If a baby's immune system is low, they are often prone to illness, such as being susceptible to wind and cold, and often experiencing colds and fever. Therefore, certain measures should be taken to regulate the immune system of babies with low immunity. So, how to massage children with low immunity?
1. Providing moderate massage to babies with weakened immunity can help enhance their physical fitness and improve their immunity. However, performing massage requires accurate acupoint selection and moderate technique, so it should be done under the guidance of a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. You can first perform abdominal massage, aligning the palm of your hand with the middle part of the baby's navel, gently massaging clockwise and counterclockwise for 3-5 minutes, with moderate intensity and not for too long.
2. Children can improve their immunity through massage, and their physical fitness can also be enhanced through spine massage. The massage should be carried out from the lumbar and sacral regions to the Shenshu acupoint, from bottom to top, 3-5 times each time, with a slight redness on the skin. However, attention should be paid to avoiding crying and excessive manipulation to avoid damaging the baby's skin.
3. It is not advisable to massage the baby too many times a day, usually once a day. At the same time, it should be noted that the baby should not be massaged on an empty stomach, and it should also not be massaged immediately after being full, otherwise it will cause discomfort to the baby. If abnormal reactions such as crying are found in the baby during the massage process, they must be stopped in a timely manner.
