Soon after the baby was born, the mother noticed that there were so many veins hidden at the base of his ears. When he cried, the veins became more obvious. The mom sighed: such a beautiful baby, how to call these veins broken! Grandma, however, muttered that this is a bad omen, because of the old saying that “the root of the mountain (root of the nose) veins, disaster approaching”. In fact, this kind of blue veins appear in the root of the nose of infants and young children, although it is not a bad omen of disaster, but it has something to do with the disease. In ancient times, there is no advanced means of examination, doctors rely on look, smell, ask, cut. For small babies who can not speak. Looking at the diagnosis is particularly important, in which the root of the nose tendon is very important to observe a project. Ancient people believe that the root of the nose after the birth of children with blue veins show more weak, prone to a variety of diseases, such as shock, cough, anorexia, worm (parasitic disease) and so on. With the development of the times, X-ray, CT and other high-tech instruments play a better role in the diagnosis of diseases. Many fuzzy and subjective diagnostic methods, including the “mountain root and vein diagnosis”, have been gradually forgotten. However, in recent years, we have conducted a more systematic study of the mountain root sinews and found some interesting phenomena. Babies with “blue veins” are prone to colds We selected more than 150 babies less than half a year old and divided them into two groups for observation. One group consisted of babies born with blue veins at the base of their noses, and the other group consisted of normal babies. During more than three years of follow-up, we did not find that those infants with blue veins at the root of the nose were prone to convulsions, anorexia, worms, etc., as the ancients said. In pneumonia, diarrhea, anemia, rickets, night cries, eczema, and malnutrition. Their prevalence is also not significantly different from that of other children. However, we found an important issue: in the incidence of colds and bronchitis. The “babies with blue veins” were significantly higher than the children without blue veins. Young babies with a blue band at the base of the nose were prone to respiratory infections, so what about older children? We followed up with more than 10,000 children in nurseries and kindergartens and found that about 30% of them had facial veins. In addition to the bruises at the base of the nose, some of these children were found to have bruises in the bilateral temporal region, upper and lower eyelids. Comparing them with other children, they are also prone to recurrent colds, asthma and other respiratory diseases. Cirrhosis “predicts” asthma prognosis It appeared that there was a link between nasal cirrhosis and respiratory disease. The next target of our study was children with respiratory diseases. We conducted long-term observation of children prone to recurrent colds and asthmatic children, and found that a high percentage of these children, about 60%, had nasal veins. In asthmatic children, the prevalence of nasal veins was 70%. We examined the immune function of these children and found that the children with blue veins were significantly immunocompromised. In Chinese medicine diagnostics, the appearance of blue veins generally suggests that there is “blood stasis” in the body, and we found that the platelet aggregation function (a laboratory test that can reflect blood stasis) of the “babies with blue veins” was significantly abnormal. Other tests also confirmed this. The “baby with blue veins” did have blood stasis. “The veins on the face of the baby were “colorful”, including horizontal ones (the majority), vertical ones, branching ones, dark blue ones and light blue ones. Observation, we did not find the various shapes of the tendon what special attention, but the color of the tendon has a lot to do: when the disease attack tendon was dark green; when the condition improves, the tendon becomes light green; when the disease is cured most of the tendon disappeared. This suggests that we: the mountain root tendons in and out of the disease has a certain relationship with the severity of the disease, asthma and other respiratory diseases can be used as a reference indicator of the prognosis.
