Mom is happy! If your baby doesn't eat and has diarrhea, just touch him and he will be fine

Parents with babies at home often encounter health problems such as their children's lack of energy, lack of appetite, and frequent diarrhea. As parents, this often gives them a headache. In fact, when your baby has these problems, you can try Chinese medicine's spinal massage therapy.

The use of spinal massage to treat diseases has a long history. This has long been recorded in ancient Chinese medicine literature. Because this therapy is simple to operate, easy to learn, and does not require special equipment or drugs, it is widely spread among the people. Most Chinese medicine practitioners and masseurs use this method to treat some pediatric diseases. As long as the symptoms are suitable and the techniques are applied appropriately, it really can have miraculous effects, which can be regarded as a unique feature of pediatrics in traditional Chinese medicine.

Pediatric spinal massage therapy is a clever combination of massage techniques such as pinching, pushing, twisting, kneading, and lifting, and is a therapeutic method that acts on the muscles on both sides of the child's lower back spine. There are two methods of operation. One is to use the tip of the thumb to the tip of the index and middle finger to pinch the skin on both sides of the spine, and push the thumb forward, pinching and pushing from both sides of the sacrum toward the occipital part. The other is to make an empty fist, place the tip of the thumb together with the radial side of the flexed index finger, pinch the skin on both sides of the spine with the thumb in front and the index finger behind, then twist the thumb backward and push the index finger forward, twisting and pushing from both sides of the sacrum toward the occipital part. These two methods can be selected according to the operator's habits and convenience. Generally, pinching from both sides of the sacrum to the occipital area is done once, and 5 times in a row counts as one time. It can be done 1 to 2 times depending on the child's condition and tolerance, every morning or before going to bed at night.

When performing spinal massage on children, you should first choose the right position for the child. The body position should be comfortable and natural, quiet and still or with not much movement but easy to operate. It is best to lie on an adult's body or thighs. Those who are a little older can lie on the bed. Before treatment, the operator should wash his hands, loosen or take off the child's top to expose the entire back. But pay attention to the indoor temperature to prevent children from catching cold. Do not eat or drink cold drinks immediately after pinching the spine. When pinching the spine, the technique must be gentle, slow, flexible and natural. The force of both hands should be even and consistent. The speed of progress and the frequency of the technique should not be too fast. More skin should be pinched. If too little skin is pinched, the child will feel pain and discomfort and cry, and will be unwilling to accept treatment. Before using spinal massage therapy on children, it is best for the operator to practice repeatedly on his own legs or on the body of other adults, and carefully feel whether his technique is correct and the strength is appropriate. Only after becoming proficient can he massage the spine of children. If the child's back skin is damaged, suffers from boils or skin diseases, spinal massage therapy should not be used.

Chiropractic therapy is a drug-free and relatively safe treatment method without the toxic side effects of drugs. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it has the functions of dredging meridians, adjusting yin and yang, promoting the circulation of qi and blood, improving the functions of internal organs and enhancing the body's capabilities. It is particularly effective in strengthening the spleen and stomach, and regulating gastrointestinal function. In recent years, medical workers have confirmed through experiments that pinching the spine can improve the hemoglobin, plasma protein, and serum amylase indexes of children. It can improve children's immune function and strengthen the absorption function of small intestine. It has a good effect on childhood malnutrition, food stagnation, anorexia, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, frequent urination, cough and asthma, and night crying. When a baby suffers from the above diseases, parents may try spinal massage therapy, which will help the baby recover soon.
