Tui Na Methods for Infants to Regulate Spleen and Stomach

The massage methods for infants to regulate the spleen and stomach include belly rubbing, clearing the spleen meridian and tonifying the spleen meridian. 1. Abdominal massage: the child lies on his back, and the operator uses the palm surface or four fingers to massage the abdomen for 5 minutes. 2. Clearing the spleen meridian: the operator holds the child’s thumb in one hand to fix it, and pushes the threaded surface of the child’s thumb from the tip of the finger to the root of the finger with the other hand; or holds the child’s thumb straight to fix it, and pushes the end of the thumb in the direction of the root of the finger to the tip of the finger from the radial edge of the thumb of the child for 100 to 500 times with the other hand. 3. Tonic spleen meridian: the operator holds the child’s thumb in one hand to fix it, and pushes the threaded surface of the child’s thumb with the other hand with the threaded surface of the thumb in a rotating motion; or flexes the child’s thumb, and pushes the end of the thumb from the tip of the child’s thumb along the radial edge of the thumb in the direction of the fingertip to the root of the finger for 100 to 500 times. If you need to use the above massage methods, it is recommended to go to a professional medical institution.
