How to regulate children’s poor spleen and stomach? What should we pay attention to?

Many parents complain that their children don’t eat well and are always sick. What should they do? In fact, the main reason for not liking to eat is that the child’s spleen and stomach are not in good condition. If you insist on adjusting from the details and patiently start from the root, there will be great improvement slowly!

1. If the child has a bad spleen and stomach, the first thing parents should do is to help the child control his or her diet. Many children nowadays are very willful and want to eat whatever they want. Adults can only let them do whatever they want even though they know it is bad for the spleen and stomach. Moreover, many parents still hold on to the fluke mentality, thinking that eating a little or a few times will not be a big deal! As the saying goes: "Diseases come from the mouth."

2. With the arrival of hot summer, ice cream and cold drinks have become people's favorite for cooling down. Adults love them, let alone children. Summer is the peak season for children to get sick, it is also the season that is most harmful to the spleen and stomach, and it is also the most difficult season to regulate the spleen and stomach. The culprits are ice cream and cold drinks. Once you eat ice cream, your body will feel like heaven and hell. Therefore, for children with poor spleen and stomach, ice cream and cold drinks will make their condition worse! How can they have an appetite to eat? Parents must not let their children do what they want, as the children's health is our responsibility.

3. Prepare light food for your children regularly, without high oil, salt or spicy food! As parents, we tend to prefer heavier tastes. They think that food will not taste good if it is not salty or spicy. After all, children are young and not fully developed, and their spleen and stomach are especially sensitive. It is recommended to eat a lighter diet to protect the child’s spleen and stomach.

4. Giving your child rice soup once a day (rice or millet are both very effective) can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Rice and millet can both enter the spleen meridian and stomach meridian, and their harmonizing and nourishing effects on the body are two-way. It's a great choice for both adults and children!

5. Give your children more high-quality protein such as fish, eggs, fresh milk, etc. Do not feed your children high-fat foods, barbecued foods, puffed foods, or some highly processed packaged foods.

6. Give your child some massage frequently, especially abdominal massage. The method is: let the child lie flat on the bed, use our palms, with the child's navel as the center, massage clockwise and counterclockwise 36 times each, until the child's skin is slightly warm. Pay attention to the strength of the massage, the child's skin is still very delicate so the movements must be gentle.

7. Cover the baby’s belly. The method is: first rub our hands back and forth with a little force until they feel hot. Immediately cover the baby’s belly button with one hand and the other hand on the middle of the lower back (opposite the belly button). Be sure to keep the baby's skin close to your baby's skin. After a while you will be able to hear gurgling sounds in the baby's stomach. This is what we commonly call "ventilation." This method also has a good auxiliary therapeutic effect on children's stomach pain.

8. Pinch the spine for your child frequently. The method is: let the child lie flat on the bed, and pinch the skin along both sides of the spine of the child's back with the thumb at one end and the index, middle and ring fingers at one end, then lift it up and push it forward from top to bottom, and then pinch it from bottom to top and lift it up and push it forward. It is fine if the skin turns red. Don't do it for too long.

9. The most important thing is to let children develop good and regular living habits and exercise appropriately. Cultivate bit by bit and start from the details. Only then can we achieve a permanent solution.
