The story of Uncle De’s clinic:
Miss Tang, the mother of the second child, is 36 years old this year, and the eldest son is 4 years old. Six months ago, the family welcomed her second treasure.
During the six months after giving birth, Ms. Tang repeatedly developed eczema on her limbs. In order to breastfeed, she did not dare to take western medicine, but only bought external medicines to apply to relieve the itching. I don’t dare to be “presumptuous” in my diet. I only eat whole grains or vegetables and fruits, and I often cook melon soup.
In the past month, Ms. Tang found that the eczema began to spread to the chest and abdomen, and the itching became more and more severe. Misfortunes do not come singly. In the past few days, Dabao’s old problem of rhinitis has recurred. He often rubs his eyes and has a stuffy nose. He sleeps with his mouth open at night, and he sneezes again and again in the morning. The family hurriedly asked Uncle De for help.
Uncle De’s riddle:
The postpartum constitution is mostly due to the deficiency of qi and blood. At this time, it is most necessary to warm up and gradually replenish the qi and blood. Children have the characteristics of insufficient spleen and stomach, and the yang qi is gradually filling up.
Miss Tang’s family diet is mostly coarse grains, fruits and vegetables, and postpartum soups are mostly vegetable soup and melon soup, which are mostly cold in nature, which can easily damage the spleen and stomach yang qi. Although coarse grains have high nutritional value, they are not easily digested. For people with weak spleen and stomach, they will only increase the burden on the spleen and stomach, and cannot be fully absorbed.
The recurrence of Dabao rhinitis is also related to the inability of the spleen to nourish the lungs due to poor dietary structure. The spleen has the function of transporting water and dampness. Once the temper is insufficient, the internal and external dampness will stay between the skin and muscles, causing Miss Tang’s eczema.
In terms of treatment, Uncle De focuses on strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi, as well as removing dampness and relieving itching. After taking traditional Chinese medicine for half a month, I adjusted the family diet according to Uncle De’s suggestion. Miss Tang’s eczema was significantly relieved, and Dabao’s rhinitis was relieved.
Preventive health care:
Uncle De believes that the “culprit” of Miss Tang and the baby’s symptoms is that the diet structure is too cold, and it is most important to adjust the diet structure at home. Or cold, raw food, such as whole grains, bitter gourd, Chinese cabbage, cucumber, tofu, kelp, etc.
