The acupoints commonly massaged for gastroenteritis mainly include those on the limbs and some local to the gastrointestinal tract. For the limbs, we can select acupoints on the lower limbs such as Liangqiu, Xuehai, Yinlingquan, Yanglingquan, Shangjuxu, Xiajuxu, and Gongsun for massage. It's sufficient to massage each acupoint for one to two minutes.

In the abdominal area, we usually choose some frequently used acupoints, such as the Zhongwan, then Tianshu, as well as Daheng, Shangqu, or Liangmen for massage. For the upper limbs, we can select the acupoints like Shousanli and Neiguan to help alleviate gastrointestinal symptoms. Generally, we continue massaging each acupoint for one to two minutes and the massage technique progresses from light to heavy. We stop only when the symptoms of gastroenteritis, such as the pain, have eased. This is generally how it is done.
