Grain Rain has passed, and the hot and humid weather is becoming more and more obvious, which is a big challenge for children, especially those with poor spleen and stomach function, who often accumulate food and internal heat. Before summer, we must seize the time to strengthen the spleen and stomach in order to cope with it. The wet and heavy environment will last for a long time. Today we will talk about how to correctly help children maintain a good spleen and stomach. Dampness and heat are getting worse, beware of external and internal dampness attacks. We all know that dampness is one of the six evils, and is caused by dampness evil. It can be divided into external dampness and internal dampness. In spring and summer, there is a lot of rain in the Lingnan area, and the environment is humid, which is classified as exogenous dampness. For children, you also need to be wary of invisible dampness, that is, internal dampness, which is caused by the food and water ingested that cannot be transported and absorbed normally and accumulates in the body. The spleen is wet soil, and it is also the \”body that receives moisture.\” Regardless of external dampness or internal dampness, it is inseparable from the spleen. From the perspective of physiological characteristics, the spleen likes dryness and hates dampness. If the spleen is deficient, water cannot be dissolved, resulting in the internal growth of dampness. This excess water and dampness can hinder the movement of qi, eventually forming a state of spleen deficiency and dampness. Parents can find that many children always have poor appetite, poor digestion, unformed stools, or various skin problems during spring and summer. These are all signs of excessive moisture. Especially since the beginning of spring this year, it has rained for many days in a row and been in a damp environment for a long time, which is very harmful to the spleen and stomach. Therefore, before summer, parents must consciously help their children to strengthen their spleen and stomach and mobilize their spleen and stomach qi. Better cope with the heat and humidity of summer. Many parents are talking about these actions that harm the spleen and stomach. I found that many parents still don’t understand the point and often do things that harm their children’s spleen and stomach unknowingly. For example, when a child is overeating, parents know that they need a vegetarian diet, but they still feed the child a lot; when the child has a cough or fever, they also arrange New Sishen Soup, Atractylodes and Bergamot Soup, etc. Next, let’s talk about two major aspects that parents need to pay attention to. ● You must eat less and eat a vegetarian diet when you have food accumulation. I often emphasize that when children have food accumulation, they should eat less and eat a vegetarian diet, and the food should be cooked well. But parents often overlook this step. Why must they emphasize eating less and being vegetarian while drinking New Samsung Soup? We have previously compared the spleen and stomach to a food processing factory. The stomach is responsible for receiving the food that is eaten, initially rotting it, and then transforming it into subtle substances by the spleen, which is distributed and transported to all parts of the body. The spleen and stomach qi machine is the power of the machine. The qi machine is smooth and the power is That\’s enough. If a child has food accumulation, it means that there is incompletely digested food blocked in the gastrointestinal tract. This not only takes up the space for fresh food to come in, but also hinders the operation of the machine. At this time, what needs to be done is to remove the stagnant food first. Food residue is removed and space is made available for new food. If you eat fatty, sweet, and greasy food that is difficult to digest when you are accumulating food, not only will the nutrients not be absorbed, but it will also hinder the normal operation of the spleen and stomach and aggravate the food accumulation. Even if you are a vegetarian, you should control the amount and not feed your children desperately. Too much will also cause a burden. ● Do not take tonic diet when you are feeling unwell. Some parents are very anxious and think that their children are in poor health and always want to take supplements. I often see messages from parents in the background, saying that their children have coughs and phlegm. Can they drink Xinsi? Divine soup? must be emphasized againIf the child is physically weak, of course he must take supplements, but only when there is no other discomfort. When caring for children\’s bodies, there are two major principles: strengthening the body and eliminating evil. Qi deficiency, yin deficiency and other conditions are deficiency syndromes, which need to be corrected through tonic methods; while the body has stagnation, phlegm, fire, dampness, etc., which are external evils and need to be eliminated. Under normal circumstances, we first remove the evil and then correct it. If supplements are given when there are external evils, it will encourage the evil and aggravate the child\’s discomfort. If the righteousness is indeed weak, it needs to be treated with both attack and supplement, or to strengthen the righteousness first and then eliminate the evil. If the situation is more complicated, it requires professional doctors to operate. Daily adjustment and supplementation is actually not needed. The most important thing about spleen health is transportation. Take 2 steps to make the spleen and stomach move. In wet weather, if you want to enhance the child\’s ability to resist dampness, you don\’t need to take vigorous supplements. There is a view in pediatrics that \”spleen health is not about supplementation, but transportation.\” , that is to say, if you want to strengthen the spleen and stomach, the focus is not on supplements, but on strengthening the spleen and stomach, and enhancing the ability of the spleen and stomach to transport water and dampness. To put it simply, it is to make the spleen and stomach Qi mobile. As mentioned before, as long as this machine is running When it comes up, whether it is food or water, it can be absorbed and excreted normally, and it will not accumulate in the body. If you want to make the spleen and stomach work, the first step is to clear the obstacles. Parents should insist on using the \”10-second method\” every day, observing the child\’s breath, tongue coating, stool, and sleep conditions. Based on these four items, they can judge the child\’s digestion status and guide digestion stagnation correctly. . When the child\’s digestion is normal and there are no other discomforts, you can arrange some dietary treatments to strengthen the spleen and stomach, such as yam, Gorgon fruit, Radix Pseudostellariae, etc., and add a little when cooking porridge or soup to slowly adjust the nutrients. You can also give your children New Sishen Soup, which can be arranged two or three days a week, which is more convenient. New Sishen Decoction recipe: Chinese yam: nourishes the spleen and replenishes qi, nourishes the spleen, lungs and kidneys¹ Gorgon fruit: nourishes the spleen and removes dampness, replenishes the spleen and kidneys¹ White lentils: nourishes the spleen and replenishes qi and removes dampness¹ South almond: moistens dryness and nourishes the lungs , Tongli stool¹ If the child has obvious dampness in the spleen and stomach, such as thick and greasy tongue coating, excessive saliva, and loose and shapeless stools, you need to use some ingredients that can remove dampness and wake up the spleen. What I recommend more is Amomum villosum, which is pungent and warm in nature and is more suitable for children with weak spleen and stomach. You can soak a few Amomum villosum seeds in water or make soup. If your child cannot tolerate the taste of Amomum villosum, you can drink Fu Xianqing directly. Poria Xianqing prescription: Bergamot: soothes the liver, harmonizes the stomach, regulates qi, and dries dampness¹Amomum villosum: warms the spleen, resolves dampness, appetizers, and regulates qi¹Poria: diuretics and dampness, nourishes the spleen and stomach¹Wu Mei: astringes the lungs, astringes the intestines, Replenishing body fluid¹ Clove: warming the middle and lowering the inverse, nourishing the kidneys and warming yang¹ In addition to diet therapy, exercise is also essential if you want to keep the spleen and stomach Qi unobstructed. Movement generates yang, which can drive the flow of qi throughout the body. You can also find in daily life that after children exercise, their appetite will generally improve, which means that the qi of the spleen and stomach begins to flow. Therefore, children should be regularly taken for outdoor exercise, such as jogging, playing badminton, mountain climbing, etc., or practicing Baduanjin. In addition, you can also massage the child\’s abdomen before going to bed, pressing it for three miles to promote gastrointestinal motility. If the child has heavy moisture or stays in an air-conditioned room for a long time, you can use Ganliton to soak the feet once or twice a week.
