Hmmm, started triying it, but found it somewhat painful. Am I pressing to hard on my belly button...I'm trying to go an inch deep.

If you find it painful then do not do it. You might have some gas build up that is trying to be released. I sometimes get some side pain but I know it is gas being released. I would not do it now but if you try it another time do it for a minute or less. You do not have to press it hard at all. If you have a massager try that.

I find now if I do this exercise more than twice a day it can be enough for me.

Maybe instead of going into the belly button try the other exercises in my post replying to Jazzymom and do them for only a minute or more. I am referring to massaging the neuro lymphatic points under the rib and below and then on the inner and outer portion of your upper leg.

Please let me know how you feel. Drink lots of water!!!!!

Sorry for not logging in again.

I just did a search on abdominal massage from this website

Abdominal Massage: This form of massage is beneficial in constipation. It stimulates the peristalsis of the small intestines, tones up the muscles of the abdomen walls and mechanically eliminates the contents of both large and small intestines. Abdominal massage should not be done in general, femoral, inguinal and umbilical hernia, inflammation of the uterus, bladder, ovaries and fallopian tubes, stones in the kidneys, bladder or gall bladder, ulcers of the stomach and intestines and pregnancy.


Abdominal massage should not be done after a heavy meal, but after two hours or so. The bladder should be emptied before the massage. Since blood pressure increases during abdominal manipulation, patients with hypertension should avoid abdominal massage. Massage should also be avoided in cases where there has been recent bleeding in the lungs, stomach or the brain.
