【好眠穴位】泡足浴以外另一選擇-按穴位!
很多時候家長們的緊張會無形中轉移到孩子身上。中醫認為「心藏神,主神志」,受驚、壓力、或受委屈等負面情緒會影響孩子,如沒有適當的宣洩或解釋,只會影響睡眠,甚至學習、集中力及記憶力。所以別以為年紀輕則不會有壓力。想孩子睡得好,睡前一小時可喝一杯暖和的燕麥米水,睡前要上廁所,以免因肚子餓或需要小便而醒來。另外,睡房空氣要流通,環境也要夠暗夠寧靜,睡前替他們按摩一下穴位也會有幫助!

Losing sleep from being nervous?
A lot of times parents put stress on children without knowing it. Chinese medicine believes that negative emotions such as fear, pressure, or feeling of injustice can all affect children. If there’s no proper way to relieve the stress or explanation for what happened, it can affect sleep quality, ability to concentrate and retain information. Don’t underestimate stress just because your children is young. If you want your child to sleep well, try having a cup of warm oats rice water an hour before bed time. Also go to the restroom before bedtime to avoid waking up due to hunger or need to urinate. Also air circulation should be good and the envionrment should be quiet. Also try pressure on acupoint to help!
