TCM for Pediatrics

When children get sick, not only the children suffer from it but the parents also. With traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), how can parents help their sick children. We are please to have Dr. Lucy Hu to give us some TCM tips on pediatrics. There is a different set of measure when making a TCM diagnosis for children. Children’s blood and Qi is not fully developed yet, so they get blood and qi deficiency easily and get sick. In addition, their channel or the heart vessel is not developed yet, so it may also cause some problems with channel or blood vessel and make them sick. If children get sick, their syndromes change quickly. A TCM practitioner’s job is to follow the children’s conditions, in order to make correct diagnosis and treatment plan.

Hi, welcome to the class. My name is Lucy Hu. I’m a faculty member of Five Branches University. I am very honored to be invited to give you guys a brief talk about traditional Chinese medicine for Pediatrics.

00:03 Speaker 1: So, we need little by little understand what is different adult, right? Firstly, we thinking the anatomy, how different adult anatomy different adult. And the pathogenic different adult and the physiologic is different adult. Some nutrition diet, different adult. Or the metabolism, different adult. How to take care, healthy care for the children, different adult. And for treat disease diagnosis and treatment, different adult. We say the pediatrician, traditional Chinese medicine is very independent size, independent size. So, I show you some picture. For example, this picture, for ear. Many children have the ear infection in this country. You look these two picture. One is for adult, one is for children ear. The anatomy, different adult.

01:10 S1: If catch the cold, very common cold, so you… And the five year old children very easy getting ear infection because ear anatomy, the tubes, each tubes, yeah different adult, so they get the common cold. So, very easy, go to the ear. So, how to treat and how to prevention so important. We need to know this knowledge. Okay, next. You see the digestion system, children many digestion problem and digestion… For example is diarrhea or the constipation or the abdomen pain because their digestive system anatomy is different. You look the two pictures, one is adult, one is children. Their position different, size different and the tube open different. So easy make the infant spit out milk or the vomiting or the other disease. Okay, next.

02:20 S1: So, TCM thinking the pediatrician, the physiology different. They say the the qi and the blood, no fullness, no develop yet. So they always easy qi and the blood deficiency, easy make those kind of problem. Other one, they said the channel or the vessel heart is not developed yet. So can make the other channel or blood vessel some problem, too. So the one we say the internal organ and the essential qi, no fullness, so, easy make the, a lot of internal organs disease. Last point, we say the wei qi function is not strong enough, especially how easy get common cold. If weather change or some condition change, they are the first one make the wei qi is low because they are not strong yet. How to make the stronger, so this TCM can take care too.

03:34 S1: Then the other, we say the physiologic different pediatrician. We say they are very easy catch the disease, especially younger one. We say the external factor, for example is weather change, we’re now starting weather change is wind, cold, or heat or dry or fire can make many different seasoned disease. Other reason become easily sick children, we say the internal effect. Internal, we say the five elements. We talk major one, five elements. Five elements, always most deficiency, especially for example, lung, spleen and the kidneys. They are not developed yet, not mature yet, so they always deficiency. So, easy make this organ problem. If we know this knowledge, how to support, make the organ function is better.

04:45 S1: Then that if children is sick, they are very quickly changed. Pediatrician job always follow the children their condition, they change very quickly. They change… for example, they change the deficiency very quickly. If you catch the cold, most wind cold, they change wind heat very quickly too. So this pediatrician need to know. Then if your diagnosis is correct and the treatment is correct, they recover seem like easy, fast, their so good. This different adult. This just look the picture. You see the children growing underdeveloped is for the different age. We can compare thing for the adult from the filter to adult. You see the two months, the filter seem like head, halfway for the whole body.

05:52 S1: You look at 25 year old, you see the adult, you see the head, only maybe when five of this that developed very quickly, follow the different age. Okay. Next. Then we talked the pediatrician problem, starting mommy pregnant, the filter starting. We have the six period. Because different age, different problem. For example, filter disappeared, mommy pregnant, we need prevention many disease during this time. Especially first three months, we need to take care of mom. How to take care of the pregnant people, how to prevention some disease, very important. For example, certain period, we say the new baby, new baby after new, many new baby problem. For example, I just give you the example of skin problem, breathing problem or the jaundice, the infant jaundice.

