A viral video surfaced online suggesting massaging around the knee can quickly resolve stomach issues, but experts clarify that while the outer side of the knee is related to the stomach meridian, the claims made are oversimplified and potentially misleading. Chinese Medicine Practitioner Tsai Huai-De explains that while massaging the stomach meridian may help with occasional discomfort, for chronic digestive conditions like GERD or ulcers, seeking professional advice is crucial as methods like acupuncture and herbal medicine are more effective. The misconception also misinterprets the relationship between the spleen, pancreas, and stomach according to traditional Chinese medicine principles.
