Years of clinical experience tell me that the same is true for children's maintenance. When the earth begins to converge, we should also learn to help children converge. In this way, when everything is hidden in late autumn and early winter, we can have a better constitution to resist diseases and pathogens.
After the baby enters the autumn, symptoms such as dry skin, dry mouth, unstable sleep and even insomnia often indicate that convergence should be done.
Give the child some restraint.
In fact, it is a competition with nature.
Many parents still think that the word "convergence" is abstract: does "convergence in autumn" mean that the climate in autumn is mainly convergent and dry, or that people's health care should focus on "convergence"? What did the integration get?
Convergence is simply understood as "convergence", just like putting loose sand into your own hands in order to reduce losses. For example, Chinese herbal medicines commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine, such as Schisandra chinensis, Ginkgo biloba, Alpinia oxyphylla and so on. More or less, it has the function of gathering outside and dispersing healthy qi, which can regulate physical weakness and is prone to illness. In autumn, the main convergence of nature is to gather the yang scattered outside inward.
So how to give children a good convergence? When nature begins to gradually collect yang and yin gradually increases, parents should contend with nature and quickly converge and supplement the yang in their children before winter comes, that is, collect yang. I often say that most children are weak and afraid of the cold. When the outside world's yang drops and everything is bleak, if there is a reorganized yang protector, it will not be so easy to get sick.
There are many ways to gather yang, not just going to bed early and sunbathing.
Moxibustion and mountain climbing can be done.
Yin and Yang not only exist in opposition, but also support each other. While helping your baby to strengthen yang, you should also pay attention to nourishing yin and moistening dryness. Only when yin, body fluid and yang are relatively sufficient and balanced can the body and qi and blood run comfortably and reach, and foreign evils will not invade. Teach everyone a set of "four methods of converging yang qi" to make the baby converge yang qi and spend the winter healthily.
1. Have a good sleep and get together.
The sun is full outside in summer. I once said that it is not a big problem for children to sleep half an hour later than usual. But after autumn, the importance of sleep appears. Giving your baby enough sleep time can not only relieve autumn deficiency and restrain Yang Qi, but also promote fluid production and nourish yin, which is beneficial to the balance of yin and yang. You can try to let your child sleep 1 hour every day and flexibly adjust the time of getting up. For example, take a nap for half an hour and get up for half an hour in the morning and evening.
Note that gathering yang does not mean that the more you sleep, the better. Children who often sleep late are easily distracted, and the more they sleep, the less energetic they are.
2. Get more sun on your back and keep warm.
On a calm and sunny day, it is economical and effective to take the baby to bask in the back and replenish the yang with the yang. Sunbathing time is from 9: 00 a.m. to 10 or 4: 00 p.m., and one time should not exceed 15 minutes. Just sunbathe until the child sweats slightly. Remember to replenish water after sunbathing.
If the child has a slight illness and pain, parents can take the child out without worrying, or they can bask in the back on their balcony or even through the window. Although the effect is not as good as outdoor, it is still helpful to the overall spirit of children.
3. Wen Ai dispels deficiency and cold in middle energizer.
Compendium of Materia Medica records: "Artemisia argyi takes the true fire of the sun and can return to Yuanyang." Ai can regulate qi and blood, warm channels, dispel cold and dampness, which is the best choice for warming babies and strengthening yang.
In addition to warming the sun at Shenque (keeping the navel warm), I used to say that in autumn, you can gather yang to protect the lungs, and you can also let the baby lie down and warm the whole spine with moxa sticks.
4. Climb mountains and do sports.
When the weather is fine, a family can climb a mountain or go for a walk in the suburbs, which not only helps to relieve stress, but also protects the lungs and soothes the liver. If the children are younger, or the weather is bad outside, parents can also take their children to do radio gymnastics. Doing exercises is soothing and soft, and sweating will not hurt the yang. At the same time, you can stretch your muscles and exercise your child's coordination and flexibility. In particular, chest-expanding exercise can better publicize the qi in the lungs, and children can be appropriately allowed to do more groups.
Lean pork is a good helper for gathering yang.
Not thick or greasy, benefiting qi and nourishing yin
Before our platform, we introduced many seasonal foods and medicinal materials suitable for replenishing water, calming the heart, benefiting qi and promoting fluid production in autumn, including lily, lotus seed, lotus root and yam.
In fact, there is one of the most common ingredients, which is very suitable for children to supplement in autumn, and that is lean pork. "Compendium of Materia Medica" says, "Pork nourishes yin and blood, benefiting qi and moistening lung; The pig is calm and calm. "
Give children a proper amount of lean pork, or use lean pork and pig bones to make soup and porridge, which can nourish yin, nourish yin and nourish blood, promote fluid production and replenish fluids. What's more, pork is rich in protein, phosphorus, calcium, iron, fat and vitamins. It is more peaceful and easier to digest than beef and mutton. It is good food for children and can be used as a daily diet.
Children with weak digestive ability can drink soup from lean pork pot without food accumulation and pain, and only drink soup without residue:

In addition, I would also like to remind parents: convergence of yang, can not ignore the emotional conditioning of children. Children in this season are prone to symptoms such as irritability, insomnia and crying at night.
Parents should take good care of their children's emotions and don't let them get too excited. The education of children should also be gentle, don't yell at children, and pay attention to the way of communication with children.
