CLASSIFYING THE IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME: TRYING THE COMMON-SENSE APPROACH – MASSAGE EXTERNAL & WIND – MOUNTING PRESSURE

Massage External
Massage with oil (olive is good) from the right groin up and above the navel then down the left side; continue for ten minutes. This also helps to break down and eliminate toxins. Another way is to rub the abdomen with the lightest possible touch in a clockwise circle; there is no need to undress. It is surprising how much gas is released from the stomach with this simple exercise.
Internal
Laughing is a good internal massage, but if you are full of wind your sense of humour will probably have deserted you. Controlled abdominal breathing is also helpful.
Wind – Mounting Pressure
It is not only trying to pass a hard motion that causes pain; a colicky pain can be experienced when the bowel is trying to move the hard faeces through the colon, or when wind which cannot escape causes the bowel to stretch to a point where it contracts in protest and causes a sharp pain.
In a Yorkshire churchyard apparently there is a headstone which offers words of wisdom on this subject:
Wherever ye be let the wind go free For stoppage of it was the death of me
Sound advice, but not always possible when you are constipated.
