Traditional Chinese medicine believes that children are "pure yang", and their constitution is too hot, so they are prone to the phenomenon of "rising to the top". In daily life, the baby's temper tantrums, sleeplessness at night, and dry stool are all signs of "big fire". How to put out fire for children? It can be judged according to the following conditions, and be dealt with pertinently.
Anal discoloration. The color of the anus itself is pink. If the child is attacked by the warm evil poison, the color of the anus will become red or even dark red. The darker the color, the more severely the child gets burned. Generally speaking, the external heat and poisonous evil invade, and the anal color is red; Damp heat invades, and the anus is dark red. Once this happens, you can choose the anti-virus oral liquid, Yinqiao Qingre Granules, Pudilan Xiaoyan oral liquid and other proprietary Chinese medicines for heat clearing and detoxification. In terms of diet, children should eat more fruits and vegetables such as pears, water chestnuts, water chestnuts, cucumbers and tomatoes.
Eye droppings appear. The eye belongs to the liver in traditional Chinese medicine. "The liver opens the orifices in the eyes", so the appearance of eye droppings is generally related to hyperactivity of liver fire, deficiency of liver yin, etc. The baby will also be accompanied by anger, burping, abdominal distension and other manifestations of liver qi stagnation. At this time, we should choose the food that can clear the liver and improve eyesight, calm the liver and regulate qi, such as bananas, pears, persimmons, oranges, mulberry, duck meat, duck eggs, mung beans, lotus root, water chestnut, winter melon, balsam pear, water bamboo, etc.
The tongue is red. In traditional Chinese medicine, there is a saying that "five parts match five zang organs". The tongue corresponds to the heart, so inflammation of the heart fire or accumulated heat in the heart meridian will lead to redness of the tongue tip, even ulcers and sores. If the baby has a heart fire, it will generally be accompanied by drooling, restless sleep, thirsty drinking, dry stool, short yellow urine, yellow fur and other manifestations. At this time, it is advisable to take Xiexin Daochi Powder, boil 50~100ml of water, and feed a small amount for many times. You can also use lotus seed heart to soak in water instead of tea, or take liquorice, honeysuckle, forsythia, mint, schizonepeta, and fried water to gargle.
"White stubble" at the corners of the mouth. If there is some "white stubble" on the baby's mouth, it is very similar to the persimmon frost on the persimmon, and it is also a manifestation of the baby's burning. Traditional Chinese medicine ascribes the mouth, cheek, palate, gums, corners of the mouth and other parts of a person to the spleen. If the spleen fire is strong, herpes will appear in these parts. If it is the spleen heat caused by exogenous wind heat, it generally has fever, red throat, red tongue, thin yellow fur, and floating pulse; If the spleen heat is caused by food stagnation, it will be accompanied by bad breath, drooling, short and yellow urine, constipation, etc. Here are two therapeutic recipes: 1. Gypsum porridge. Gypsum, japonica rice, boiled with water until the rice is rotten, twice a day, 30~60ml orally each time. 2. Bamboo leaf rehmannia porridge. Boil light bamboo leaves and raw Rehmannia glutinosa in medium heat for 30 minutes, remove the dregs, and put in japonica rice to boil until the soup is thick. Take orally 1-2 times a day.
Stool is dry and hard. If the stool is hard, difficult to pass, or even crying, it means that the baby is constipated. Although there are many reasons for baby constipation, the most common reason is fire. Gastrointestinal heat is a common syndrome type, accompanied by yellow urine, dry mouth, dry tongue, abdominal distension, bad breath, red tongue, yellow fur and other manifestations. If you find your child is constipated, don't rush to take medicine first, but try the methods of infantile massage and dietotherapy. Children's massage includes clearing the large intestine, expelling the six fu organs, rubbing the abdomen, pushing down seven bones, rubbing the turtle's tail, etc; Bananas and honey should be used more for dietotherapy, and bananas should be cooked.
The palms are hot and sweaty. Under normal circumstances, the baby's palm should be cool and damp. If the baby's palms are hot and sweaty, the reason is mostly due to internal heat due to yin deficiency, which is often manifested as fever of the palms and feet, emaciation of the body, mental fatigue, dry mouth, red cheekbones, night sweats, frequent urination, constipation, etc. Such babies are usually weak and can't eat food with cold nature. In terms of conditioning, you can use single herbs such as raw ground, ophiopogon japonicus, polygonatum odoratum and tremella fuciformis to drink in water, or you can eat porridge with japonica rice twice a day for 3-5 days. In addition, we should eat less chocolate and other high calorie foods, drink more water and milk, eat bean products, fruits and vegetables and coarse grains, and increase the supply of cellulose, vitamin C and B vitamins. ▲
