Cold Belly - Hiebara

Japanese: 冷腹 - ひえばら

This refers to abdominal symptoms caused by insufficient abdominal insulation, such as at night. Cold stimulation induces gastrointestinal motility and secretion disorders via the autonomic nervous system, resulting in symptoms such as a cold feeling in the abdomen, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Some people sometimes feel a cold feeling in the abdomen on a daily basis. In many cases, this is accompanied by abdominal discomfort, borborygmus, and abnormal bowel movements. It is recommended to strengthen the autonomic nervous system through appropriate exercise and skin training. Keeping warm using an abdominal band or hand warmer is also effective.

夜間など，腹部の保温が不十分なためにひき起こされる腹部症状をいう。寒冷刺激が自律神経を介して消化管の運動，分泌障害をひき起こし，腹部の冷感と下痢，腹痛などの症状をもたらす。ときに日常腹部の冷感を感ずる人がある。多くが腹部不快感，腹鳴，便通異常を伴っている。適宜な運動，皮膚の鍛練など自律神経の強化を図るとよい。腹帯，懐炉などによる保温も効果がある。【福富久之】
