In many areas, the stomach line has 45 points and the stomach is paired with many other organs. The areas of treatment are individual since the origin of the problem is not a general way to treat either.
There are many pressure points for the stomach. The stomach channel runs from the foot to the eyes and there are points all over the body.
Local points on the abdomen are usually used for stomach pain. Depending on your specific symptoms, points on the arms, legs, head, and even ears can be used!
Stomach 36 and various points on the stomach.
There are different points like ST36, REN14, and Li4. Please look at meridian points for these.
There are many pressure points for the stomach. One point is near the bump
There are many, many points that can treat “stomach issues.” Some are on the abdomen, and some on the extremities.
Good afternoon,
The most common pressure points for stomach problems are IE STO.36, STO.35, LI 10, SP 9. In Chinese medicine, stomach problems have four different diagnoses, different diagnoses use different points. The best for you is counsel your practitioner so you can get the proper point.

St36, 3 fingers below the lateral side of the knee. Pc6, 3 fingers from the the crease of the wrist, between the tendons.
Actually, the stomach has an entire channel/meridian with 45 points dedicated & named along it because it is very important to consider in the treatment of all digestive disorders. Some of my favorite stomach points for acupuncture are found on the feet!

There are hundreds of points on the body and over 50 on the stomach channel, around thirty on the spleen channel, its paired elemental organ, and several points that access the stomach via other systems/channels. So, this question is impossible to answer with so little detail. I would recommend a shiatsu book for you to explore this.
On the lateral legs below the knees. The acupoint is called Stomach 36 (ST36). You can find the image on the Internet.
There is no individual or specific pressure point. Acupuncture works by balancing a series of meridians or channels in the body, and that balancing is unique to your imbalance which is holistic and not individual-symptom only so that is not a question that can be answered here - you'd need to see a provider to get a specific diagnosis for you.
There are several points that can be used to treat stomach issues. To learn which is best for you, I recommend you visit your acupuncturist.
There is no single point for the stomach. I do acupuncture, and we use many different points depending on what is causing the pain.
There are some pressure points that are good for the stomach: PC 6; LI 10; ST 36, 20, 21; SP 4; CV 10, 11, 12, 13, 14. I can't tell you where are all of them because it is difficult for me. PC 6, that I can tell you, is located at two inches above the midpoint of the wrist; CV 12 is located at navel straight up 2 inches.
