Massage gently and use movements certain drugs can stimulate the release of endorphins which cause the baby to feel comfortable and relaxed, so that it will increase the baby's immune system because it stimulates increased activity of the neurotin neurotransmitters. Increased activity of neurotransmitters will cause receptor cells to bind glucocorticoids which causes a decrease in the hormone adrenaline, so that it can increase immunoglobulin in infants/toddlers. Acupressure massage along the Taiyin handlung meridians can treat cold coughs, because along the Taiyin hand-lung meridians there are points where flowing xue . will be transported to the surface of the body.
