Frequent urination, bedwetting, cold hands and feet, check if your child has insufficient middle and lower jiao

A story

I have only had intravenous drips once since I was a child, because my mother was scared by the doctor. At that time, I was fifteen years old and had just graduated from junior high school. My tonsils were old and purulent, which means that although I was not strong enough to prevent the invasion of foreign enemies when I was a child, my yang energy was still enough to react after the enemy sneaked in. At that time, tonsillectomy was popular. The doctor told my mother that frequent tonsillitis would affect the heart and kidneys, and that I needed intravenous drips for two weeks, and it would be best to have them removed.

I have been sensitive since I was a child, and the feeling of infusion will be unforgettable. My father accompanied me to the infusion, and we had to take a two-hour bus ride to the county town to get the infusion. After the infusion, I felt that my body was like a monster in a cartoon, as if it was locked inside and covered with water. Later, I understood from studying "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" that it was called water-vapor disease. Originally, there was only one local problem, and it would be over if it was defeated. After the infusion, the whole body was filled with water, which could not be dissolved for a while.

Two principles

If it is a simple cold, a simple minor illness, or the beginning of any illness, master two principles.

First, check whether the middle and lower jiao are weak. If they are weak, strengthen them, or use the method of supplementation or circulation, depending on the situation; if they are not weak, don't eat randomly, don't eat too much, and eat simpler. For the lower jiao, for children, don't watch TV, use the computer, and don't stay up late. You can go out to play, but don't play too hard. For adults, you should also pay attention to not worrying too much, not being tired, and not having too much sex, etc.

When I was a sophomore in college, I felt that I had yin deficiency and kidney deficiency after playing table tennis for a whole day. I went to fight for a position to play at around 6 o'clock in the morning. They came up one by one, and I beat them all down... I played until 6 or 7 o'clock in the evening. In the end, my eyes could not see clearly, but I could still play by instinct. After playing, I went home and felt hot all over, with a dry fever. Yin deficiency also hurt the kidneys.

Second, when both the middle and lower parts of the body are in good condition, it doesn't matter if you have a cold, inflammation, or allergies. The body will automatically handle all the problems. Why? Because there is a continuous supply of energy.

Being happy is also important. If you scold him, "You are such a disobedient child. I told you not to eat ice cream yesterday, and now look at you." Once he is unhappy, his qi and meridians will be blocked and it will be difficult to recover from the illness.

Two things

When the body is in a reactive state, it only needs to do two things.

First, when the reaction is not strong and the patient is listless, do not disturb him and let him sleep. If his life is not in danger, do not rush to the hospital. Give the body some time to adjust. At this time, you need to sleep well and conserve your energy. The body is recovering automatically. If you rush to take a taxi, register, queue up for blood draw, transfusion, and B-ultrasound, the patient will get worse even though he is almost recovered. Why? Because the energy used to repair the body is wasted. Many children and the elderly are injured in this way.

If it is a simple minor illness and the middle and lower parts of the body are not weak, it doesn't matter if he looks a little listless. His Qi is closing. Let him sleep for a while. Don't let him eat if he doesn't want to. Don't force him to eat. Then, before he has had enough sleep, wake him up again to take medicine, soak his feet, or get a massage... This is interfering with his body's automatic recovery rhythm, and it is also a hassle. You need to cultivate patience and learn to observe.

Second, if the reaction is strong, control the reaction and do not let the battlefield be too destructive. If the reaction is too strong, it needs to be controlled, but do not rush to eliminate the symptoms. Overly strong suppressive treatment will harm the child's constitution. We will talk about this in detail later.

When we say that the middle and lower Jiao are insufficient, one refers to insufficient function, which has not yet reached the point of weakness. The normal state is fine, but it only appears when you are sick. One is weakness, such as frequent diarrhea, weak muscles, and weak Qi. Another is caused by eating too much and food accumulation, which should be ruled out.

For children who urinate frequently, wet the bed, or have cold hands and feet, you can try simple methods to adjust them yourself. For example, rub your hands to warm them up and rub them on the child's lower back once a day, or use moxa sticks to moxibustion the child's Mingmen and Shenshu points, and then see if the interval between the next attacks will be longer, if the recovery will be faster, and if the severity will be improved. This is the same as dietary adjustment, and parents need to explore it themselves.

Simple treatments for children with frequent urination, bedwetting or cold hands and feet:

■ After rubbing your hands warm, gently rub the child's lower back once a day. This is the most gentle way to nourish the body, especially suitable for the elderly and children with weak constitutions.

■ Use moxa sticks to moxibustion the Mingmen and Shenshu points. Moxa sticks are warm in nature and are especially suitable for children with weak and cold constitutions.

■ Increase the amount of time your child spends doing outdoor sports. Appropriate exercise can open up tiny channels throughout the body, which is equivalent to expanding the body's energy storage. It is good for the conditioning of the upper, middle and lower three energizers.

Respect your body’s rhythm

After taking antibiotics, the movement of Qi in the middle jiao and the whole body will be severely blocked, and it will take a long time to recover. Therefore, children with poor digestive function must be cautious when using antibiotics, and be more careful when giving intravenous infusions.

When seeing a doctor, you should not expect quick results. You should consider the person's physical condition. A weaker person is like someone who can't run fast. If you force him to run fast, it may backfire. If a child has a high fever, a sore throat, or a high white blood cell count, what should parents do?

Remember, as long as it is a simple cold or disease, it doesn't matter whether you see a Chinese doctor or a Western doctor. It will be effective if you see a Chinese doctor. If the white blood cell count is high and there is indeed a bacterial infection, you can take antibiotics, but antibiotics will leave a problem. From the perspective of Western medicine, while it kills bacteria, the good probiotics in the body are almost wiped out, and the microecological environment in the body will be disrupted. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, the normal operation of the Qi is seriously affected, and the power that allows the pendulum to swing normally is destroyed.
