According to Chinese medicine, babies are characterized by external illnesses and internal dietary injuries, with common illnesses such as colds and fevers, food accumulation, vomiting and diarrhea. The baby’s congenital development plays a decisive role, but the later care is also very important.
”The righteousness can’t dry up the evil; where the evil comes from, its gas will be deficient”, in the process of nourishment, pay attention to preserving and replenishing the righteousness, the evil will not have the opportunity to attack the human body; or once the external evil attacks the human body, the righteousness in the body will also rise to resist, the external evil will be removed from the human body, then the disease will not happen. Therefore, positive energy is very important to the human body and determines the occurrence, development and prognosis of diseases. The positive energy can be understood as what we often call “immunity” and “resistance”. Zhang Lei, Department of Acupuncture and Tuina, Qilu Hospital, Shandong University

Percussion on the dorsal points can regulate the qi of the internal organs and reduce the occurrence of diseases.
