The stomach controls decomposition and storage, and the spleen controls absorption and transportation. To put it bluntly, the function of the stomach is to turn what is eaten in the stomach into a porridge mixture, and the spleen transports nutrients to all parts of the body.
Children with strong bellies certainly have a good appetite and eat more. However, if the spleen is weak, its absorption and transportation functions will be poor, and it is impossible to transport nutrients to all parts of the body. If the nutrition the body needs is not satisfied, it will naturally be small and thin and look like malnutrition. Therefore, if the child has a strong stomach and weak spleen, parents must help the child solve it in time. Children's stomach is strong and spleen is weak, which can be adjusted by children's massage with good effect. Ma Bao might as well give it a try.
Method 1: tonify spleen meridian
Hold the child's left hand with his left hand, and push it directly from fingertip to fingertip along the radial side of the child's thumb with his right hand, which is to replenish the spleen meridian. Repeat 100 times.
Method 2: Clear stomach meridian.
The stomach-clearing meridian is located at 1 joint near the palm of the thumb, not the whole thumb. Centripetal is tonic, centrifugal is clear, so pushing from finger root to finger tip is clearing stomach meridian. Hold the child in your arms, hold the child's small hand in your left hand, and put your right thumb on the child's left and right stomach meridians for 50 times.
Method 3: Knead the abdomen.
The child's stomach is in the stomach, that is, the child's abdomen. Knead your stomach clockwise, and the child will feel much more comfortable immediately, which is more effective than taking drugs that strengthen the stomach and promote digestion.
Method 4: Knead Zusanli.
Most children with blue veins on their noses will be accompanied by problems such as emaciation, yellowing and short stature. Ma Bao should remember that "stay three miles in the abdomen". If there is a disease in the gastrointestinal tract, look for Zusanli first. Ma Bao should remember another sentence, "It is better to eat an old hen than to rub Zusanli". Zusanli is also an important acupoint for regulating the spleen and stomach, tonifying the middle energizer and benefiting qi. Zusanli point is also easy to find, and the place where the four fingers of the outer knee are at the moment is. Rub your left and right legs 1 min.
Method 5: Spinal massage
Hold the skin with both hands along both sides of the spine, push forward while lifting it, and pinch it from the sacrococcygeal region to the occipital neck. This is chiropractic (no more than 10 times a day).
Chiropractic has the functions of regulating yin and yang, dredging meridians, promoting the circulation of qi and blood, and improving the function of viscera. Often used for anorexia, indigestion, diarrhea, insomnia, malnutrition in children, colds, fever and other symptoms. This technique is particularly good, and treasure moms should remember it.
