Pediatric Tui Na treatment for children with Tourette’s syndrome

  If your child is found to have some manifestations of Tourette’s syndrome, parents can seek a short period of time to regulate herbal tonics, as well as the correct guidance of their own behavior, and at the same time with pediatric Tui Na conditioning can receive very satisfactory results. There is absolutely no need to take drugs for months and years, which hurts the child’s mind and body and increases the family’s financial burden. For example, life care should pay attention to sleep, exercise and rest patterns, combining work and rest, and abstaining from electronic products; strictly correcting bad eating habits, matching meat and vegetables, and abstaining from spicy, cold, sweet and greasy stimulating foods; at the same time, changing the negative attitude towards the child at the right time, patiently facing the child’s dawdling, impatience or restlessness, and refraining from paying too much attention to the child’s tics or stopping them with reprimanding words.  Parents and children should work together to adjust their psychological state, eliminate the sense of shame, and actively prevent recurring colds and illnesses to cut off the external pathway of twitching aggravation. In addition, pediatric tui na, as a green non-drug therapy, stimulates acupuncture points through gentle and special techniques (such as pinching, pushing, kneading, pressing, etc.) to achieve the purpose of preventing and preventing the spread of diseases before they occur by harmonizing the qi and blood, unblocking the meridians, stabilizing the qi, balancing the yin and yang, and providing sufficient positive qi. For children with spleen and stomach deficiency, parents can use pushing San Guan, tonifying the spleen meridian, tonifying the lung meridian, reversing the eight trigrams, rubbing two people on the horse, rubbing the abdomen and pinching the crest, etc. For children with liver depression and fever, parents can use clearing the liver meridian, clearing Tian He Shui, pounding Xiao Tian Xin, pressing and rubbing the small transverse lines, and pushing down the seven bones.  Finally, the clinical diagnosis of children with tic disorder is mostly spleen deficiency and liver depression, therefore, Chinese herbal tonics should focus on regulating the spleen and stomach, taking into account draining the liver and Qi. This is because some doctors are currently using drugs that can temporarily control the symptoms of twitching, but they cannot achieve the goal of curing the child, and at the same time harm the child’s yang energy, which eventually leads to recurrent attacks and stagnation.  In conclusion, for children with mild to moderate tics, after 1-3 months of home behavioral therapy, spleen and stomach tonics and pediatric tuina will improve or heal well. In conclusion, regulating the spleen and stomach, together with the external treatment method of pediatric tuina, can protect the Yang energy of the whole body and achieve long-lasting results; it can reduce the long-term use of drugs and greatly shorten the course of the disease, which is also safer.
