It’s been raining for a few days now, and the summer humidity is steaming up during the day, while the nights are starting to get cold. Be on the lookout, the dampness and coldness of early autumn is more likely to hurt you.
In the season of summer and autumn transition, moisture is heavier, and children with dampness in their bodies should not rush to nourish the dryness. Children are not dry, so why force moisten the dryness? On the contrary, it will break the balance of the body inside and outside. The most important thing for children’s health care in the rainy autumn season is to grasp a major point: to get rid of dampness, taking into account the two management principles: spleen + cold prevention, the baby’s natural safety and autumn worry-free.
In addition to being prone to internal dampness, you should also pay attention to external dampness in autumn.
As many parents know, Dampness, as spoken of in Chinese medicine, is divided into Internal Dampness and External Dampness.
The so-called internal dampness is the unfavorable movement of the spleen and stomach, the water in the body is turned into dampness, the valley is turned into stagnation, water and dampness stop inside. The simple understanding is that, when the spleen and stomach are well, the water in the body can become fluid and moisten the organs like a stream, and this state is healthy.
When the spleen and stomach are overburdened, the water in the body can only become a stagnant muddy pond of water and dampness, phlegm and drink, and food stagnation, which impedes the smooth flow of qi and blood, but also makes the spleen and stomach suffer more.
Some parents don’t understand, isn’t it said that autumn is very dry? Why is the baby still wet? Improper diet and damaged spleen and stomach are the main causes of internal dampness in autumn.
In addition to internal dampness, there is also the need to guard against external dampness in autumn. It’s a characteristic of early autumn that “a fall rain a cold”, the external environment and climate is humid, which leads to external dampness.
The actual actual time of the day, the actual time of the day, the actual time of the day, the actual time of the day, the actual time of the day, the actual time of the day, the actual time of the day.
This also reminds the parents and children who live in the south, the external environment is always rainy and humid, the spleen and stomach healthy luck is the premise of less illness, and reasonable elimination of dampness is the premise of the spleen and stomach healthy luck.
There are these 5 characteristics of dampness, use these 3 prescriptions to get rid of dampness and prevent dampness
To determine if your baby is damp, look for the following five characteristics.
A look at the tongue: the tongue is white and thick, or yellowish, and there are easily traces of teeth on the tongue.
The second look at the stool: loose stool, not formed, stick to the stool is not easy to flush out.
Thirdly, appetite: poor appetite, lack of appetite.
Heavy dampness will affect the operation of the spleen and stomach and affect digestion. If your baby’s appetite is significantly reduced and he or she does not want to eat, it is likely that dampness is also present in the body.
Fourthly, mental state: poor mental state, easily sleepy and weak. In the morning, the baby still can’t wake up, and is listless.
Five look at the body: body fat, often sweat, sweat sticky, easy to tired and sick, is more of a phlegm and dampness, dampness in the body.
The above situations, belongs to the body wet, do not recommend that the baby eat cold food, and do not blindly moisten the dry. When there is heavy dampness, the child is more or less prone to accumulation of food. It is recommended that parents can adopt this plan.

Method: vegetarian + expectorant + elimination, such as four-star soup, peach ling soup (dampness stagnation is partial to heat).

Now that we are in the autumn rainy season, there are some common negligent practices that parents often do that can easily lead to dampness in their babies and should be avoided at all costs.
Avoid eating summer fruits that are cold or autumn fruits that nourish yin; avoid eating foods that are sweet, fatty, nourishing and heavy; avoid believing in “autumn freeze” and not adding clothes when it’s cold and raining; avoid getting overexcited, running and jumping, exercising excessively and sweating a lot without paying attention to the cold; avoid sleeping with air conditioners and fans blowing directly on you, and avoid opening the window to the bed when the weather is cool and rainy.
In the autumn, it is more important to take care of the spleen.
I often emphasize that the child’s internal organs are delicate and fragile, and getting rid of dampness is not the same as violently drinking Chen Pi barley water every day. It’s easy to damage the yang energy and difficult to form a virtuous cycle if you rely on external forces to dispel dampness.
The reason why you need to get rid of dampness, especially in autumn, is to give urgent remedy to the spleen and stomach damage caused by incorrect feeding in summer. Only the summer hoarding of dampness removed, the spleen and stomach can have a better basis to converge and replenish, hoarding sufficient yang energy to resist autumn and winter cold and disease.
Therefore, in autumn, it is more important to take care of the spleen and stomach to dispel dampness. In addition, for children, eliminating dampness can only be effective if it goes hand in hand with strengthening the spleen. When the child does not have an accumulation of food, you can choose some food that is flat in nature, both to strengthen the spleen and benefit qi and the effect of eliminating dampness, such as: loach, sweet, light, flat in nature, good for water and eliminate dampness, tonify the middle and benefit qi, strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach; Gorgon, sweet, flat in nature, eliminate dampness and benefit water, strengthen the spleen and tonify the middle, warm and tonify the kidney and kidney; red beans, sweet, sour, flat in nature, good for the spleen and benefit qi, good for water and eliminate dampness, detoxification and drainage of pus.
