Chronic diarrhea refers to a condition where the disease course lasts for more than two months or has recurrent episodes with intervals of 2 to 4 weeks. The main symptom is an increase in the frequency of bowel movements, with stools containing undigested food particles, and in severe cases, the stools are watery. The primary pathology of diarrhea lies in the dysfunction of the spleen, stomach, and the large and small intestines.
Meridian massage for chronic diarrhea should focus on strengthening the spleen and stomach, warming the kidneys and invigorating yang, and soothing the liver to regulate qi.
It is recommended to perform moxibustion once a day, targeting 2 to 3 acupoints each time, with each acupoint being treated for 30 to 40 minutes. Rotate the points treated, with a 10-day period constituting one course of treatment, and then rest for 2 to 3 days before continuing with the next course.
(If time permits and there is a need, more acupoints can be treated with moxibustion. The specific duration should be adjusted according to one's own physical needs.)
