How to deal with the symptoms of excessive liver fire in babies in spring? This method is not to clear away heat but to nourish yin.

On Monday morning, when Zai Zai got up, I found that the corners of his eyes were covered with eye droppings, and I immediately screamed in my heart. Sure enough, when eating breakfast, Zai Zai took a bite, frowned and said, \”Mom, I can\’t eat, my tooth hurts.\” Then he told me that the gum on the right side was swollen. I told him not to eat if he couldn\’t eat it. He thought about it but couldn\’t resist the temptation of food. He endured the pain and took a few bites, but finally gave up because of the toothache. He looked at me, rolled up his sleeves consciously, and said: \”Mom, give me a massage quickly! Come on, clear the Tianhe River.\” I looked at him speechlessly and said that it was too late and I was going to be late for school. Let him He should control himself when eating lunch at school, try not to eat meat and eat more vegetables, and I will help him deal with it when he gets home in the evening. Zaizai pouted, although he was a little reluctant, he still agreed. On the way home from school in the evening, he started rubbing his nose constantly and told me that it was itchy. I told him to deal with it when he got home. When I got home, I didn\’t cool him down, but quickly cooked him some pear soup in a health pot, which contained white fungus, pear, black plum and wolfberry. Dinner was all about vegetables: Malantou mixed with dried fragrant vegetables, boiled cabbage sum, stir-fried lettuce and multigrain rice, a completely vegetarian meal. After eating, waiting for him to finish his homework and take a shower, I started to massage him. However, the massage method was not to clear away heat, but to nourish yin. You may find it strange that Zai Zai obviously suffers from fever, excessive eye mucus, and swollen and painful gums. These are all signs of excessive liver fire, but why don\’t I give him heat instead of nourishing yin? This is because Zai Zai\’s situation was caused by overindulging in his diet the day before. It was Zai Zai’s friend’s birthday on Sunday. They invited him to eat steak and paella at noon, and they also gave him ice cream, French fries and fried chicken during karaoke in the afternoon. By this time I already felt that something was not going well. I originally wanted them to have a lighter meal at night, but several children clamored for conveyor belt sushi, so I had to let them go. Sushi is Zai Zai’s favorite. If he indulges, he will eat too much. Although as the baby gets older, the body\’s basal metabolism increases and the baby is less likely to accumulate food if he eats more, but after eating so much meat and high-protein food, the body will still be unable to bear it and cause problems. This condition is spleen yin deficiency. When yin deficiency occurs, nourishing yin is enough to eliminate the heat. I have introduced many articles about spleen yin deficiency, but many mothers still don’t understand what yin deficiency is. Nowadays, there are many cases of yin deficiency in children, so today I will introduce it to you in detail. Yin and Yang in Chinese medicine are relative. Yang is dynamic and exists on the outside, while Yin is static and exists on the inside. Under normal circumstances, when a person\’s yin and yang are balanced, he is healthy and normal. Of course, it is impossible for most of us to maintain an absolute balance of yin and yang all the time. Today there will be a little more yin and tomorrow there will be a little more yang. If everyone keeps active, it is normal to maintain a relative balance during activities. It\’s like making soup on the stove. We have to keep adding fire to keep the circuit open and heating up to keep the soup warm. Fire is like the yang energy in our body, and water is like our yin. When the fire is strong enough, the water can be heated, that is, there must be enough yang energy.To maintain a normal state. If the firepower is insufficient, the same pot of soup will not boil for a long time. This is Yang deficiency. People who often feel cold and are afraid of the cold will like the strong heat of summer and are not afraid of heat; but they will especially hate winter because their hands and feet will be cold in winter, which makes them particularly uncomfortable. If the fire intensity is normal but the soup is too little, the water vapor will evaporate quickly and the soup will be cooked dry, this is Yin deficiency. Yin deficiency will make you feel hot, and you will like to drink cold water and eat cold drinks, which often manifests as symptoms of getting angry. But in this