The zhongwan is the entire area from under your breastbone to above your navel. Massaging this area can help strengthen your digestive system and relieve nausea and lack of appetite caused by chemotherapy.
Massage this area gently by placing one hand on top of the other and slowly making five circles.
Reverse direction and make five more circles. Repeat this routine for about five minutes.
