Every time the season changes, it is a period when the body will frequently have problems, especially in spring, and this year's five luck and six luck also show that in the early luck, the wood luck is too much, and the fire luck is not enough. To put it simply, it is a year when there is a lack of fire, a lack of yang, and a cold climate.
In this way, the problem in the heart and kidney will be greater, and there will be more people with yang deficiency than before, and friends who are deficient in yang energy will have lower energy this year, and the Jiachen year will be the same year, and the climate change will be greater every year of the same year.
During this period of the beginning of the qi, the main qi is yin and windy wood, and the polite is too yin and damp soil, and it may be damp and cold weather before the spring equinox, so you need to pay attention to keeping warm. At the same time, it is also necessary to prevent dampness and fire, and during this period of the first qi, it is easy to appear hot, such as thirst and dry mouth, dizziness, headache, drowsiness and so on.
In this climate, people who are deficient in yang qi are also deficient in lung qi, and they are easily infected by these cold and dampness, headache and brain fever.
Since the ancient ancestors told us, spring cover autumn frost, less sickness, medicine king Sun Simiao also said in the book, do not wear thin clothes in spring, it is easy to catch a cold, vomit and diarrhea, headache. For example, in the Jiangnan area, it is cold and hot, and many people also take off their winter clothes and put on light spring clothes, but it is still a little too early.
In fact, spring is not only to keep warm from the cold, but also to prevent the wind, the wind evil is the first of the six evils, the most hurtful person, although the wind and wood in the first half of the year have some restraint, but also pay attention everywhere, after all, the cold and damp are still there, a little thief wind can drill into our body, causing discomfort.
The most afraid of the wind is the back of our head, shoulders and neck, it is best to wear a thin scarf, or wear a high-necked clothes, don't let the wind chill take advantage of the loophole, and our feet are also afraid of the wind and cold wind, don't show your feet and necks now, wear socks well.
It's just that when it comes to spring covering, many people don't cover it right, and they cover themselves with fire, cover themselves with sweat, and then blow the wind, and it's even more over. There are 4 pits related to spring covering, and we must avoid them. Spring cover is not the same as messy covering, and covering the right position can block the disease.
1.Don't pay attention to timing
Many parents hear that the spring cover is a force to give the child three layers inside and three layers outside, regardless of whether the outside temperature changes, insist on covering, even if the temperature is very high at noon, they do not dare to give the child ** clothes, afraid of cold, we ourselves are the same, thinking that the child only sweats, it is not cold.
In fact, the problem of sweating is even greater, at this time the pores will open, and it is easier to catch a cold and fever when the wind blows.
2.There is no point in the covering
For example, our body, in addition to the head and neck, and feet should be kept warm and covered, and the back, waist, and abdomen should not be affected by the cold wind, otherwise it is easy to damage the yang energy of our body, easy to have backache, and diarrhea.
Generally speaking, we can keep the lower body warm, and there is no problem with the upper body wearing a little thinner, which is conducive to the upward movement of yang, especially the head, don't keep covering it, the head is the meeting of the sun, you don't need to wear a thick hat in spring, wear a little thinner, and prevent the north wind from blowing. But the back of the neck still needs to be covered.
3.Dressing too tightly
Many friends in order to dress well, will choose some cautious and slim clothes, spring remember not to wear too tight clothes, spring is a sparse, diastolic season, trees grow unrestrained, our body too, to make the body feel relaxed and smooth, rather than blindly imprisoned. Loose, warm, soft, skin-friendly clothing is best.
4.Don't sweat and take it off too quickly
In fact, compared to ourselves, children are the most difficult, they will not know how to say cold and hot, many parents are afraid of their children cold, to wear a lot of clothes for their children, children go to school do not know to take off, cover out a sweat, go out of the wind followed by a cold and fever. But wear less, and I am afraid that the child will have a cold and runny nose, and in the end, the wind and cold will blow in, and it will also be a cold and fever.
Moreover, children's yang energy itself is more than that of our adults, and they always sweat, which is easy to hurt the fluid in the child's body, making the child irritable and angry.
Studies have shown that for children, a temperature of 15 degrees is the dividing line. Above this temperature, you can appropriately reduce your clothes, and below this temperature, you should add clothes in time. And the temperature difference between day and night is greater than 8, to cover, the temperature rises less than 7 days, to cover. The picture below is attached with a very practical dressing guide, which we can refer to in combination with our own situation.
If we don't want to wear too much and the sense of restraint is too heavy, we can also put on a warm shoulder or belly pocket inside, which is the so-called three-layer and five-layer, which is not as good as a horizontal waist, the abdomen is warm, and the whole body is also warm.
