We have an acupoint called Dazhui, which should be paid special attention to in daily parenting. Because Dazhui point is an important point on the human Du meridian, Ren Du is the two major meridians of qi and blood. Du meridian is located on the back of human body, which has the function of controlling and promoting the whole body yang. The yang meridians of the whole body will converge at Dazhui point, and the three yang of the hand and the three yang of the foot all have branches passing through Dazhui point, so Dazhui point is called the yang of the yang, which has the most powerful function of governing the yang.

When selecting acupoints, sit with your head down. The acupoints are located at the lower end of the human neck and the depression under the spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra.

Careful observation shows that when it is cold, we will be much warmer when we wear scarves, mainly because we use scarves to stop the cold from entering the body through the Dazhui. On the other hand, if cold air enters from Dazhui, children are prone to symptoms such as runny nose and sneezing. (It is recommended to pay more attention to the warmth of the neck and cervical vertebrae when the weather is cold.)

Warming the spine and nourishing the yang.

When a child has a cold, we can help the human body to tonify yang, resist exogenous pathogens and prevent colds by stimulating Dazhui point. Especially for babies under 6 months, it is generally recommended to use drugs as little as possible. When you have a cold, you can cover Dazhui with a warm towel to help your body sweat, and the sweat will be discharged. If it is too cold and the child does not sweat after waking up, you can let the child put on a hat and sweat quickly.

Moxibustion at Dazhui point

In addition to hot compress at Dazhui point, children over one year old can also use moxibustion at Dazhui point to drive away the cold, and the effect is also obvious. Generally, moxibustion lasts about 5 minutes, or children can sweat slightly. Remember not to blow after sweating to prevent repeated colds.

Wind-heat cold, sucking big vertebra

Dazhui point can not only stimulate human yang, but also clear away heat and relieve exterior syndrome, and harmonize human yin and yang. If it is a wind-heat cold, such as tonsillitis, sore throat, etc., you can take the method of scraping and sucking Dazhui to diarrhea and pyrolysis. Scraping is generally not recommended for children under the age of six, because the skin is too delicate to suck.

Dazhui point is the intersection of yang in our body, so we usually take our children to pay special attention to this point. If it is too cold, don't wear young clothes, and the collar should protect Dazhui point. It's hot, don't pull the child's collar too high, lest the heat cover it. Pay attention to the child's Dazhui point not to be blown when blowing the air conditioner. This point is often blown, and children are prone to catch cold.
