【媽媽智慧】肚痛時一定有聽過媽媽說你有風
#打落個肚有卜卜聲就是有風
#驅風油真的能醫肚痛嗎
#星期三問題多多
肚子有風會腹痛？
好孩子：「記得小時候每次肚痛時媽媽都會為我塗驅風油，說是肚子有風才會痛，是真的？」
CheckCheckCin：中醫理論中腹痛的原因其實眾多，也有分不同位置的痛，如胃、臍腹（即肚臍周圍）、小腹（肚臍對下）以及少腹（肚臍對下左及右邊），而你所指因「肚風」而引起的腹痛主要與胃有關。當吃飯速度太快，就會在不自覺間把空氣也吃進肚子裡，出現胃脹不適，除了有噯氣及放屁外，更可能會出現腹痛。還記得小時候媽媽總會叫我們不要用飲管在喝光的空杯子中吸空氣，也叫我們別在迎風的位置張開口，以免把「風」吃到肚子中，也就是這個原因。其實除了外在而來的「風」，肝鬱氣滯才是這種腹痛的主要成因，受情緒及壓力影響，氣機不暢而出現氣逆的情況，除了有胃氣及打嗝的症狀，不少人都會伴隨有消化不良、胃脹及腹痛等症狀。正因有胃氣而腹脹，所以拍打肚子時就會有「卜卜」的聲響。而驅風油多有止痛驅風的功效，以少量驅風油搓暖肚子，可紓緩此類型的腹痛，但不代表對每種腹痛都有效用呀！
Abdominal wind can cause stomach pain?
“When I was young, my mom would rub pain relieving aromatic oil for me when I had stomachache. She says the pain is due to wind in the stomach. Is it true?”
CheckCheckCin: From a Chinese medicine perspective, there are many reasons for abdominal pain. Pains are categorised by different positions, such as stomach, umbilical abdomen (ie around the navel), lower abdomen (downward navel) and outer part of the lower abdomen (navel to the left and right).The abdominal pain caused by “stomach wind” you referred to is mainly related to the stomach. When eating too fast, you will unconsciously consume the air into your stomach, and you will have stomach bloating discomfort. Besides belching and farting, you may have abdominal pain. That’s why when you were a child, Your mother always told you not to suck the air from the empty cup by straw and not face to the windward position so avoid the wind going into your stomach. In fact, besides the external “wind”, liver depression and qi stagnation are the main causes of the abdominal pain, affected by emotions and pressure, the air does not flow well and creates qi stagnation. Besides the symptoms of stomach qi and snoring, many people have other symptoms such as indigestion, stomach bloating and abdominal pain. Due to stomach bloating, so there will be “bub” sound when you beat your belly. Pain relieving aromatic oil has the effect of relieving pain and clearing the wind. It can relieve this type of abdominal pain with a small amount of pain relieving aromatic oil by warming the stomach, but it does not mean that it is effective for every type of abdominal pain!
