Why prick your finger for indigestion




















In the Sasang book of constitutional medicine, established by Je-ma Lee A. Physically, SE types tend to have well-developed pelvis, and upper body is likely to be smaller than the lower body.

SE types are often said to have a cold stomach, which results from the lack of yang-qi and thus the gastric functions become weak. Weak gastric functions can lead to weak circulation, leading to cold extremities. SE types tend to be perfectionists with attention to details, and can be hypersensitive to the extent where they are stressed about details others wouldn't fret about.

When an SE type feels mentally taxed, they can complain of indigestion even after drinking water. SE types are said to be in good health without any illness if they can consume and digest foods without any issues, meaning that they have to pay extra attention to what they eat. When a patient suffers indigestion, other symptoms that seem unrelated to digestive systems can also manifest, such as headaches, flu-like symptoms, and neck and shoulder pain.

As the meridian system related to the stomach passes through the forehead; headaches in the front part of the head are an indication that there are gastric issues. If a patient complains of a headache in the forehead along with indigestion, alleviating the indigestion symptoms can also get rid of headaches at the same time. Dyspepsia can also accompany chills and cold-sweats, much like the common cold.

Patients have visited my Oriental clinic thinking they had contracted a cold only to find that their cold medications did not help, but having been treated for their indigestion, they were relieved of the chills and cold sweats. Other patients can complain of neck or back pain along with their dyspepsia. For such patients, treatment will focus on the stomach as well as pain-stricken areas. Once the digestive functions improve, patients often experience their muscle ache is lessened.

Conversely, stimulating the neck or the back area can improve the digestive functions. There are various options for Oriental treatment for FD. From Oriental medicine, press the point between the thumb and index finger to help with indigestion. This point is connected to your internal part.

At first use the thumb and forefinger of your opposite hand, squeeze this area until you feel a mild discomfort. Continue to hold that pressure for 20? Abdominal massages are performed using gentle pressure, and involve applying gentle circular motions under the chest and clockwise around the center of the stomach. When performed regularly, you will notice an increase in bowel movements and an improved posture as your stomach muscles contract and relax.

Not only can a regular abdominal massage improve digestion, but it can also help to reduce stress, balance the hormones and encourage the natural elimination process. In taking of Plum and Kiwi Plums help to relief indigestion.

They contain organic acids which kill germs in the intestines, speed up intestinal movement to act as a laxative. The easiest way to take advantage from plums is to make a tea. You can buy plum syrup or tea bags in a market. I am elated! Thanks loads. Green-eyed monster. I'm assuming everyone is aware that neither first-hand experience nor any number of anecdotes is really evidence that this works, especially given that waiting 15 minutes is a pretty good cure for indigestion with or without a finger prick.

Acupuncture doesn't work in the sense that it doesn't work any better than sham therapy that is, poking people in random places or with realistic-feeling needles that don't penetrate the skin. I don't think many argue that it doesn't work at all. Eliot, you are correct that absence of evidence isn't generally the same thing as negative evidence. But scientific claims should be rejected by default, and at any rate a large number of studies failing to find positive evidence are what you'd expect from an ineffective treatment.

This is particularly true for a treatment that does work, but not in the way it's supposed to "stabbing people with needles makes them less nauseous, but it doesn't really matter where the needles go". Theoretical arguments no plausible mechanism apart from placebo; number of meridians is linked to number of rivers in China; general incompatibility of TCM worldview with scientific physicalism should push a neutral observer further towards disbelief.

As a side note, the almost absurd levels of publication bias that seem to plague the East Asian and especially the Chinese medical establishments aren't helping. Ok, I'm Greek and the first time I saw pritching your finger to cure indigestion was in a Korean drama some days ago, and accidentally found this page I was not searching it.

What a shakespearean remedy! I'm reading this from Spain and actually the girlfriend's chinese boss did it this "remedy" and works very well. The symptoms pass 15 min after. This type of accupunture is technically bloodletting and is rooted in s of decades of anecdotal and professional evidence and although this has yet to be conclusively "proven" a dirty word in "real" science it doesn't mean it doesnt work for a majority of people.

But just because a hypotheses has yet to be recognized as correct doesn't mean it wont ever be. The world is flat and youll fall off it if you go to far. As we now I understand how gut Flora balance is a controlling factor with the body's immune system. Ever wonder why as a girl or woman getting an xray they always ask if you have a chance of being pregnant. Because although originally completely discounted, the data shows many child cancer cases correlate with prenatal Xray exposure which tooks decades to prove because no one wanted to take responsibility for children getting cancer.

Yet to be proven: A number children react badly to their immune response, caused by too many immunizations in a short period of time causing them to get autism. But its also possible the of cases being cited by this could also be off set substantially by the number of women having children after Medical Science is a practice because our understanding is always growing and changing.

The human body is a complex collection of Biomechanical and biochemical systems that make up a whole. Unfortunately Western medicine usually compartmentalizes these into their individual parts and symptoms rather than looking at the whole body holistically. Which is an incomplete view of things. And Qi or Chi could possibly be interpreted as the vast network of Bioelectric lines running throughout out our bodies Nerves and the Bioelectric field created by and around every cell allowing each system biochemical energy flowing along to check-in with the CPU brain.

So it can adjust based on nesscesity of the whole. Which in a way is correct seeing as the nerves connect the rest of the body to the brain. And the flow of biochemical energy can be blocked and stimulated by injuries and therapies.

It could be the the nerves precive these therapies as an attack on the system sending signals to bring in endorphins and blood flow to that area to Aid in healing and pain control. Pain is an error signal to our brains telling us attention is needed in an area or system. But in a busy world where we cant always make allowances to heal properly or reset our systems properly.

Anything that helps people to have a truly better quality of life is good in my book. There is much safer way to do this than sterilising a needle. You can buy a tool designed for this task, it looks like a pen. You buy a box of sterile needles that fit the tool for once only use. The 'pen' is spring loaded on pressing the top, so the needle quickly juts out a few mm and on placing against the fingers delivers the correct depth. Allows you to do all fingers easily. In my experience I do not agree with the theory that the pain distracts you from the symptoms.

It's not painful enough and you can't feel the pain after administering the needle. First hand experience I have used the method of pricking all fingers and thumbs on both sides at the top joint successful in rapidy shifting severe indigestion. On a similar topic I have also been shown a technique of massaging the areas described above. Both sides of each digit on the top joint.
