Especially for some deficiency-cold diseases, children with weak spleen and stomach are more suitable.

Symptoms of spleen and stomach weakness in children: emaciation or obesity, blue or yellow complexion, salivation or excessive saliva, thick white or yellow tongue coating (yellow is hot), chapped mouth and lips (mostly spleen deficiency and excessive heat), eczema (eczema is rooted in spleen and stomach weakness and damp heat), anorexia or overeating (uncontrolled), abdominal distension or bloating, excessive exhaust or farting. Poor stool texture, such as egg-shaped stool or separation of feces and water), constipation (including dry stool like a ball, once every few days, normal stool after dry head, difficulty in defecation, mostly heat, but also simple spleen deficiency), frequent bed wetting or excessive urination. And the abdominal pain complained by the child.

Acupoints for moxibustion treatment: Dazhui, Shen Zhu, Zhongwan, Shenque, Shu Wei and Sishu.

Children's frequent moxibustion on Dazhui and body column can improve immunity and promote children's growth and development.

The main diseases of Dazhui point are: children's physical weakness, asthma, sore neck, shoulder pain, arm pain, arm paralysis and so on.

The column is in the midline of the back, in the depression under the spinous process of the third thoracic vertebra. When selecting points, take prone position or prone position, first determine Dazhui point, and then determine the body column point.

Body column, the meaning of the body's pillar, is suitable for dizziness caused by listlessness, wheezing caused by insufficient middle qi, proctoptosis caused by atmospheric subsidence, backache caused by the inability to lift the qi of Du meridian, and is often used as an acupuncture point to strengthen children's physique, which is considered to treat children's diseases.

Shen Zhu point is called "Moxibustion Point for Children with All Diseases" in Japanese medical circles. Children moxibustion Shen Zhu point for a month, mostly because their appetite and weight are very clear.

Significantly increased. Clinically, I like to treat spleen and stomach weakness with Zhongwan and Shenque, and often get good results.

Many parents pay more attention to the time of moxibustion for their children. There is no certain time for this, depending on the age and cooperation of their children.

For children under 2 years old, moxibustion at each acupoint lasts for about 5 minutes, with warmth as the degree, that is, mild moxibustion is used. Children aged 3-5 can use moxibustion at various acupoints.
