The child is in the stage of rapid growth and development, and the organs are not yet mature. Some children have low immunity and are prone to illness. So how can we adjust and improve children's immunity?

In fact, Chinese medicine has many ways to improve children's immunity, such as massage, moxibustion and diet conditioning.

First of all, children's massage, some parents do not understand children's massage, there will be some questions, what is children's massage for? Can it kill viruses and bacteria? Don't you know? Never mind, let's talk about it.

Children's massage can stimulate the body's resistance, make the body reach the balance of yin and yang, drive away evil spirits and strengthen the body, and promote the normal function of immune cells. Therefore, massage can achieve the purpose of conditioning children's common symptoms, relieving discomfort and promoting their healthy growth.

The therapeutic effect of external treatment of internal diseases in children is the same as that of traditional Chinese medicine decoction Massage prescription is equivalent to a dose of Chinese medicine prescription, acupoint is like blindly Chinese medicine, reinforcing and reducing method is like the basic processing method of Chinese medicine, and the actual massage operation time of acupoint is equivalent to dose. As "Tuina Substitutes Medicine Fu" says, "Push through the three customs, substitute ephedra and cinnamon …". Traditional Chinese medicine decoction can nip in the bud and prevent diseases. Similarly, giving children a massage can also play the same role in preventing and treating diseases.

If the baby is sick, you can relieve the pain by massaging the corresponding acupoints at the sick place. Traditional Chinese medicine massage targets a wide range of diseases, such as colds, digestive diseases, asthma, myopia and so on. Massage can not only enhance children's immunity, but also reduce the chance of suffering from infectious diseases. At the same time, massage can also regulate qi and blood, make meridians unblocked and prevent some diseases.

Second, moxibustion.

There is a famous saying in Chinese medicine: "Healthy qi exists, but evil is not right." It means that as long as your "righteousness" is strong enough, you can resist most common diseases. Moxibustion is the best way to replenish yang and qi. Moxibustion has been with us for more than two thousand years. In the Book of Songs, "Picking Ge is like being three years old for a day." It describes the records of ancient people picking moxa and moxibustion. "Mencius" also has "seven years of illness for three years of love." This paper discusses that moxibustion is a good method for some people with poor resistance and easy to suffer from deficiency-cold disease.

As we know, acupoints are the most important part of human meridians, which can regulate yin and yang, replenish qi and replenish blood when effectively stimulated. Especially for babies, it can also enhance immunity and ensure a balanced diet and healthy growth of babies.

Third, diet conditioning.

People can't live without food for a day, and food is closest to people. Now that living conditions have improved, we should not only let children eat well, but also let them eat healthily. In our daily diet, some foods are both food and Chinese herbal medicines, such as hawthorn, yam and medlar. They have no obvious side effects on human body. We can apply different Chinese medicine dietotherapy in different seasons according to different people's constitutions (TCM constitution classification) and treat them according to syndrome differentiation.
