In the blink of an eye, it is about to "fall in". It is the most sultry, humid, and high-temperature time of the year, and it is also the time when the human body's yang energy is at its strongest. Using this time to treat certain cold diseases can better achieve the effect of treating both the symptoms and the root cause, which is what we commonly call "winter disease treated in summer" .
Especially some postpartum mothers will experience various discomforts after "falling into ambush", which is very suitable for winter diseases and summer treatment.
Are you this type of postpartum mother? Even if the summer is hot, I don’t dare to blow the fan or air conditioner for a long time, I don’t dare to take off my long clothes and trousers, and my body will feel cold from time to time. I have to cover my shoulders and legs tightly when sleeping, otherwise what awaits me when I get up the next day is Arm pain, waist pain, back pain...

Why are postpartum mothers more afraid of the cold?
There are some old-fashioned views that postpartum cold sensitivity is "confinement disease" and that it will get better after a good confinement period. In fact, this is not the case. This situation is closely related to the tenth month of pregnancy.
When a mother is ten months pregnant, a large amount of Qi and blood in the body is given to the uterus to nourish the baby. At this time, the Qi and blood in the limbs, joints, muscles and other places are in a state of insufficient or empty.
When giving birth, a lot of physical energy needs to be expended. Coupled with the bleeding from the birth canal, the qi and blood in the body are further depleted, and the body's resistance is very weak.
If you are not careful during the puerperium period, such as being overworked or eating cold food in order to cool down, then "pathogenic evil spirits" such as wind, cold, and dampness will easily take advantage of the weakness and stay in the skin, meridians, tendons, etc. of the joints and muscles. It hinders the circulation of Qi and blood, causing major symptoms such as cold and wind sensitivity, pain, soreness, heaviness, and numbness in many muscles and joints throughout the body.
Traditional Chinese medicine calls it postpartum rheumatism, also known as "postpartum body pain" and "postpartum paralysis".

The most difficult “dog days”
is also the most unmissable opportunity for treatment!
Traditional Chinese medicine has always advocated heat therapy, such as fumigation with traditional Chinese medicine, to deal with postpartum rheumatism.
Traditional Chinese medicine fumigation
uses medicinal steam to fumigate the human body. The medicinal properties will enter the skin through the pores with the steam and reach the lesions directly. It is well absorbed and has direct effect. At the same time, the heat energy of the steam promotes the blood circulation and blood circulation of the human body, and allows the cold and damp air in the body to pass through. Sweat is forced out of the body.

The best period of treatment is generally half a year to one year after delivery. In the later stage, the treatment can be strengthened and consolidated according to the severity of the disease, in the "dog days" of each year.
Many people would not consider fumigation treatment in summer. Just seeing the fumigation device can make up an explosively hot fumigation drama. But in fact, fumigation in the "dog days" is more effective. takes advantage of the "dog days", that is, using the "yang energy" of nature to strengthen the effect of dispelling cold and dampness, and has the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
