Abdominal massage

1. Improving Digestion: By applying specific massage techniques to the abdomen, it stimulates peristaltic movement in the intestines, thereby improving digestion and waste elimination. This can be beneficial for alleviating constipation, gas, and other digestive disorders.

2. Qi Regulation: According to TCM, many health issues stem from imbalances in Qi flow through internal organs, including abdominal organs like the stomach, liver, and intestines. Abdominal massage helps regulate this energy flow, promoting proper balance and enhancing organ function.

3. Supporting Reproductive Health: TCM suggests that abdominal massage can benefit reproductive health by improving blood circulation in the pelvic area and uterus. This may be helpful for women experiencing menstrual problems, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), or seeking to enhance fertility.

5. Promoting General Well-being: By enhancing blood and energy circulation in the abdomen, abdominal massage in TCM contributes to overall well-being by strengthening the immune system and improving the body’s ability to maintain a healthy balance.

In summary, abdominal massage in Chinese Medicine is a comprehensive therapeutic technique aimed at improving digestive health, supporting reproductive health, reducing stress, and promoting overall well-being by working with TCM’s unique principles related to energy and circulation within the human body.
