Nursing Report on the Treatment of a Child with Short Stature Based on the Method of "Nourishing Earth to Generate Water"
This article summarizes the nursing experience of a pediatric case with short stature treated by moxibustion combined with herbal compress therapy. Guided by the holistic concept and syndrome differentiation principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), an individualized nursing plan was formulated, integrating moxibustion, herbal compress, syndrome-specific dietary guidance, and health education. After comprehensive nursing interventions, the child's physical constitution significantly improved, growth velocity increased, and the growth curve shifted toward the normal range, achieving satisfactory clinical outcomes.
