In the wax month, the original meaning of "wax" is "dried meat". The weather in December of the lunar calendar is dry and rainless, and the northwest monsoon blows, which is most suitable for air-drying to make lap-mei, so it is also called wax moon.
The wax moon begins on the winter solstice, which is the coldest month of the year and the month of the year-end festival in ancient times. Pay more attention to the handover of the old and the new in this year, which can help the body lay a good foundation for the new year.
Hidden yang energy, avoid cold, avoid heat
Zunsheng Eight Notes" says: "In the month of winter, the heaven and the earth are occluded, the yang is latent in the yin, all things are hidden, go to the cold and the temperature, do not sweat profusely, in order to help the stomach." Don't be too warm, don't snow hard. ”
The wax moon is the last month of winter, also called the season winter. At this time, the heavens and the earth are closed, the yang energy is hidden, and everything is lifeless. Health preservation should be like all things in "hibernation", hiding yang energy in the body to avoid harming the body's roots.
Hidden yang energy is not simply to avoid the cold, but to be close to the heat.
The wax moon is the coldest 30 days of the year, the ancient living conditions are not as good as now, Tibetan yang energy should be kept warm, less going out in the wind and snow, so as not to be consumed by the wind, cold and evil too much.
Now that the cold is good, it is necessary to pay attention to sitting and lying down for a long time to move the lower limbs, circulate qi and blood, and avoid yang qi depression in the body, body heat, but insufficient yang qi in the limbs, cold hands and feet, and frostbite troubles.
Hiding yang qi can't make the body too hot, so as to be warm and not sweat.
Too much heat will cause ** to vent, not only easy to get sick, but also cause the yang energy hidden in the body to float on the surface of the body, affecting the spleen and stomach yang qi in the body.
The spleen and stomach are the main source of digestion and absorption of food nutrients, and are the source of qi and blood. In winter, it is cold, the yang energy is included, the spleen and stomach are full of yang qi, the appetite is good, eat more and absorb more, so that the qi and blood can remain strong.
If it is too hot in winter and sweats, the yang qi of the spleen and stomach is led to the surface of the body, and it is easy to have digestive problems such as lack of appetite, stomach bloating, diarrhea, acid reflux, etc., and the body's qi and blood will be relatively weak in the second year.
When you sleep at night, you can put a navel patch on it to regulate the spleen and stomach and improve the spleen and yang!
It is created by Master Nan Huaijin according to the Taoist health secret recipe, with mugwort, pepper and longan meat, these three things are crushed and pinched into balls, stuffed into the navel, don't underestimate this navel, it will be absorbed, you must know that when we are still in the mother's womb, eating and breathing are dependent on the navel.
And these three flavors are all warm and hot dredged, mugwort leaves are bitter, raw and cooked hot, for the pure yang nature, through the twelve meridians;Zanthoxylum pepper is an inconspicuous thing, it is indeed a good thing that can dissipate the cold in the warmth, especially if the body is blocked by the deficiency of cold and stasis, the pepper can disperse the cold, the cold is gone, and the dredge of wormwood is also passed;Longan meat is mainly used to reconcile these two flavors, benefit qi and blood, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and is suitable for those who are weak and weak.
The combination of these three kinds, the cold qi in the body, especially in the middle of the coke, is dispersed, the yang qi is replenished, and the position of the stasis is opened, so the heart fire above us can naturally pass smoothly, and when the fire is drawn down, it will naturally not look for our nose, pharynx, and mouth anymore.
The production of this navel moxibustion is very simple, longan meat, Sichuan pepper, and moxa wool are in a ratio of 2:1:1, or according to this dose, 20 longan meat, 30 grams of Sichuan pepper, and 1 moxa stick. These are broken and crumpled into balls, stuffed into the navel before going to bed, and sealed with medical patches or plastic wrap.
Ready-made navel moxibustion, on the basis of these three flavors, also added sour jujube kernels and wolfberry, one can help the input of yang energy, but also can calm the nerves, the surface is also added with pepper powder, accelerate the body's absorption, non-woven fabric for external use, good air permeability.
Each one is wrapped in wax paper, sealed in a glass jar, and can be taken out and stuffed when used, which is very convenient.
It is recommended to stick not only the navel, but also one on the soles of each foot, which helps us to guide the kidney water upward, so as to promote the intersection of heart fire and kidney water, and the fire can be lowered faster.
If the body is particularly weak, stop for three days and one day to give our body a buffer, and gradually the blocked places will be dredged, and the body will be very comfortable, and the feeling of fatigue and fatigue will be cleared out along with these stasis.

Xiao Xuan Yang Qi not only drives away the cold, but also fills the heart with hope.
The winter solstice is a yang birth, when a new yang energy has begun to grow, but it has not yet grown to the extent that it can change all environments. The five luck and six qi often mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine also start the new year in the great cold solar term of the lunar month. At this time, it is the key accumulation period before the yang energy is completely raised in spring, and it is necessary to recuperate and recharge for health.

In addition, it is also suitable to do some light exercise, eat some foods that can dredge qi and blood and help the body generate yang energy, such as leeks, shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms, grapefruit, oranges, sprouts, onions, ginger, etc. Help the body's yang energy sprout like a sprouted seed.
The newly sprouted yang energy can help the body fight against the gloom of the cold winter, and friends who are prone to depression and depression, depression, and inner grief are especially needed.
