Is moxibustion effective in treating indigestion?

Food accumulation refers to children eating too much and having indigestion. In severe cases, it causes damage to the spleen and stomach, and the main manifestations are abdominal distension and dry stools. This situation is more common in infants and young children. When mothers find that their children have this situation, they should seek medical attention in time to avoid malnutrition in their children. In this case, mothers should control their children's diet, not let them eat too much, eat more food that is easy to digest, and observe the changes in their children every day.

How to treat indigestion:

①Drink more water

Water is indispensable to the human body. It can accelerate gastrointestinal motility, regulate acid-base balance, accelerate metabolism, and drive faster circulation in the body. At the same time, it can also excrete toxins formed by food accumulation in the human body through sweat or urine, and can relieve stomach pain and bloating caused by food accumulation in adults.

② Avoid spicy food

Although chili peppers have certain nutritional value, eating spicy food when you have indigestion will cause imbalance of yin and yang in the internal organs. When adults have indigestion, their stomachs and intestines already feel uncomfortable and bloated. Spicy food will irritate the stomach and intestines and increase the burden on them. Therefore, spicy food should be avoided when adults have indigestion.

Vegetables and fruits have the function of regulating the intestines and stomach, and adjusting the physical constitution. The fiber in vegetables can effectively promote gastrointestinal motility, while the dietary fiber and pectin in fruits can prevent constipation. Adults feel bloated and painful in the stomach after overeating, and fruits and vegetables can speed up the relief of this phenomenon. Therefore, adults should eat more vegetables and fruits when they have overeating.

④Increase the amount of exercise

Regular exercise can bring great benefits to the human body's health. Rest for about 10 minutes after meals every day and then do some moderate exercise, such as taking a walk. You can speed up your pace a little. This can speed up gastrointestinal motility, help the body digestion, and help adults with indigestion to clear the food that is blocked in the stomach and intestines.

Honey water can not only treat constipation, but also promote digestion. In addition to gastrointestinal bloating and pain, and food accumulation in the stomach, adults with indigestion may also suffer from constipation. Drink more honey water during the indigestion period, and do squatting exercises at the same time. You will soon feel that the bloating in the stomach has been reduced a lot, and the constipation will also be alleviated.

⑥Abdominal massage

The abdomen is the palace of the human body's internal organs. Massaging the abdomen can activate the secretory system of the gastrointestinal tract and other organs, thereby strengthening the gastrointestinal tract's role in digesting, absorbing and excreting food, significantly improving and accelerating the gastrointestinal peristalsis function, strengthening the excretion function of the stomach and intestines, preventing and eliminating constipation, and having a positive effect on food accumulation in adults.
