Hello everyone, I am Ye Donglan, a pediatric TCM practitioner.
Before dog days, if your child's rhinitis always recurs, try giving ginger with something else.
On the one hand, it can replenish yang qi, on the other hand, it can drive away cold qi, and can make children no longer suffer from rhinitis all year round.
Why do children with rhinitis have to nourish yang qi?
Traditional Chinese medicine says "spring and summer yang", many parents don't understand, obviously the child has a lot of yang in summer, why do they need to raise yang?
This is because it is hot in summer, children are prone to sweating, and they always blow the air conditioner and eat cold drinks.
Sweating will inherently consume yang energy, and most children with rhinitis have yang deficiency physique, and cold drinks and cold wind will hurt yang energy.
If you are in an air-conditioned room for a long time and eat cold drinks uncontrollably, your child's yang energy will be consumed more.
As long as the following two points are done, in the outpatient clinic, many children who come to see rhinitis in the summer do the same, and the rhinitis does not recur throughout the year.
1. Reduce the consumption of yang energy.
Control the time of children's outdoor exercise, try to exercise in the morning, avoid the heat of the summer, so as not to sweat too much and damage the yang energy.
Give children less ice cream, cold drinks, and watermelon, especially children with white tongues and cold hands and feet.
When blowing the air conditioner, it is recommended to set the temperature between 26°C and 27°C, ventilate it almost every 3 hours, and try not to blow the air conditioner at night.
2. Replenish yang energy to the body.
From 9:00 am to 10:00 am, you can take your children to bask in the sun for 15 minutes.
You can also use the recipe of dietary therapy to condition your child, take 5 grams of astragalus, 3 slices of ginger, 1 apple, 6 red dates to boil water and drink, drink 2 times a week.
Astragalus can replenish qi and raise yang, making children's resistance stronger, and ginger can dispel cold and relieve the surface, which is very beneficial to rhinitis children who lack yang qi and always clear their noses.
Many parents say that after their children drink it for 2 weeks, the effect is better than that of spraying their nose with Western medicine before, and the symptoms of rhinitis have improved. Even if the air conditioner is turned on to 25 degrees, the child will no longer have a runny nose, and finally he will not have to endure the heat and keep having a runny nose. I can breathe normally through my nose when I sleep at night, and my concentration is slightly better during the day.
It should be noted that those children with yellow runny nose and red tongue and yellow tongue are not suitable, and such children should clear their lungs and clear their senses together.
There are many methods of traditional Chinese medicine, such as pediatric massage, taking traditional Chinese medicine, moxibustion, patching, etc., which can help children improve rhinitis.
