The use of traditional Chinese medicine theory in the ten methods of raising children of the ancients is worth knowing about parents!
Introduction: Raising children is an important responsibility for every parent, and some ancient wisdom is also of great help to the education of children. "Treatise on the Origin of Pediatric Diseases" is a "Ten Methods for Raising Children" written by Chen Wenzhong, a physician in the Southern Song Dynasty, whose content is simple and practical, and has played a very good role in children's physical health. This article gives a detailed introduction to this, hoping to better understand and apply some ancient knowledge for parents.
Keep your back warm. Chen Wenzhong of the Song Dynasty believed that the back was the hiding place of the lungs, and once it was cold, it would cause damage to the lungs. The back is a place of yang energy, with many pores, which is very susceptible to wind and cold. Children may have fever, sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose and other manifestations after catching a cold. You can warm your back with a hot water bottle, a hair dryer to warm your back, and other ways to get rid of the cold.
Warm belly. The spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow, and the abdomen is the place where the spleen and stomach are hidden. Keep your abdomen warm to prevent your spleen and stomach from being attacked by the cold. Your baby's abdomen will make a gurgling sound, causing symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. While the baby is sleeping, parents can put on a belly bag for the baby to keep the baby warm.
3. Keep the feet warm Chen Wenzhong, a famous doctor in the Southern Song Dynasty, believes that the feet are located at the end of the body, far away from the heart and veins, and the qi and blood are not smooth, and they are very susceptible to cold. At the same time, the feet are also the intersection of many meridians and have a great connection with various organs of the body. If your feet are cold, it can cause diarrhea, vomiting, frequent urination, bedwetting, and other symptoms. Therefore, parents must wear shoes and socks when letting their children walk outdoors, and never walk barefoot. In addition, soak your baby's feet in hot water before going to bed, which will warm up your baby's feet.
Cold head. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the head is where the body's yang energy resides, so it is hotter than the feet. Children's heads are prone to heat and sweat. For the body to dissipate heat, keep the head at a lower temperature. This is not to say that your child's head is cold, but that his head is at the right temperature and not too hot.
I felt a chill in my heart. In traditional Chinese medicine, the heart is "fire", and if the heart is too hot, symptoms such as dry mouth and flushed face will occur. So, keep your head calm to help dissipate heat.
Not to be unusual at first glance.
Children are easily stimulated during development, and there will be mood swings, night crying, epilepsy and other symptoms. Therefore, parents should try their best not to let their children suddenly see something frightening.
Spleen and stomach deficiency and cold. The spleen and stomach are important organs that like heat and are afraid of cold, and when the spleen and stomach are weak, a series of diseases will appear. Children's spleen and stomach tend to be weak, so be careful not to eat too much cold food, such as cold drinks. It is recommended that parents feed more warm food to help the baby regulate the spleen and stomach.
The background is like the sun.
Chen Wenzhong, a famous doctor in the Southern Song Dynasty, proposed that Tai** has a certain warming effect and can enhance the body's immune function. Therefore, to let the baby bask in the sun as much as possible during the day, do more outdoor sports, and you can also open the window to let the sun shine indoors.
Sweat it out. When the baby sweats, don't wipe it with your hands immediately, let the sweat slowly evaporate, which helps to dissipate heat in the body and maintain the temperature in the body at a stable level.
Can't get enough to eat. Children's stomachs and intestines are smaller, and their digestive function is poorer. Therefore, when parents feed their babies, they must grasp the amount and do not give their babies too much food. Eating too much can cause symptoms such as indigestion, bloating, etc. Keep your baby in a hungry state at all times, and control your diet in moderation to help your baby's digestion and absorption.
Don't look at the "Ten Methods of Raising Children" is very easy, but it is good for the child's body. Parents should apply it to their children in combination with their specific conditions, so that they can stay away from illness and grow healthily. In the process of cultivating children's good habits, we should also pay attention to children's personality differences, not overly protective and intervening, so that children have room for independent development and exercise their own resistance.