07:11 S1: Infant jaundice for TCM treat really good, we really simple, yeah. We can give the herb tea mommy can drink, pass the milk give the baby, very quickly control this condition. Don’t need a complicate for Western treatment, and very safe, both sides, mommy or children is very comfortable, very quickly recover. You can see the mommy pregnant, the baby the situation. Okay. Come back to, and other picture. Yeah. Okay. This is a new born period, starting 28 to one month, the baby, their situation is very critical. This my office, patient sometime is twins, sometime ones. Okay, next picture. This my other period, we say one month to one year. This year, this age, different problem, too. Sometimes, it’s after six months, their feeding problem, we need supplement food, not only mommy milk. Okay.

08:27 S1: After six months, mommy give the antibody almost disappeared. The babies have not build it yet, so, easy sick, easy get, yeah, yeah, some infection disease. We need to special take care. And they say it’s easy to have the skin problem. I hold that this baby’s skin problem eczema. After treatment, completely recover. Okay. Okay, next picture. This other period, one month to one year. This baby getting, growing up, they try self-eat or the new teeth coming or they’re gradually standing. But they have other problem, because they easy get the infection, disease this age. Okay, next. These one or two, three year old children, they can standing, they can walking, they can talk. But they still have the, easy get the infection disease or the injury easily, because they move activity more.

09:39 S1: Okay. Next. This is the three or seven year old period children, preschool. They go to the daycare or after seven year old, they go to the regular school. They have other problem, tonsils, also kidney infection disease. Okay, next. This is more big children, yeah. We say that childhood period, seven to 12 year old. They already study, same like yes, as a big children, regular time go to the school. They have the other emotion problem, and still have some infection disease they can get. Okay. Then the how to diagnostic method for the pediatrician, because baby cannot talk with you, especially young baby, no language. If older one, they talk, still not detailed, right? So we use these four technique check the patient. First one important, we said inspection. We need a…

11:02 S1: Doctor need an experience, look the patient very important, look to everywhere, we need to look, head, eyes, mouth, skin, and all that, look the eye, skin color, skin the rash, okay. Everything we need to look, and the diaper, we need to look, too. The eyes inside, something happened, we need everything. So look so important. And the emotion, we can see patient happy, happy, crying, crying, the sounds. Okay, no more sounds, or the sick sounds, we need to look. And other technique, we say we need a smell. Many smell can tell us is what happened for children. For example diarrhea, we need… Diarrhea has smell. What different smell, we can know. Is the food stagnation or the wind cold or the wind heat or is overeating? This we know, just for example. And we need to ask question.

12:21 S1: Ask question, baby cannot answer you. We need to ask the family, close to the baby one. For example, if mommy always with the baby, we need to ask mommy. With the grandma always, we need to ask, very detail ask, starting mommy pregnant continued right now. Last technique, we need to check the pulses, yeah. Childrens, they have the post technique, but a little different adult, yeah. This important for TCM, for TCM. And at the same time, we need the touch technique. Touch the abdomen, touch the head, touch the hands, touch the foot. We need to know many information. Okay, next. Then, we are… This have more detail. Before we talk, inspection very important for exam. You say ask inspection, you look what, this thing for you. Yeah.

13:26 S1: Especially we looked at the shen. We say the shen, spirit, spirit. If normal children is lot of energy, lot of energy. Look very happy face and shining eyes, right? If sick baby, they changed. The energy is low. The eyes is not much energy, too. Okay? They change a lot. So certainly, the body shape, we need to look. And the tongue, we need to look. The TCM, very important to look the tongue, tongue tissue, tongue coating, tongue shape. Everything we need to look, okay? Then the eyes, we need to look color, red, yellow, white. Is it closed or open? Everything we need to look. And the nose, is stuffed nose, congestion nose, have the mucus, what color mucus, we need to look. And the lips, color important, too. Is lip color red or pale or the purple color? We need to know. Okay. And dry and moist.

14:33 S1: Last technique we need to know, the index finger, blood vessel line. This is special… For the pediatrician, we use over 2,000 year experience. We looked, we know this disease is external, internal. And the light or medium or the danger. If you study pediatrician, we need very detail talk about this index finger blood vessel line can tell us many things. Okay. Specialize.

Combined together, use these three technique, yeah. Depends the disease. Some disease are urgent. Children, if your diagnose treatment is correct, they recover fast. Don’t need too long. If chronic disease, maybe little longer. Last week, yeah, we have the chronic, the always sick baby. Before this, used too much antibiotic, seemed like a bad cycle.
