decomposing lactose and can help children digest and absorb milk or milk powder. Moreover, the beneficial bacteria in Mommy's Love can promote the absorption of nutrients such as protein contained in milk powder and milk. It contains vitamins B1, B2, and B6 necessary for the metabolism of essential nutrients and growth and development, which can help children grow and develop well.

9. It is recommended to take probiotics to improve the balance of intestinal flora. Mommy loves probiotics, which improve intestinal health, reduce the occurrence of constipation, maintain intestinal barrier function, and enhance autoimmune function.
