Modern urban dwellers often face stomach issues due to high stress and irregular eating habits. Beyond dietary adjustments and maintaining a regular schedule, simple stomach-nourishing massages can be highly effective.
An ancient saying goes, "Nine out of ten people suffer from stomach ailments," indicating that gastric disorders have long been common and widespread. Chronic gastritis often progresses insidiously with few obvious symptoms. Some may experience indigestion, including upper abdominal fullness and discomfort—particularly noticeable after meals—along with irregular abdominal pain, belching, acid reflux, nausea, and vomiting.
Traditional Chinese medicine attributes this to internal factors like spleen-stomach deficiency, often caused by irregular eating habits, emotional imbalances, excessive fatigue, or prolonged illness. Its onset is linked to dysfunction in the liver, spleen, and stomach.
