I'm here to send health
In the season of severe climate change and active influenza virus, how to effectively prevent diseases has become the focus of public attention. This article will combine the theory of traditional Chinese medicine from a scientific point of view, ** how to carry out effective preventive measures in the case of large temperature fluctuations and rampant influenza viruses.
1. The relationship between temperature fluctuations and influenza viruses.
Fluctuations in temperature can affect the body's immune system, resulting in a decrease in immunity, thus providing an opportunity for the invasion of influenza viruses. Influenza viruses survive longer and are more transmissible in cold, dry environments. Therefore, it is especially important to prevent influenza during the season when the temperature changes drastically.
2. The application of traditional Chinese medicine theory in the prevention of influenza.
Traditional Chinese medicine theory believes that the occurrence of diseases is the result of the combined action of internal and external factors. In the season of high incidence of influenza, we should pay attention to recuperating healthy qi, enhancing physical fitness, and improving disease resistance.
1.Nourish the spleen and stomach: The spleen and stomach are the foundation of nurture, the source of qi and blood biochemistry. If the spleen and stomach function is strong, the qi and blood are sufficient, the righteous qi is vigorous, and the disease resistance is strong. You can nourish your spleen and stomach by eating warm, easy-to-digest foods.
2.Warm and sunny to ward off cold: When the temperature fluctuates greatly, we should pay attention to keeping warm to prevent the invasion of cold evil. Moxibustion, cupping and other traditional Chinese medicine external treatments can be used to warm the meridians and dispel cold.
3.Heat clearing and detoxification: Influenza virus is easy to form heat poison in the body, so heat clearing and detoxification drugs should be appropriately used, such as honeysuckle, forsythia, etc.
3. Specific preventive measures.
1.Enhance personal hygiene: Wash your hands frequently and use alcohol-based sanitizer to reduce your exposure to the virus.
2.Eat a reasonable diet: Increase the intake of vegetables and fruits, maintain a balanced diet, and improve immunity.
3.Moderate exercise: Proper physical exercise can strengthen physical fitness and improve resistance to diseases.
4.Get enough sleep: Get enough sleep to help repair and strengthen your immune system.
5.Vaccinations: Get your flu shot up to date as recommended by your doctor.
6.Traditional Chinese medicine prevention: According to the individual's constitution, under the guidance of a Chinese medicine practitioner, take traditional Chinese medicine such as Yuping Fengsan and Yinqiao Jiedu Tablets for prevention.
4. Prevention of special populations.
1.Elderly: The elderly have weakened immunity, so they should pay attention to keeping warm and avoid going to dense places.
2.Children: Children's immune system is not yet perfect, so they should pay attention to personal hygiene and nutrition.
3.Patients with chronic diseases: Patients with chronic diseases should take regular medication to control the underlying disease and avoid exacerbation.
V. Conclusion. In the season when the temperature fluctuates greatly and the influenza virus is rampant, the risk of influenza infection can be effectively reduced through scientific preventive measures and the concept of traditional Chinese medicine. The public should raise their awareness of self-protection and actively take preventive measures to protect their health.
