Infantile accumulation

The so-called accumulation of food is to eat too much of a certain kind of food, beyond the acceptable scope of the child's spleen and stomach, leading to the low function of the spleen and stomach, which is called accumulation of food in traditional Chinese medicine.

This needs to tell you about the spleen first. In fact, the spleen of traditional Chinese medicine is not the same as that of Western medicine. The spleen of Western medicine is an organ of the immune system and participates in the production of lymphocytes. In fact, the spleen of traditional Chinese medicine includes the spleen and pancreas of Western medicine, but its function is far greater than that. It also includes the absorption of nutrients in food, blood production, blood collection, water collection and so on. Among them, an important duty: the spleen of traditional Chinese medicine is responsible for transporting food.

What is transported food? It's to absorb these valleys and transport them all over the body. This kind of transportation has two aspects.

According to TCM, food enters the body through three links: elimination, transformation and transportation.

Food enters the stomach first. What does the stomach do? The stomach is tube acceptance, we eat, the stomach is responsible for acceptance, the stomach is like a transceiver room. The stomach receives all the food, and after receiving, it makes a preliminary treatment. It turns the whole food into easy-to-decompose pieces, and decomposes the food. It is no longer a piece of tofu, no longer a green vegetable, but a minced thing. It's what we usually call "digestion" and "elimination". At this time the food was still food, but it was split up.

Next it's the spleen's turn to work. What's the spleen for? The spleen needs to melt the food first. Food itself is not something that our body can absorb. For example, Chinese cabbage can not be absorbed directly. But our spleen can "melt" it into something we can absorb. This process is called "melting", which is the function of the spleen. So you can see that the word "digestion" we usually refer to actually contains two meanings, different, "elimination" is grinding, splitting, material or the original one; "transformation" is to turn it into something that can be absorbed, what kind of thing to turn it into?

Why is it called "spleen governs transportation"? Because after "transformation", there is "luck". When the spleen converts food into absorbable substances, the spleen is also responsible for delivering it to all parts of the body. Among them, food into some good things called subtle substances, which light substances go up, up to the heart and lungs, become the source of Qi and blood metaplasia; on the other hand, it is transported to the whole body, nourishing limbs and bones. Some of the heavily turbid substances go down, and the dregs are discharged from the body.

As for children's spleen and stomach, one problem is easy to appear, that is, children are particularly easy to accumulate food, which is the characteristics of children. We say we can't give our children too much food. Now most of our children's spleen and stomach are too weak. We have given him a lot of delicious food and piled it in, and it's blocked. For example, many of those cream cakes are made of trans fats. If you eat them in large quantities, it's easy to get sick. So parents always tell me that yesterday's children had a birthday party, and then half of the remaining cakes were eaten by her children. Then today's asthma began.

Therefore, children who accumulate food are particularly numerous. So what is accumulated food? Accumulated food refers to the sudden overconsumption of certain foods by children, which exceeds the ability of the spleen and stomach to function, resulting in the weakening of the spleen and stomach function.

For example, to describe what is food accumulation, if we open all the files in the computer, we can open several at the same time. When we let more than a thousand programs run at the same time, the computer will crash. This kind of crash is the same as food accumulation. The food we eat every day is varied, moderate and no problem. When we eat the same kind of food and eat too much, it goes beyond our spleen's ability to function. As a result, the spleen "crashes". This is accumulating food, also known as accumulating food.

Accumulated food can also be roughly categorized. Some children do not want to eat anything and have no appetite, which is often accumulated in the stomach more, because the stomach can not accept it; some children are especially able to eat, but still very thin, which often accumulates in the spleen more, the spleen is unable to move, the body has no nutrition, so send out a help message, report the commander said that more food is needed, so the commander The Ministry issued instructions to eat more, so the child began to eat fiercely, but the more he ate, the weaker his spleen was, and eventually all of them spilled out.

Accumulated food can also be divided into cold and heat, if the child's body is biased towards Yin deficiency, then after the accumulation of food, the accumulation of heat is easy to turn into heat, leading to damp and heat stagnation; if the child's body Yang deficiency, then the accumulation of food is easy to injure the spleen and yang, resulting in the lack of yang, cold limbs, such a situation is generally more serious, and even affect the development of children.

Accumulated food can also be divided into tangible and intangible. Some food is still accumulated, which is often just eaten, is an emergency, such as children eat too much of the cream cake they like, eat half of it, and catch a cold the next day. At this time, the tangible accumulated food is still there, which is tangible, at this time only need to clear up the accumulated food; another is intangible, which is often chronic, that is, eating too much of a certain kind of food, harmful. By the time the function of the spleen and stomach is functioning, there may not be much specific food, which is called the accumulation of spleen deficiency, and some tangible substances. Sometimes the accumulation of food has already disappeared, but the spleen and stomach still can not function properly. This kind of child's lack of positive Qi often leads to repeated exogenous feelings, which is the "intangible accumulation". If not adjusted in time, it will gradually become "scabies", the so-called "scabies" is due to improper feeding or chronic illness caused by serious nutritional disorders.

The answer is: not necessarily!

