A mummy blogger has apparently revealed the secret to getting things moving in the bowel department. (Let’s face it, we’ve all been or had children in that situation.)
According to a blog post on Wisdom of The Moon, it’s all about applying a bit of pressure to a particular part of the stomach.
The magic spot, which leads to almost instant relief, is called the “Sea of Energy” and is located three finger-widths below the bellybutton.
The writer of the post explained that the tip came from a natural remedy book called ‘Natural Healing For Children: An Essential Handbook for Parents‘ before giving some acupressure tips.
These include using the finger-widths of the person being poked; using firm pressure, not hard; stopping if it causes pain; remembering to breathe deeply; and not pressing beyond 5 minutes.
