There are so many manifestations in children with spleen deficiency:
1. Disliking eating
Spleen and stomach are organs for digesting food. If there is spleen deficiency, they are unable to transport food, so children always don't want to eat and have a bad appetite. There are many reasons for this, for example, frequent food accumulation will lead to spleen deficiency, which in turn will aggravate food accumulation; In addition, frequent use of some drugs, such as antibiotics, can also lead to spleen and stomach injuries and spleen deficiency. In layman's terms, it is antibiotics that kill the beneficial bacteria in the intestine, causing problems in the digestion and absorption of food. Now there are many such children. Therefore, when children often have no appetite, don't want to eat food, and their stomachs swell when they eat it, we should consider whether they have spleen deficiency.
2. Constipation or diarrhea
Children with spleen deficiency are unable to transport fluid and have insufficient temper, which will lead to constipation, especially for children with spleen yin deficiency. Because toxins accumulate in the body, they are unable to be excreted and absorbed repeatedly, so such children often have many physical problems. Spleen deficiency can also cause children's diarrhea. This is because spleen deficiency is unable to transport food, so some children will pull it as soon as they eat it. Moreover, there will often be digested food in their stools. This is because spleen deficiency can't decompose food. The ancients called this "complete grain failure". Such children must have poor absorption function, so there will be nutritional disorders.
3. Poor physique makes you easy to catch a cold
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen belongs to soil, and the lung belongs to gold, which means that only when the spleen and stomach function normally and can absorb nutrients can the lung's anti-evil ability be guaranteed. Therefore, parents often ask me, "Why does my child always catch a cold?" I will repeatedly answer this question: "Everyone must learn more about Chinese medicine. Such children need to tonify their spleen and make them healthy enough to stop catching colds often." It is estimated that I will continue to talk about this truth. I hope parents and friends must have a long-term vision, not just asking for a cold prescription, but solving the fundamental problem.
4. Being smaller than peers
For children, because of insufficient nutrition, children will be shorter than their peers. I have seen many such children, some of whom are shorter than the shortest classmates in the class. Such children are often caused by insufficient nutrition, and parents seem to know this problem, so they try their best to cook all kinds of delicious food for their children and eat more for them. This is because I don't understand the truth of traditional Chinese medicine. The child's spleen and stomach are already weak and unable to transport food. The more you eat, the less able you are to transport food. As a result, it piles up together, leading to food accumulation and then spleen deficiency. Therefore, at this time, we should first tonify the spleen and stomach to make it strong, and then eat food to absorb the nutrition.
5. The body is full of moisture, and phlegm-dampness is heavy
Chinese medicine believes that all kinds of dampness are swollen and belong to the spleen. If a child has spleen deficiency, the nutrients he eats cannot be absorbed, and the waste cannot be discharged, it is very easy to accumulate in the body, forming phlegm-dampness. Therefore, such a child will form a puffy state and look fat, but when he exercises, he will gasp and sweat all over. Such a child will grow and develop. Moreover, children with heavy moisture are prone to eczema and other skin problems, which is also an important problem that puzzles parents. In fact, fundamentally, it is closely related to spleen deficiency.
6. Cough can't be cured
When the spleen and stomach are weak and the spleen soil is insufficient, there will naturally be problems with lung gold, so the disease resistance of the lungs will decline. Such children often start coughing as soon as the cold wind blows, and they are more likely to catch a cold. When the cold is over, the cough is often lingering. Some children can even cough for two or three months. At this time, parents are often particularly anxious and try their best to give them all kinds of so-called "cough-relieving" drugs. However, we should know that spleen deficiency is fundamental, so at this time, we should tonify the spleen and stomach and increase lung qi.
7. Temper is big, and personality is easy to change
Chinese medicine believes that the liver belongs to wood and the spleen belongs to soil, and the liver governs the catharsis, which is related to emotions. If something goes wrong with the liver wood, it will affect the spleen soil. Conversely, when the spleen soil is weak, the liver wood is also prone to problems, which is called "soil deficiency leads to wood shaking". Now, we see that there are many problems in emotional relief caused by spleen deficiency, and even many children with TIC disorder have greatly improved their condition after conditioning their spleen and stomach.
8. Sweating after a little exercise, night sweats
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that qi has the function of fixing body fluids, while spleen-qi deficiency and lung-qi deficiency can not fix body fluids, so if you move a little, you will sweat. Nowadays, many children are born by caesarean section. At the time of birth, the lungs are missing an important part of exercise without being squeezed by the delivery opening, so caesarean section is adopted. In addition, children with insufficient spleen and yin tend to sweat when they sleep at night, which is called night sweats.
9. Love to drool and show your eyes when sleeping
Chinese medicine says that "the spleen is salivating in fluid", and children with spleen deficiency are prone to "salivating" and often drool. Especially when sleeping, it is easy to drool.
At the same time, if children are sleeping, their eyes are always closed loosely and half-open, which is also a manifestation of spleen deficiency. Qian Yi, the founder of pediatrics of traditional Chinese medicine and a famous doctor in the Song Dynasty, said that this is called "sleeping to expose the eyes", mainly because the spleen corresponds to the eyelids.
11, sallow and emaciated, weak limbs
Chinese medicine believes that spleen governs meat and limbs, so children with spleen deficiency will have weak limbs. At the same time, the color of the spleen is yellow. If the spleen is deficient, the earth color will spread over the body surface. Therefore, children with severe spleen deficiency have sallow and dull faces. We Asians have yellow skin, but it is faint red and yellow, which should not be withered yellow. Therefore, once parents see such children, they should consider whether to supplement the spleen.
