Question
My child was born via cesarean section, and she has always had a weak constitution. She often feels nausea and vomiting, but her diet is normal and she hasn’t caught a cold. It’s just that she’s more prone to nausea and vomiting. I took her to a family acupuncturist, who prescribed some traditional Chinese medicine for opsonize. If the child has nausea and vomiting, acupuncture can help relieve it. I’m interested in knowing how to help: What are the acupuncture techniques for pediatric abdominal diarrhea?
Answer
In traditional Chinese massage, pushing the seven-joint bone is a primary method for treating intestinal disorders, and it is very helpful for treating children with abdominal diarrhea and dysentery. The specific operation is to have the child lie on their stomach, with the child’s coccyx as the starting point, moving up one or one and a half inches to reach the seven-joint bone. Then, spread your hands out, with four fingers fixed on each side of the lumbar spine, and use your thumbs to perform acupuncture on the seven-joint bone.
