Are there any side effects of piercing four seams

Children are very picky eaters, which gives parents a headache. They always try their best to make all kinds of delicious food for their children, but the children just don’t like to eat. There is a very ancient convenience, which is to tie four seams, which can well improve and treat the problem of children’s poor appetite, greatly increase children’s appetite and make children no longer picky eaters. However, tying four seams is generally suitable for children’s picky eaters, but it is not very effective for adults. So, does tying four seams have any side effects?

Acupuncture at the Sifeng point has both diagnostic and therapeutic effects on anorexia in children. There are many reasons for anorexia in children, but according to clinical statistics, about 72% are caused by spleen deficiency and food accumulation, which leads to internal dampness in the body. This is also closely related to improper feeding by parents, who overfeed their children with high-protein and high-fat foods, resulting in overnutrition. For such children, acupuncture at the Sifeng acupoint is very effective.

The Sifeng point is located on the palm surface of the second, third, fourth and fifth fingers, where the pale skin is exposed in the middle of the transverse lines between the first and second knuckles. Acupuncture at this point can clear away heat and relieve restlessness, unclog all meridians, harmonize internal organs, and stimulate gastrointestinal digestive function. If watery liquid flows out after acupuncture, it means that the child's spleen is weak and dampness is generated; if yellow, sticky liquid flows out, it means that dampness turns into heat and blocks the spleen. This can not only diagnose the cause of the child's anorexia, but also have a therapeutic effect.

If a child has a poor appetite for more than two months, has no appetite, is thin, has a greasy tongue coating, bad breath, irritability, abdominal distension, abnormal bowel movements, etc., it is very suitable for acupuncture treatment at the Sifeng point. Acupuncture at the Sifeng point is most suitable for treating anorexia in children aged 1 to 3 years old. Children aged seven or eight years old can be treated with a combination of internal and external medications. It can also be used in conjunction with navel application for treatment!
