It just so happens that tomorrow is cold dew , and the temperature gradually turns from hot to cool. According to traditional Chinese medicine, it is advisable to "nourish" and "moisturize dryness" in autumn and winter health. Today I will tell you about this topic.
01
In autumn, health should be moistened and dried
Dry is the main qi of autumn. The weather is converging in autumn, the climate is dry, and it loses moisture, and nature presents a scene of solemnity. If too much dryness is damaged and causes diseases, it will cause dryness.
"Su Wen·Yang Eyes and Eyes" says: "Dryness is better than dryness." Dryness is dry and easy to damage body fluids, such as dry mouth and nose, dry throat and thirst, dry skin, and even chapped hair, short urination, dry and stools, etc.
Dryness can easily damage the lungs. The lungs are delicate organs, they like clear and moisturized but hate dryness, and they open up the orifices in the nose, and the lungs are directly connected to the natural atmosphere. Dry evils often enter from the mouth and nose, so they are most likely to damage the lung fluid, which affects the descending of lung qi and , and even the autumn dryness damages the lung meridians, causing dry cough and less phlegm, or the phlegm is stuck and difficult to get, or blood in the phlegm, and even wheezing and chest pain. Because the lungs and large intestine are exposed to internal and internal, lung fluid is damaged, and the large intestine is lost, dry and poor stools can be seen.
The climate in autumn is dry and the temperature difference between day and night is large. People's emotions are prone to fluctuations and they are also irritable.
