Heavy moisture is an important reason for children to get sick repeatedly. How to treat babies with heavy moisture?

Nannan\’s physical condition always makes her mother anxious. She often catches colds and coughs, and sometimes the cough lasts for a long time. Recently, Nannan\’s cough has just gotten better, but a new situation has appeared again. She doesn\’t like to eat. After finally eating a little, she will have a bowel movement immediately, but the bowel movement is not smooth. She has to sit on the toilet for a long time before she can defecate. The key is that the stool is loose and often contains undigested food, such as leaves, vegetables, whatever you eat. The problem with the respiratory system has just improved, so why is there another problem with the digestive system? Nannan\’s mother\’s heart, which had just settled down, became anxious again. She took Nannan for a checkup and found that the indicators were normal and there were no viruses or bacteria in her stool. This result really gave Nan Nan’s mother a headache. In order to promote absorption, Nan Nan\’s mother gave Nan Nan probiotics for more than a month. She had less frequent bowel movements, but she still pooped what she ate, and the absorption situation did not improve much. In the past few days, my mother also discovered that Nannan had started to develop eczema, with several patches appearing on her hands and legs. Why is this so? After listening to Nannan’s mother’s description, I couldn’t help but think deeply. If analyzed purely from the symptoms, there is something wrong with the spleen\’s transportation and transformation. Skin eczema and repeated coughing are also caused by insufficient spleen transportation and lung heat. But why is absorption so poor? In order to clearly understand Nannan\’s condition, I asked Nannan\’s mother to take a photo of Nannan\’s tongue under natural light conditions. When I saw the photo of Nan Nan\’s tongue, I was a little confused. Nan Nan\’s tongue coating is yellow and greasy, and the entire tongue looks a bit swollen, which is a typical sign of heavy moisture. I quickly checked the location of Nan Nan’s mother, and it showed that it was Nanning, Guangxi. I roughly understand the reason for Nan Nan’s problem. To be cautious, I asked Nannan\’s mother again about Nannan\’s eating habits and whether she took a lot of medicine. Nan Nan\’s mother told me that Nan Nan usually likes to drink cold water. Because the weather in Nanning is hot, her family often gives her some refreshing and refreshing drinks to relieve heat and relieve internal heat. In terms of medication, when Nannan was sick before, she used a lot of medication, including antibiotics. After listening to Nannan’s mother’s explanation, I was basically sure that Nannan’s poor absorption and skin eczema should be caused by heavy moisture. Nanning, Guangxi has high humidity, and there is a lot of moisture in the air. This is moisture in the external environment. If you stay in a humid environment for a long time, moisture can easily corrode your body and enter your body. Now that living conditions have improved, everyone\’s lifestyle has also changed a lot: staying in air-conditioned rooms every day, exercising less, basking in the sun less, eating big meals, drinking cold drinks and eating ice cream, which leads to moisture in the body. The air cannot be discharged, so 70% of people have the problem of excessive moisture. More and more children are also suffering from moisture problems, which is also caused by changes in living habits. Children tend to eat more meat, sweets, and snacks, which are all hygrogenic; many parents overprotect their children, and when they are older they are busy with homework, which results in them exercising less and sweating less, and children who drink cold drinks also They eat a lot, so many children also have problems with moisture. Nan Nan\’s physical condition has always been poor. She eats a lot of food that can clear away heat and remove internal heat, and takes a lot of medicines. Most of the food that can clear away heat and remove internal heat are relatively cold. Antibiotics are also cold medicines. These medicines will cause symptoms if they enter the body.Coldness in the body aggravates spleen deficiency. In Chinese medicine, the spleen is responsible for managing fluids. When the temper is sufficient, the water and dampness entering the body can be transported and transformed normally. But when the spleen is insufficient, the ability to transport water and dampness will be compromised. If moisture cannot be removed, it will remain in the body. Whether it is from external factors or internal environment, the amount of moisture entering the body is constantly increasing, and the body\’s ability to transport moisture is getting weaker and weaker. If it is not dealt with in time, moisture will accumulate in the body and the body will become ill. To give a simple analogy, when the weather is sunny, there are a few light clouds floating in the sky. As more and more water vapor evaporates, the clouds become thicker and thicker, and finally turn into rain. The same goes for body moisture. The initial moisture is easily discharged from the body. But over time, as moisture accumulates, your body will feel uncomfortable. Everyone can understand it as long as they consider the actual situation of life. When the humidity in the air increases, especially in rainy weather, people will have back pain and feel very uncomfortable. Wounds and joints will be sore. This is the effect of external moisture. When moisture increases in the body, the body will naturally be greatly affected. Some people will have headaches and dizziness, their limbs will be heavy, and their bodies will feel like they are wearing a set of wet clothes, sticky and greasy, making them feel uncomfortable all over. When moisture troubles the spleen, there will be poor appetite, reduced food intake, poor absorption, and unformed stools. If the moisture is not discharged, it will turn into phlegm and occupy the spaces