Tui Na Methods for Treating Pediatric Tourette Syndrome

To treat pediatric Tourette’s syndrome, you can choose to tonify the spleen meridian, clear the liver meridian, and transport the internal eight trigrams and other massage techniques. The key mechanism of pediatric Tourette’s syndrome is wind-phlegm agglutination and hyperactivity of the liver. The use of massage techniques for tonifying the spleen meridian can strengthen the spleen, promote qi, promote dampness, resolve phlegm, and nourish positive qi. Clearing the Liver meridian can calm the Liver, dissipate heat, suppress wind and stop spasms (calm the wind and relieve spasms). Transporting the internal eight trigrams can regulate qi and resolve phlegm. Children with Tourette’s syndrome are mostly due to the deficiency of the Spleen, where the Earth is deficient and the Wood is multiplied, and the Spleen deficiency and Liver exuberance are common. Using the above acupressure techniques can move the spleen to resolve phlegm and calm the liver to stop spasm. If the child tics symptoms, should be timely to the hospital, after a clear diagnosis by the doctor to arrange scientific treatment program, not lightly or self-tui na treatment, so as not to delay the condition.
