TEAS ACUPRESSURE
Knowing that we have a little trick up our sleeve when the stomach complains is so relieving, which is why I’m including these acupressure tips. Do a good body stretch, then try stimulating these spots to ease symptoms:
• The point on top of the crease of your elbow—good for diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain.
• The point located on the inner side of the foot, four “fingers” away from the big toe—for indigestion, nausea, and abdominal pain.
• The point located in the webbing between the big and second toes—for abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.
• The point located three “fingers” above the crease of the wrist, near the middle of the arm by the palm side of the hand—for anxiety, indigestion, abdominal to be precise. It’s great for soothing all sorts of tummy trouble—stomachaches, bloating, cramps, and flatulence. Allow the tea to steep for five minutes in boiling water. pain, and vomiting.
Since we’re talking teas, try a glass of calendula tea to ease menstrual cramps or address irregular menstruation. Calendula boasts quercetin and flavonoids, which promote blood flow and have powerful analgesic properties.
• The point located halfway between the breastbone and the navel, by the midline of the body—for heartburn and indigestion.
• The point located on the outer edge of the leg, three “fingers” below the knee—for bloating, gas, enteritis, nausea, and ulcer.
• The point located three “fingers” above the inner ankle bone—for lower abdominal problems such as colitis and flatulence.
• The point located in the webbing between your index finger and thumb—for constipation, diarrhea, and boosting overall intestinal function.
Handy tricks aside, the very best tip is to ask Hashem to send all tummy troubles out to sea.
