Acupressure after festive overeating

Si Feng (四缝, EX-UE10) on the finger creases, Xia Wan (下脘, CV10) above the navel, and Zu San Li (足三里, ST36) below the outer knee. Gentle press when bloating and undigested stools follow a heavy meal.

In brief

Three points often used after overeating: Si Feng on the midpoints of the proximal finger creases of the index to little fingers, Xia Wan on the midline about three finger-widths above the navel, and Zu San Li four finger-widths below the outer kneecap beside the shin. Massage each kindly when bloating or food accumulation sits after a heavy meal.

The steps

  1. Si Feng (EX-UE10) · finger creases

    On the palm side, at the midpoint of the proximal interphalangeal crease of the index, middle, ring, and little fingers. Massage all four points. Si Feng is a classical set when food sits undigested.

  2. Xia Wan (CV10) · upper abdomen

    On the anterior midline of the upper abdomen, about 2 cun (three finger widths) above the umbilicus. Circle gently. Soft pressure only on a very full stomach; skip over pain or scars.

  3. Zu San Li (ST36) · outer lower leg

    About four finger-widths below the outer dent of the kneecap, one finger width from the shinbone edge. Circle each side for one to two minutes. ST36 supports Spleen and Stomach qi.

FAQs

Quick questions

What is Si Feng (四缝)?

Si Feng (EX-UE10) sits on the palm side at the midpoints of the proximal finger creases of the index, middle, ring, and little fingers. Massage all four when food sits undigested.

How is this different from PC6, ST36, and CV12?

That set uses Nei Guan, Zu San Li, and Zhong Wan for upper-belly fullness. This festive set keeps ST36 and swaps in Si Feng plus Xia Wan (CV10) instead of CV12.

How often can I press these points?

Once or twice a day, or briefly when fullness returns, is a common educational habit. Keep the press kind. Book if indigestion keeps returning.
