| | Dr. Schilling's Net Health Book - Abdominal Pain |
 | | Abdominal pain always has to be taken seriously as life threatening situations can arise out of it. | | | Different organs within the abdominal cavity can be the cause of pain, but on the other hand often severe pain that appears organic in nature, can turn out to be psychosomatic. | | | In other words, when a thorough work-up has been done, the physician often comes to the conclusion that there is nothing organically wrong, but that the pain is due to psychological reasons (this is also termed "psychogenic abdominal pain"). |

| | Abdominal Pain ~ Information and Help for Abdominal Pain |
| | Severe abdominal pain can be associated with mild conditions, such as stomach gas or the cramping of viral gastroenteritis, while relatively mild pain (or no pain) may be present with severe and life-threatening conditions, such as cancer of the colon or early appendicitis. | | | Intermittent abdominal pain manifested in an infant by drawing knees to chest, with crying, could be intussusception (telescoping intestines). | | | During physical examination, the health care provider will try to determine if the pain is localized to a single area (point tenderness) or diffuse, and if the pain is related to inflammation of the peritoneum or of the abdomen. |

| | Abdominal Breathing |
| | But until we learn how to integrate natural, abdominal breathing into our lives, many of these advanced yoga breathing (pranayama) exercises can be harmful to our physical and psychological health. | | | In deep, abdominal breathing, the upward and downward movement of the diaphragm, combined with the outward and inward movement of the belly, ribcage, and lower back, helps to detoxify our inner organs, promote blood flow and peristalsis, and pump the lymph more efficiently through our lymphatic system. | | | The end result of our poor breathing habits is not only insufficient oxygen to our brain and the other cells of our body, but also insufficient movement in our internal organs and in the fluids upon which our health depends. |
