In our daily lives, colds and fevers are a common bodily reaction and a state of stress to our body's immune system. Especially during special periods, such as the epidemic, we need to pay more attention to and take care of our physical health. As an experienced veteran Chinese medicine practitioner, I will combine the theory of Chinese medicine, quote ancient and modern famous prescriptions, and share some scientific and practical tips for you. I hope it can help everyone better prevent and cope with colds and fevers.
First of all, we need to realize that colds and fevers are caused by the invasion of external evils, which leads to a decrease in our body's immunity. Therefore, the importance of preventing colds and fevers is highlighted. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the basic way to prevent colds and fevers is to strengthen one's own immunity. To do this, we can start from the following aspects:
1.Reasonable diet: Health preservation starts with diet. Adequate intake of foods rich in vitamins, minerals, and protein can boost our immunity. For example, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, nuts and seeds, and eat animal meat and soy products in moderation. At the same time, avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, such as chili peppers, coffee, etc., so as not to harm our spleen and stomach system and affect the improvement of immunity.
2.Active exercise: A moderate amount of physical activity can boost our immunity. Depending on your personal situation, you can choose to walk, jog, tai chi and other exercises. Exercise can increase blood circulation, strengthen the function of the respiratory tract and immune system, and improve the body's resistance.
3.Regular work and rest: Maintaining a good routine is the key to improving immunity. Go to bed early and wake up early to get enough sleep to help your body recover and repair. In addition, avoiding overexertion and maintaining a good mood are also important factors.
In addition, if we accidentally catch a cold or fever, we can also do it through some Chinese medicine** to relieve the symptoms and promote**. Here are some of the most commonly used TCM tips:
1.Diet: During colds and fevers, you can adjust your diet appropriately and choose foods that are easy to digest and nutrient-rich. For example, eat some light porridge, mung bean soup, egg custard, etc.
2.Traditional Chinese Medicine**: Traditional Chinese medicine has unique therapeutic properties that can help us relieve the symptoms of colds and fevers. For example, boiling water with ginger and cinnamon sticks can play a role in dissipating cold and evil, warming the meridian and dissipating cold. In addition, granules, oral liquids and other dosage forms made of traditional Chinese medicine can be used according to the doctor's guidance.
3.Moxibustion**: Using the heat generated by the burning of moxa wool, it directly acts on the acupuncture points or meridians, which can enhance the circulation of the body surface, promote the flow of qi and blood, and achieve the effect of expelling evil spirits. You can choose appropriate acupuncture points for moxibustion, such as large vertebrae, wind pool and other acupuncture points.
In addition, we also need to pay attention to maintaining indoor ventilation, washing hands frequently, and avoiding contact with pathogens and infectious agents. In case of cold and fever symptoms, seek medical attention in time and follow the doctor's advice**.
In short, to take care of ourselves during the special period, we need to pay full attention to and take care of our physical health from the aspects of diet, exercise, work and rest. When it comes to colds and fevers, TCM** has unique advantages that can help us alleviate symptoms and improve immunity.
