9-month-old baby with white tongue

In Chinese medicine, the tongue is closely related to the human body and the color of the tongue can be used to determine the nature of the disease. 9-month-old babies with a white tongue are mostly affected by spleen deficiency and dampness. If the baby’s tongue is thick and greasy, this is because the symptoms of dampness are heavy, parents should pay attention to the child’s diet, do not eat cold, greasy food. If the baby has symptoms such as loose stools, poor appetite, lack of thirst and water intake, it can be treated by taking Ginseng and Atractylodes macrocephala. Parents should let their children go out more often to participate in sports to promote digestion. Parents can also help their babies’ digestion by rubbing the baby’s acupuncture points, such as the Foot San Li, Shang Ju Xu and Yang Ling Quan, or by rubbing the baby’s abdomen in a clockwise direction.
