A large number of clinical practices have proved that children's massage can really enhance their immune function, and at the same time, it can also ensure that children have sufficient blood, a balanced diet, a strong appetite and normal development.
2. Relieve and alleviate the child's pain
If the child is unwell, massage a certain part of the child's body, and make the corresponding viscera in the body undergo corresponding physiological changes through the connection of meridians, so as to achieve the effect of treating diseases.
