Summer is the season when everything grows, all creatures are thriving, and children are the same, but some children just can't grow up fast, and they look a head shorter than children of the same age.
There are 3 main types of children who tend to grow tall:
1. Spleen deficiency:
Eating hard, picky eater, unable to digest a little more, heavy breath, dry stool, skinny skin.
This is because the spleen and stomach function is poor, resulting in "can't eat". The focus of conditioning is to replenish the qi of the spleen and stomach, so that the spleen and stomach can be fully activated.
2. Diet stagnation, strong stomach and weak spleen:
I especially love to eat meat, fruits, and ice cream, and my palms and feet are old and sweaty, and I only grow meat but not growth.
This kind of child just eats too much, beyond the capacity of the spleen and stomach, the key to conditioning is to reduce the burden on the spleen and stomach, try to eat something light and warm.

3. Kidney Qi deficiency:
The child may be born prematurely or born with a weak constitution, easy to wake up from sleep, afraid of the dark, more introverted, and cold hands and feet.
The key to this kind of child is to replenish kidney yang and nourish kidney qi.
If you want your child to grow taller smoothly, we can start from the two aspects of dredging the meridians and activating qi and blood, massaging acupoints is a good choice, which can increase the operation of the meridians and the nutrition of the child's qi and blood, promote metabolism, and help bone development.
Here are 3 growth "switches" hidden in children's bodies.
3 "switches" for growing tall
1. Body pillar acupoint - the handle that boosts the acupoint
Function: "Body pillar" is the pillar of the body, the body pillar points through the Du pulse, can tonify the kidneys and strengthen the waist and back, enhance lung qi, and enhance resistance.
Location: It is located under the spinous process of the third thoracic vertebra in the human body.
2. Yinling Spring - a master of strengthening the spleen and dispelling dampness
Function: Yinling Spring is a meridian acupoint of the spleen, which has a good transport effect on the moisture produced by the poor transport of the spleen and stomach.
Specific location: Located on the inside of the lower leg of the human body, in the medial depression of the tibia below the knee. You can knead the left and right feet for about 3 minutes each.
3. Kidney Yu acupoint - the key point for regulating and replenishing kidney qi
Function: It can discharge the cold and damp water qi from the kidneys and regulate the kidney qi.
Specific location: Located under the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebra, 1.5 inches on the left and right sides of the midline, and knead for about 3 minutes each.
It is not an overnight thing for children to grow taller, and for those children with severe spleen and stomach weakness, it is not realistic to grow taller by rubbing acupuncture points alone.
I used to see a 5-year-old boy whose main problems were spleen and kidney deficiency and lack of yang qi. Although he has a good appetite, he just doesn't grow meat, he eats calcium, zinc, and vitamin D, but he doesn't absorb it, his stool is not formed, his hands and feet are cold, and he is easily tired.
In response to the child's condition, I prescribed him a prescription to warm the yang and strengthen the spleen, calm the nerves and help him sleep, and cooperate with the kneading of acupuncture points.
After two weeks, his stool was formed, his sleep quality improved, his food accumulation symptoms were relieved, he began to grow meat, and his height increased by 2.9 cm in 3 months.
For children with short stature and spleen deficiency, parents must adjust in time, because the child has only one chance to grow taller, and when the epiphyseal line is closed, nothing can be used.
