Patient's question:
The child was born via cesarean section and has had a weaker constitution since childhood. She frequently experiences nausea and vomiting, but her diet is normal and she doesn't catch colds easily—just tends to feel nauseous and vomit more easily. She visited an elderly traditional Chinese medicine practitioner at home, who prescribed some herbal remedies for regulation. If the child experiences nausea and vomiting, acupuncture can help alleviate it.What kind of help is needed: What are the acupuncture techniques for pediatric diarrhea?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, push up the seven joints, have the child lie flat on their stomach, using the child's coccyx as the starting point, one inch or one finger-width above it is the seven joints. Then open both hands, with the four fingers fixed on both sides of the lumbar region, and use the thumbs to apply acupuncture to the seven joints. In traditional Chinese massage, this method is the primary way to treat intestinal diseases and is very helpful in treating children's diarrhea and dysentery.
