In spring, nature and our body will bring forth the new, discharge the unwanted garbage toxins in the body, if we conform to nature at this time, the effect of detoxification will be twice the result with half the effort, the body does not have the stasis of these garbage toxins, and the circulation of qi and blood will be smoother.
Since ancient times, every household has spread the phrase "the plan of the year lies in the spring", in fact, it is not only about farming, for our body, spring is the beginning of life, but also the beginning of our sowing of healthy seeds, this year is sub-healthy or healthy, at this time our approach, played a key role!
The liver is the main spring, and the liver of the human body corresponds to the spring, in the five elements, and the spring belongs to wood, and the liver in the five elements also belongs to wood, so the material properties of the liver and wood are the same. The liver is in charge of the body's excretion and detoxification, and it is most active in spring!
In spring, the temperature gradually rises, our outdoor activities have become more, and the body's metabolism is gradually vigorous, so whether it is nutrient supply in our body, or qi and blood circulation, it will increase and speed up.
Share 3 sets of methods for dredging the liver and gallbladder meridians, detoxification and excretion, assisting our body to detoxify, conform to the power of nature, and dredge the stasis of qi and blood. In spring, the liver qi is vigorous, and it is also the best time to dredge the liver and gallbladder meridians, the gallbladder meridians are the main detoxification, and the liver meridians are the main qi, these two meridians are in charge of whether the toxins in our body can be discharged smoothly, many people can't lose weight in their thighs, often have leg pain, and the legs are thick and swollen, which is all because of the liver and gallbladder meridians.
Share 3 sets of actions to dredge our liver and gallbladder meridians in a targeted manner.
Group 1: Push and scrape the inner and outer thighs
The root of the thigh is the most prone to fat accumulation, toxin stasis, many friends leg fat is honeycomb like tissue, embarrassed to wear pants, but also feel that the legs are heavy, blocked panic, our inner thigh is the liver meridian, the outer side is the gallbladder meridian, many people push a little hard with their hands, the inner and outer sides are sore and painful, this is the liver and gallbladder meridian stasis is very serious.
We can start to dredge from the root of the thigh, first use the palm root, so that the force is light, the body has the process of adaptation, and so on the inner and outer sides of the loosening, we can apply essential oil on the legs, start to push and scrape, many people are a large area of blue and purple sha after pushing and scraping.
It loses the function of the blood, detached from the meridians, accumulates in the body, and does not participate in the circulation of qi and blood in the meridians, that is, blood stasis, these blood remain in the body, and it also blocks the circulation of our qi and blood, so it is good to push and scrape it out.
When we push and scrape the liver and gallbladder meridians, that is, the inner and outer thighs, we pay attention to the two places where we focus on pushing and scraping, which are the easiest to block qi and blood, and the easiest to accumulate toxins. One is the position of the ** line of the pants, which is the section that feels the most prone to congestion. The other position is that when we stand, our hands are close to the outer trouser line and naturally droop, and the position where the middle finger touches is the wind market, and it is also the easiest place for qi and blood to be blocked.
Group 2: Massage the calves
There are many people who call the calf the "second heart" of the human body, 70% of the blood in the human body is concentrated in the lower body, the blood return of our lower body to the heart will be relatively slow, and the calf is like a blood engine, which can speed up the return of qi and blood and promote the circulation of qi and blood to our whole body, so the position of the calf is not blocked, smooth, then the more qi and blood in our heart will be sufficient.
Healthy calves are warm, soft and elastic to the touch, if our calves are colder than the palms, soft and inelastic or hard, swollen, and obvious traces of finger pressing, the body will be more or less uncomfortable, either it hurts here or it hurts, and there are a lot of troubles.
The calf is often edema, which proves that the circulation of qi and blood in the body is very poor, and it is easy to form blood clots, which are blocked in our blood vessels like plugs, so we must develop the habit of massaging the calves.
