Pediatric massage is a daily acupoint - fontanelle acupoint

Fontanelle acupoint

　　【Location】The fontanelle (also known as the fontanelle) is located in the middle of the three inches in front of the Baihui acupoint. (Before the age of 1-1.5 years, the child's anterior hairline is about 2 inches straight up to the middle of the unclosed diamond-shaped bone depression.) )

　　【Efficacy】Dispelling wind and calming shock, invigorating and strengthening the brain.

　　Indications: Restless sleeplessness, night crying, ADHD, speech disorder, epilepsy, prolonged diarrhea, prolapse, enuresis, etc

　　【Technique】Massage fontanelle: Slowly rub the fontanelle with the three fingers of the index finger, middle finger and ring finger together for 1 minute. Be careful to be gentle and not forceful. When the fontanelle is closed, Baihui will replace it.

　　【How to operate】

1. Pushing method: two thumbs from the midpoint of the front hairline to the point of rotation (when the fontanelle is not closed, only push to the edge, or along the two edges of the fontanelle), which is called pushing the fontanelle.

2. Kneading method: gently knead with the whole palm or thumb surface (if it is not closed, this method should not be used), called kneading the fontanelle.

3. Mofa: Rub lightly with the palm of the hand, called the fontanelle.

　　【Frequency】50~100 times.

　　【Clinical application】The fontanelle is an important acupuncture point for children's brain health. Clinically, it is mostly used for childhood diseases such as night crying, hyperactivity, and autism.

　　Note: Under normal circumstances, the fontanelle is closed between 12~18 months after birth, so it is necessary to pay attention to the clinical operation and not to press hard.
