How to treat children's heart fire and liver heat

Children are the apple of their parents' eyes. What parents worry about most is their babies getting sick. When babies are sick, they not only have to endure the harm to their physical health caused by the disease, but also have to bear a lot of psychological pressure. Parents often feel uncomfortable as well. The most obvious symptoms of heart fire and liver heat in children are usually restless sleep, night sweats, and frequent dreams. Parents need to pay attention to this and take their children for conditioning in time.

How to treat children's heart fire and liver heat?

1. Pay attention to diet conditioning

Control children’s snacks and eat less braised and fried foods, which are likely to cause getting angry. Preschool children must eat less foods with shells, such as peanuts and melon seeds. Give your children more mung bean soup or mung bean porridge, and eat more vegetables and fresh fruits that can clear liver heat. Don't let children drink too much cold drinks in summer.

2. Drinking more water is good for liver detoxification

The liver is the largest detoxification organ in the human body. Almost all toxins in the body are metabolized by the liver and excreted from the body. This process requires a lot of water. Without enough water, the toxins in the body are not easily diluted and are difficult to excrete, which is also a considerable burden on the liver. At the same time, replenishing enough water can also prevent and alleviate the problem of excessive liver fire in children.

3. Get enough sleep

According to the theory of venous circulation in Traditional Chinese Medicine, the liver meridian operates from 11pm to 3am every day. If you can fall asleep peacefully at this time, you can provide sufficient operation and detoxification for the liver, thereby reducing the burden on the liver. Therefore, in order to let children develop good habits of going to bed early, especially parents who have the habit of staying up late, they should also try their best to change the bad habits of night owls, set an example for children to go to bed early and create an atmosphere for going to bed early.

4. Proper exercise and training

Appropriate exercise, especially aerobic exercise, can promote gas exchange, promote blood circulation, and ensure that the liver gets more oxygen supply. Moreover, proper exercise can eliminate the harm of excessive fat to the liver. Especially for many fat children nowadays, moderate exercise is very necessary.

5. Cultivate good character in children

Children's emotions have a great impact on the liver. The liver likes to be relaxed and hates to be depressed. Negative emotions such as anger, rage, and sulking can cause stagnation of qi and blood in the liver. If a child has a bad temper, is easily angered and cries easily, it will easily aggravate the symptoms of liver fire in the child. Therefore, parents should try their best to comfort their children when they are very angry, meet their demands, and let them maintain an optimistic and cheerful attitude.
