The effect of moxibustion on navel in children is 1, nourishing liver and kidney.
Chinese medicine thinks? Kidney dominates bone, liver dominates muscle? Deficiency of liver and kidney, weakness of bones and muscles. Therefore, in the child's growth period, it is necessary to focus on conditioning the liver, kidney and spleen in order to reach a normal height.
2, regulate the spleen and stomach
The most common clinical condition of spleen-stomach disharmony in children is anorexia. Anorexia is a symptom of children's aversion to food, which is caused by disharmony between spleen and stomach, abnormal reception and transportation. Spleen and stomach are the source of nourishing blood and transforming life, so it is very important for children to develop normally and be healthy. Poor spleen and stomach will affect the healthy growth of children. Therefore, the focus of child anorexia conditioning is the spleen and stomach.
Step 3 strengthen resistance
Cold is a common exogenous disease, which is caused by the invasion of external factors on human body. The disease can occur all the year round, but mostly in autumn and winter or when the climate changes. Modern medicine calls it upper respiratory tract infection, which belongs to the category of Chinese medicine? A cold? Category. The main manifestations of this disease are nasal congestion and runny nose, cough and headache, aversion to cold and fever, general discomfort or soreness. A cold can cause many complications, such as viral myocarditis, rheumatic heart disease, viral encephalitis and so on, with serious consequences. Therefore, attention should be paid to prevent complications.
Matters needing attention in umbilical moxibustion for children 1. Children's health moxibustion has excellent effect, and the method is simple and easy to operate. Children have no pain and side effects, which is very suitable for family promotion and use.
2, children's health moxibustion can be carried out according to different specific conditions of children, generally adhere to 1-6 months until the child is strong.
3. The child's skin is not sensitive to warm pain, and the child is more active and can't cooperate. Therefore, they should be extra careful when applying moxibustion. Adults should put their hands on children's moxibustion parts to feel the strength of children's moxibustion temperature and beware of burns.
It is best to do it in a clean and dry room with good ventilation.
Children who can't talk should be closely observed. When they are separated by ginger and garlic moxibustion, they should gently move ginger and garlic slices to prevent burns.
Moxibustion method: navel 1, moxa cone direct moxibustion.
Hang the burning moxa cone directly at about 1 cm above the umbilicus for moxibustion to feel warm. Moxibustion 15 ~ 30 minutes each time, daily 1 time, and continuous moxibustion 1 time is1course of treatment. Moxibustion can be performed irregularly for 3 ~ 5 courses throughout the year, especially in autumn and winter. The method can effectively prevent and treat diseases such as gastrointestinal dysfunction and neurasthenia caused by physical deficiency.
2. Ginger Moxibustion
Punch a few holes in the ginger, cover it on the navel, light moxa cone, and peck moxibustion on the ginger, which feels warm and comfortable. Moxibustion every time 15 ~ 20 minutes, every other day 1 time, once a month 10 times, and it is best to start moxibustion in winter solstice. This method can prevent indigestion and abdominal pain caused by cold pathogen.
The role of moxibustion in children is 1, warming channels and dispelling cold, promoting qi circulation and promoting blood circulation.
This is very good at moxibustion, and we often use it to regulate all kinds of qi and blood stasis and colds. Modern books think that moxibustion can cure more than 400 diseases, but the ancients thought that moxibustion can cure no disease. The late master of moxibustion, Mr. Zhou Meisheng, wrote in the book Moxibustion Rope that moxibustion was used to the extreme, including Liu Xiang's sports injury, and he thought it would be particularly effective to use moxibustion to promote qi and blood circulation in sports injury. The child sprained his ankle and was cured by moxibustion twice. There are also some dislocated arms. After connection, it should be moxibustion on both sides. Generally, there is no pain after moxibustion. Warming meridians to dispel cold, such as catching a cold, can be used.
2. tonify spleen and kidney, support yang and consolidate the foundation.
This is functionally speaking. Ai itself has the energy of fire. In traditional Chinese medicine, fire produces soil, and soil is the spleen and stomach, so moxa has a very strong function of nourishing the spleen and stomach, which is called the foundation of the day after tomorrow. All Shui Gu we eat must be transformed into qi and blood to be used by the body.
When a child is born, it is 0, which is equivalent to winter, 3 months is equivalent to spring, and 6 months is in the position of fire. First water, then wood, then fire. When the fire reaches the position of fire, the spleen and stomach begin to move, which can digest grains, so we ancients have always advocated waiting until the children are 6 months old before feeding grains. Many children feed complementary food too early, which hurts their spleen and stomach, because they have no firepower to melt food. Especially if you have such children around you, tell them to give them more moxibustion on their stomachs and Hegu points, and slowly make up the spleen and stomach that were injured in the past.
Yang is the foundation of life, and the greatest function of moxibustion is to help and replenish yang, mainly to help spleen and kidney. Kidney is the innate foundation, it controls our growth, reproduction and development, and controls our birth, aging, illness and death. Spleen and stomach are our grain depot. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement the congenital yang.
3, clearing away heat and purging fire, reducing swelling and dispersing stagnation
Medical records in Sun Simiao recorded that moxibustion was used to clear heat for children. We know that children will have a fever if they catch a cold. Fever is the instinct of our body, and we use it to drive away the cold that our body suffers. Our hands are caught in the door, and you will find them very hot. This is because your body uses heat to transfer your qi and blood to repair your wounds. At this time, we use the power of moxa fire to preserve your body energy. Therefore, children with fever, acute tonsils, mumps, hand, foot and mouth disease, and repeated high fever in children are most commonly used for clearing heat and purging fire, and moxibustion is particularly good.
The effect of relieving swelling and resolving hard mass is great, such as rheumatism, infantile parotitis, tonsils and so on.
4. tonify the middle qi, raise yang and relieve depression.
This is also a very important role of moxibustion. The middle qi is the qi of spleen, stomach and liver.
5. Warming meridians, dispelling pathogenic factors and relieving pain.
Folium Artemisiae Argyi is a particularly good plant, which can dredge meridians. The most important thing for a healthy person is sufficient blood and smooth meridians. When you have these two conditions, sub-health will be far away from you. Especially when the child has abdominal pain, moxibustion will soon be gone.
6. Dispelling wind and relieving exterior syndrome, removing dampness and dispelling cold.
It is particularly easy to catch a cold in winter and spring, and children are prone to runny nose and sneezing. At this time, if you moxibustion for a while, about 10 minutes, the child's nose will flow out, and you will see that his face is red and his hands are warm.
Humidity is the most common in summer. In summer, many children suffer from eczema, cold diet and spleen injury, which leads to spleen failure. Moxibustion should also be used to remove dampness, which is quick and painless for children.
7. Adjust yin and yang and balance the five internal organs.
Every organ in our internal organs has yin and yang, and yang is the main function, and yin provides power for yang. Blood is the mother of qi, and qi is handsome for blood. Moxibustion can adjust our yin and yang and balance the five internal organs.
8, disease prevention and health care, enhance physical fitness
We mainly use moxa sticks to treat diseases before they happen, to prevent diseases, to protect health, and to enhance physical fitness. This is a method of health care advocated by people throughout the ages, including our great educator Confucius, who also uses moxibustion for preventive health care.
