As winter deepens, the snowfall season has arrived. This is the critical period for health preservation. As an experienced veteran Chinese medicine practitioner, I would like to introduce some health preservation methods and the application of Chinese herbal medicine to help you maintain good health during the snowy season.
First of all, the temperature plummets during heavy snowfall, and cold and dry weather can easily lead to dehydration. Therefore, it is important to focus on hydration and maintain adequate water intake. At the same time, you should avoid excessive hot and dry diet, and you can drink more warm drinks, such as ginger tea, red dates and wolfberry tea, etc., to increase the moisturization in the body.
Secondly, in the heavy snow season, the yang energy of the human body has entered the weakest moment, at this time we must pay attention to keeping warm and avoid cold. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cold weather can easily lead to poor circulation of qi and blood, which can lead to various diseases. Therefore, we should wear warm clothes, especially to protect our waist and legs, and avoid staying in cold environments for long periods of time.
At the same time, heavy snow is also the season for colds and respiratory diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that when the body's yang energy is stimulated by cold, it will lead to a decrease in the body's defense mechanisms, making it susceptible to viral infections. In order to prevent colds and respiratory diseases, we should pay attention to strengthening physical exercise, maintaining good physical fitness, and improving immunity. In addition, you can also take some Chinese herbs in moderation for prevention, such as astragalus, angelica, ginseng, etc., these herbs have the effect of improving immunity.
In addition, the heavy snow season is also the season for bad spleen and stomach. Cold weather can lead to a decrease in the body's digestive capacity, which can easily cause gastrointestinal problems. Therefore, in terms of diet, we should avoid raw and cold foods, and can eat more warm foods, such as jujubes, yams, ginger, etc., which have the effect of warming and nourishing the spleen and stomach, which can help us maintain good digestive function.
Finally, heavy snow is still the season that can cause dryness and chapping. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that ** is the first barrier of the human body, and keeping ** moist and soft is essential to protect human health. Therefore, we should pay attention to replenishing water, use some moisturizing skin care products appropriately, and at the same time can maintain the best health through dietary therapy, such as eating more vitamin E-rich foods, such as nuts, beans, etc., these foods have a good protective effect on health.
Heavy snow season is a critical time for health and well-being. Through a reasonable diet, warmth, exercise, and the application of Chinese herbal medicines, we can maintain good health, prevent colds and respiratory diseases, and protect the spleen, stomach and **. We hope that you will be able to stay healthy and have a comfortable and enjoyable winter during the heavy snow season