The body should also be covered: cultivate righteousness
The spring cover is in place, which is equivalent to adding a strong layer of external defense. And we should also pay attention to the national defense construction in our bodies. Share the spring cover in the body with two tricks, and everyone will cultivate righteousness together.
One action: exercise the lungs to strengthen the qi.
The lungs are mainly fur, and the lungs are full of qi and blood, and the immunity of the guard surface is strong. Teacher @元-Mi Luo recommends doing the Lotus Lingbo pose, which is very suitable for exercising the lung meridian at this time, stabilizing the strength of the body surface and protecting it, and it is best as a short morning exercise.
Note: The schematic diagram is from the "24 Solar Terms Health Regimen Method".
Sitting on a yoga mat or hard bed, your legs are naturally crossed, and you can have a loose plate, a single plate, or a double plate. Hold your hands on the ground on either side, slowly and forcefully support your body, and then rock your body back and forth like a swing.
If you are old or sick for a long time, or have poor physical strength, you can cross your legs naturally, support your hands on your sides, and lift a little harder to put your feet on the ground. Take it gradually and stick to it for as long as you can.
Don't push too hard at first, the key to pursuing the height of the buttocks off the ground is the support of the arm, as long as the arm is exerting, the meridians will be exercised. If the movement is in place, the body will soon heat up and sweat slightly, and the exercise effect will come out.
This action can open up the 6 meridians inside and outside the arm, stimulate the lung meridian qi and blood, and the lung qi is enough to naturally guard the qi and solidify it, and the wind and cold cannot invade. And the pericardial meridian will also be stimulated, so that the heart can be better protected. One action can nourish the heart and lungs, and people with weak physique, susceptibility to colds, cold hands and feet, and shortness of breath are best to stick to practice.
A ball regulates the spleen and stomach, dispels cold and dampness
Some people always feel that health is troublesome, difficult, so they never try, in fact, the simpler the recipe is sometimes more effective, mugwort, longan meat and pepper, these three are very easy to buy, especially longan meat and pepper, which are usually eaten.
It is effective in personal testing, the effect of dispelling dampness and cold and dampness is good, I follow this method to dispel dampness and cold, I can feel that the body is relaxed, and the red pimples like damp poison rarely recur.
And I unintentionally feel more comfortable in the spleen and stomach, the first few times I pasted it, I will have a feeling of diarrhea, but I don't feel too empty after pulling, it's more like cleaning up the garbage in the intestines. On the contrary, the lower abdomen, which had been cool before, became warm and comfortable.
Take advantage of the end of winter to discharge the dampness and cold in the body and improve your own yang energy, so as to achieve less illness throughout the spring and summer! Besides, this is much more convenient than moxibustion.
My mother has a yang deficiency constitution, and she has to do moxibustion every once in a while, but she is always easy to burn if she doesn't get it right.
Moxa. It is a soft and fine item like cotton obtained by wormwood leaves after repeated pestle, hammering, crushing, and screening out impurities and dust. That is, the raw material of moxa sticks used in our usual moxibustion, moxa is the nature of pure yang, which can drive away cold and dampness, activate the meridians, and open up qi.
Pepper. The effect of dissipating cold and dampness is good, passing through three cokes, warming the spleen and stomach, and it is also a condiment that we often use in stews or stir-fries.
Longan meat. Into the heart meridian and spleen and stomach meridians, beneficial to qi and blood, strengthen the spleen and stomach, mainly for the role of tonic, like we are prone to qi deficiency and fatigue in summer, you can eat some longan meat.
The combination of these three flavors dispels the cold qi of the spleen and stomach, improves the yang qi, and has the effect of calming the mind and calming the nerves. It is suitable for people who are now seriously depleted by yang energy.
The production method is also shared with everyone, and you can try it if you need it.
Ingredients: Longan meat, Sichuan pepper, mugwort in a ratio of 2:1:1, you can also follow this dose, 20 longan meat, 30 grams of Sichuan pepper, ** moxa 1. Then prepare some medical tape, if you are allergic to tape, get some gauze or plastic wrap.
Method: Pick out the excess impurities and pepper rods in the peppercorns, put the peppercorns and longan meat (pitted) into the food processor and break them; Take out the moxa wool from the moxa sticks, add them to the blender little by little, and continue to stir until they become a sticky that can be kneaded into balls. When you go to bed at night, put it on your belly button, fix it with medical tape, and take it out when you get up the next morning.
Note: Take it off before 10 o'clock the next day, don't stick it for a long time, if you want to go to this false fire in the hot and cold, not only in the navel to be pasted, don't forget the two springs on the soles of your feet, otherwise this fire will not only go down, but also easy to add fuel to the fire.
