Acupuncture is effective for acute and chronic stomach pain, and the effect is better for acute stomach pain, so let's talk about why the middle belly point is better for acute stomach pain?
When I was in university, many of my classmates had doubted Chinese medicine or preferred Western medicine, but I was obsessed with Chinese medicine from beginning to end, and I was a hardcore Chinese medicine practitioner. When I was in school, this classmate in the same dormitory suffered from stomach pain, I gave him a needle to prick the middle of the belly 2 inches for 25 minutes, a needle to relieve the pain, the original intention at that time was to operate according to the teacher's instructions, did not consider so much, and later participated in the clinical trial without effect, began to ponder the truth.
So let's first learn the basics of navel:

Indications: stomach pain, abdominal distention, vomiting, hiccups, stomach turning, acid swallowing, sluggishness, inability to eat, chancre, swelling, jaundice, bowel sounds, discharge, constipation, blood in the stool, pain in the flank, vomiting blood, asthma, headache, insomnia, palpitations, apprehension, irritability, madness, epilepsy, cadaveric syncope, convulsions, postpartum blood dizziness.

The name of the middle navel means that the part of the earth with a vein goes down through the water. The substance of this acupoint is the downward meridian of the upper part of the Ren vein, and after reaching the acupoint, the water continues to go downward, such as flowing into the huge cavity of the lower part of the Ren vein, so it is called the middle navel. The name of the middle tube and the middle bowl is the same as that of the middle belly, and the bowl is through.
2. Upper discipline. Upper, upper also. discipline, the meaning of discipline. The name of the upper period means that this acupoint has the effect of grasping the general outline of the qi and blood on the chest and abdomen and body surface.

3. Stomach. Stomach, stomach intestines also. Umbilicus, cavity also. The name of the stomach refers to the direct action of the qi and blood of this acupoint on the stomach. The qi and blood of this acupoint are the water of the ground meridian, the temperature of nature, and the same sex as the qi and blood of the stomach meridian, which can directly regulate the yin and yang deficiency of the qi and blood of the stomach, so it is called the stomach. The name of the gastric tube is the same as that of the stomach, and the tube is open.
4. Okura. Big, as opposed to small, big also. warehouse, warehouse also. The name Okura means that the cave is a large warehouse where water gathers in the ground. It is the same as the name of the navel. The name of Taicang is the same as that of Okura.

The name of the three tubes means that the cold water of the three meridians of the hands, the sun, the hands, the young yang, the feet, and the yang and the bright are all gathered and flowed down from the acupoint.
6. The hand of the sun and the hand of the young man and the foot of the yang and the bright pulse of the man. The substance of this acupoint is the water of the earth's meridians, which not only comes from the cold water of the upper meridians of the Ren vein, but also the cold precipitation of the three meridians of the hand sun hand and the yang foot Yang Ming, so it is the meeting of the hand sun hand and the yang foot Yang Ming Ren pulse.

At the same time, it is also the intersection point of the hand sun small intestine meridian, the hand Shaoyang Sanjiao meridian and the foot yang Ming stomach meridian and Ren vein, it is one of the commonly used acupuncture points to regulate spleen and stomach discomfort, and has the effect of strengthening the stomach and spleen, clearing the intestines and lowering qi. Then, stomach pain is a disease of the six intestines, the six intestines belong to yang, the middle belly is in the abdomen, and the abdomen belongs to yin, so the stomach pain needle stomach acupoints in the middle of the belly, acupuncture terminology is called "yang disease to cure yin", also called "from yin to yang". At the same time, it also induces qi to return to the yuan: it is composed of four acupoints: the middle navel, the lower navel, the sea of qi, and the guan yuan. The middle and lower navels belong to the stomach, which has the function of rational middle focus and adjusting the lifting and lowering, and the hand Taiyin lung meridian originates from the middle focus, so it also has the function of suppressing the main lung qi. The sea of qi is the sea of qi, and Guan Yuanpei's kidneys are solid. Therefore, the four acupuncture points have the meaning of "raising the innate after the future". Therefore, this prescription has the functions of treating the heart and lungs, regulating the spleen and stomach, and tonifying the liver and kidneys.

The middle navel has been valued by doctors since ancient times. The ancients had a saying: "The middle belly is swollen, and it is three miles away." This just illustrates the important role of the middle navel acupoint in the treatment of abdominal distension and abdominal pain. The moxibustion method in "Jade Machine Weiyi" and the moxibustion and slimming method in "Health Baojian" clearly point out the important role of the middle navel acupoint in it. "The Essence of Acupuncture" clearly points out that the middle navel acupoint is the key point of gastrointestinal diseases and uterine diseases, and has significant curative effects on stomach cramps, gastric prolapse, uterine flexion and other diseases.
There is a saying in acupuncture: "The back is as thin as a cake, and the belly is as deep as a well." ”“
"The back is as thin as a cake" means that the back is as thin as the cake, and there are important organs such as lungs inside. It is said that Hua Tuo's invention of the chiropractic point was related to the acupuncture accident at that time. Some people suffered from coughing and wheezing, and the medical officer Liu Rent acupuncture the back points of the lungs and other acupoints, because the acupuncture was too deep, the lungs were punctured, resulting in a pneumothorax, and finally the patient died. Hua Tuo saw that a famous doctor like Liu Rent also had problems, not to mention other acupuncture doctors, so he invented a safer chiropractic point to replace Beiyu. This story also illustrates that "the back is as thin as a cake".

"The abdomen is as deep as a well" means that the acupuncture points in the abdomen are the same as the "well", which are relatively deep and can be pierced deeply, and there is generally no danger. The middle navel point is located 4 inches on the navel, that is, the midpoint of the line between the navel and the xiphoid process, the deep part is the stomach, which can be deeply pierced, and the needle is within 2 inches, generally there will be no danger, and some people report that the deep puncture is 3~4 inches, and the effect of treating stomach pain is good. In our textbooks, it is recommended not to exceed 1 inch, so if you are not a professional acupuncturist, please apply it carefully.
In short, acupuncture can enhance gastrointestinal peristalsis, promote digestive function, and have a positive effect on the improvement of gastrointestinal function. Clinically, I often use the Zhongguan acupoint to treat long-term paralysis and other diseases, and achieve the purpose of driving away evil spirits by supporting righteous qi, especially for patients who are old and weak or have poor treatment results, this method is more suitable. To sum up, as one of the important acupuncture points of the human body, the Zhongguan acupoint has a wide range of applications in the treatment of spleen and stomach diseases, chronic diseases, and the improvement of gastrointestinal function. Through in-depth research and practical application, we can better exert the efficacy of Zhongguan acupoint and contribute to the health of patients.
The middle navel acupoint has the effect of dissipating cold in the warmth, and it is not suitable for acupuncture on an empty stomach or after eating, and pregnant women are forbidden to acupuncture. It is not advisable to use plum blossom needles or moxibustion acupuncture points in the middle navel, which may cause subcutaneous bleeding. When acupuncture penetrates the navel point, the depth of acupuncture should be controlled to prevent excessive penetration and internal bleeding. Acupuncture should not be performed near the surface of the skin to avoid skin infection. If there are uncomfortable symptoms, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time, and acupuncture should be operated by a professional Chinese medicine practitioner, not by yourself.
The above views only represent personal views, in case of stomach pain, do not operate blindly, please seek medical attention in time.
