Question
My two-month-old baby has been suffering from diarrhea for the past few days, and sometimes there are things in the stool that resemble tofus and sticky strings. I’ve heard that eating whole Shengsheng can help. Is this method effective?
Answer
You can try the umbilical therapy. The herbal formula consists of 80 grams of Wu Zhu Yu, 70 grams of Cang Zhu, 30 grams each of Rou Gui and Kufan, and 20 grams of Bai Lu He. Grind these herbs into fine powder, take 5 to 7 grams each time, mix with an appropriate amount of aged vinegar to form a paste, apply it to the baby’s navel, and secure it with a hurt sore pain relief patch. Change the medicine once a day, and one course of treatment is 5 times. This method is very effective for treating simple diarrhea; after 1 to 2 courses of treatment, the efficacy can reach 98.8%. Additionally, you can also try acupoint medicine patch therapy by grinding 15 grams each of Cang Zhu and Wu Zhu Yu, 3 grams of Ding Xiang, and 1 gram of Peppercorn into fine powder, mix with sesame oil, and apply it to the Shenque point. Change the patch once a day.
