Hello, when a child has weak spleen and stomach function, dietary adjustments should be the first step—providing easily digestible and light meals. Additionally, certain traditional Chinese herbal remedies that strengthen the spleen and stimulate appetite may be used for regulation, such as rice sprout (Gu Ya), hawthorn (Shan Zha), and coix seed (Yi Mi). Furthermore, “spinal捏脊 (Niē Jǐ)” therapy—a TCM technique involving gentle pinching and lifting along the spine—can also help regulate spleen and stomach function in infants and young children. We hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
