What are the symptoms of kidney yin deficiency in children?

Kidney Yin deficiency not only occurs in adults, but also in children if they have poor eating or living habits. If a child has kidney yin deficiency, the color of his lips will be redder, he will have obvious bags under his eyes, and his stools will be unformed. Therefore, parents should pay more attention to such situations and keep abreast of their children's physical conditions.

(1) Children with Yin deficiency will have red lips and eye bags

If a child has insufficient spleen yin, his lips will be very red. Nowadays, there are quite a lot of children suffering from Yin deficiency. I think more than half of the children have Yin deficiency constitution, which is specifically manifested as insufficient spleen Yin.

What is the reason? Simply put, children's yin deficiency is caused by eating meat. The tongue is a reflection of the spleen and stomach functions. Insufficient spleen yin means that there is heat in the child's body, so the child's tongue and lips are also red. Because the spleen opens up at the mouth, its beauty is on the lips.

In addition, the child has big bags under his eyes. Why? The spleen corresponds to the lower eyelid. If the spleen yin is insufficient, the child's lower eye bags will often become swollen and red. Children with Yin deficiency will have dry or unformed stools, night sweats, and tossing and turning in bed at night. Children with Yin deficiency have a very good appetite, but their stomachs feel bloated after eating. This is a sign of a strong stomach and a weak spleen, and also a manifestation of insufficient spleen Yin.

(2) Children with Yin deficiency are active and prone to catching colds. When they catch a cold, their throats become swollen.

The spleen yin theory was founded by Miao Xiyong, a famous doctor in the Ming Dynasty. I have talked about the story of Miao Xiyong on the Hundred Schools Forum.

Nowadays, too many children eat a lot of delicious food every day, which results in insufficient spleen yin. When I encounter this kind of child, I often have a headache when treating him.

Children with insufficient spleen yin are often active because they have too much heat in their bodies and cannot control themselves. This type of child has another characteristic: he catches a cold when the wind blows, and he catches colds frequently. His throat swells when he catches a cold. Why? Because the spleen is injured and weak. Food is stagnant in the spleen, and the child is yin deficient, so heat is generated, and the heat goes back up. As a result, his throat swells when he catches a cold.

Therefore, if a child has a swollen throat when catching a cold, it can basically be judged that he has eaten too much meat. What to do? Eat less meat and more vegetables! Many parents are always worried that their children are not getting enough nutrition. In fact, children nowadays have too much nutrition. If you feed your children more vegetables and less meat, as long as you persist for more than half a year, their yin deficiency constitution will be improved.

(3) Children with Yin deficiency have poor patience

Yin deficiency constitution may even change a child's temperament, because children with Yin deficiency are impatient and often lack the patience to sit down, read, or persist in doing one thing, making it difficult for them to develop good habits. This change in temperament is the greatest harm to children. Therefore, I have always emphasized that parents should pay attention to their children's Yin deficiency constitution, but many parents still do not realize the seriousness of the problem.

How do some children develop a Yin deficiency constitution? It is caused by what they eat in kindergarten. Because parents are very concerned about the quality of the meals their children eat in kindergarten, various kinds of meat are added to the meals in kindergarten, such as chicken legs, duck meat, fish, shrimp, pork, etc. In fact, this kind of diet is problematic, but parents cannot ask the school to only give their children light food. So, this is a very contradictory question. But kindergartens should be aware that in today's diet, eating more meat is not a good thing. If you really want your child to be aristocrat, I think you should let him be aristocrat in terms of food and control his diet reasonably. The investment is worth it because you are what you eat, and your body is made up of the food you eat.
