Traditional Chinese medicine often says that the back is the sea of yang energy. If you find that your back is cold and sometimes it is difficult to move, it may even feel like a cramp. If you catch a slight cold or blow some wind, it will become more serious. Usually, the hands and feet are still cold, and it is difficult to warm them, and they are more likely to get sick and catch a cold.
In this case, we have to consider whether Yang Qi is insufficient . Yang Qi has the function of resisting cold and warming our body. However, if there is less Yang Qi in the "Sea of Yang Qi", we will naturally feel cold and painful.
At the same time, the Yang Qi in the body is not enough to resist the cold air from the outside. This is not particularly obvious in summer. In winter, there is more cold air outside, which competes with our body, so we are more likely to feel the cold and our body is weak.
Today, Dr. Liu will share with you a small recipe of two herbs to help you replenish your body's yang energy and improve your body's ability to resist cold, so that you will no longer have a chill in your back and be afraid of the cold. The two herbs are astragalus and Codonopsis pilosula .
Let’s talk about astragalus first. The medicinal properties of astragalus are lukewarm. It can replenish qi while boosting our yang qi. It can also nourish the lungs and strengthen the spleen and improve our body’s own ability to transform qi, so that our body can produce healthy qi and yang qi on its own.
Then there is the medicine Codonopsis pilosula. Some friends may say that after using astragalus, they will get angry. We combine the effect of Codonopsis pilosula to nourish blood and promote fluid production, and compete with the effect of astragalus to help fire and generate heat. In this way, while it warms and replenishes yang energy, it also protects the yin blood in our body, preventing fire, damaging body fluids and consuming blood.
These two medicines are very common. We take an appropriate amount and drink it with water. If you say, you are originally Yang deficiency constitution , and now you just feel wind and cold, have a cold, nasal congestion, runny nose, and the phlegm you spit out is thinner and whiter. At this time, we can also add a few slices of ginger to the water. To improve the ability of Fangzi to spread wind and cold .
At the end of the day, Dr. Liu needs to remind everyone that our traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to syndrome differentiation and treatment. This small prescription is suitable for people with weak yang energy. However, if you have a physical constitution of yin deficiency and excessive fire , which is manifested in dry and red tongue, frequent dry mouth, and red face, this prescription is not suitable for use.
and above are what Dr. Liu shared today. If there is anything unclear, you can leave a message in the comment area for discussion. I will reply to you when I have time. I'm Dr. Liu, see you next time.
