The spleen and stomach in traditional Chinese medicine refer to the spleen meridian and stomach meridian. If a child has an irregular diet, eats too much fatty food, has a picky diet, or has uneven hunger and fullness, it may occasionally damage his spleen and stomach. It is recommended to pay attention to proper daily feeding, not to let children eat too much meat, to have a regular diet, preferably at regular times and in fixed quantities, and to let children eat less snacks.

Pinching the spine can strengthen the spleen, aid digestion and strengthen the body. It can improve appetite, reduce colds and enhance physical fitness.
