Dr Mallorie teaches us about the colon 😌
The colon (and all our organs, for that matter) really benefits from intentional movement — and this is something you can do easily with your hands!
One massage we love is the I Love U Massage.
✔️ “I:” The Ascending Colon: You’ll want to start by gently rubbing upwards on the ascending colon. Repeat this a few times with your breath. This vertical motion is the “I” in “I Love You.”
✔️ “Love:” The Transverse Colon: Then, we’ll encourage the transverse movement of our colon, by creating an L-shape, joining the “I” of the ascending colon to the horizontal line of the transverse colon, which creates our L shape. Repeat this motion a few times with the breath.
✔️ “U:” The Descending Colon: Then, we’ll bring it all together with the “U” shape. Our hands will follow the upward movement of the ascending, horizontal movement of the transverse, and descending movement of the descending colon to create a “U” shape.
We love recommending this massage for constipation, trapped gas, or when you want to give your colon extra encouragement for doing its job ;)
