Parents often bring their children to me and ask, "Why is my child not tall?" ”；“ 15 years old, can it be any longer? ”；“ Is there a way for TCM to make children grow taller? ”...... The above questions make parents wonder. So, what exactly determines height? What can be done so that children can seize the best period for growing taller? The following is an analysis of how children grow taller from the perspective of Chinese medicine.
From the analysis of Chinese medicine, what is the relationship between growing taller?
Obviously, the main bone of the kidney, the main growth and development of the kidney. Height is very closely related to kidneys. Obviously, children can grow taller from kidney essence, which is innate essence and determines a person's growth and development ability. The more adequate the kidney essence, the more normal the growth and development. Conversely, or insufficient kidney sperm, or excessive drainage of kidney sperm, it may lead to abnormal height. Or short or excessively tall.
From life, we can observe that people whose parents are tall will also have tall children; And people whose parents are short, children tend to be short. Why? Because what is hidden in the kidney is innate essence, kidney essence determines a person's height.
So, if the parents are not tall, the child must not grow tall? Not necessarily, of course. My view is that height is not only related to the kidney, but also related to the spleen, heart and liver.
Height is mainly determined by the kidney, that is, the growth of the human body depends on the filling and filling of the kidney essence, because the main bone of the kidney produces pulp and promotes growth. If the congenital fetus is cowardly, the kidney is deficient, the bone marrow is biochemically lacking, the kidney qi is weak, and the bone growth is slow, the body is short.
How to have the most adequate congenital kidney essence, if the acquired loss of nourishment, it will also affect the height. The spleen is the foundation of the acquired, the source of qi and blood biochemistry, and height is also related to the spleen. As far as children are concerned, the nutrients needed for their growth and development depend on the subtle absorption and transportation of the spleen water valley and the supply of qi and blood. If the acquired diet is out of joint, or due to the influence of disease, the source of spleen is low, the movement is abnormal, the qi and blood are insufficient, and the five internal organs are denourished, the growth and development will be slow.
In addition to being related to the innate kidney and acquired spleen, height is also related to the liver. If the liver blood is deficient and the muscles and bones are lost, it can also lead to slow growth and short stature.
Moreover, height is also related to the heart. Because of the main blood vein of the heart, if the heart blood is insufficient, the cerebral pulp is infilled, and the heart is not reluctant, the night sleep will affect the child's yang qi circle movement, and then affect the child's growth and development.
From a clinical point of view, children do not grow tall, or grow and develop slowly, and often have different pathogenesis of kidney deficiency, spleen deficiency, liver blood deficiency, and heart blood deficiency. Among them, kidney deficiency is different from kidney yin deficiency and kidney qi deficiency; Spleen deficiency mainly refers to insufficient spleen luck; Liver blood deficiency refers to the loss of muscles and bones; Lack of blood refers to the loss of nourishment and restlessness at night.
Traditional Chinese medicine generally adopts Chinese medicine to be taken internally, made into Chinese medicine granules, and the method of external adjustment of Chinese medicine to make Chinese medicine patches, to achieve the effect of Chinese medicine conditioning, and is also more suitable for children who cannot bear hardship.
