Tui na treatment for pediatric enuresis

Pediatric enuresis is defined as the loss of urine more than twice a week for up to 3 months in children over 5 years of age. There are many factors that cause enuresis, and TCM considers the deficiency cold of the kidney and bladder as its main causative factors. Tui Na in Chinese medicine can tonify the kidneys and strengthen the yang and strengthen the bladder, which is very effective in the treatment of pediatric enuresis. The following teaches you how to do massage correctly. Action Demonstration: Method 1 The kidney meridian point is located in the little thumb, and the kidney meridian is pushed in the direction from the fingertip to the root of the finger. First, use talcum powder or talcum powder to coat the little finger, if not you can also use the starch or raw powder at home. Then push from the fingertips to the roots of the fingers, pushing 120-180 times per minute, about 200-300 times. The second method is to pinch and knead the urine loss point. The urine loss point is located on the palm side of the little finger, at the midpoint of the second knuckle transverse line. After finding the right position, use the end of the thumb to pinch and knead the urine loss point, generally pinch and knead for 1-3 minutes, and the strength of the pinch and knead should be as strong as the child can tolerate. Method 3: Rub the Baihui point is located at the top of the head, that is, the intersection of the front midline and the line between the two ear tips. You can use the index and middle fingers to rub the Baihui point 100-200 times each time. Rubbing the Baihui point has the effect of awakening the mind and opening the body, helping children to wake up consciously when they have urine at night, and then urinate on their own. Special tips: 1, children’s skin is more delicate, pushing and rubbing gently, so as not to damage the skin; 2, parents should understand the pattern of children bedwetting at night, before the possible bedwetting time to wake the child; 3, if the child urination combined with bladder, urethra infection or other diseases, should actively treat the original disease.
