Do you still remember the cold hands and feet last winter, pale complexion, especially afraid of cold and wind, fond of warmth, easy to have diarrhea after cold, increased nocturia, dysmenorrhea, joint pain, and even feeling tired?
At the time, I thought it was due to the cold weather, but why do I feel heavy, fatigued, sweaty, and gain weight in summer, especially after the air conditioner is turned on?
In fact, this is because 's body is too cold and damp, and if it is not removed for a day, it will breed tigers..
When talking about cold and dampness, we must first mention yang qi. "Plain Questions: The Theory of Life and Life" says: "If the sky and the sun lose their place, the life of a person with yang qi will be lost." Deficiency constitution is one of them, mainly refers to the physical state of deficiency of yang qi and the phenomenon of deficiency and cold .
Yang deficiency constitution is formed by congenital deficiency and acquired influence . Congenital insufficiencyIt is mainly due to weak parental endowments, or older pregnancy, or insufficient maternal and fetal nourishment; Acquired factorsBad lifestyle habits, such as excessive food and cold, alcoholism, emotional injury, and excessive housework, have a long-term effect on The human body will also lead to the formation of yang deficiency constitution.
As stated in "Jingyue Quanshu: Treatise on Treatment": "When the yang is deficient, there will be too many worries and thoughts to hurt the spirit, or inappropriate labor will hurt the strength, or excessive lust and the qi will go away with the essence, or the elemental nature will be lost. Insufficient yang and cold and cold cause injury, etc., all diseases are caused by the damage of yang qi." After the yang qi is damaged, if it is not recuperated in time, it will evolve into a physical state of yang deficiency over time.
Professor Wang Qi summarized the physical characteristics of Yang deficiency from five aspects: morphological characteristics, common manifestations, psychological characteristics , onset tendency, and ability to adapt to the external environment:
. Morphological characteristics
.Common manifestations
Lack of energy, usually afraid of cold, pale complexion, light lips, hair falling easily, sweating easily, warm hands and feet, fond of hot diet, excessive sleep, loose stools, long urination, thin tongue The tender side has tooth marks, moist moss, and slow pulse.
. Psychological characteristics
are more quiet and introverted.
. Incidence tendency
The onset is mostly cold syndrome, or easy to change from cold, easy to get sick phlegm , swelling , diarrhea, impotence , dysmenorrhea.
. Adaptability to the external environment
Intolerant of cold and evil, resistant to summer but not winter.
So, how did Yang deficiency and cold and dampness come into being?
Yang deficiency and cold and dampness are the cause and effect of each other. Constitution determines an individual's susceptibility to a certain pathogenic factor and the propensity of the type of lesions it produces.
Cold-dampness is classified as Yang-deficiency constitution, which mainly comes from two aspects:
First, yang deficiency can easily lead to internal cold, which in turn causes water to gather and generate dampness; , frequent use of air conditioners, not paying attention to keeping warm, staying up late, gluttony for raw and cold food, etc., coupled with the high humidity in summer, combined with the problem of dampness and cold.
Cold and damp can not only affect the internal organs, but also involve local organs, such as dampness can stay in the internal organs, and can also invade the muscles and joints.
Cold is the main winter season.. There are internal and external points, and the performance is different. Yin Sheng is cold. It is sticky and sticky, and it is its characteristic that it is first affected by dampness. This is actually related to the physical phenomenon of water moistening and gravity.
How to recognize cold and wet?
We can understand cold by "taking the analogy". For example, when water freezes, it is cold and condensed. Similarly, cold evil can make the blood of the human body stagnate; it is easy to sweat in hot weather, but it stops when it is cold. Has astringency related.
Wetness comes from water, water can be vaporized into fog, frozen into ice, fluidity is large, wet and sticky, wet and heavy, just like water in a quilt, it cannot evaporate, and it will feel heavy after covering it , stuffy, if the dampness in the body for a long time, it will accumulate into a disease.
How do you know that there is cold and dampness in your body? The following symptoms can be assessed:
. Dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness all day, cough with phlegm, abdominal pain diarrhea, puffiness ;
. Cold hands and feet, no matter how thick they are;
. Joint weakness, soreness, Needle-pointing or wandering feeling;
. Thick and greasy tongue coating, with tooth marks on the edge of the tongue;
. Cold waist and abdomen, women will have irregular menstruation;
. There are also spots on the face, acne , repeated oral ulcer , bad breath , etc.
Many people will wonder why they have paid great attention to the influence of the external environment of , but why does the body still appear cold and damp?
It is because in causes the dysfunction of spleen and stomach to transport and transform water and dampness, resulting in internal dampness, such as poor diet, poor mood, weak spleen and stomach , etc. If yang is insufficient, it will produce internal cold .
So, how to save it?
Starting from the beginning of summer, it is the best time to raise the sun . "The cold is hot", when the temperature is high in summer and the body's yang qi is strong, the treatment method of warming yang is given to remove the cold air deposited in the body, and adjust the yin and yang of the human body, such as moxibustion, foot soaking, sun exposure method of the sun.
Many people will ask whether the hot weather in summer will "add fuel to the fire"?
"In spring and summer, yang is prosperous on the outside and deficient on the inside, so it is necessary to nourish the yang that is deficient in the interior, and it is advisable to use pungent heat and warm yang diet to replenish yang qi." Traditional Chinese medicine has a treatment method of "making the best use of the situation". Summer replenishing yang is actually With the help of the weather, the effect of replenishing the sun is better than in winter , and in summer, everyone likes to blow air conditioners and eat cold food. Excessive heat will damage the yang.
There is a saying in traditional Chinese medicine that "prevent winter diseases early in summer", grasp the summer to replenish the yang, remove the cold and dampness from the body, and it will be better in winter.
At this time, you should drink a cup of authentic ginseng, brown sugar, ginger and jujube tea. This is a very good dietary method for warming yang and eliminating cold and dampness. Its main mystery lies in its unique raw material formula.
As the saying goes: "Eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, without a doctor's prescription." The alias of ginger is "resurrection grass", and ginger soup is also called "resurrection soup".
The tradition of eating ginger in our country can be said to have a long history. In the "Analects of Confucius", we can see that Confucius clearly put forward the idea of "do not remove ginger, eat less".
Su Dongpo wrote in "Dongpo Miscellaneous Notes" that an 80-year-old monk at Jingci Temple in Qiantang, Hangzhou looked like a child, "I said that I have been ginger for 40 years, so I am not old." "Fitness Song" written by Su Dongpo first mentioned ginger: "One pound of ginger and half a catty of jujube...the beauty will never grow old." It will go a long way.
