As the saying goes, "Winter nourishes Sanjiu, and summer nourishes Sanfu "!

The dog days of summer are coming soon. For people who usually pay attention to health, this is the most important time of the year to maintain health. If you don’t maintain your health during the three volts, it means you have been maintaining your health for a whole year.

Why is Sanfu health care so important?

In fact, this is the natural health law of Taoism. In nature, the yang energy is at its strongest during the Dog Days, and the same is true for our human body, where the yang energy is at its strongest during the dog days. As the saying goes, one breath of Yang energy brings one breath of life, nourishing Yang means nourishing life. The key to maintaining health during the dog days is to nourish Yang. Today we are talking about this disease and that disease. If we look at the root cause, there is only one reason: the lack of Yang Qi is a disease. Therefore, if you can replenish Yang Qi, the disease will be cured.

On the other hand, if you don’t understand the meaning of Dog Days health care, it is also the time when you are most susceptible to evil and illness. For me, many diseases in modern times are caused by summer, and they are caused by the lack of common sense. Sometimes, common sense is more useful than expertise, and concepts are more important than methods. For example, if you eat raw or cold food, you may get stomachache or have diarrhea, or if the air conditioner is blowing for a long time, your joints will ache, etc. In fact, this may all be due to insufficient yang energy in the body, causing cold air to invade the body, thus causing a series of cold symptoms to appear. Therefore, to maintain health during the dog days, we mainly rely on the season when Yang Qi is at its strongest to replenish Yang Qi or nourish Yang in order to resist the cold in the body, or in other words, use Yang Qi to drive away the cold. Among them, , spleen and stomach are the organs most susceptible to cold attacks.

What impact does the spleen and stomach get cold on the body?

The dog days of summer are coming soon, and the weather will be getting hotter and hotter. In order to eliminate the heat in the body, many people like to eat some cold and cold food to relieve the heat. However, if it goes on for a long time, the spleen yang in the body will inevitably be consumed, resulting in spleen deficiency . You must know that the spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation, transporting water and grains, and transporting water and dampness. If the spleen fails to function and the water and dampness stop inside, over time, it is easy to form a phlegm-dampness constitution . You must know that many modern diseases are closely related to phlegm-dampness . For example, diseases such as high blood pressure, persistent cough, and even tumors are also related to phlegm-dampness. For this reason, it is particularly important to regulate phlegm and dampness, and the source of phlegm and dampness comes from the spleen and stomach. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen and stomach are the source of dampness and phlegm. If you want to regulate phlegm and dampness, you must first regulate the spleen and stomach. Based on this situation, if the spleen and stomach catch cold, we should not ignore it.

How do you know if your spleen and stomach are cold?

Cold in the spleen and stomach can be called spleen and stomach deficiency and cold in traditional Chinese medicine. . Normally, people like to eat raw or cold food, or do not pay attention to keeping warm. The spleen and stomach are invaded by cold evil.

The above 6 symptoms, if you also have it, then it is probably due to spleen and stomach deficiency. In fact, spleen and stomach deficiency and cold refers to spleen and stomach yang deficiency and middle-jiao deficiency and coldness. If the Yang Qi of the spleen and stomach is insufficient and the warming function of Yang Qi decreases, the body will suffer from various cold symptoms and deficiency symptoms . For example, the limbs are not warm, edema, prone to diarrhea, abdominal pain and bloating, cold stomach stomach pain, likes warmth and likes to be pressed, nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, loose and thin stools, pale and fat tongue or tooth marks, and slow pulse. Unable to wait.

So how to treat the deficiency and coldness of the spleen and stomach?

If you want to force the coldness out of your body, summer is the time. Why do you say that? We also all know that summer is the season with the strongest yang energy among the four seasons of the year, and the dog days are the period when yang energy is the strongest in summer. It belongs to the yang of yang , so we must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and do our best. Work hard to completely defeat the cold evil and force the cold evil in the body out of the body. Using and on dog days is one of the best ways to regulate cold evil in the body.
