Sleeping time becomes longer on weekends, but many people feel that the more they sleep, the more tired their bodies become, making them feel particularly sleepy. Why is this?
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, sleepiness becomes more and more sleepy, perhaps because of "phlegm-dampness constitution" and "qi deficiency constitution". "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic Su Wen Xuan Ming Five Qi Chapter" mentions: "Long-term looking hurts the blood, long-term lying down hurts the Qi, long-term sitting hurts the flesh, long-term standing hurts the bones, and long-term walking hurts the tendons. These are the injuries caused by the five types of labor." If you stay up late for a long time during a busy workday, it is easy to damage yin and consume qi, resulting in a sense of fatigue and forming a "qi deficiency constitution" or " yin deficiency constitution ". Staying in bed for a long time can lead to poor qi movement, qi stagnation, and blood stasis. The essence of water and grains cannot be transported to the five internal organs and the body, and cannot be provided to the heart and brain to nourish the body. The body's water and liquid metabolism is abnormal, and phlegm and dampness cloud the heart orifices. , Dampness trapped in the body, eventually leading to physical weakness and fatigue, fatigue and depression, less movement and laziness.
Speaking of phlegm-dampness, ordinary people are actually no stranger to it. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that phlegm-dampness is caused by various pathogenic factors such as external infections and internal injuries, which lead to dysfunction of the relevant organs of the human body and cause water-liquid metabolism disorders. For example, in the long summer season, the weather is hot, rainy and humid, with dense fumigation and water vapor rising and dispersing, making it the most humid period of the year. Areas with low-lying terrain and many surrounding rivers and lakes can easily form a local wet environment. In addition, wading through water and being exposed to rain can make people susceptible to dampness. Another example is eating too much fatty, sweet, greasy, or raw or cold food, and staying in bed too lazy to move around, which can easily lead to dysfunction of the spleen and stomach, leading to the endogenous development of water, dampness, phlegm, and turbidity. This causes excessive dampness inside and outside the human body, and the Qing Yang Qi cannot nourish the head, head, and limbs, causing symptoms of fatigue, drowsiness, and sleepiness in the limbs.
If you want to get rid of this state of getting sleepier and sleepier, you can adjust your sleeping habits and schedule your sleep by to improve; Erchen Decoction and Wendan Decoction in clinical Chinese medicine are both commonly used prescriptions for drying dampness and resolving phlegm; In addition, there are many Chinese medicinal materials around us that have the same origin as medicine and food, which can be used in cooking When cooking, add it for proper conditioning, such as: For coughs with excessive phlegm caused by stagnation of damp phlegm, you can add some tangerine peel when cooking ribs or stewed meat; for sleepiness caused by insufficient Qi and blood, you can eat astragalus, yam, , Jujube, longan and other ; In normal times, it is recommended to carry out appropriate exercise according to one's own situation, such as walking outdoors at the right time every day, which can boost the circulation of qi and blood throughout the body.

In our human body, there are many There are many "organs" with good therapeutic effects, which are called "acupoints" in traditional Chinese medicine, and are also commonly referred to as "acupoints" by ordinary people. For diseases such as summer-dampness, the commonly used acupuncture points are:

Sanjiao is one of the " six organs" of the " viscera theory" of traditional Chinese medicine. It is the main channel for human body's water and liquid metabolism. It can discharge the dampness in the body through the large intestine and bladder in the form of stool.
