"Internal heat" is the root cause of many common diseases in children

"Internal heat" is the root cause of many common diseases in children, especially many diseases that are repeated and repeated, most of which are caused by "internal heat". The "Outline of Juvenile Science" says: "Swaddling children, the body is pure yang, the most suffering from fever"; "Xuanming Fang Theory" records: "Probably the pure yang of the pediatric patients, the heat is more cold and less also". This means that once a child is ill, the disease is easy to become hot, and the clinical pediatric fever has the most. Chinese medicine theory believes that children, especially infants and young children, are "pure yang bodies", with vigorous vitality, just like the rising sun, grass and trees, thriving. Where does what we usually call "internal heat" come from, and what are the manifestations of "internal heat" in children?

Children's spleen is often insufficient, various reasons are easy to affect the normal function of the spleen and stomach, coupled with the fact that children now like to eat greasy, sweet and other foods, very difficult to digest, resulting in stagnation, containing heat. This condition is mostly manifested as bloating, anorexia, hot hands and siblings, irritability, easy to wake up at night, sweating and night sweats, good flipping, pedaling, and foul stools.

Children's lungs are often insufficient, and the aftermath of fever is not clear, and the internal heat is long contained in the lungs. Once the external evil invades, the new feeling is easy to occur, and the evil is left inside, and it is easy to appear recurrent respiratory tract infections, tonsillitis, pneumonia and other respiratory diseases.

Children often have more than enough heart, strong heart, insufficient kidney yin, heart fire is easy to inflammatory, prone to oral problems, such as mouth ulcers at every turn, repeated infection with herpetic stomatitis, etc.; fiery evil is easy to disturb the heart, and children with a strong heart will also have symptoms such as upset and irritability, mania and hyperactivity.

Children's liver is often surplus, open to the eye, resulting in children with a lot of eye feces, or the appearance of acute conjunctivitis symptoms such as eye redness and swelling. At the same time, the liver has the function of raising hair and relieving the whole body qi machine, and children with hyper-liver and yang also have the performance of impatience and easy anger.

It can be seen that there are many hidden dangers of "internal heat" in children, so it is recommended that parents usually do a good job of preventive health care for their children.

Diet should be "strict" drink more warm water to promote the excretion of heat and evil with urine. Children's diet should be regular and quantitative, can not be too hungry and full, should not eat raw and cold, fatty glycerin and greasy products, should choose easy to digest and nutritious food, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, correct partial food, eat snacks and other bad habits. Usually, you can also rub your child's belly more: the abdomen is clockwise, which can speed up the gastrointestinal peristalsis and facilitate the discharge of stool.

Wear less while covering three places As the saying goes, "if you want to get a child's safety, three points of hunger and cold", do not wear too much for your child, and at the same time wear less, you should do "back warmth", "belly warmth" and "foot warmth" to protect the yang.

Daily observation of "six places" In daily life, pay attention to observing the child's stool (dry or foul and sticky stool), the color of the urine (yellow urine), the change of tongue and tongue (red tongue, yellow moss), the color of the lips (red lips), the change of breath (especially the obvious breath in the morning), the diet (such as appetite), etc., timely find out whether the child has internal heat, seek medical treatment in time, and adjust it under the doctor's identification.

Moderate consumption of "herbal tea" Due to different climatic conditions in various places, there are regional differences in the composition of drugs, such as children's seven-star tea in the south, and some areas like to use fresh reed root or chrysanthemum, peppermint and other tea substitutes. It should be reminded that herbal tea is best taken after consulting a doctor, do not look for home remedies or give the baby medicine yourself, so as not to hurt the spleen and stomach with cold drugs.
