New coronavirus pneumonia belongs to the category of "epidemic" in traditional Chinese medicine, belongs to damp poison epidemic . The basic pathogenesis of is external invasion of epidemic poison, evil in the lungs, and deficiency of healthy qi. The key points of prevention and treatment are strengthening the spleen and removing dampness .

Traditional Chinese medicine focuses on adjusting the imbalance of yin and yang in the human body, stimulating and restoring the body's original immunity , that is, strengthening the body and dispelling evil , to achieve the purpose of treatment.

The new coronavirus is a "moist poison epidemic". If you want to prevent the epidemic, you must avoid excessive moisture in the body.

▶ Moisture can be divided into internal and external, but both are closely related to spleen soil.

• Exogenous dampness refers to the moisture brought by the external environment.

• Internal dampness is mostly due to the baby’s poor spleen and stomach.

For example, if you have poor eating habits, like eating raw and cold food and meat, and not exercising, undigested food will remain in the body and become wet, which will harm the spleen and stomach. It happens that the spleen transports water and dampness. If the spleen does not move well, the water and dampness cannot be discharged and accumulates in the body. If things go on like this, it will become "internal dampness".

Children's internal organs are delicate and are easily affected by external wind, cold, heat and dampness. Once external dampness invades the human body, the spleen earth in the middle burner will be blocked, which will lead to spleen failure. The transport and transformation function of water and liquid will become worse, water-dampness will grow again, and the spleen will become more deficient.

The spleen and stomach are weak in transportation and transformation, "qi and blood biochemistry have no source" , the child's resistance will also decrease, the child will have poor spirits, will easily get sick, which will cause a series of allergic diseases over time, and even affect growth and development.

Heavy moisture and weak spleen and stomach are interrelated and influence each other. If not handled well, a vicious cycle will be formed.

Signs of moisture in children

Therefore, if you want to have no moisture, you must ensure that the spleen function is strong. At this time, you can't simply remove dampness, but also strengthen the spleen. The two complement each other and are indispensable. A two-pronged approach can break this cycle.

Here I would like to recommend a classic traditional Chinese medicine strengthening the spleen and removing dampness dietary prescription that is suitable for all ages - Sishen Decoction .

▶ Strengthen the spleen, remove dampness, soothe the mind, and replenish deficiency, suitable for all ages

The "four gods" refer to: Poria , yam, lotus seeds, Gorgon fruit .

According to the "Chinese Pharmacopoeia":

Lotus seeds are sweet, astringent and flat in nature and flavor; they return to the spleen, kidney, and heart meridians; they can nourish the spleen and stop diarrhea, replenish the kidney and astringent essence, nourish the heart and calm the mind.

Yam is sweet and mild in nature and flavor. Returns to the spleen, lung, and kidney meridians. The main functions are to nourish the spleen and stomach, promote the production of body fluid and benefit the lungs, and nourish the kidney and astringent essence.

Poria cocos is sweet, light and flat in nature and flavor. Guixin, lung, spleen, kidney meridians. Functions: , diuresis and dampness , strengthening the spleen and calming the heart.

Gorgon fruit is sweet, astringent and flat in nature and flavor. Returns to the spleen and kidney meridians. Function: Indications: Replenishing the kidneys and strengthening essence, nourishing the spleen and stopping diarrhea, dispelling dampness and stopping vaginal discharge.

Simply put:

Poria is an garbage recycling truck , which collects the excess "moisture" in children's bodies so that they can be transported away easily.

Gorgon is a wastewater processor , which performs secondary treatment on "moisture waste". What can be recycled is recycled, and what cannot be recycled is sent out of the body.

lotus seed is a dose of lubricant , allowing each machine to work with peace of mind.

Huaishan is an engine , which provides full energy and gives everyone the motivation to deal with moisture.

In this way, it can not only remove dampness, but also strengthen the spleen, so that moisture is no longer harmful. Moreover, the medicines and foods are all made from the same ingredients as , which are mild in nature and can be used by adults and children, whether it is dampness, heat or cold dampness. Therefore, children who accumulate food, do not like to eat, have weak spleen and stomach, and have indigestion can try this bowl of soup.

Mothers can arrange it for everyone in the family, but pregnant women, diabetic patients, and menopausal women need to take it with caution or less. If you have symptoms of constipation recently, it is best to wait until the constipation symptoms improve before consuming it.
