What causes children to have eye bags?

Generally speaking, children do not have bags under their eyes. If a child has bags under his eyes, you should pay attention to it. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, bags under the eyes of a child often indicate that the child's spleen and stomach are relatively poor, which means that the child has poor nutrition absorption, which has a greater impact on the child. The child often becomes thin, prone to colds, has poor physical fitness, etc. At this time, you must go to the hospital for examination and conditioning in time and strengthen treatment.

The baby has bags under the eyes or dark circles, and the eye sockets under the eyes appear bluish purple, making him look like "panda eyes". This is a typical "qi chi bluish purple" complexion. The physical characteristics are: spleen deficiency and heavy wind. The spleen and stomach functions of such children will be relatively poor.

If the Qi Chi point is purple-blue, the baby’s spleen and stomach are in poor condition. "Secretary of Pediatric Massage·Acupoints and Techniques" says: "Qi Chi is located below the eye, also known as Kanxia." It is the same place for visual diagnosis as the eye above the eye (Feng Chi). "Explanation of the meaning of pediatric massage, Volume 1": "Wind-related symptoms include yellow tongue color, vomiting, and yellow tongue color, which is definitely wind-related. If the tongue is yellow, it is a sign of irritability, crying, and restlessness, and the tongue is red, which is a sign of wind-related symptoms."

In pediatric diagnosis, Qi Chi often reflects the symptoms of the spleen and stomach. The nature of the disease can be determined based on the changes in the color of Qi Chi. Therefore, once parents discover that their children have dark circles under their eyes, they should start paying attention to their children's spleen and stomach conditioning.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the foundation of the innate is the kidney, and the foundation of the acquired is the spleen." Most of the common diseases in children are caused by acquired constitutions. If the spleen and stomach function poorly, children will be prone to illness.

1. Thin body, no growth

Children with weak spleen and stomach have difficulty absorbing and transforming nutrients, and are likely to be thin, or puffy, fat and weak, and in poor spirits.

2. Prone to colds, fever, coughs, etc.

Children with spleen deficiency eat less and cannot absorb food well, so they will inevitably have poor physical constitution and poor resistance.

3. Thick tongue coating

If the baby's tongue coating is light pink and uniform in color, it means that the child is relatively healthy. If the baby's tongue coating is thick and white in color, it may be a sign of indigestion and poor spleen and stomach.

A careful mother can tell the child's physical condition at a glance. If your baby's face is yellow, dull, and his appetite is poor, you should pay attention to the fact that his spleen and stomach are weak!

5. Constant drooling

Children often drool when they sleep, and many mothers do not take it seriously, thinking that it will get better when the baby grows up. It is normal for babies to drool before their teeth grow out. If they continue to drool after their teeth grow out, it is due to spleen deficiency. Mothers should pay attention to this.

6. Losing appetite and eating less, or eating more but still bloating

There is a type of child who eats a lot but looks very thin. This is actually a manifestation of spleen deficiency. If you eat too much and it cannot be completely digested, it will eventually be excreted from the body, and your weight will only decrease and not increase.
