How does TCM treat diarrhea in children? 4 TCM methods to improve diarrhea in children

Infantile diarrhea is one of the most common diseases for children under two years old. When you are sick, you can use Chinese massage methods, such as tonifying the spleen meridian, tonifying the large intestine, clearing the small intestine meridian, rubbing the abdomen, rubbing the fish tail, and prescribing some Chinese medicine for diarrhea. During the treatment, you must pay attention to keeping the navel warm and avoid getting cold. The daily diet should be light and do not eat fried food to avoid delaying recovery.

Diarrhea in children is mainly characterized by an increase in the frequency of bowel movements, or thin or watery stools. This disease is one of the most common diseases in children, especially in infants under two years old, and the younger the age, the higher the incidence rate. It occurs all year round, but the incidence rate is higher in summer and autumn. Once the symptoms of diarrhea in children appear, parents are most worried. They do not want to give their children some drugs with side effects, but only want to use some traditional Chinese medicine methods for treatment. The specific methods are as follows.

1. The Chinese medicine massage method is very unique in treating diarrhea in children. No medicine is needed, and just gentle massage can achieve the effect of stopping diarrhea. The first place to massage is the spleen meridian, which is at the radial edge of the thumb. You can push from the fingertip to the base of the finger, and push about 200 to 300 times each time.

2. Another thing is to nourish the large intestine. The large intestine is located at the radial edge of the index finger. This position can be gently massaged from the fingertip to the base, but the force must be gentle and moderate, not too heavy. If the force is too strong, it will cause pain and discomfort to the child's skin.

3. In addition to massaging the above-mentioned acupoints, you can also clear the small intestine meridian, rub the abdomen, rub the fish tail, push the seven vertebrae, pinch the spine, etc. to relieve the symptoms of diarrhea in children.

4. If the above methods are ineffective, you can also ask a Chinese medicine doctor to prescribe some Chinese medicine to relieve the symptoms of diarrhea in children. However, you cannot use the medicine privately. You must take it according to the doctor's advice, otherwise the medicine will not achieve the desired effect and will delay the disease.

To sum up, this is the method of TCM to treat pediatric diarrhea. When suffering from pediatric diarrhea, you must pay attention to keeping the navel warm and avoid getting cold, which will make the diarrhea worse. The daily diet should be light, and you should not eat greasy, fried, spicy and irritating foods. You can drink more warm water. The warm water should be boiled water that has been cooled. When boiling water, you must boil it. Otherwise, drinking it will not only not help the condition to recover, but will also aggravate the symptoms of diarrhea.
