In such cases, I think most of them are because of the lack of final treatment, this time the parents need to give the child to replenish the spleen.
First of all, you have to think about one question: Why is it that your child has a recurring cold while others play together and don't have a cold? The answer is that your child is probably suffering from a lack of positive energy, a weak spleen and stomach, which makes it easy for foreign evils to invade.
So, every time a child gets a cold, I recommend that the parents give the child a chance to regulate his or her spleen and stomach.
When a child is sick, parents can't always think of relying on heat-clearing and detoxifying medicines or outside forces to help the child. After the external evil is basically cleared, we need to strengthen the child's spleen and stomach, so that his positive qi grows up, which can not be invaded by all kinds of poison. Therefore, every time a child catches a cold, parents need to add a final stage of conditioning, which is to tonify the spleen. After the spleen and stomach are properly regulated, this child's body will be healthier and will not catch colds repeatedly or cough for a long time.
Because his spleen and stomach are weaker at this time, if you don't replenish the spleen, it's easy for external evils to attack again.
Wyoming yam to replenish the spleen recipeThere are many ways to replenish the spleen, and you can ask your neighborhood Chinese medicine practitioner to prescribe medicines to tonify the spleen and stomach. I am going to introduce here a method that I commonly use. I usually use dietary therapy to tonify the child's spleen and stomach, such as boiling water with Chinese yam for the child to drink, in my experience, Chinese yam is the best herb to tonify the spleen.
To wait until your child's cold has completely cleared up.
When your child's cold has completely cleared up, or if he or she is only a little bit nasal, or if he or she has a few coughs a day.
Wyoming yam boiled waterRecipe:
30g of dried wyoming yam
Method:
Simmer the water for 30 minutes can be, feel free to drink as water, which is 30g is the amount of wyoming yam water that the child drank in a day. These two days, whenever you drink water, you drink this yam water.
After the cold and flu to the child to drink 3 to 5 days Huai yam water can be, do not always drink!
Don't eat fresh yam, must be boiled with dry water , because drinking dry yam boiled out of the water is only the effect of spleen, no astringent effect. If you cut the fresh yam into slices, boiled water all ate, there is a solid astringent effect, will make the child dry, but because of the spleen and stomach disorder and diarrhea is more suitable for people. So there are children who eat freshly prepared yam, colds and coughs are completely well, but have difficulty in defecating, which is not true.
What if the child's stool dryness is serious? It is necessary to boil the yam water at the same time, put 6 grams of almonds into the boil together, almonds have the role of lung qi facilitation, in the drugstore can be bought. If the child does not like to drink, put some sugar can also be. But remember, drink it for a day or two. This one or two days, can the evil completely top out, the child's cough will immediately be good, this is the effect of tonifying the spleen.
Boil water with Chinese yam and Coix lacryma
Usage:
For children around 5 years old, you can use 9g of dried Chinese yam with 9g of Coix lacryma to boil water, and for children under 5 years old, you can use 6g of each, and then decrease downwards.
? This formula is more suitable when the child's tongue is thick and greasy. Give the child the boiled water to drink, and the dregs of the yam and coix seed can be eaten by an adult. The child will be able to drink it for about 3 days to replenish the spleen and stomach. Sometimes a little less lotus seed can be used, 6g of lotus seed is enough, it has the effect of tonifying the spleen and elevating Qing. In this formula, Coix Seed removes dampness and Chinese Yam tonifies the spleen, removing dampness while tonifying the spleen will be more peaceful.
The selection of Chinese yam and Job's tears is very critical, and now most parents will not choose, so how to choose?
First, when you go to the drugstore to buy the Chinese yam, don't buy the kind of snow-white, smooth. Be sure to buy the kind of dry, boxed or barrel boutique Huaiyao, its surface is lumpy, undulating, slightly yellow, this is not smoked with sulfur, the quality of the more reliable Huaiyao, I recommend that we use this. Secondly, Job's tears can be bought in the pharmacy, do not pick the head is particularly large, particularly beautiful, full, but to pick the more natural-looking.Reminder to parents: Huai yam with Coix lacryma can not drink for a long time, many parents think that this thing is good, I will give the child to drink every day, so that a drink on the drink for half a year, don't do this! Because this is the equivalent of driving a car with the gas blasting, you will step on the gas when you cross a hurdle, or go up a small hill, or overtake, but after the past, will you keep stepping on the gas? Will you keep going 160 mph or 180 mph? Blowing the gas pedal hard will only result in destroying the car. Therefore, we in the child's spleen deficiency to help him fill on the line, do not give the child every day, "blast the gas", if every day to supplement, the child's own function will be declined.
So, I have repeatedly emphasized with the parents, after the cold to give the child drink three or five days on the Wyoming mountain water, do not drink all the time, otherwise the child's own body does not work, will not be able to absorb the nutrients.
Previously, after I introduced you to the functions of Pat Chun Gao, I heard that some parents had given their children Pat Chun Gao for two years, which made me more worried. In fact, a simple tonic can be, the child is not sick, do not eat, so eat the consequences of bad, the child's spleen and stomach will be completely dependent on the effect of nourishment, you remove these supplements, the child's spleen and stomach function has been weakened, and immediately can not be.
Please parents must remember my words.
