How to massage acupoints to make children grow taller

Everyone knows that a family attaches great importance to the growth of a child. After all, every parent hopes that their child has great abilities and a good appearance, which will make them more proud. When it comes to appearance, the first thing to pay attention to is the child's height, so many parents pay special attention to this aspect. So, how can acupoint massage help children grow taller?

Abdominal massage: Parents can gently massage their children's abdomen clockwise for 1 minute and counterclockwise for 1 minute every day. This can regulate the spleen and stomach and replenish qi and blood.

Pinching the spine: The child lies prone with his back exposed. Apply an appropriate amount of talcum powder. Use the middle finger, ring finger and little finger of both hands to make a half fist. Half-bend the index finger and straighten the thumb to the front half of the index finger. Then press against the child's skin. Move the thumb and index finger forward, lift the skin and flesh, and twist it upward at the same time. Alternately push forward with both hands from both sides of the coccyx (i.e. both sides of the spine) to both sides of the Dazhui point (the protrusion behind the neck). Knead your child 3 to 5 times before going to bed every day. It is good for regulating the child's digestive system and enhancing resistance.

Rub the spine: Parents should rub their child’s spine with the palm of their palm, from bottom to top 5 to 7 times every day. It can invigorate Yang energy.

Press Baihui Point: Baihui Point is located at the center of the top of the head, at the intersection of the line directly above the two ear corners and the line connecting the center of the eyebrows backwards. Parents can massage their child's Baihui acupoint 20 to 50 times a day to invigorate Yang Qi, strengthen the body, eliminate evil, and clear the head.

Push the Three Gates: Use the index and middle fingers to push from the wrist line to the elbow line 100 to 300 times to regulate the spleen and stomach.

Na the Three Yang and Three Yin Meridians: The outside of the arms and legs are the Three Yang Meridians, and the inside is the Three Yin Meridians. Na is a massage technique that involves pinching with the hands. The three yang meridians should be pinched from top to bottom, and the three yin meridians should be pinched from bottom to top, 3 to 5 times each day.

Rub the Yongquan point: The Yongquan point is located in the palm of the foot. Rub it 30 to 50 times a day to nourish the kidneys.

Effective exercise

Simply put, exercises that can increase appetite, promote sleep, and apply a certain degree of longitudinal pressure to bones are beneficial for growing taller. Specifically, there are jogging, skipping rope, dancing, playing basketball and volleyball, etc. However, many children who play basketball and volleyball are already very tall. If you just want to grow taller, you should choose the sport you like, because emotional stability is also important for growing taller. However, strenuous exercise that consumes too much physical energy is better left to high school students whose bodies have stopped growing. Bone development comes to a certain extent from longitudinal pressure, but excessive pressure (weightlifting, etc.) makes it difficult for bones to grow longitudinally.

Through acupoint massage and meridian massage, the circulation of meridians and the nutrition of qi and blood in the whole body can be increased. Massaging these acupoints can promote metabolism and is beneficial to bone development. Massage is simple and easy, and children can easily accept it.