case, if you only clear the heat, it is like turning down the fire. Even if the fire is low, when there is too little water, the low fire can still quickly dry out the water and continue to cause the heat. symptom. Therefore, in the case of yin deficiency, it is not enough to clear away heat. Instead, we should vigorously nourish yin, that is, add water to the pot to keep the fire and water in a balanced state. Children are more likely to suffer from yin deficiency, which is closely related to their physical characteristics and their usual diet. Children are born with sufficient yang energy. During the upbringing, because our current diet is too rich, many babies consume a large amount of meat, sweets, snacks, etc., and the baby only eats meat and no vegetarian food. After a period of time, the baby will There is a situation of insufficient body fluid in the body. When the body fluid is insufficient, the quiet part of the body is reduced. The body is insufficiently nourished and gradually develops into yin deficiency. Therefore, when a baby develops yin deficiency, although clearing heat can be effective in a short period of time, the yin deficiency situation has not been resolved and the water in the pot has not been added enough. Within a few days, yin deficiency will return. Under such circumstances, add water directly to the pot to nourish yin. When the yin is replenished, the situation of getting angry will naturally be eliminated. This is how I deal with Zai Zai. Zaizai ate too much meat and was exposed to hot weather the day before. In the recent spring, Yang energy has grown, which makes him more prone to Yin deficiency. Internal and external reasons are intertwined, resulting in Yin deficiency. Therefore, although his performance seems to be \”heated\”, I can quickly achieve results by directly nourishing yin. I believe many mothers are beginning to struggle with how to judge whether their baby is suffering from internal heat or yin deficiency? Here we teach you two simple methods. First of all, whenever you find that your child has symptoms of internal heat, and if you are in doubt, you should first clear the heat to relieve the emergency. After the problem is relieved, continue nourishing yin for 1-2 weeks. Basically, children who love sweets, snacks, and meat mostly have Yin deficiency. A mother once asked me why her baby didn\’t like to eat and would only eat every time. Why was he still suffering from yin deficiency? After discussing with her, I found that the baby didn\’t like to eat, but he often ate biscuits and desserts and drank lactic acid drinks every day. , these will actually cause Yin deficiency. So when you are in doubt, clear away heat first and then nourish yin. Of course, if you are confused, you can also clear away heat and nourish yin at the same time. Secondly, you can carefully observe your child\’s performance. There are two simplest criteria for judging Yin deficiency. Basically, as long as these two symptoms are present, it can be judged that Yin deficiency is present. One is to look at bags under the eyes. As long as the child has red bags under his eyes, regardless of whether the bags under his eyes are light pink or red, this is a typical sign of Yin deficiency. In this case, you can nourish yin directly. The second is to look at the palm of your hand. Children\’s palm readingIt\’s usually warm. If your palms feel cool to the touch, it\’s not a big problem. But if the palm of your hand feels warmer than usual, it feels hot and dry, which is basically a sign of yin deficiency. At this time, combined with the child\’s tongue coating and bags under the eyes, we can determine whether there is Yin deficiency. If the child is diagnosed with yin deficiency, vigorously nourish yin. As for Zaizai\’s treatment, I used diet therapy and massage to nourish his yin. In terms of dietary therapy, the Xiaodiaoli Decoction I gave him is actually a good product for clearing away heat and nourishing yin. This small pear soup is made from pears, black plums, white fungus, and wolfberry. Pear is cool in nature and sweet in taste, and returns to the lung and stomach meridians. Pears have the effects of promoting body fluids, moisturizing dryness, clearing away heat and moisturizing the lungs, and can take away lung heat. If there is excess heat, it can directly clear away heat. Black plum is especially used to nourish yin. As the saying goes, sweet and acid can transform yin. Black plum is made from dried green plum. Green plum itself is particularly sour, which can nourish yin. The medicinal properties of black plum belong to the liver, spleen, lung and large intestine meridians. Children