Are you still taking medicine to nourish your stomach? Experts tell you that moving your toes can nourish your stomach

Irregular meals will harm your digestive system and cause gastrointestinal problems. Chinese medicine experts tell you that if your stomach is not in good condition, then you should pay more attention to stomach health in your daily life. Traditional Chinese medicine has found that moving your toes regularly can have a stomach-strengthening effect. Let’s learn more about it.

Moving your toes can nourish your stomach

According to the medical meridian theory, the five internal organs of the human body have corresponding acupuncture points on the feet. The second and third toes of a person are related to the stomach and intestines, so moving them regularly can help strengthen the stomach.

For people with good gastrointestinal function, the second and third toes are often thick and elastic, and they can firmly grip the ground when standing. For people with poor gastrointestinal function, these two toes are often dry and inelastic, and they often cannot firmly grip the ground when standing.

The methods of moving toes are very simple, and the most common and effective ones are as follows:

1. Toe grip

Stand or sit with your feet flat on the ground, shoulder-width apart, and do toe grips 60-90 times. You can do this exercise barefoot or in soft flat shoes and repeat it several times a day.

2. Toe Pickup

When washing your feet every day, you can put some oval, appropriately sized pebbles or other objects in the basin, and practice repeatedly pinching them with your second and third toes while soaking your feet. Soaking your feet in warm water helps to clear the meridians. Pinching pebbles or other objects between your toes can stimulate the acupoints of the local stomach meridian. Persistent practice will be of great benefit to patients with stomach problems.

3. Toe flexion

Repeatedly bend your toes up or down, while massaging the spaces between your second and third toes. For patients with indigestion, bad breath and constipation, massage along the direction of the toes is advisable to relieve stomach fire; for those with weak spleen and stomach and diarrhea, massage can be done against the direction of the toes.

Therefore, moving your toes is also a good way to maintain your health, which can easily strengthen your stomach.

Of course, there are many secret recipes for stomach-strengthening in traditional Chinese medicine. You can choose the most suitable stomach-strengthening method according to your gastrointestinal condition. As long as the method is appropriate, your stomach and intestines can be protected.