in the body. The phlegm here is different from the \”phlegm\” we understand as spitting out. This is an invisible phlegm, but it is very harmful. The place originally occupied by qi and blood is filled with phlegm and dampness, and people will feel lack of energy all day long, and accordingly there will be insufficient qi and blood. For babies, phlegm and dampness will aggravate respiratory problems and increase the incidence of skin eczema and other problems. Nannan is typically caused by moisture troubled spleen. According to traditional Chinese medicine, spleen deficiency results in loose stools. Chinese people should eat whole grains, mainly meat. What is harmed is the spleen and stomach. The spleen transports and transforms water and dampness. If the spleen is damaged, the water and dampness cannot be completely transported and transformed. Accumulate in the body. Insufficient spleen transportation and transformation will naturally lead to a lack of appetite, poor appetite, and problems with digestion and absorption of the food eaten. The spleen and stomach function is weak, and the food eaten cannot be digested and absorbed normally, so the stool is unformed and has a loose stool. Many indigestible foods are related to moisture. Moisture is the easiest to penetrate. When moisture encounters cold, it becomes cold dampness, and moisture is the easiest to penetrate. When moisture meets cold, it becomes cold dampness. This is just like in winter. If the climate is dry, no matter how cold it is, people can still tolerate it, but if the humidity is heavy, people will feel uncomfortable. Winter in the south is more uncomfortable than winter in the north because the humidity in the south is heavier and the cold and dampness hit you. Some babies have white and thick tongue coating, which is typical of cold-dampness. In cold and wet conditions, babies are more likely to catch colds and colds. When moisture meets heat, it becomes humid heat, which is like a sauna day in summer. It is hot and humid, making people breathless. It is obviously not as pleasant as when the sun is shining in the sky and the climate is dry. When the baby\’s tongue coating turns from white and thick to yellow and greasy, cold turns into heat, and various damp and hot conditions will occur. Damp and hot conditions are very difficult to deal with. Many babies have repeated bronchitis and dampness.Rash, tonsillitis, etc. are caused by damp heat. When moisture meets wind, it turns into rheumatism. It is easy to drive away wind, but once it becomes rheumatism, it often becomes a chronic disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis, which is very difficult to cure. After listening to my introduction, Nan Nan’s mother suddenly realized. To improve Nannan\’s condition, the first thing to do is to remove dampness. I told Nan Nan’s mother that the following things must be done to remove dampness: First, ventilate frequently and dehumidify frequently. Keep your home environment dry. Moisture is divided into \”external moisture\” and \”internal moisture\”. Exogenous dampness is mainly caused by the invasion of dampness into the body due to humid weather outside or from wading in water, being exposed to rain or being damp at home. Most areas in the south are very humid, with the average annual humidity in most areas being as high as 77%. Once the rainy season enters, the weather is gloomy for days, precipitation continues, and everything is wet. The human body feels very uncomfortable. A humid and unventilated environment can make people very uncomfortable, especially now that air pollution is serious. Moisture is wrapped in smog particles, which is more likely to affect the baby\’s weak respiratory tract, causing repeated problems in the baby\’s respiratory tract. Therefore, it is very important to have a dehumidifier in your home environment. When the home environment becomes dry, it is easier to stay away from external moisture. My father has a bad back. When there is heavy humidity in the air, he gets pain in his back. In order to make him feel more comfortable, I specially prepared a dehumidifier at home two years ago. Every time there is heavy humidity, I quickly turn on the dehumidifier. I really don’t know if I don’t open it, but I’m shocked when I open it. Sometimes when it rains, even if the windows are closed and the doors and windows are closed, the indoor humidity can be as high as 85%-90%. No wonder people feel particularly uncomfortable. Once the dehumidifier is working and the humidity drops, his back pain will be quickly relieved. I didn\’t feel that obvious before, but since using the dehumidifier, I have noticed the difference more and more obviously. Before using a dehumidifier, people would feel weak, grumpy, and suffocated when it rained. After using a dehumidifier, the air becomes drier and my mood becomes much more comfortable. Therefore, it is very important to remove external dampness. For babies, dehumidification is more important. If moisture is heavy, babies are more likely to have respiratory problems and skin problems. Therefore, dehumidification in the environment must be done. Do not let your baby stay in a humid place for a long time, and try not to play in humid places outside. Do not open windows often on humid or rainy days, and dehumidify as soon as possible. Especially during the rainy season, you may wish to turn on more dehumidifiers or heaters to keep the room dry. This is very helpful for the baby! 2. Exercise more to eliminate dampness. Sweating through exercise is the most effective way to eliminate moisture. Many parents are afraid that their children will catch cold or get sick if the wind blows after they sweat. I am also afraid that my children will bump into each other when exercising, so I don’t let them sweat during exercise. This is actually a very wrong approach. Sweating when children exercise is very beneficial to their health. It can not only remove moisture, strengthen their physique, and improve the body\’s disease resistance, but also aid digestion, promote