Attention parents with little ones, your child’s nose and skin diseases may be caused by allergic diseases! From the Chinese medicine point of view, if you want to improve allergy symptoms, you have to start with diet.
Children are sick and adults are impatient
Chinese medicine doctor Sheng-Pu Lee said, nose disease, allergic diseases, atopic dermatitis, originally should not occur in children’s age, but now there are many people get these problems; when children often have colds and fevers, throat inflammation, tonsillitis, it is reasonable to let him rest, fight the virus, give him a period of autoimmunity, but unfortunately, adults are often impatient, no patience to manage children’s sick time, only hope that immediate results, “immediately” good, so eat a lot of antibiotics, and the more powerful antibiotics, the more use.
Once a large number of antibiotics are used, the beneficial bacteria and enzyme system in the gastrointestinal tract are damaged, the nutrients, decomposition and heat mediation produced in the body become worse and worse, the human immune system is greatly reduced, the body’s ecology is damaged, the body’s immune system is more sensitive to temperature changes outside due to the reduction and lowering of enzymes and beneficial bacteria, and it is easier to contract infectious diseases.
Nose disease to get well ice to eat less
Chinese medicine doctors mostly advocate not to eat ice and drink ice water, Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee stressed that cold drinks are indeed very bad for children. Nowadays, children live in groups and go to school together, so there are more and more opportunities for cross-infection; when the body’s internal Qi is not smooth, nose diseases become more and more rampant. According to Li Shenpu’s observation over the years, so far, children with nose disease can be improved and treated with Chinese medicine as long as adults are patient when they have a cold.
“The first time a child comes to see a doctor, the fever and sore throat do not heal as quickly as with antibiotics, but once cured, tonsillitis will not be as frequent, and the color will gradually improve, and the resistance to repeated attacks of colds will gradually improve. The resistance to recurring colds is gradually improving,” said Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee.
Reduce the amount of cold food
” For children with allergic diseases, it is important to pay attention to the diet, not to drink cold and not to disturb the temperature, because the gastrointestinal function is very important. “Chinese medicine believes that the large intestine is the source of heat production, so the nose must take care of the vital energy of the large intestine. “The energy of the large intestine requires more fiber rather than just nutrition. You need to eat less food that is too cold, and you need to take your children to do activities and exercises, not to stay in the air-conditioned room all day without any time for activities.”
What foods are cold foods? Including watermelon, pears, bamboo shoots, cabbage, radish, loofah, winter melon, etc. are all cold foods, and Chinese medicine believes that intake should be reduced, “not not not to eat, but to reduce the amount.”
Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee emphasized that nose disease and atopic skin disease are both problems of the lung and large intestine meridians, and their treatment has the same effect. When such a problem is found, attention must be paid to the underlying treatment, “If the nose is cured, the skin will also be cured; if one side is not cured, the other side will not be cured, the two are interchangeable.”
