Abstract

As a traditional Chinese medicine treatment, massage has significant clinical effect. In recent years, a large number of clinical studies have shown that the mechanism of massage in the treatment of diseases is related to the regulation of immune function. In this article, we review the existing problems and prospects of massage on children with diarrhea, asthma and recurrent respiratory tract infection in relation to its effect on the regulation of immune function.
