If the baby's tongue edge turns red, it indicates that the baby's heart fire is relatively strong. Babies with strong heartbeats usually feel thirsty during the day and drink a lot of water, but at night they become very restless and cannot sleep well. At this point, the mother wants to calm the baby's anger, but she doesn't want the baby to take medicine, so she thinks of using massage. So where does a baby's heart fire need massage?
Firstly, if the baby's heart fire is strong, they need to massage the Spleen Soil acupoint, which is located next to the radius of the thumb or on the threaded surface of the thumb. Stretch the baby's thumb straight and gently push it upwards, or rotate it to massage the threaded surface of the baby's thumb for about five minutes. This can help the baby release dry heat and dispel internal heat. At the same time, it can also increase the baby's appetite.
You can also massage the baby's heart fire point to help treat the problem of excessive heart fire in the baby. The Xinhuo acupoint is located on the ribbed surface of the last segment of the middle finger or on the palm surface of the middle finger. At this point, gently push along the entire palm of the middle finger from the base towards the tip of the finger, repeating the action for about five minutes. This is beneficial for babies to calm down, clear heat, and dispel internal heat. When massaging a baby, it is important to use gentle pressure and not too much force, otherwise it may have negative effects. If the massage effect is not obvious, it is necessary to take the baby to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor in a timely manner.
