Once pregnant women suffer from wind cold and flu during pregnancy, not only will they feel uncomfortable, but it will also have an impact on their children. Since pregnant women cannot take medication casually, they can use massage to relieve discomfort when they have a cold. So, how to massage pregnant women with a cold and wind?
Firstly, if a pregnant woman has a cold, she can seek help from a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for massage. Do not massage acupoints on your own to avoid unnecessary harm to yourself and the fetus. If the pregnant woman is still able to move freely, she can do a simple foot massage at home or ask her husband to help with the foot massage. First, find the ankle joint and half of the back heel of the foot, gently massage it repeatedly towards the heel direction. When massaging, you will find a groove. Push along this groove towards the back of the foot without using too much force. This can help pregnant women relieve the discomfort caused by wind and cold.
Secondly, pregnant women can prepare a metal spoon, heat it up, don't make it too hot, then place the hot spoon on the tiger's mouth of their palm, massage the tiger's mouth, massage for a while, then soak the spoon in cold water for a while, and then massage the tiger's mouth with the spoon repeatedly for about 10 times. This method is very effective for pregnant women with mild cold and wind. If the severity of a cold is severe, it is necessary to seek medical treatment to avoid worsening the condition and affecting the growth and development of the baby.