the circulation of qi and blood, and thus prevent the occurrence of endogenous dampness. At the same time, the body sweats slightly during exercise, which can also take away excess water from the body. For the health of your children, you must let them exercise more and sweat and detoxify during exercise. Growing up, Zai Zai rarely caught a cold due to sweating during exercise.Sweating during exercise is a good thing. Many children catch colds after exercise. It is not caused by sweating, but by failure to keep warm in time when their body temperature rises after exercise. When exercise stops, the body will cool down. At this time, it is necessary to keep warm immediately. Do not let the child take off his clothes, so that the child will not catch cold. At the same time, the body sweats slightly during exercise, which can also take away excess water from the body. After exercise, do not take a shower when you are sweating profusely. When you are sweating profusely, the pores of your body are open. If you take a shower immediately, moisture will enter the body from the pores and become internal dampness. Therefore, after exercising and sweating, it is best to take a shower two hours later. 3. Dampness-removing soup can be improved by dietary therapy. The most classic dietary therapy for eliminating dampness is red bean and coix seed soup. The specific method is: boil red beans and barley in water at a ratio of 1:1. It should be noted that because red beans and barley are both cooling, this method is more suitable for summer consumption. The weather in Guangdong and Guangxi is hot, so this method is suitable. For people with a weak spleen like Nan Nan, I asked Nan Nan\’s mother to add dried yam to the red bean and coix seed soup, which can nourish the spleen, lungs and kidneys. If your baby has a strong heart and bad temper, you can add lotus seeds and lily to clear the heart and moisturize the lungs. If you catch a cold, do not drink barley because barley is cold. At this time, it is better to use Sichuan peppercorn water to soak your feet. Grab a handful of Sichuan peppercorns, put them in the water, boil them, let them warm and then soak your feet. You can also use spicy seasonings such as white cardamom kernels, Amomum villosum, and Sichuan peppercorns in dishes as seasonings to dry out dampness and warm the stomach. If the moisture has turned into phlegm-dampness, the tongue coating is thick and greasy, white like frost, or yellow and greasy, or the tongue coating has cracks, this is a sign of phlegm-dampness. You can use the ancient recipe \”Wen Dan Tang\” to soak your feet. The specific operation is as follows: Recipe: 30 grams of Poria, 6 grams of tangerine peel, 6 grams of Pinellia ternata, 6 grams of bamboo root, 6 grams of Citrus aurantium, and 6 grams of Zhigancao. Soak all the medicinal materials in water for an hour, bring to a boil over high heat for about 20 minutes, then turn to low heat and cook for another 20 minutes. Turn off the heat, let it warm, filter out the medicinal residue and soak your feet. If the humidity is particularly high, you can soak once in the morning and evening. These therapeutic methods can also be used by adults with severe dampness. 4. I have used moxibustion to remove dampness myself. The effect of moxibustion in removing dampness is very obvious. When using moxibustion while soaking the feet, the effect of removing dampness is often more obvious. To perform moxibustion at home, it is recommended to buy 6-7 pots, light them all, and tie them to the abdomen or carry them on your back. Acupoints such as Zhongwan, Shenque, Guanyuan, and Tianshu are very effective in dehumidifying. These methods can also be used by adults. Postpartum mothers often have symptoms such as uterine weakness and uterine cold. Moxibustion can also directly introduce Yang Qi into the uterus and improve the symptoms of uterine cold! The back is the most important meridian hub of the human body. The Governor Meridian, Bladder Meridian and major acupoints are all concentrated on the back. Therefore, moxibustion on the back is very effective in dredging the meridians and eliminating moisture. In addition to these places, moxibustion can also be done on Zusanli and Yongquan on the soles of the feet. These two acupoints can help discharge moisture. Moxibustion on these two acupoints requires the use of a single moxibustion pot, which is fixed at the acupoints. 5. Eat less cold sweets and stagnant seafood. Preventing dampness starts with changing your living habits. The source of dampness is big fish, meat, fine white rice and white noodles, so you need to control it from the source and reduce the intake of meat. , reduce sweets, snacks and other foods, Eat more whole grains, green leafy vegetables and fruits. In addition, eat less moist seafood such as shrimps and crabs. Dampness in the spleen and stomach can easily cause allergies. Dampness can trap the spleen and stomach, affecting the digestion and absorption of the spleen and stomach. Damp seafood such as shrimps and crabs should be eaten less at this time. Moreover, these high-protein foods are difficult to digest, and eating too much will also increase the burden on the spleen and stomach. Nan Nan\’s mother quickly bought a dehumidifier for her family and used moxibustion and diet therapy to dehumidify Nan Nan. On this basis, combined with spleen-tonifying techniques, a week later, she sent me a message saying that Nannan’s stool was normal and there was no indigestion. He also showed me a photo of Nan Nan’s tongue. Nan Nan’s tongue is no longer swollen, and the tongue coating has turned into a thin white coating. Nan Nan’s spirit has also improved. This is the direct effect of removing dampness. Many mothers may pay great attention to removing dampness themselves, but they don’t pay much attention to removing dampness from their children. Today\’s environment, eating habits, etc. all lead to excessive moisture. Removing moisture from your baby is also the key to keeping your baby healthy and less likely to get sick!
