9 Best Acupressure Points to Treat Digestive Problems

By Bipasha Mukherjee — 24 Comments
Our modern eating habits and increasing dependence on packed and ready to eat meals has lead
not only to increased risk of heart diseases, obesity and diabetes, it has also disrupted our
digestive system causing problems like indigestion, gas, constipation, Irritable Bowel Syndrome
(IBS), heart burn, sour stomach, diarrhea, etc and most of us suffer from at least one of these
problems although we don’t really speak up or do something to relieve it. The best way to treat
all these issues is changing the eating pattern for good, but in the meantime acupressure and
re exology can be used effectively to relieve the painful side effects of an upset digestive
system.
Common Causes of Digestive Problems:

The causes of stomach ailments are multiple and in most cases they work together. It is really
dif cult to determine the root cause and it is often treated according to the symptoms, but here
are a few most common causes for digestive disorder:
Poor Diet

Stress
Dehydration
Nutritional De ciency or Excess

Chronic Medical Conditions
In ammation of the Digestive Tract
How Acupressure Treats Digestive Problems?

Acupressure originated in China more than 5,000 years and it is based on the theory that an
ailment can be treated by balancing the unbalanced “qi” energy in various regions of the body.
Most of the digestive disorders arise from in ammation of the digestive tract that leads to
decreased digestion and absorption of nutrients. Acupressure helps in healing the in amed
digestive linings by restoring the balanced ow of energy throughout the body.

Stimulating these 9 speci c points can help in relieving the pain caused by indigestion and
treating problems like constipation, diarrhea, abdominal pain, gas and bloating.

This point is located in the webbing between the index nger and the thumb. Stimulating this
point improves over all intestinal function and helps relieve diarrhea, constipation and
abdominal pain.

This point is located at the top of the elbow crease, at the edge of the joint. Stimulating this
point helps in relieving diarrhea, constipation and abdominal pain.

This point is located three ngers width above the wrist crease, on the outer side of the hand.
Stimulating this point helps in relieving nausea and vomiting.

toe. Stimulating this point harmonizes energy ow in the stomach and relieves indigestion,
stomach ache and nausea.
Three Yin Crossing:

in overall healing of diseases related to the lower abdomen. It relieves colitis, abdominal
distention and atulence.
Great Rushing:
This point is located in the webbing between the big and the second toes. Stimulating this point
helps in improving gall-bladder health and relieving nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.
Middle Cavity:
This point is located half way between the breast bone and the belly button, at the mid-line of
the body. Stimulating this point helps in relieving heartburn, indigestion and abdominal pain.
Stretching to Open all the Digestive Channels:

It is important to stretch the entire body before beginning the acupressure session in order to
unblock the blocked meridians and help the “qi” ow throughout the body that will make the
session more effective.
Raise your arms above your head while breathing in and stretch backwards as much as you
can without hurting yourself.
Count till 3 and come back to the original position while exhaling slowly.
Inhale and bend forward in the rag doll position while exhaling.
Count till 3 and come back to the starting position while inhaling.
Bring your arms above your head and lean your body to the right side while exhaling
Come back to the starting position while inhaling
Now lean your body to the left side while exhaling
Come back to the starting position while inhaling
Repeat this whole stretching workout 3 times to open all digestive channels.
All these pressure points helps in opening up the digestive channel and it will bene t any
digestive condition in an effective way. So the next time you feel bloated and full, don’t just reach
out for an antacid, try out these easy and simple re exology procedures and get long term relief
from digestive problems.

In the final stretching exercise the breathing order is confusing. On the return from
the left side bend one inhales. Then to continue one has to inhale further. it seems
contradictory. Has everything been written correctly ?

Thank you for your article. I am suffering from IBS for over 5 years now and I suffer from
excessive gas which tends to push upwards causing chest congestion which can only be
relived by passing stool. Further the bowel movement is mostly 4 – 5 times in a day.
Could u plz guide me on which acupressure technique will show result and how long I
need to press a point and the frequency in a day. Also how soon will I ne able to see
results given the fact that my ailment is chronic.
Thanks in advance
Subhro

You can apply pressure on each of the points for 5 minutes and then move on to the
next point or set of points.

How can I print these articles for my personal use without the borders. Even at 70% on
the print tab you don’t get the whole article. They are excellent and I want to use them
away from the computer.
Thank you.

Could someone advise me….about 2 years ago I was diagnosed with dyspepsia and was
vomiting every second day with acid re ux. After about six months the vomiting stopped
without medication. The acid re ux got worse for a while and burning throughout my
body. I have done two acupuncture sessions and most of the acid re ux has stopped just
some burning occasionally. Now however, I have unbearable constipation, stomach ache,
nausea and a tight, gnawing pain (sometimes like electricity) mostly across my upper left
chest, arms and sometimes hands. I’m getting a lot of headaches recently and like the
food isn’t going down properly or fast enough. The acupuncturist put a needle under
breast bone, on top of stomach last time and its been really hurting there, subsided
somewhat after a week. Any suggestions would be great!! I was diagnosed with GERD as
well and have tried alternatives – aloe vera, salts, ionized water, turned veggie, cut out
some processed foods and spicy foods. Nothing has helped!

It is best to operate, acupressure can help alleviate the pain, but to remove the
tumour you need the help of conventional medication.

Chronic diseases take along time to heal. I had felt that your stomach is rst affected
by excess stress around you. Ask her to practice relaxing. Daily do hand & foot
massage two time empty stomach. Walking helps a lot. Mix this basic therapy with
any doctor’s treatment and hope improvement.

My son has been unwell all day with a bad stomach and has kept going to the toilet… It is
now 1:30am he woke up at 11pm and couldn’t keep still because of stomach pain and
feeling sick… I didn’t think he would be able to settle back down… I have just done a
combination of the above points and within 10 minutes he settled and drifted back to
sleep. Thank you so much for sharing!
