Moxibustion for tic syndrome

Tourette syndrome is a relatively common disease in children in daily life. When a child suffers from this disease. Symptoms such as frequent blinking and glaring will appear. This disease will seriously affect the physical and mental health of children, and will also make parents anxious and worried. In my country's traditional Chinese medicine theory, it is believed that children suffering from Tourette syndrome can be treated with moxibustion to warm and unblock the meridians.

Moxibustion treatment:

Acupoints for treatment: Yintang, Baihui and other acupoints that invigorate the brain and soothe the mind, calm the nerves and benefit the will, Dazhui, Shenzhu and other Du meridian acupoints that can control the yang of the whole body; Acupoints: Neiguan and Shugou can relieve liver depression, dredge the Qi, regulate the opening and closing of the mind, and relevant acupoints can be added according to the symptoms. Blood stasis: add Xuehai to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis; Liver depression and fire transformation: add Taichong and Sanyinjiao to calm the liver and extinguish wind; Phlegm accumulation: add Fenglong and Yinlingquan to remove phlegm; Food stagnation: add Zusanli to strengthen the spleen and stomach, etc. These acupoints can be used for whole-body adjustments. You can also add Feishu, Shenque and Guanyuan to enhance the child's immune function.

At the same time, it should be noted that the quality of moxibustion on the market varies. Some moxa sticks are mixed with some magazines, which will have a certain impact on the efficacy. Therefore, parents must purchase moxa sticks at regular pharmacies. Generally, less smoke, stronger flavor and earthy yellow color are preferred.

1. Cupping therapy: During the three days of rest, cupping can be performed every day and can be performed for 3-5 consecutive days.

2. Help your child with massage, using moderate techniques, or the above-mentioned acupoints. While massaging your child, it is also the best time for mother and child or father and child to communicate and interact with each other. For some children with Tourette Syndrome and ADHD, it is basically directly related to the adjustment of their mentality. Parents are the first teachers of their children, and their every move directly affects their children's emotions and treatment. Therefore, treating a disease is not just a problem for the child alone, it is also the best opportunity for the whole family to cooperate with each other.
