In the first half of the spring vigilance against the cold spring, the recent climate is abnormal, the human body is easy to be out of balance, the outside is bound by the cold and damp, the heat can not go out, the body is easy to puffy, fever and fullness, old love to sleep.
What to do? We have understood the principle of the unity of man and nature since ancient times. The older generation said that the most simple disease prevention method is particularly important in this spring.
In today's article, let's talk about spring covering, how to cover it to be healthy. Especially if you have a baby or an elderly person at home, pay more attention.
What are the benefits of spring cover?
This question is really not a problem, the biggest benefit of spring cover is that you are less sick!
Sun Simiao, the 100-year-old medicine king, said: Do not wear thin clothes in spring, it will cause typhoid fever, cholera, indigestion, and headache. It is to tell you that you have to dress warmly in the spring, otherwise you will catch a cold and a headache.
Some people may ask, why did Sun Zhenren say that he couldn't wear too little in spring? This brings us to the point. The core point: spring cover is not only to keep warm, but more importantly, to prevent wind.
Compared with summer, autumn and winter, the most powerful evil qi in spring is the wind evil, but in the first half of the year, the wind and wood were restrained, so the wind evil was not violent this spring. However, this does not mean that the wind evil is harmless, and in the early spring, there is Si Tian's dry air and polite wet soil, and at this time the wind becomes a cold and wet leading party.
The evil qi of cold, dampness, dryness, and fire has a righteous qi in the body, and it is difficult to invade it for a while. But the wind evil is different, its specialty is to drill everywhere and penetrate, if it is combined with other types of evil energy, the disease and evil go to the depths, and it is not a joke to enter the viscera.
In particular, we should pay attention to two weak points:
Head and neck: are particularly susceptible to wind.
Feet: Wet is born below, cold starts from under the feet, it is best to wear thick shoes and stockings, and pay attention to protect the ankles of the three yin and Taixi.
Knowing that the enemy is going to invade, of course, you must first build a defense, which is a truth that even children who play games understand. On people, spring cover and clothing are this layer of defense. The unhealthy wind and evil spirit can't be harmed, and the biggest purpose of spring cover has been achieved.
Spring cover The 4 most easily overlooked pits!
Spring cover is simple and simple, that is, it is good to wear warm clothes in spring, but there are many details If you don't pay attention to it, you will hurt your body if you cover it wrong. In particular, we should pay attention to the following four pitfalls that are easy to overlook.
1. Cover your whole body.
As soon as many friends hear about spring covering, they can't wait to cover it airtightly, and show their eyes from top to bottom. Actually, it's not good to cover your head too much. Even if the city is besieged and defended, it is necessary to leave an opening, which is called "encircling three queyi," surrounding three sides, and opening one side of the net, so as to play the role of "showing a way out."
Specific to our personal body, "Lao Lao Hengyan" makes it clear: Spring freeze is half pan, ** rather too warm, the upper body is not harmful to slightly decrease, so Yang Yang is angry. The lower body should wear more and warmer, and the upper body can wear less, which is conducive to the upward movement of yang energy and vitality.
Especially the head, the head is the meeting of the sun, the place where the yang energy is the most prosperous, don't wear a thick hat after spring. Girls are also advised not to tie braids and coil their hair, and the Neijing says that spring should be draped and the hair is slow, which is the same reason.
But be careful, there is a wind pool at the neck of the wind house, which is the gateway that is most likely to be invaded by wind evil, so you have to cover it here. You don't need to cover it too thick and too hot, wear a high collar or a silk scarf, and the thin one can block the wind.
2. Cover it too tightly.
Spring cover is not only not too early**, but also pay attention to dressing not too tightly.
Spring is a season of relaxation and openness, and the above mentioned "Hair Slow", which means to let the body relax and be unrestrained. At this time, if you wear too tight clothes and pants, your body's qi will not be smooth, your mood will also be affected, and you will be prone to depression and anger, and over time, breast hyperplasia, ovarian cysts and other conditions may occur, which are often related to qi depression.
Spring cover, wear warm and soft, breathable and loose clothes are the best, warm, and not easy to dry and itch.
3. Sweat profusely.
There is also a pit that many mothers have stepped on: Chun covered his head and covered the child sweating profusely.
Don't cover it, the wind and cold will give you a hammer, and your body can't stand it; It's not right to sweat profusely when you cover your head, and it's easy to get sick. Especially children, who are pure yang bodies, yin deficiency and yang are abundant, sweating more yin and hurting and depleting, but irritable.
So how to cover it in moderation?
In terms of temperature, you can refer to it. If it's below 15, you still have to warm up; If it is higher than 15, you can reduce your clothes appropriately; If it lasts more than 15 and is stable for 1 to 2 weeks, you can lift the spring cover . Generally speaking, winter clothes should be put away after the spring equinox in most areas.
More importantly, the body sensation and physique, people with yin deficiency and children are actually more afraid of heat, if it is easy to sweat after covering it for a few days, then it is time to reduce clothes. Yang deficiency and older people are afraid of the cold, as long as they do not sweat and dry mouth, they can cover it for a few more days.
Children are not easy to judge, and there are two suggestions. One is to pay attention to the daily water intake and urination, if you always want to drink water and urine is yellow, then you should wear less; The second is to use a sweat-absorbing towel, put it on the back of the neck, check it from time to time, and replace it in time if it is sweaty.