often drink some black plum water, which can nourish the spleen, lungs and liver, and nourish the large intestine. These effects are exactly what children need for their growth. Children have spleen deficiency, lung heat, and liver fire. Some children often have heat accumulation in the large intestine and are constipated. It is good for these children to drink some black plum water during this season. Tremella is sweet, light and neutral in nature. It not only has the effect of tonifying the spleen and appetizing, but also can replenish qi and clear the intestines, nourish yin and moisten the lungs. Tremella fuciformis contains a large amount of plant-based gums, which are particularly effective in nourishing yin. Lycium barbarum is mild in nature and sweet in taste. It belongs to the liver and kidney meridian. It has the effects of nourishing the kidneys and essence, nourishing the liver and improving eyesight, nourishing the blood and calming the nerves, producing body fluids and quenching thirst. Boil these four ingredients together until the soup is thick, which is when the yin-nourishing effect is the best. Because pears themselves are sweet, when boiled with plums, the boiled water will be sour and sweet without adding sugar. Children especially like to drink it. If you have time, you can make this for your baby to drink. You can also boil ebony plum sugar water or Tremella lotus seed soup directly and drink it. White radish water can also be used, but the radishes this season are already out of season. Plum juice and white fungus soup are more suitable. If the baby has food accumulation, you can also make sour plum soup. The hawthorn in the sour plum soup has a stronger digestion effect. Generally, when the baby has bad breath due to food accumulation, I will make sour plum soup. But in terms of taste, he prefers to drink the pear soup I cooked. I let Zai Zai eat vegetarian dishes for dinner. These vegetarian dishes are easier to digest and have a heat-clearing effect. Because Zai Zai ate too much meat the day before, not eating meat for a few days would not only prevent him from becoming malnourished, but would also make it easier for his body to return to a state of yin and yang balance. When a child has eaten too much meat, parents must learn to be cruel and let him eat vegetables mainly, so that the body can automatically adjust back. If there is already a problem and the parents continue to stuff the child with meat, the child\’s yin deficiency will continue to increase, and if the child does not change, he will quickly fall ill. If the child\’s yin deficiency is already serious, you can also use 3-5 grams of medicinal materials with good yin-nourishing effects such as Ophiopogon japonicus and Rehmannia glutinosa to make soup for him to drink. Ophiopogon japonicus and rehmannia glutinosa are both excellent products for nourishing yin. Use 9 grams each of yam, lotus seed meat, and barley, and 6 grams each of Ophiopogon japonicus, adenophora root, and rehmannia glutinosa to boil water for the baby to drink. Children over 5 years old can use this amount. Children under 5 weigh half as much. But this is a very serious case of yin deficiency, such as bags under the eyes.Red, and the soles of the hands and feet are particularly hot and dry. Use this recipe if you want to nourish yin quickly. Under normal circumstances, you only need to use the method I introduced earlier. Finally, there is the massage to nourish yin. The massage to nourish yin is really convenient for me to use myself. Sometimes even just giving the baby a set of yin and yang balancing techniques can quickly improve the symptoms. First, do the Yin and Yang balancing technique. The specific techniques are: push the three levels 300 times and withdraw the six fu organs 100 times; push the three levels 100 times and withdraw the six fu organs 300 times; push the three levels 100 times and withdraw the six fu organs 100 times. All the techniques should be done once. When the baby has yin deficiency, this set of techniques can be done once a day. Children with severe yin deficiency can take it twice a day. Massage the internal labor palace for 1 minute and the external labor palace for 1 minute. Massage the two Shangma points for 1 minute, massage Zusanli for 1 minute, massage Taixi for 1 minute, and massage the spine from top to bottom 10-15 times. Everyone can use these methods of mine for babies, and they are all safe and effective. Spring itself is full of liver fire and yang energy. Even if the baby does not have yin deficiency, in this season, yin can be properly nourished to maintain the balance of yin and yang!
