From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, "people have nine qualities". A person's physical health is often linked to physical fitness, but these physical fitness is related to your daily care. For example, taking a bath can effectively remove residual garbage and toxins from the body, making your body and mind more happy and comfortable, and on the other hand, it may also damage the yang energy in your body.
I wonder if you have ever heard of it, "Take a bath in the morning to eliminate yang energy, and bath in the evening to generate moisture." Many people cannot deeply understand the true meaning of this sentence. After hearing this sentence, they don’t know how to take a bath. Is there any scientific reason? It’s better to read it together.
Where we understand what is yang energy and moisture?
In fact, moisture is a traditional Chinese medicine theoretical concept. When the climate becomes abnormal or the flesh and blood cannot be well debugged, moisture will become some pathogenic factors, causing the disease to develop pathogenic evil, that is, "dampness".
Moisture is always in the body of each cell tissue , and it is constantly metabolized, producing metabolic waste that cannot be excreted in time and accumulates in the body, and will be affected by many factors. In the final analysis, it depends on the strength of the human spleen and stomach transportation function. People with congenital spleen and stomach weakness are more likely to have dampness in the body.
Yang Qi is the driving force for the human body's substance metabolism and physiological functions, and plays an important role in the human life and health. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that yang qi yin and blood are necessary conditions for the formation of life. " Huangdi Neijing·Suwen " says that yang is to protect the outside but to be solid, which means that the human body has the ability to resist external evil, and this ability is yang energy.
The yang energy in the human body comes from two aspects. On the one hand, the congenital nature comes from the father and mother, and on the other hand, the acquired nature is mainly transformed from the essence of water and grain absorbed from food, so replenishing yang energy can start from the acquired.
As the saying goes, "Take a bath in the morning to extinguish the yang energy, and take a bath in the evening to generate moisture." When is the best time to take a bath?
- Bath in the morning to extinguish the yang energy
The plan for one day is in the morning. The morning is the stage of yang energy generation. Taking a bath in the morning can easily damage the yang energy in the body, because the temperature is relatively low after getting up in the morning, and taking a bath is a physical job, which is easy to consume yang energy. At this time, it is easier to cause the study and work experience to be unable to concentrate.
After getting up in the morning, taking a bath immediately will also consume a lot of energy. Because people with low blood sugar or weak body are more likely to experience symptoms such as fainting. After all, you are in a state of fatigue in the morning, and it is more likely to cause cold invasion when taking a bath.
At the same time, males are yang and females are yin. Whether men and women will speed up the yang energy in the body after getting up in the morning, consume the phenomenon of damp and cold constitution, and even lead to obstruction of internal organs detoxification. For health reasons, it is not recommended to take a bath in the morning.
- Take a bath at night and get damp
Most people choose to take a bath at night because they have been busy all day and take a hot bath after get off work. They can eliminate the fatigue of the day and sleep more peacefully at night.
The saying that taking a bath at night causes moisture is too one-sided. If you take a bath at night, if you don’t dry it in time, especially if your hair is not blown, falling asleep at night may cause cold and dampness to enter the body and catch a cold. Therefore, you must dry it at night, so it will be helpful to the body. The key is that taking a bath at night can also help you lose weight.
Speed up blood circulation during bathing. You cannot go to bed immediately after bathing. Two hours before going to bed, taking a bath will help improve the quality of sleep. Overall, there is no fixed time to take a bath, and you can do it according to your own habits.
Why do some people still rub mud out of mud when taking a bath every day?
In fact, the mud rubbed from bathing is not the dirty thing that most people know. It is composed of many substances. Dust is only a small part of it. In addition to dust, there are also oils, dandruff, and sweat. The substance with the most sweat should be dandruff.
Even if you take a bath every day, you will rub out mud, and the mud out is more dander. If you take a frequent bath, the more dander the mud inside, the more dander the inside, many people feel that their bodies are still dirty when they take a bath every day. It is not ruled out that some people are exposed to more dust in their workplaces.
It is necessary to remind you here that even if the mud is rubbed every day, most of the mud is dandruff tissue, so there is no need to take a bath every day. Sometimes you only need to wash it. If you don’t pay attention, you may have skin problems.
