Many parents may not know about children's massage, but they all know about chiropractic, and because it is simple and easy to operate, many parents are very keen on chiropractic, but do parents really know about chiropractic? If you don't get out of the misunderstanding of chiropractic, it will bring more harm to your baby!
Chiropractic can be divided into upper kneading and lower kneading.
When it comes to children's massage health care, all textbooks and health books for children, as well as all kinds of children's massage experts and health experts, are definitely talking about chiropractic, only talking about the benefits of chiropractic, such as dredging meridians, stimulating yang to stimulate appetite, promoting qi and blood circulation, improving viscera function and enhancing the body's disease resistance. The side effects caused by improper chiropractic are often just a few words or not mentioned at all, giving parents an illusion that every child is suitable for chiropractic health care.
First of all, the chiropractic mentioned in general children's massage textbooks and health books refers to the upper chiropractic (that is, pinching from bottom to top), but in practical application, there will also be lower chiropractic, but because the lower chiropractic is rarely used in daily health care, most parents only know the upper chiropractic.
Pinch up is a supplement, pinch down is a clear.
To understand the applicable symptoms of chiropractic, it is necessary to understand the principle of chiropractic. Chiropractic is operated on the bladder meridian and Du Meridian in the back, and the upper chiropractic is from Changqiang point (near the tip of coccygeal vertebra) to Dazhui point. Du meridian is in charge of the yang of the whole body, and several main acupoints on Du meridian are all acupoints for rising yang. According to the principle of meridian massage "reinforcing along meridian and purging against meridian", the purpose of chiropractic along du meridian from bottom to top is to promote yang, which belongs to reinforcing method. The order of lower chiropractic is opposite to that of lower chiropractic, which has the functions of clearing away heat and purging fire, moistening intestines and relaxing bowels. It belongs to purgative therapy, and is usually used for the treatment of excess heat such as fever or constipation, and is rarely used for health care.
In practical application, the lower chiropractic is often pinched or replaced only by pushing the back. For example, a hot child has a fever. After massaging the acupoints on your hand, push back (from Dazhui to Changqiang) until your skin is red and hot, which can effectively speed up the fever reduction. Upper chiropractic can mobilize yang, warm the kidney and strengthen the spleen, and transport the spleen and kidney. At the same time, chiropractic has a direct impact on kidney, spleen and lung through a series of important acupuncture points on the bladder meridian of the back. Because the fundamental purpose of upper chiropractic is to supplement Yang Qi, it is more suitable for symptoms such as food accumulation, constipation, diarrhea and cold. For children with yang deficiency who are vegetarian, Yang Qi will be improved, their resistance will naturally be enhanced and their appetite will be improved.
For yin deficiency and damp-heat syndrome or internal heat syndrome, it is not suitable for regular chiropractic, otherwise the more crowded the internal fire, the more serious constipation, sores on the mouth and tongue, increased night sweats, irritability and even fever at night.
Didn't the book say that chiropractic can enhance resistance?
Mother was puzzled and asked, but why do I pinch my children every day, and the more I pinch them, the worse I get? The side effects caused by improper chiropractic for a long time can be heard and seen almost every month. Therefore, no matter how good the health care law is, it also depends on personal physique.
Upper chiropractic can greatly supplement Yang Qi and contribute to heat, which will accelerate the transportation of body functions. Therefore, it is necessary to stop according to the different physical conditions of the child. It is not necessary to pinch more every day, usually 3-9 times, and it is useless to pinch more.
Some parents blindly believe in the health care function of chiropractic, thinking that the more kneading, the better. They pinch their children ten or twenty times a day and continue to pinch them in the morning and evening. If we persist for a long time, it will cause more serious harm.
Special reminder, because chiropractic will aggravate stomach fire, children with strong stomach and weak spleen are the kind of children who feel underfed and easy to eat after eating too much. Parents must not massage their children often. Such children are not uncommon now.
When is the best time for chiropractic?
According to the time of day, the morning is the best, and when the sun rises in the morning, it is also the time when the human body is full of yang. At this time, the upper chiropractic conforms to the laws of nature and the effect will be more obvious. Night is the time to nourish yin, so chiropractic is not allowed in principle. Otherwise, yang rises and yin hurts, and people who are really hot are recruited. Some parents reacted that their sleep became worse or even irritable after chiropractic at night. That's the reason. According to the time of the year, it is best to hide yang in spring and summer, and chiropractic in winter will cause yang diarrhea, and because it is cold in winter, yang diarrhea is easy to catch cold, so in principle it is not suitable for chiropractic in winter, so parents must pay attention.
Which children are suitable for pinching?
Some parents asked, saying that my children are prone to catch a cold and a little constipated, but they are not easy to get angry, or some said that my children can't tell what constitution they are, and they are not easy to get angry or catch a cold, but they really want to do chiropractic care for their children. In this case, I generally advise parents to give their children chiropractic in the morning, push their backs from top to bottom at night, or rub Sanyinjiao and Yongquan points for their children after chiropractic in the morning, which can prevent children from getting angry to some extent. However, for children with obvious excess heat, it is still not recommended to give them chiropractic regularly.
In addition, it should be noted that the side effects of chiropractic mentioned above are long-term cumulative consequences. If you pinch it once or twice at ordinary times, no matter which direction, there will generally be no obvious side effects. For example, for some high fever without sweat, we can either pinch it up or down to help sweat and reduce fever. In this case, we should stimulate it with heavy methods to achieve the purpose of relieving exterior syndrome, sweating and reducing fever, but the direction is not the key. The usual chiropractic care depends on the child's age and physique, and adopts a relatively gentle method.
