Recently, a colleague’s child was found to be prematurely mature at the age of bone, which may lead to failure to grow taller, and he was worried all day long. Nowadays, children are only children, and they get a lot of attention. The living conditions are getting worse and worse, and the medical methods are getting better and better, so more and more problems are found.
In order for children to grow taller, some parents will let their children take growth hormone, some parents desperately try to supplement calcium, some parents let their children consume messy health products, and some parents will buy some physical therapy products to help increase their height. It is true that it is good to let children grow taller, but you should not be in a hurry to get quick results and put the cart before the horse in the pursuit of growth.
A passage in the “Nei Jing – Shang Gu Tian Zhen Lun” is extremely classic: “The woman is seven years old. Kidney Qi Sheng, teeth more hair long; two seven and day sebum to, any pulse through, Taichong pulse Sheng, the moon to time down, so there are children; three seven, kidney gas average, so the real teeth and long pole; four seven, tendons and bones firm, hair long pole, body Sheng strong …… husband eight years old, kidney gas real, hair long teeth more; two eight, kidney gas Sheng, day sebum to, essence overflow write, Yin and Yang and, so can have children ; three eight, the average kidney qi, tendons and bones strong, so the real teeth are born and long pole; four eight, tendons and bones rumble, muscle full strong ……”. From this we can see that girls have the possibility of growing taller before the age of 21, and boys have the possibility of growing taller before the age of 24.
Each child has individual differences and the peak of development varies from person to person. The human body is a very perfect organic whole, with exquisiteness and complementarity that science cannot achieve. Height is an external manifestation of the human body, and it is also adjusted according to the internal needs. By intervening through external forces, the appearance may look good, but the balance will be broken, leading to problems, which may result in quantity without quality, and may lead to the loss of others to make up for the shortage.
Chinese medicine talks about the unity of heaven and man, about following the qi of nature, about following the Tao, which is actually about maintaining balance. Therefore, for the problem of children’s height, it is not necessary to pursue too much, or even affect the mentality of the child, but should adjust its inner balance, through exercise, dietary therapy, medicinal supplements, so that the kidney qi is sufficient, kidney essence is full, in balance to develop and improve.