If you don't want to take the time to do it yourself, you can also use ready-made belly button stickers, it is recommended that you stick it for three days and stop for one day, and it is best not to stick it during women's menstruation. Personally, I like the premenstrual patch, the lower abdomen is warm and comfortable.
If you also have the following conditions, use moxibustion to regulate the body.
1.Eating raw and cold food is easy to diarrhea and abdominal pain;
2.spleen and stomach deficiency, cold, acne;
3.Sensitivity to cold, often cold hands and feet;
4.cold abdomen, cold uterus, dysmenorrhea;
5.The face and hair are oily;
6.Poor sleep and heavy tooth marks on both sides of the tongue;
7.Weak resistance and susceptibility to cold.
But these 2 types of people, don't post!
1.Children, children are pure yang bodies, if they are pasted, it is easy to make children irritable and noisy, affecting development.
2.If the body is too cold, just like the above said, stick two in the place where the spring springs in the center of the foot, or wait for the fire to go down and recuperate.
In addition, we can also use food therapy to nourish the righteous qi, there is an ingredient that can not only replenish the lungs, but also strengthen the spleen and stomach, the effect of replenishing qi and replenishing deficiency is very good, and it is a cheap ingredient, everyone can afford to eat, it is yam. It can not only replenish qi but also nourish yin, not cold or dry, and replenish but not stagnate.
Tsinghua University Press, Chinese Materia Medica
If you also have heart and lung deficiency, it is suitable to use yam powder to replenish the heart and lungs, cough and phlegm, restlessness, and shortness of breath can be improved.
*The great doctor Zhang Xichun said that it is the supreme product among tonics, because it is very peaceful, can be used every day, has a lot of nutrients, and is very easy to digest.
My colleague's family uses yam all year round, and the child no longer coughs, spits out a lot of phlegm, has a better appetite, has smooth stools, and has no bad breath. I'm still taller.
When adults catch a cold or get drunk, they drink yam, and the body recovers very quickly.
At the beginning of the cold, boiled yam and drank it, and it got better quickly. There are also users who have eaten yam powder every night for half a month, ** tightened a lot, their faces were full, and they were bright, and their colleagues asked if they had done medical beauty. This is because the spleen, lungs, and kidneys have been replenished, and the foundation is good.
In addition, when choosing yams, we should smell the taste first, and then look at the color, because the best of this yam should be naturally dried, not fumigated by sulfur, which is smoked by sulfur not only tastes sour, but also smells and quality is not as good as drying.
Finally, let's mention the specific method of boiling yam: first take 7 8 pieces of yam, rinse them with water first, put them in a pot, add water to cover two fingers of yam, and then boil, then turn to low heat and cook for 15 minutes before drinking; Of course, after drinking the yam, we can't waste the yam tablets, it's better to dip it in some sugar and eat it.
Of course, if you feel that buying yams, cutting yams, and boiling yams is too troublesome, and it is not convenient and fast enough, then you can also choose our family's Poria cocos yam powder, our family's Poria cocos yam powder practice, mainly from the folk, in addition to Poria cocos and yam are indispensable, we also add lotus seeds or barley seeds in an appropriate amount to strengthen the powder in the dampness, clear the heart of the food effect.
And in order to make the food effect of this Poria yam powder more outstanding, our family's Poria Yam Powder is specially made of native Poria cocos from Shennongjia and Yam from Jiaozuo, Henan, and is also accompanied by organic barley and fresh lotus seeds.
This Poria yam powder can be eaten all year round to regulate the body, although these ingredients seem to be more homely, but home cooking is sometimes the most suitable food for people to eat for a long time.
If you don't like to eat this kind of liquid paste, you can also eat some of these small pastries, the ingredients in it are some beneficial to the spleen and lungs, in addition to yam, there are ginseng that is very powerful for qi, Poria cocos that dispels dampness and strengthens the spleen, white lentils, barley, lotus seeds, seeds, hawthorn that accumulates and invigorates blood, malt that invigorates qi, red dates that replenish qi and blood, etc., are made of glutinous rice flour, and the pastries are soft and glutinous and sweet.
In particular, I want to mention the gourd inside, with yams, lotus seeds, it in addition to strengthening the spleen also has the ability to fix, that is, the nutrients that are added will not be lost, can be fixed, all the ingredients are broken and powdered, seasoned with flaxseed oil and maltose, and baked at low temperature, which not only retains nutrition but also takes into account the taste.
Take a bite, the sweetness of glutinous rice and the taste of various foods are mixed, rich in layers, easy to chew and not sticky to teeth, especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly friends. Take two pieces a day to easily take care of your body.
In this spring, we eat and drink well, nourish our spleen and lungs, do a good job of spring covering, don't step on the pit!
