Sitting Massage for Gastrointestinal Ailments, Gassy stomach

1) Put hands over the upper stomach area (women, put right hand under left hand; men, put left hand under right hand); using rotational pressure, massage the upper stomach counterclockwise (to follow the colon pathway) for 2 or 3 minutes.

2) Leg point: Put right hand over left kneecap, your index finger is between the end of the kneecap and press the lateral tibia (shinbone) under the knee at the indent; the tip of the index finger is at the point you massage. Use pressing and kneading methods for 3 minutes. Then massage opposite leg, using same method to find the correct point on the other leg.

3) Massage the area under the knee joint at the inner part of the leg next to the shinbone; if you feel a little pain when you massage it, you will know if you have found the correct point.

4) Put hands in the front of your chest. Men, put left hand under right hand; women, put right hand under left hand. Push down with pressure along the middle line of the front body 8 times; breathe out when you push down.

5) Alternately swing body (turn waist and torso, keep legs still) side-to-side 16 times.