There are 3 major points to pay attention to when massaging the calf:
Point 1: Be sure to massage from the Achilles tendon (Achilles tendon) to the back of the knee, so as to promote the return of our qi and blood to the heart, and gua sha can also be scraped in this direction.
The second point: the massage should be combined with abdominal breathing, exhale when the fingers are pressed, retract the stomach inward, and inhale when the fingers are relaxed.
The third point: the force should not be too large, you can maintain a little painful but tolerable force, and with exhalation, you can reduce the pain.
Group 3: Scrape the feet and neck
In addition to the thighs and calves that need to be dredged, there is also a key part, which is our feet and neck, that is, the ankles, this position is also a necessary place for us to circulate qi and blood to the feet.
The push and scrape of the ankle is very simple, push and scrape back and forth along the inside of the ankle, this part of the skin and flesh is relatively thin, we should use appropriate force, not too strong.
Focus on the position of Taixi on our feet, this position can stimulate the driving force of mobilizing the body, but after the transfer, it must be stored, where to store? The answer is the spring, so after scraping and massaging the neck every day, you can rub the soles of the feet, which is the location of the spring.
In addition to the strong ability to grow hair in spring, there is also a characteristic is dryness, dryness, which in turn will affect the detoxification of our body, the main wind of spring, it is easy to take away our body's fluid, this dryness affects our body, the most intuitive manifestation is on fire, swelling and pain in the throat, many people will choose to eat some heat-clearing and fire-reducing things at this time, but these things will be in the stomach, the toxins that were originally discharged outward, and they will be suffocated back, and the body will become more and more blocked, and the toxins will accumulate more and more.
Therefore, in order for our body to be better detoxified, we should also moisturize yin and dryness in time at this time, which will also help to loosen the liver qi and let the qi and blood of the whole body run smoothly. In the spring, many friends focus on nourishing yang and ignoring yin, but our body is a yin and yang, and we must pay attention to the balance of yin and yang at all times, which is also the foundation of life activity.
Especially our friends who are easy to get angry and have a strong liver, lose their temper at every turn, and feel hot and dry, you can often *** these 4 kinds of food, nourish yin and moisturize dryness, but also soothe the liver and regulate qi, and moisten the lungs.
Renzi:Lotus seeds are sweet, astringent, flat in nature, and are a good nourishing and nourishing product. And there are many ways to eat it, such as stewed soups and desserts.
Tremella:Tremella is known as "civilian bird's nest", which can be said to be the main ingredient of a four-season soup, with high nutrition, low calorie, moisturizing yin and dryness, beauty and beauty, and drinking a few bowls without worrying about long meat. Zhang Jiang'an said in "Notes on the Explanation of Materia Medica" that ginseng, deer antler velvet, and bird's nest are far inferior to white fungus to nourish yin and moisten the lungs. Moreover, the characteristics of white fungus are that it moistens yin and moistens dryness without greasy stagnation, and has the effect of nourishing the spleen and appetizing, nourishing yin and clearing heat, and moisturizing dryness.
Barley:Its biggest feature is not to nourish yin, but to dispel dampness and reduce turbidity, but also has the effect of clearing heat.
Lily:Lily can relieve liver fire, protect the liver, clear and reduce turbidity, help the body to discharge toxins, reduce the burden on the liver, not only nourish the body, but also nourish the heart and mind.
These 4 foods are relatively peaceful, not too cold but hurt the yang qi when the heat is cleared, and the combination of these ingredients is also good for stewed soup.
White fungus lotus seeds, lily and barley soup
Method: Soak the white fungus, tear it into small flowers, put it in the pot and add an appropriate amount of water, the lotus seeds do not need to be soaked, clean the ** pot directly, the lily and barley are also cleaned into the pot, after boiling over high heat, turn to low heat and simmer for 20 30 minutes, add some rock sugar before the pot, the taste is better.
If you are too lazy to make soup, if you want to get so many ingredients at one time without using your hands, you might as well prepare a few boxes of this QQ soft white cake, which is sweet and not greasy, soft and chewy.
