Poop Button Is The Key To Dealing With Constipation Says Blogger

Struggling to get it all out?

If you’re dealing with constipation, there’s no need to reach straight for the laxatives. A blogger has shared a secret trick to get your bowels moving once again – involving no medication or fancy teas.

It’s all down to the ‘poop button’.

The poop button is the area on your stomach three finger-widths directly below your belly button.

Apparently, this exact spot – also known as the Sea of Energy – is connected to other areas of your body, such as your digestive system, colon, and even your sex-y areas.

Experts in acupressure say that applying the correct touch on the poop button can relieve you of ALL KINDS of issues. Think period cramps, tummy troubles, and, as its internet-given name suggests, constipation.

Yep, pushing this button can make you poo.

Here’s how it’s done:

How to fix constipation using the poop button:

• Find the spot by measuring three ‘fingerwidths’ exactly below your belly button
• Make sure your nails aren’t too long or sharp to avoid pain
• Using your fingers, apply firm pressure – but not too hard – to the poop button. If it hurts, reduce the pressure.
• Focus on taking deep breaths as you press down
• Continue to press until you feel the need to poo. It can take as little as ten seconds, or up to 3 minutes.
• Don’t hold for longer than 5 minutes
• Poo to your heart’s content

And there you have it. A totally free way to get things working again. Try reaching for your belly before the laxatives the next time you’re struggling.
