I am a TCM internal medicine doctor , and I have also been in the pediatric clinic for several years. Although I have encountered very serious childhood diseases, they are a minority. Generally speaking, childhood diseases are divided into two categories: one is respiratory problems; the other is spleen and stomach problems.
Children are at a high-speed stage of growth and development, with their own "high immunity" ability, and almost no major diseases. The more common ones mentioned above are respiratory infections such as colds, coughs, and fevers, as well as constipation. Diarrhea, bloating, food accumulation, indigestion and other spleen and stomach problems.
cold and fever
Recently, a parent asked: Doctor Yueyue, why the child is thin, not growing tall, eating, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, and even yellow hair, immunity Does weakness have something to do with the spleen and stomach?
Today, let’s talk about why children’s diseases are mostly related to the spleen and stomach!
There are three reasons (the article is longer, it is recommended to collect, you will know how to regulate the spleen and stomach after reading it):
The first point: the spleen and stomach are the foundation of acquired development.
Why is the spleen and stomach the foundation of acquired development? Children need energy for growth and development. Energy is transformed from nutrition. So what is responsible for absorbing nutrition? Chinese medicine thinks it is the spleen and stomach!
The spleen governs transportation and chemistry,The stomach governs digestion. Both of these characters have the word "hua", so the function of the stomach is responsible for digestion. The spleen can also be "transported", which means to absorb nutrients and transport them to various organs and parts of the body.
Take an obvious example: children have a bad spleen, then transports nutrients and have very poor functions in absorbing nutrients, you will find that this type of children eat special More, just don’t grow meat! Or this child eats a lot and is taller, but looks very thin and weak! I have a big belly, but my arms and legs are very thin. This is a manifestation of a poor spleen and poor transport and chemical functions. Because the nutrients absorbed by the spleen cannot be transported to the extremities and go to the surface of the skin, the child does not gain weight, or the extremities are slender.
The second point: the spleen controls the promotion of clearness, and the stomach controls the reduction of turbidity, so the rise and fall depend on each other, and the spleen and stomach belong to one family.
The spleen promotes clearing and the stomach reduces turbidity. This means that after a person eats something, the spleen and stomach will digest and absorb, and the spleen will absorb good nutrients into the body; the stomach will metabolize bad Garbage is excreted.
So the two old guys in the spleen and stomach have a clear division of labor and perform their own duties, but the obvious role of the spleen will be more important.
There is a saying in Chinese medicine: the spleen and stomach are the source of qi and blood, and the "clear qi" absorbed by the spleen and stomach is the nutrients, which will be converted into qi and blood by the body, and qi and blood are the basis for the growth and development of children.
Good spleen and stomach,Good digestion and absorption. The qi and blood are sufficient. The spleen can quickly transport qi and blood and nutrients to the body's various organs, limbs, skin surface, and hair, so the child grows fast, grows taller, grows stronger, and eats more. , Eat chubby;
On the contrary, has a poor spleen and stomach, poor digestion and absorption capacity, no matter how good eating, no nutrition can enter the body, lack of blood and blood, the child appears thin and yellow skin. Because food is not fully digested, it often appears in the form of constipation, diarrhea, bloating, and frequent bowel movements.
The third point: whether the spleen and stomach are good, you can see the difference on your face.
As mentioned above, the spleen can transport nutrients and blood to the surface of the skin. If the function of the spleen and stomach is poor and the blood cannot be transported to the surface of the skin sufficiently, the child will look bad.
There is a word called " chlorosis ", which means looking at the face is particularly dry, thin, rough, dull, and yellow. This is the lack of Qi and blood caused by a bad spleen and stomach.
If the spleen is not good, you will find that in addition to the poor complexion, the child will also have pale lips, blue veins in the bridge of the nose, eye bags, black or red eye bags, cloudy white eyes, dry hair Huang et al.
From the above three reasons, we can see that the spleen and stomach, as the foundation of the acquired, are responsible for the digestion, absorption, and transportation of nutrients and vital functions of the child. Simply put, if a child has a bad spleen and stomach, the blood will be insufficient, and the immunity will be poor, which not only affects the height development, but also often gets sick.
So it is very important to regulate the spleen and stomach for children. Some parents saw this and said: Doctor, it’s the doctor’s job to regulate the spleen and stomach.We ordinary people don't know how.
In fact, it is not difficult to regulate the spleen and stomach. Do the following 3 points and stick to it. The baby's spleen and stomach will grow day by day. invigorates the spleen and stomach, it is also very helpful for food accumulation, constipation, indigestion, diarrhea, etc. is mainly composed of charcoal chicken gold, char hawthorn, fried malt, fried yam, Polygonatum , ginseng, lotus seeds, sea buckthorn, tuckahoe, coix seed, can also be boiled by yourself, it is best to add honey or rock sugar, sweet and sour, baby loves to eat.
2. Eat on time and rest on time. The diet should be balanced. recommends that the main meal guarantees the main food + whole grains + 2 vegetable dishes + 100g meat dishes . Rest before half past nine in the evening.
3. 30-60 minutes of outdoor exercise every day. Exercise can consume energy. In order to increase nutrient intake, the human body will naturally coordinate the digestive function of the spleen and stomach, and its own coordination is more effective than any external medicine or diet therapy.
Spleen and stomach problems are not a cold or fever, just take some medicine. As the saying goes: three-part rule, seven-part nourishment, and the spleen and stomach focus on recuperating. children with no spleen and stomach problems, adhere to the adjustment, can make the child appetite and grow taller; children with weak spleen and stomach , adhere to the adjustment, can make the child's spleen and stomach absorption reach the normal level, and the height and weight can reach the standard.Improved immunity.
