A good way to recuperate in winter for people with yang deficiency constitution
Five syndromes of yang deficiency
1, chills and cold limbs, which are the main symptoms of yang deficiency. Yang is like the sun in nature, so the internal environment will be in a "cold" state.
2, the end of the grain does not mean that undigested food is mixed in the stool. The ancients had an image metaphor for this phenomenon. The digestion of food is like cooking raw rice into cooked rice, the stomach is like a cooking pot, and the yang is like a cooking fire. Rice can't be cooked without fire. Therefore, the food that entered the stomach at that time could not be "decomposed" (digested) well, but was directly discharged from the intestine.
3, listless, cell life activities decline, so it is characterized by sluggishness and laziness.
4, the tongue is light and fat, or there are teeth marks. The consumption and metabolism of water in the body depend on the transpiration of yang. If the yang is weak and the transpiration consumption of water and liquid is insufficient, too much water will accumulate in the body, resulting in a fat tongue. The tongue is fat, and teeth marks will appear when it is squeezed by teeth.
5, the pulse is weak and the yang is insufficient, so the pulse is weak and weak.
What do you eat for spleen and kidney yang deficiency in winter?
Edible food:
Foods that are warm in nature and have the functions of tonifying kidney-yang, clearing heat and invigorating spleen, such as long-grain mutton, chicken, pork belly, light garlic, leek, pepper, kidney bean, cinnamon, etc.
People with constipation due to yang deficiency should eat foods that are both warm and laxative, such as walnut kernel, Allium macrostemon, sea cucumber and shrimp.
People who have diarrhea due to yang deficiency should eat warm and antidiarrheal foods, such as glutinous rice, chain fish, river shrimp, dried ginger and pepper. Foods with astringent and antidiarrheal effects, such as pomegranate, dark plum, lotus seed, gordon euryales, etc.
Avoid food:
Cold, yang-damaging or greasy and indigestible foods, such as japonica rice, buckwheat, naked oats, tofu, pork, duck, pine nuts, peanuts, black fungus, bitter gourd, water bamboo, celery, wax gourd, eggplant, hollow radish, spinach, longan, banana, honey, etc.
Constipation due to yang deficiency also needs to avoid foods that can stop diarrhea and aggravate constipation, such as lotus seeds, pomegranate, Euryale euryales, dark plum, glutinous rice, river shrimp and so on.
Diarrhea due to yang deficiency also needs to avoid foods with laxative effect, such as walnut kernel, sesame, tremella, sea cucumber, shrimp, milk, rabbit meat, longan, peach and radish.
It is often said that cold begins with the feet. Because there is a Yongquan point on the sole of the foot, which is the first point of the kidney meridian. If you don't pay attention to keep warm, the cold can easily come in directly from the soles of your feet along the kidney meridian, and the kidney yang is the first to be damaged.
What should people with yang deficiency pay attention to?
First of all, we should avoid the cold and keep warm, especially on the back, upper abdomen (near the lower abdomen), navel and sole. We should get more sunshine in winter to improve our cold tolerance.
Secondly, avoid doing too much exercise, so as not to sweat and damage the yang. Old people who like morning exercises, especially in winter, had better do it when the temperature rises after the sun comes out, otherwise they will not get the effect of exercise, but will easily cause many diseases because of being too cold.
External adjustment:
Two acupoints: one is called Shenque, and the other is called Guanyuan, both of which warm the middle and return to yang. There is also a point called Qihai point, which means that Qihai point can adjust the weak state of the whole body. The point of Qihai is 1.5 inch below the navel, which is about two fingers wide, but the * * * of this point is quite special. Knead with the fingertips of thumb or middle finger, with moderate intensity, once a day, each time 1 to 3 minutes. If it is not yang deficiency, you can always use this Qihai point to keep fit.

What is yin deficiency?
Yin deficiency is relative to Yang deficiency. Refers to the pathological phenomenon of insufficient blood and body fluid. Because both blood essence and body fluid belong to yin, it is called yin deficiency, which is more common in patients with yin internal friction after a long illness or fever. Because of yin deficiency, you can't make a fire. When the fire is flourishing, it will burn the vaginal fluid more weakly, and the two often affect each other. The main symptoms of yin deficiency are five-upset fever or afternoon hot flashes. Night sweats and cheekbones are red. Thin. Red tongue with little fur.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that people's health is closely related to changes in climate and environment. The dry climate in autumn and winter will have a great impact on human metabolism. People who have just "tortured" from the hot summer will often have symptoms of yin deficiency and excessive fire when they enter autumn dryness, such as dry mouth, chapped lips and bleeding, dry skin, hoarse throat, less urine and constipation. Others will have symptoms of dry cough, such as less dry expectoration and blood in the sputum. In order to prevent autumn dryness, we don't eat or eat less hot products that are harmful to body fluids, just as Chinese medicine says, "It is better to be less spicy and increase acid."
Yin deficiency food supplement method:
Ingredients: 800g of Chinese cabbage, 3 candied dates and 3 slices of ginger.

Yin deficiency and excessive fire are the dialectical diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine, which is mainly regulated by traditional Chinese medicine. Suggest nourishing yin and clearing heat. At the same time, we should also adjust our mentality and maintain emotional stability. People with yin deficiency and excessive fire often have worse symptoms in hot and dry summer.

Pay attention to in life:
