🧑⚕️ “Wind in the lines” have you ever experienced it?
Aching all over, press anywhere and you burp; sometimes you even pass gas‼️
Press the shoulders, neck, leg lines, calves, hips, or neck muscles
grab or press the lines and you burp immediately.
That’s what people call “wind in the lines”, often accompanied by widespread body aches
🌿🧑⚕️ The symptom “press anywhere and burp immediately” can be explained according to Traditional Thai Medicine as follows:
🌀 Meaning of “Wind in the lines”
“Wind in the lines” refers to wind (energy) circulating along the tendons, muscles, and nerves in the body.
When this wind does not flow smoothly such as being blocked, stagnant, or moving in the wrong direction abnormal symptoms occur, including pain, tightness, numbness, heaviness, or burping when pressure is applied to certain points.
Why does “pressing cause burping”?
According to Traditional Thai Medicine:
Many wind lines are connected to the stomach and chest
(especially Ida–Pingkhala lines and the Sumana line).
⚠️ When pressure is applied to a point where wind is trapped, the accumulated wind is released and moves upward or downward along the line‼️
⚠️ If that line connects to the stomach, the wind is released through the mouth → causing burping‼️
⚠️ If the line connects to the intestines or lower body, the wind may be released as flatulence instead‼️
✅ Therefore, the symptom “press anywhere and burp” indicates:
🚫 Trapped wind in that area, with connections to the stomach or intestines‼️
💆♀️ Commonly involved areas
⚠️ Lines around the navel (Ida–Pingkhala lines)
⚠️ Wind lines of the chest–shoulders–arms (Sumana line, Thawari line)
⚠️ Lines in the lower back or shoulder blade area
🌿 Initial care and management
✅ Traditional Thai massage / hot compress on tight or reactive areas
✅ Drink warm water or sip ginger tea / lemongrass tea to help expel wind
✅ Avoid gas-producing foods such as starchy, oily foods, beans, and carbonated drinks
✅ Light exercise such as walking or stretching
✅ If symptoms include chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness, consult a modern medical doctor as well
✅ Hot-property herbal medicines should be taken only as formulated remedies for safe continuous use