The ingredients in it are all ingredients that nourish yin and dryness, nourish the liver and lungs, including yam, barley, lotus root, lily, white fungus, osmanthus, fat sea, loquat, pear, mint, etc.
Pears are clear and dry, but raw pears generally have a bad spleen and stomach friends can't stand it, so take it as a raw material, after treatment, it can reduce the coldness of pears and become mild, but at the same time retain its effect of nourishing yin and reducing fire.
Loquat nourishes yin and moistens the lungs, "Compendium of Materia Medica" records, loquat can "quench thirst, benefit lung qi, stop vomiting", can be eaten directly, or made into a variety of paste, added in pastries is really uncommon, but with the addition of loquat, the effect and taste of moisturizing and nourishing yin are better.
Combined with lily, barley, and lotus root powder with the effect of nourishing yin, it can also excrete and dredge our body while nourishing yin and dryness, and excrete some turbidity and turbidity.
This pastry is delicate and small, all the ingredients have been finely grinded, so that the nutrition is easier to be absorbed by the body, one bite at a time, just the entrance is a faint taste of osmanthus, chewing the fragrance of loquat can also be tasted, the aftertaste is a cool mint, I feel that the body is a lot more transparent at once.
And the maltose is used to replace the sugar, the nutrition is higher, and the vitamin C is added, which is both nutritious and low-fat, and the method of low-temperature baking is adopted, so that the unique nutrition in the ingredients will not be destroyed by the high temperature, and the pastries made are soft and glutinous, and it does not take any teeth to chew, and our middle-aged and elderly friends can eat with confidence.
Each one is an independent small package, clean and hygienic, easy to carry, a small pastry, contains more than 10 kinds of moisturizing and dry ingredients, but also saves their own stewing process, saving time and effort, lazy people must, usually come to two, not only to satisfy cravings, but also to care for our body from dryness.
The above 2 kinds, one is dredging, which can open our qi and blood channels, and the other is moisturizing and nourishing yin, which can assist our body to detoxify more smoothly and excrete turbidity. In addition, there is another point that needs to be paid special attention in the spring, otherwise the first two may be wasted.
In the spring, we all feel that our temper is uncontrollable, either irritable and irritable, or persistently depressed, and this negative emotion seems to be amplified in the spring. Studies have shown that spring is the season of high incidence of mood disorders, "the food is not fragrant, the night is not sleepy, it is easy to get angry, the thoughts are sad, the day is sleepy, and the spirit is not concentrated." How many of these do you have?
In fact, many people can't imagine that these conditions are related to liver depression, that is, the liver is out of balance, and the liver qi is strong in spring, and the liver is out of balance at this time, and naturally the qi in our body is like a headless fly, and our temper will be good and bad. The liver is drained, the sex is happy, and the liver is angry. We are often so angry that our liver hurts or we are worried that we can't eat, pay attention!
The liver wants to disperse, and the urgent food is hard to disperse
Liver Qi should follow the natural qi and develop smoothly, but if it is depressed, you should eat more spicy food to help the liver qi. Spring is a good season to drink flower tea, use the fragrance of flower tea to regulate blood and yang qi, soothe the liver and relieve depression, and can moisten dryness and quench thirst.
In spring, it is especially recommended that we drink rose tea, or eat food made of roses, for people with insufficient liver qi and depressed mood, roses can soothe the liver and regulate qi. For people who have excessive liver qi rise and are short-tempered, roses can also reduce liver fire, so in spring, there are always roses at home, which not only soothes the liver and relieves depression, but also is especially suitable for relieving stress.
We can choose the combination of roses according to our physique.
People with a cold constitution: rose + lemon + brown sugar
Method: 6 roses, 1 2 slices of dried lemon, appropriate amount of brown sugar. Boil them together or brew them with boiling water.
Roses and lemons go well together, not only female friends can drink this tea, our male friends sometimes have a lot of work pressure, and it is especially suitable for drinking this, especially for frequent socializing, high oil and high fat intake, big temper, stomach distention, you can drink rose lemon brown sugar tea.
