Hairbrush Trick to Ease Indigestion?

[PJinWashington 49]

Got this tip off of a Health Newsletter today...I wonder IF this would help us? I'm going to try it...it's Acupressure!

If you've overdone it at the buffet table, here's a trick to ease the discomfort: Take a wire hairbrush or a metal comb, and start brushing or combing the backs of your hands. Brush gently but firmly enough to feel some tingly pressure (though not so hard as to injure your skin, of course). After three or four minutes, you should notice relief from that sluggish feeling you get after eating a big, heavy meal.

I'll have to try that.

Seriously, I will try it.

When I am driving home after a long absence from my wife I don't intend to violate the speed laws. It seems my accelerator foot is taking orders from somewhere other than the good intentions part of my brain. I have to check the speedometer often or I'll be writing a check in traffic court.

Overeating can result from lack of concentration. Most folks here don't want to overeat. It can happen though, especially in the period when we are learning the way the sleeve talks to us. If brushing my hand can make me feel better I'll do it, but not in front of people who are looking for an excuse to have me committed.

Point well taken. Thanks.

It's not a matter of over-filling yourself...it's that uncomfortable full feeling that sneaks up on you, particularly when eating some things at a social event when you can't control your food choices as well (I never attend buffets anymore...that would be a WASTE of $$!)...I hate that uncomfortable full feeling anytime and try to avoid it!
