In the past half month, many parents have left me messages:
After the child has recovered from pneumonia, he always looks at the wilting child and does not want to move, his appetite is not as good as before, and his resistance is getting worse and worse, and he is afraid of sneezing, is he getting the flu again?
I said that in fact, this is a child who is not "thorough".
Why?
Do you think, after the attack of the virus, the children's bodies are like the "battlefield" that has just been fought, and there are many places that need to be repaired.
Of course, even if you take supplements, you can also distinguish the situation, children's physique is different, and it is easy to make up for mistakes that are self-defeating.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, tonic is divided into flat supplement, warm tonic and clear supplement, which should be differentiated according to the child's constitution and food attributes.
Children who are very weak and unable to make up: suitable for flat supplements in winter, you can choose ingredients with relatively peaceful tastes such as yam and wolfberry;
Children who are afraid of cold and have cold hands and feet: winter is suitable for warm supplements, and you can choose warm ingredients such as walnuts and red dates;
Fatter and more easily angry children: Winter is suitable for clearing and replenishing, such as white radish, Chinese cabbage and other ingredients, which can also play a role in "tonifying".
Children's body weakness is divided into spleen-yang deficiency and spleen-yin deficiency, and the symptoms shown by children are different depending on the situation.
Children with spleen and yin deficiency
Symptoms:
Easily upset and irritable;
Sweat more at night;
often feel dry mouth;
Bags under the eyes are large and slightly red;
The tongue looks red, but the tongue coating is thin;
Feeling bloated after eating;
The stool is dry, and I always feel that there is a "fire" in my body.
Fangzi:
Yam, lotus seed meat, coix seed, wheat winter, sand cucumber, raw land
Method:
Put these herbs in a pot, add 4 cups of water, turn to low heat after boiling, boil for another half an hour, strain out when about two cups of water are left, add rock sugar, and let it cool to drink.
Efficacy:
Yam is often used in the medicinal materials for tonifying the spleen and stomach, its medicinal properties are relatively mild, and it can also nourish qi and nourish yin;
Lotus seed meat can tonify the spleen, can also clear heat and reduce fire, it is best to mash it when boiling to better exert its medicinal effect;
Don't think that children with spleen and yin deficiency look like they are on fire, and there is no dampness in the body, but in fact, yin deficiency has been depressed in the body for a long time, and when it is combined with spleen deficiency, it will produce dampness and heat.
The effect of coix seed to dispel dampness is very good, the combination of wheat and sea cucumber can not only nourish the stomach, but also clear heat, which is very suitable for children with spleen and yin deficiency.
Children with spleen and yang deficiency
Symptoms:
Children with insufficient spleen and yang look at them and are bored, and they don't want to say much;
pale white tongue in color;
It is easy to sweat when you move;
Prone to panting, unformed stools,
Feeling bloated after eating;
The body sometimes has symptoms of edema.
Fangzi:
Pseudostellaria ginseng, atractylodes, fried white lentils, seeds, poria cocos, yams, lotus seed meat, coix seeds
Method:
Add water to these raw materials and put them in a pot, simmer for more than 40 minutes, add a little sugar after boiling, the taste will be better, 2 times a day, 1 small cup each time.
Efficacy:
Atractylodes macrocephalus and Poria cocos are both to replenish the spleen and yang, but traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to generating yang from yin, so the recipe adds traditional Chinese medicine to replenish the spleen and yin, such as yam, coix seed, and white lentils.
Children with insufficient spleen and yang generally have heavier moisture, but the spleen belongs to the soil, and the soil hates moisture the most.
If our child has some of the above symptoms, it is best to find a professional doctor to prescribe it after syndrome differentiation, which is more targeted.
This is what I have repeatedly emphasized to parents, don't think that your child will be completely fine after being discharged from the hospital, and take care of your body more carefully than usual for at least a month.
Careful parents will also find that the final foothold of children's problems is in regulating the spleen and stomach, so as soon as possible, children can be healthier, and parents can worry less about snacks.
