A child's tongue picture has two characteristics:
First, the tongue coating is thick.
Thick tongue coating indicates stagnation in the spleen and stomach, because the spleen cannot transport and transform, so food stays in the body. Deficiency of spleen and stomach may lead to food accumulation, which in turn weakens the function of spleen and stomach, and eventually leads to spleen deficiency in children.
The child's spleen and stomach are blocked by stagnation, and the heart fire and lung qi can't go down, and the upper coke will get hotter and hotter, and the fire will stagnate. Children like this are very angry. As soon as exogenous symptoms appear, their tonsils will become inflamed.
Second, the tongue is fat and round.
This kind of tongue is called fat tongue, which is a manifestation of spleen deficiency and lack of healthy qi in children. A tongue that sticks out normally should be slightly thinner and of moderate size than a child's tongue. Instead of this, the tongue is fat and round, filling the whole mouth. When the body fluid is too much and the spleen is unable to control it, the body fluid will overflow and enter the gaps of various organs and tissues of the body, including the tongue.
If an adult's tongue is fat and keeps pressing on his teeth, there will be tooth marks. So judging whether an adult has spleen deficiency depends on whether there are teeth marks on his tongue. The tooth marks on the child's tongue may not be so obvious, but the fat tongue is one of the criteria for judging the child's spleen deficiency.
The child's tongue coating covers the whole tongue body, and the tongue coating in the middle of the tongue is thicker, indicating that there is food accumulation in his body.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen opens its mouth and qi is abundant in the lips. What does this sentence mean? In other words, the symptoms of the spleen and stomach are often reflected in the mouth (tongue, lips). The child's lips are very dry, and the corners of his mouth are red, swollen and festering, indicating that the spleen and stomach are hot and the internal heat cannot be discharged.
According to the parents' description, the child will have a breath from time to time, indicating that there is food accumulation in the child's body. His spleen and stomach were blocked, which caused the stomach qi to rush up and brought the smell of the spleen and stomach to his mouth. Children's lower eyelids are sometimes purple and sometimes red. Traditional Chinese medicine theory holds that the lower eyelid represents the spleen and stomach. If the lower eyelid is red and purple, it means that the child's spleen and stomach must be hot.
The heat in this child's body is a mixture of real heat and virtual heat. Because children accumulate food, this will be converted into heat in the body, which is real heat; Moreover, food accumulation can lead to spleen yin deficiency in children, which can lead to deficiency heat.
A child's tongue picture has two characteristics:
First, the tongue coating is thick.
The child's tongue coating is thick, especially in the middle and back of the tongue, indicating that the child's spleen or intestine is stagnant.
Second, the tongue is red.
The tongue of a healthy child should be in a state of "reddish and thin white fur". If the child's tongue is red (observe the edge and front end of the tongue), it means that he has heat in his body. In addition to the red tongue, the child's lips are also red-lips also represent the spleen, and if the spleen and stomach are hot, the lips will also be red.
For children with damp-heat and food accumulation in the spleen and stomach, parents should take measures to regulate their bodies.
If the child has the above situation, the first step to regulate the body is to eliminate food accumulation-food accumulation will be converted into heat, especially in summer, and food accumulation will be more serious than other seasons. At this time, you can stir-fry chicken gizzard-membrane with Jiao Sanxian and Dandelion at home to boil water for your child.
Three beans refer to black beans (tonifying kidney), mung beans (removing fire) and soybeans (strengthening spleen). Parents should remember that the ultimate goal of regulating stomach heat for children is to make the spleen and stomach healthy, and tonifying the kidney is also a way to help regulate the spleen and stomach.
Generally speaking, children drinking 1 week can improve the symptoms of oral ulcer, fever of spleen and stomach and ignition.
Parents must remember that if you want to regulate your child's spleen and stomach, the core is to give your child digestion first-the spleen and stomach are not burdened, and the conditioning effect will be better.
After the child's spleen and stomach food melts and the heat slowly dissipates, parents will begin to nourish yin and replenish spleen.
In addition to the above dietary supplement methods, it is especially beneficial for parents to cooperate with pinching methods to help their children recover.
A child with chapped lips can't always let him lick his lips with his tongue-because the drier his lips are, the easier it is to crack.
In fact, the child's chapped lips are uncomfortable, and parents can give him some lard to moisten it. Buy a little pig fat, put it in a pot and heat it until it boils, and the lard will boil out. The boiled meat residue can be thrown away or fried in the dish together, which is very fragrant. Put the cooked lard in the refrigerator, and when it condenses into a white paste, you can put this white ointment on the child's lips, so that he won't always want to lick it with his tongue.
Chinese medicine believes that lard has the functions of moistening dryness, removing fire and detoxifying. If there is something wrong with the skin, we can also rub it with lard. For example, the elderly are sick for a long time, unable to go to the ground in bed, and have bedsores. What should I do? The simplest nursing method is to apply lard to the sore surface, which is effective in treating bedsore.
When cooking lard, lard will be better if you add a little symptomatic medicine. But if the child has this problem, I suggest putting some ordinary lard on it.
