Hot! Complete solution of simple Chinese medicine massage for children

Hot! The simple manipulation of children's massage fully illustrates the manipulation of children's massage, which has been recorded since the Qin Dynasty. Carry forward in the Ming dynasty. Aiming at the acupoints of infants, this paper specially invites Chinese medicine practitioners to demonstrate seven sets of massage methods suitable for infants aged 0-3, which are simple in steps, mild in nature and can also enhance parent-child feelings. Now let's experience the profoundness of China culture! Characteristics and precautions of infant massage in traditional Chinese medicine The human body has meridians and qi and blood running, and massage helps to get through the meridians and qi and blood running and relieve discomfort. Traditional Chinese medicine baby massage can be used as a way of daily health care, such as body heat, frequent diarrhea, constipation, etc., which can be improved by gentle traditional Chinese medicine massage for children and can promote family communication. When the baby is sick, it can also be combined with conventional drug treatment to complement each other.

However, when the baby's skin has trauma or inflammation, it is not suitable for massage. All Chinese medicine massage methods are the same. When massaging younger babies, the intensity should be light. You can use a little lubricating oil or sesame oil to reduce the friction between the skin. Although each massage method has its main indications, even babies without these symptoms can receive massage (especially the massage method at Banmen point to promote digestion). The frequency of massage is about 50 ~ 300 times each time. The frequency of baby is less, and the frequency of big baby can be more. You can take care of yourself, mainly for the convenience of parents, and you can massage every day. When the symptoms disappear, there is no need for massage, but even if you continue to massage, it will not have a negative impact on your baby's body.

? Do you know the basic gestures of TCM massage? The massage technique of traditional Chinese medicine can also be called "eight methods of bonesetting", which means there are eight gestures. This paper will apply two of them, namely "membrane method" and "indigenous method". In addition, the "kneading method" will be introduced, and these gestures will be used in various massages.

"Kneading method": Gently knead the acupoints with your thumb. Clockwise or counterclockwise.

"Moxibustion": Rub acupoints back and forth with fingertips or palms.

Practice: Push and knead by kneading or pushing. Massage the acupoints clockwise or counterclockwise with the thumb and forefinger in a circle, and repeat 50 ~ 200 times.

? Always observe the baby's reaction when massaging? Adults can massage with fingertips or palm roots, with a little gesture of pushing forward. Always observe the baby's reaction when massaging. If the baby cries or resists, please stop the massage first and don't force the baby. Sometimes babies are not used to sudden massage by adults; Or the adult's skin is too rough, and excessive friction makes the baby feel uncomfortable; Or maybe the adults massage too hard. I suggest trying again a few times another day. You can relax your strength and add a little massage oil, and your baby may be more adaptable. Massage techniques should be from light to heavy, but not too heavy.