Accumulated food is divided into two stages. When it just accumulates food, I describe this situation. It is accumulated in the stomach, and there is too much food. For example, the child has just eaten chicken legs several times, and has eaten red-roasted spareribs, which results in eating too much. At this time, there will be an acute accumulation of food. At this time, the child's stomach will swell and full, the child's appetite will drop, and stool will come out. Now the smell of stinky eggs, there will be a stink in the mouth, tongue coating will become thick and greasy.

Because at this time the spleen and stomach injuries, but also lead to other parts of the body problems, such as the respiratory system.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach belong to the earth, the lung belongs to the metal, and the native gold. Therefore, the spleen and stomach are the mother of the lung. In fact, this is a simple way for the ancients to tell such a truth: the spleen and stomach injured will lead to respiratory disorders.

Therefore, children in such a state, especially vulnerable to exogenous feelings, exogenous pathogens are easy to invade.

For example, children with exogenous fever, pediatrics in traditional Chinese medicine will generally look at children's tongue coating, if the tongue coating is thick and greasy, will immediately use Chinese medicine such as Jiao Sanxian, which can dissipate food and guide stagnation, and then the child's body will immediately recover.

Children who accumulate food begin to get thicker in the middle of their tongue coat, some of them are all thicker, some of them are only in the middle of their tongue, and a coin-like circle appears, which indicates that children may have accumulated food.

At the same time, the child's mouth began to smell, some parents will be sensitive to the odor in the child's mouth, this is because the stomach does not drop, resulting in bad taste in the mouth, some children will belch, back out of the sour taste, serious vomiting. This is accumulated food. Some children, will also appear the smell of excrement particularly stinky, there will be sour taste, the ancients described as "stinky as ovum", which is also one of the symptoms.

At this time, for tangible accumulated food, we can find Chinese medicine conditioning, if you do not remove it, this thing left in it can become a major problem. The child may have a high fever and can't get rid of it. It's all caused by this.

Sometimes, the child fever, how to use antipyretic drugs are ineffective, to traditional Chinese medicine there, prescribe some anti-feeding drugs, very dull Jiao Sanxian or something, the result is immediate, the child's fever immediately faded, experienced doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, when looking at the child's illness, always want to observe whether the child has accumulated food, because this is often caused by other pathological changes of the child. Important factors.

For that kind of accumulation of spleen deficiency or simply invisible product, this situation is generally relatively complex, we can not solve it ourselves at home, I hope you find the nearby Chinese medicine, help to analyze, and then open a prescription for conditioning.

If the child's accumulated food has become more serious, with the difference between cold and heat, or to enter the invisible accumulation of the situation, it is necessary to find a doctor to deal with it. Generally, on the basis of eliminating food stagnation, we need to add some drugs to nourish the spleen and stomach, so as to help the child recover.

Some parents said that my children always accumulate food. After dieting, they had problems again in two days. This is too headache! 

At this time, the tangible food that may be stagnated is no longer there, but the damage is still there, the damage of spleen and stomach function caused by that time has not been restored.

Some parents asked me: Why do they give their children porridge at every meal and dare not eat anything, but the children still accumulate food? The reason is that this is the kind of intangible accumulation of food, in fact, the children's spleen and stomach are dragged by some kind of food function is abnormal, so far has not been restored.

So why? The reason is: the child's spleen and stomach function is not yet complete, such as two months of infants, you can not give him roast meat, why? This is the characteristic of the child's spleen and stomach. Its acceptance ability is limited. It has its own growth characteristics and is gradual. In childhood, if we ignore the physiological characteristics of children and give them a fat meal, their spleen and stomach will be damaged if the workload is still very heavy after the full load of busy work.

At this time, there will also be the performance of accumulated food, I call this intangible accumulated food, in fact, it is injured the spleen. At this time, even if the children drink porridge every day, they still have thick tongue coating and accumulated food.

This situation, often more difficult, most parents do not feed according to the physiological characteristics of children, long-term children to eat all kinds of fat and sweet taste, resulting in a child's spleen and stomach injuries, and ultimately the accumulation is difficult to return.

This is not simply to eat Jiao San Xian can be solved.

At this time, children tend to be thin, yellow hair thin, even belly swelling, limbs are thin, poor appetite, or especially can eat but not absorb, easy to diarrhea, taste, tongue coating thick, accumulated food state appears repeatedly.

Because the spleen and stomach are weak, so the child's resistance is weak, easy to feel exogenous, easy to cough lingering and other problems. It can be said that the problem of accumulated food is very strange. The special physical problems of children I have seen are not easy to deal with. They often find their roots here.

So how to adjust at this time? Teacher Ye Huiyang suggested that we find Taiwan's traditional soft manipulation global chains to do Taiwan's whole stomach manipulation. Taiwan's traditional soft manipulation: 1, safety 2, no invasion, no skin breakage 3, in place, to ensure effective.

Diagnosis is a complicated process, which requires four-in-one consultation. Please do not send consultation information in Wechat for fear of delaying the patient's condition, and also invite you to see a doctor in time in the local area. In addition, the prescription should not be taken at will, must be used under the guidance of the doctor. Thank you!
