Generally, gastric pain is accompanied by the following symptoms:
- a feeling of fullness,
- belching or burping,
- heartburn,
- nausea,
- and vomiting, among other symptoms.
The causes of gastric pain can be due to:
- mental and emotional factors,
- dietary factors (e.g. eat unhealthy food, improper diet)
- cold,
- fatigue, etc.
TCM cupping can help to alleviate the symptoms of gastric pain by administering cupping treatment on the shen-que and zhong-wan points. To do that, the TCM physician will cup the points for 5-10min each. This is repeated 2-3 times.
Cupping can clear the meridians, dispel cold and relieve gastric pain. Acupuncture treatment can be used in conjunction for better results.
