How big can you pick?

Modern medical technology has developed rapidly, and many advanced therapies have emerged, but traditional Chinese medicine has not been forgotten. It has even followed the trend and prospered. Among them, "Picking up the Accumulation" is a very classic therapeutic method in traditional Chinese medicine, which has a good effect on children's gastrointestinal problems, such as food accumulation. However, it has to be done at the right age. Let’s take a look at how old a child should be to have a fat transplant.

The pediatric acupuncture therapy of "picking accumulation" is also known as the method of picking malnutrition. It is an external treatment method for treating pediatric malnutrition (including worm accumulation) by using a three-edged needle (or other steel needle) to select specific parts and acupoints, prick the skin layer and remove subcutaneous fat. This therapy is derived from the ancient Chinese medicine acupuncture technique. It was first seen in "Compendium of Acupuncture and Moxibustion" and is rarely recorded in other Chinese medical classics. However, it is widely circulated for its simple method and remarkable curative effect. There are two methods: liquid picking method (four-seam picking method) and fat picking method (malnutrition picking method). The four-seam picking method is convenient and safe, so it is widely popular. Sifeng is an extra meridian acupoint, which is intrinsically connected with the triple energizer, life gate, liver and small intestine. Clinical observation shows that it has the effects of calming the liver and purging the heart, regulating the spleen and stomach. Acupuncture can adjust the triple energizer, dry dampness and expel parasites, and regulate the spleen and produce essence. Some doctors use this method specifically to treat infantile malnutrition; others use it in combination with decoctions as an auxiliary therapy.

"Accumulation", this disease is more common in children. Children's indigestion, worm accumulation, malnutrition and other symptoms as well as abdominal distension, hard and painful undigested stools, irritability, blinking and biting fingers can all be treated with the "picking up accumulation method". The relevant instruments are also very simple, including Mitsubishi needles or silver needles, 75% alcohol, cotton balls, etc. Wash and dry the child's hands, then use your left hand to fix the child's index, middle and ring fingers, disinfect them with 75% alcohol, hold the three-pointed needle and pierce the midpoints of the 1st and 2nd internodes of the palm surface of the four fingers, squeeze the needle hole, and a small amount of light yellow fluid (commonly known as malnutrition) and a little blood will flow out, then use hemostatic powder to bandage the wound.

Tiao Ji is a traditional Chinese medicine treatment that has obvious effects on children's indigestion. If you find that your child has symptoms of indigestion such as anorexia, bad breath, bloating, stomach discomfort, restless sleep, and hot hands and feet, you can go to a regular hospital and find a specialized doctor for "Tiao Ji" treatment. Because there are too many nerves and acupoints in the hands, for the sake of the child's health, parents should never try it on their own.