People with big liver fire and depressed: roses + moon flowers
Method: 6 roses, 6 moons, you can put it in a health pot to boil and drink, you can also add some honey in moderation if you feel that the taste is light.
Liver depression to a certain extent, always sighing, chest tightness, women are prone to spots on the face, at this time, add Yueji and brown sugar, the effect of regulating qi and relieving depression will be better, and there is also the effect of strengthening the spleen and invigorating qi.
People who have a hot constitution and want to clear the liver fire: jasmine + mint
Method: 6 jasmine flowers, 3 mint leaves 4 pieces, brew with boiling water.
Both of these are very fragrant, if there is fresh mint is the best, this tea is cool, but it will not make the stomach feel cold, this cold is to clear the liver fire, so our friends with a bad spleen and stomach can also make this jasmine mint tea to drink. We people who are very angry, people who are short-tempered, just smell this smell, they all feel comfortable, and aromatic depression is this reason.
The temperature should not be too high when soaking, and it is generally okay to brew with water around 80 degrees.
People who are depressed and irritable, and lack of qi and blood: rose + black sesame
Preparation: roses, steamed or sautéed black sesame seeds, honey, red dates and goji berries. All ingredients (except honey) are finely powdered with a wall breaker, honey is added, kneaded into balls, wrapped in tin foil and preserved, 2 pills per day.
Black sesame seeds nourish qi and blood, have a peaceful taste and do not hurt the spleen and stomach, but they must be fried and then rubbed into balls, otherwise they are too greasy and the spleen and stomach are not easy to absorb. Rose is to relieve depression and soothe the liver, and the combination of the two can not only relieve the liver and relieve depression, but also nourish the long-term loss of qi and blood.
If you are too lazy to knead the balls yourself, you can also prepare a few boxes of these ready-to-eat rose black sesame balls, the ingredients are natural and healthy, including black sesame seeds, roses, red dates, wolfberries, ejiao, ginseng honey. In addition, there are no miscellaneous additives, which will not add other burdens to the body, and it is a real nutrition.
Moreover, the production of black sesame seeds is made with the traditional production process of nine steaming and nine drying, which is dried 9 times in the sun, which can fully absorb the yang energy of nature and the four seasons of heaven and earth. Steaming 9 times with firewood can fully decompose black sesame seeds, make the nutrients in it easier to be absorbed by the human body, remove the greasy nature of black sesame seeds themselves, and it is also a process of combining yin and yang qi.
The hard shell on the outside of the steamed sesame seeds will crumble as soon as it is twisted, and then we can eat it again, so that these nutrients can be absorbed by our body, and they will not pass through the intestines and lose all of them. The production process of nine steaming and nine drying originates from Taoist health preservation techniques, and Taoist priest Ge Hong has recorded in "Hug Puzi": "Three buckets of sesame seeds, steamed and dried, washed with water to remove foam, steamed and dried again, and so on nine times." At this time, the sesame skin and flesh are separated, and after the sesame skin is removed, it is fried until fragrant, beaten into powder, and mixed with white honey or jujube paste to make small balls the size of marbles. ”
Finally, the steamed sesame seeds are fried again, dry but not burnt, crisp but not broken, this step is a great test of the master's stir-frying ability, and after the black skin is completely mashed, the nutrition of the sesame seeds will be completely released! After that, add powdered red dates, wolfberries, ginseng, ejiao, and then add roses and soil honey to knead into honey balls.
Open is the rich and fragrant rose flavor, gently bite, the rose fragrance lingers between the teeth, and then mixed with mellow sesame seeds, sweet red dates, sweet and sour hawthorn, the taste level is very rich, the sweetness of honey is not greasy at all, nor too much, stimulating the throat, the more you chew, the more fragrant.
In the spring, two fragrant rose sesame balls come every day, and the mood is beautiful all day long!
