Pediatric Tui Na – Strengthening baby’s body

Parents often ask me: Are there meridians in children’s bodies? Can I cure diseases through Tui Na? Of course there are, there are meridians in children’s bodies. Since keeping the meridians open is the health care of the body and the treatment of diseases, keeping the meridians open for children can promote their development and enhance their physical fitness for a healthy growth. According to Chinese medicine, children’s internal organs are delicate and their form is not yet full of qi. The term “delicate” means delicate, not resistant to heat and cold; “tender” means tender and weak; “shape” means shape structure; “qi” means physiological function activity; “full” means full. The delicate internal organs refer to the incomplete and fragile development of the organs of the child’s body; the shape and qi are not yet full because the child’s form and function are not yet perfect. Nantong City Hospital of Acupuncture and Moxibustion Department Cao Yun Song Dynasty Qian Zhongyang said: the internal organs of children are delicate, the form of gas is not full in the lungs, spleen, kidney three organs. The lung, its position is the highest, for the five viscera of the Hua Gai, the main body of the Qi, outside the skin. Children’s skin is thin and tender, and the external guard is not solid, so they are susceptible to external evil, which enters through the mouth, nose or skin and hair, and must return to the lungs. Among the five organs, the lung is the first and most vulnerable to evil, because it is the most tender, so the lung is a delicate organ. The spleen is the source of Qi and blood biochemistry, and is the basis of the latter. Because of the rapid growth and development of children, the demand for essence, blood, fluid and other nutrients is greater than that of adults, while digestion and absorption are poor, so the spleen is often inadequate. The kidney is the true yin and yang of the true yin and yang of the true yin and yang of the true yang, and it is the root of the innate nature, which is the root of the growth and development of the child. The innate kidney qi needs to be nourished by the acquired qi to produce qi and blood, and the acquired qi must be financed by the warmth of the innate qi to produce qi and blood. If a child’s kidney qi is not strong, his spleen is also insufficient. Pediatric Tui Na works on the muscular surface of the human body through manipulation to adjust the physiological and pathological state of the human body, thus achieving the effect of healing and health care. The principle of its action is closely related to various techniques and is based on the doctrine of Yin and Yang, the five elements and the meridians of the internal organs in Chinese medicine. The meridians are connected to the internal and external organs of the body, and to the nine orifices, and are the pathways for the flow of qi and blood, as well as the network for the distribution of fluids. The meridians are obstructed, the body’s blood and Qi is not smooth, Yin and Yang is out of balance, it will produce fatigue and disease. According to Chinese medical texts, massage can mediate the balance of yin and yang, unblock the channels and meridians of qi and blood, and also invigorate blood and blood stasis, strengthen the body and bones, adjust the internal organs, and enhance the body’s ability to resist diseases. Its therapeutic effect, without oral medication, avoids the occurrence of toxic side effects and does not cause allergy to children, and is not bound to the time of use, which has a very good health care effect on the development and growth of children.
