Sometimes we feel joint pain, especially in the hot summer months, and even in the heat, we still feel the cold pain like a cool breeze inside. In addition, the pain is accompanied by numbness in the hands and feet. This recipe can fill the gaps in the bones with yang energy, thereby improving the symptoms of wind-cold and damp arthritis.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this pain may be caused by the invasion of the meridians by the evil of cold and dampness. The cold will shrink and pull, while the wet will make the stickiness more pronounced. If you usually live in a relatively humid environment and your physique is not strong enough, you will easily feel the invasion of cold and dampness, and cause the blood vessels and muscles and bones to become stiff, and the qi, blood and yang qi will not flow easily, and you will naturally feel leg pain.
In traditional Chinese medicine, this pain is called "musculoskeletal pain". Pain in the muscles and bones is caused by the evil of cold and dampness in the muscles and veins. Therefore, through Zhang Zhongjing's prescription, the muscles and veins can be warmed, and the cold and dampness can be removed, thereby relieving this pain.
In addition, we also need to mention some of the symptoms of cold and dampness, such as cold intolerance, cold hands and feet, which still feel cold even in the hot summer months. In addition, I felt a pain like a pinprick when I was exposed to a slight wind chill, so I didn't dare to wear short-sleeved shorts. And, even if it's hot, you can feel sick because you can feel stomach pain and diarrhea as soon as you eat something cold.
The cinnamon aconite soup we are going to introduce today is a good recipe. The recipe consists of cinnamon sticks, aconite, ginger, jujubes, and boiled licorice. The medicinal properties of cinnamon branches are pungent and hot, which can enter the heart meridian and kidney meridian and play the role of replenishing fire and helping yang. Because traditional Chinese medicine believes that the heart is the main blood vessel, and the kidney is the main bone, so tonifying the kidney yang and heart yang can bring yang energy to the blood veins, muscles and bones of the whole body, thus dissipating cold and relieving pain.
Aconite can diffuse wind and cold, assist Guizhi to drive out the cold and dampness in the joints, and at the same time can also warm the meridians, laying the foundation for the smooth operation of yang qi and qi and blood. Guizhi aconite soup can be used for various symptoms caused by cold and dampness, such as cold hands and feet, pain, diarrhea, constipation, etc.
Ginger is a flavored medicine that can not only diffuse wind and cold, but also warm cold and dampness. For those stubborn cold and dampness hidden in the cracks of the bones, ginger has a good effect. Finally, the addition of jujube and licorice to the recipe can prevent the medicine from harming our body's righteousness.
