For two or three-year-old children, in the budding stage of minor problems, they have not yet reached the stage of seeing a doctor, or during illness, they can use some simple acupuncture points to care,
Of course, at home, we may not be able to match acupuncture points as rigorously as professionals, but we can master the general direction and use simple acupuncture points with good results.
Many times we are a little confused when using it, because the basic knowledge is not strong enough. If the foundation of Chinese medicine is solid, a lot of knowledge will be integrated, and it is not so difficult to find.
Today we will review the next six acupuncture points. In life, we can use them flexibly and symptomatically.
1. The spleen meridian
The spleen meridian is divided into two methods, one is the spleen meridian, the other is the clearing meridian.
Supplementing the spleen meridian: can invigorate the children's temper and help their transportation.

Fourth, push four horizontal stripes
four horizontal stripes, in the "Pediatric Massage Classic": Do not think..."
Simply put, this technique can regulate the movement of qi, harmonize qi and blood, reduce swelling, dispel silt, and relieve fever and irritability.
In life, some children do not like to eat for a long time.You can push the four horizontal lines to adjust the qi in the middle. When the child has a cough and eats, you can push the four horizontal lines for about three minutes.

6. Press and knead Zhongwan acupoint
This acupoint, knead for about three minutes, is suitable for children over six years old to strengthen the stomach and strengthen the spleen, warm the dampness and eliminate food .
Because it is close to the internal organs, we do not use this acupuncture point for young children in home care. We are worried that the strength is not good enough to hurt the body, so the baby will try to use the acupuncture points on the limbs.
gently rub Zhongwan acupoint ,It is suitable for lying down and kneading, the chance of breathing will be smoother, and don't press and knead after a meal, it is easy to vomit.
In addition to the above points, massage Zusanli and massage the abdomen ( Shenque acupoint) , Because I have said it repeatedly in the previous tweets, so I won’t nag.
Before massage, the key is to have a good parent-child interaction with the child, so that the child can calm down, and we can calm down, The key is not to have such a strong sense of purpose, span you feel that you protect your children's health through love, so that massage is easier to get mad and the effect will be better.
When we are irritable, tired, our hands are cold, and when the child does not cooperate, we should not give the child massage at home. It is better to play with the child.
