Question
How to perform a massage for adenoid hypertrophy?
Answer
Place the child in a supine position on the bed, with their head near the edge. 1. Use the pads of your index fingers to start from the Yintang point, alternately stroke along the median line of the forehead to the tip of the anterior hairline, 36 times. 2. Begin from the Yintang point again, stroke along the upper edge of the eyebrows towards both sides, stopping at the Sun Xue , 36 times. 3. Starting from the Yintang point, push downwards along both sides of the nose, 72 times. 4. Gently rub the child’s nostrils with your index finger pads while having them breathe through their nose. 5. Starting from the Yintang point, push downwards along both sides of the nose groove, 72 times. 6. Press and rub the Yintang, Sun, and Yingxiang points for 2 minutes each. 7. Press and rub the tonsils under the neck for 2 minutes. Have the child lie on their stomach. 8. Use your index, middle, and ring fingers to stroke down the spine from top to bottom, 40-50 times. 9. After finishing the massage, drink a cup of warm water. 10. If your child snores at night while sleeping, try rubbing the tonsils under their neck with your hand to see if it can help them breathe more freely. Precautions: 1. Keep your fingernails short to avoid scratching the child’s skin. 2. Apply massage oil or glycerin on your fingers during treatment to prevent skin irritation. 3. Focus your pressure on the point where your fingers meet the skin, allowing the force to penetrate into the body. 4. Consistency is key; do not rush the process.