4. Take off too violently.
This is more common among friends in the north. In the northern region, there is still heating in early spring, and it is often a thick coat with underwear inside. Gradually, the weather is warmer, and when you take it off, you are prone to catching a cold and getting sick.
We from the dormant winter, to the early spring of yang energy, pores are also relaxed, at this time the blood is not vigorous, the guard is not solid, if the ** is too fierce, once the wind and cold cooling, it is easy to be slandered by the outside world.
The Regency News Theory says: The weather in spring is cold and warm, do not take off the cotton clothes, the old people are weak and sparse and timid, the wind is cold and easy to hurt the membrane, when the jacket is prepared, the warmth is easy, one weight is reduced, and the one is not violent. That's the reason, don't take it violently in spring, especially for the elderly, who are weak and weak, and pay more attention to protection.
Not only the elderly and children, but also frail friends, spring is warm and cold, it is best to prepare a few more single shirts and jackets, replace the thick ones with thin ones, first ensure that the wind is warm, and then reduce one by one when the weather is warm. Pay attention to the principle of keeping the top thin and the bottom thick, rather warm than cold, and change shoes and socks last.
If you have a moxa belly pocket and a moxa belt for moxa wool, you can use it during this period of spring covering, which is not only to meet the needs of yang qi growth, but also to prevent the invasion of wind, cold and dampness.
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. It is recommended to do the Lotus Limbo Pose , which is perfect for exercising at this time and is perfect 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 autumn to discharge the dampness and cold in the body and improve your own yang energy, so as to reduce 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.
For example, if we have the following situations, they are very applicable.
1.Eating raw and cold food is easy to diarrhea and abdominal pain;
2.Spleen and stomach deficiency and cold;
3.Sensitivity to cold, often cold hands and feet;
4.cold abdomen, cold uterus, dysmenorrhea;
5.The face and hair are oily, and the body is damp;
6.Poor sleep and heavy tooth marks on both sides of the tongue;
7.Weak resistance, easy to cold, yang deficiency constitution.
And 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.
If children are afraid that their spleen and stomach will be cold, moxibustion will also be dangerous to them. You can give them the belly pocket of moxa wool mentioned above, which is warm and not violent, the inner tank is covered with mugwort, and the skin-friendly cotton material is used, and the inner tank is fixed in a grid, even if the child is idle, rolling back and forth or jumping, it can also be well fixed and not blocked.
One ingredient: the spleen and lungs are the same as to strengthen immunity
If you were to rank it among all the ingredients, I would definitely recommend it if there was a single flavor that boosted immunity the most. Yam is the top brand in the homology of food and medicine to improve immunity.
In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, immunity is the qi of the spleen and lungs, and the support of kidney qi, and yam is the only food that can nourish the spleen, lungs and kidneys, and everyone can eat it. When the spleen and stomach are good, the luck is good, and the qi and blood are sufficient; The lung qi is sufficient, and the yang qi can be unimpeded and distributed, and it is not easy to be invaded by evil qi; When the kidney qi is strong, the hidden power of the five internal organs will be stronger, and the body and mind can be better nourished.
Spring is the season of high incidence of infectious diseases, and it is also a good time to eat yams, which is the most suitable for friends who are weak and easy to get sick.
For more efficacy, we can refer to the textbook "Chinese Materia Medica":
My colleague's family uses yam all year round, 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. 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 the spleen, lungs, and kidneys all replenished.
There are many ways to eat yams, such as stewing yam pork rib soup, or using yam powder as starch to thicken vegetables, and adding a little to make soup can make the soup more sweet and mellow. To make it simpler, yam boiled water is drunk as tea, and one person can drink seven or eight tablets for a day. Or directly use yam powder as lotus root powder to prepare. Kuaishou meal replacement, in addition to maintaining righteousness, the feeling of satiety is also very strong, and I am not afraid of gaining weight.
The only thing to note is the quality of the yam. Different from the edible yam with the big roots and big roots in the market, if you really want to nourish and nourish well, you must have a medicinal yam, one is the variety, the other is the authentic water and soil, and the third is the planting method, all of which are indispensable.
Good yam is hard to find, we ask the Chinese medicine teacher to personally select the products on the spot, from the origin to the variety to the agricultural method to the soil quality, one by one, from the supply farmers to receive the goods and inspect the goods, directly let the pharmaceutical factory to process with medicinal technology.
This is made of yam, lotus seeds, poria cocos, and barley.
The selection of natural ingredients, no sulfur smoked without bleaching, after breaking the wall powder, nutrition is not wasted at all, the yam here is the yam of Wenxian County, it is a kind of yam, the nutritional value is very good, the nourishing effect is very good, the meat is firm, suitable for all ages.
Poria cocos is made of alpine poria, no sulfur smoked and no bleaching, authentic absorption of soil and born, Anhui's barley grains are full, and Xiangtan's lotus seeds are fresh and sweet, all of which are new goods in the season.
And there is no added sucrose, no wet and not greasy, friends who can't eat sweet can also eat with confidence, brew directly with boiling water, stir while washing, the taste is the taste of natural grain fruit, if you feel light, you can add some honey to eat, it is not recommended to add sucrose, greasy.
Yams and lotus seeds have a faint sweet taste on their own, and they are refreshing to drink, and they are also very good for breakfast in the morning.
The spring yang is born, full of vitality to bless all things in heaven and earth, but under the bright spring there is also a sneak attack of wind, cold and dampness. We must protect the weak yang energy, help it grow and grow, and also pay attention to preventing the invasion of diseases.
