Stomach Channel Massage for Digestion

Leg Massage:

Help your body cope with a heavy meal by massaging the stomach channel.

The stomach channel is the region indicated by arrow #3 on this diagram, and it extends the full length of the leg. Focus on the area between the knee and ankle. This is the often-soft area to the right of your shin bone if you are looking down at your feet.

Firmly massage this area by moving your thumb or forefingers in a firm, circular motion. For most people, massaging downwards towards your toes will bring the most relief, but this varies from case to case.

Regular massage of the stomach channel can help alleviate problems such as feelings of fullness, belching, or sleepiness after a meal.
