The second phase of Project Stellar
The Great Aunt is a special period that every woman can't get around. In traditional Chinese medicine, a woman's menstrual cycle is closely related to her health, so whenever the aunt comes, we need to pay extra attention to some things to ensure good health. In this article, we will introduce in detail the six taboos during the Great Aunt period, hoping to bring some beneficial health knowledge to female friends.
First, avoid eating raw and cold foods. During the period of the great aunt, the uterine meridians of women are not smooth, and if you consume too much raw and cold food, it will cause the uterine blood circulation to slow down, and even cause problems such as dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation. Therefore, you should try to avoid the intake of raw and cold food, such as ice cream, cold drinks, etc., during the period of being a great aunt, so as not to bring discomfort to the body.
Second, avoid exposure to cold. During the period of the great aunt, the resistance of the female body will decrease slightly, and if it is exposed to the cold environment for a long time, it will cause the uterus to be cold, which will then cause dysmenorrhea and other diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to keeping warm during the period of the great aunt and avoid prolonged contact with cold water, cold wind, etc.
Third, avoid overexertion and overexercise. During the period of the great aunt, the female body is relatively weak, and overwork and excessive exercise at this time will lead to the loss of qi and blood, which is easy to cause menstrual irregularities, blood deficiency and other diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to appropriately reduce the frequency of physical labor and strenuous exercise during the period of the great aunt, and maintain a good state of rest.
Fourth, avoid spicy and stimulating foods. During the period of the great aunt, the endometrium of women is in the shedding phase, and if too much spicy and stimulating food is ingested at this time, the uterine shedding will be aggravated, causing longer menstrual periods and more severe menstrual cramps. Therefore, the intake of spicy and stimulating foods, such as chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, etc., should be avoided as much as possible during the period of the Great Aunt.
Fifth, avoid excessive consumption of sweets and greasy foods. During the period of great aunthood, the female body's ability to digest and absorb food is poor, and excessive consumption of sweets and greasy foods at this time will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, affect the digestive function, and easily cause abdominal distension, abdominal pain and other uncomfortable symptoms. So, try to avoid overeating, overeating sweets, and greasy foods during your time as a great aunt.
Sixth, avoid worries and mood swings. If the mood is too nervous, depressed, anxious, etc., it will affect the body's qi and blood operation, and it is easy to lead to menstrual irregularities, dysmenorrhea and other diseases. Therefore, it is important to maintain a good attitude during the period of great aunthood and avoid excessive worries and mood swings.
To sum up, we need to abide by some corresponding taboos during the aunt period, maintain a good diet and Xi habits, reasonable exercise and rest, and maintain a stable mood in order to maintain our health. Of course, in addition, we can also use traditional Chinese medicine theories and some famous prescriptions for conditioning, such as choosing some warm and tonic Chinese medicine dietary therapy, such as angelica mutton soup, ginger jujube brown sugar water, etc., to relieve problems such as dysmenorrhea and menstrual irregularities.
