Q. I only get indigestion and stomach pain when I'm stressed. Is this stress-induced gastritis?

A.

The gastrointestinal tract is often referred to as "the second brain." When stress over-activates the sympathetic nervous system, it can halt gastrointestinal motility. This condition is known as "Ganbi-bulhwa" (Liver-Spleen Disharmony), implying that stress in the liver impacts the spleen. Therefore, simply taking digestive medications isn't enough; it's crucial to soothe the liver's energy (qi) to allow the digestive system to move properly again.

  • 식사: 마음이 불편하거나 화가 난 상태에서는 무리하게 드시기보다 차라리 굶거나 죽 같은 유동식을 드시는 것이 좋습니다.
  • 지압: 엄지와 검지 사이의 "합곡혈"을 지압하면 위장의 긴장을 푸는 데 도움이 됩니다.
