daily life
1. Sleep
People with qi stagnation are prone to drowsiness, fatigue or insomnia, which aggravates depression. Therefore, it is very important for people with qi stagnation to regulate sleep. The room should be quiet, silent and dark, avoiding strong light stimulation. The indoor temperature should be moderate. Pay attention to the combination of work and rest to ensure adequate sleep time.
purge
People with qi stagnation have poor qi and blood circulation, poor stool or diarrhea. Pay attention to your daily diet, eat more digestible food, stop overeating, defecate on time every day, and let your body defecate.
Seasonal health preservation
Qi constitution is resistant to spring and summer, but not to autumn and winter. Pay attention to wind and cold in autumn and winter, keep warm and don't catch a cold. Four-season maintenance is mainly in spring, during which you can stretch your body and relax. Pay more attention to emotional counseling, so that liver qi can be accessed and the right side can be relieved. We can adopt the method of empathy and mutual love, and pay full attention to psychological adjustment.
Spring health
In spring, the ice and snow melt, and everything wakes up and is full of vitality. Yang in the human body also conforms to nature and diverges outward and upward. Spring is the best season for people with qi stagnation.
The end of winter has a great influence on people's mental activities, so we should pay attention to emotional health in spring. Keep an optimistic and cheerful mood, so as to make the liver smooth, open-minded and optimistic. Relaxed, comfortable, natural and full of energy. However, if the camera is not properly adjusted and the hair stands up too much, it will often cause impatience and anger, which will lead to the pathological manifestations of "rushing to the crown". Therefore, spring health care should try to protect the excretory function of the liver. The so-called "born without killing, giving without taking, rewarding without punishment". You can go for a walk outdoors, travel on sunny days and get into nature. Green is good for people's health. There is a popular saying in China that "flowers and trees are planted in the courtyard, and the fresh air makes people stretch their bones and muscles".
When the liver is flourishing in spring, the metabolism of the human body begins to flourish. At this time, nourishing the liver can avoid yin deficiency in summer. Chunmu, corresponding to the liver, "the body that nourishes the liver uses acid, and the qi that soothes the liver uses pungent". Food should be spicy, sweet and mild. Eat more foods rich in protein, trace elements and B vitamins, such as lean meat, bean products, eggs, carrots, cauliflower, Chinese cabbage, sweet pepper and spinach. In addition, avoid eating greasy, cold and sticky things to avoid hurting the stomach and yang. You can also choose some herbs that soften and nourish the liver, soothe the liver and regulate qi, such as Lycium barbarum, Radix Curcumae and Salvia miltiorrhiza.
After the spring, we should adapt to the rising yang, strengthen exercise and choose outdoor sports, such as running, boxing, doing exercises, walking, playing ball games and flying kites. Let the body absorb the old and the new, and stretch the bones and muscles. At the same time, pay attention to keep warm. From winter to early spring, it is warm and cold at first, and the temperature changes greatly. At this time, the muscle surface of human body is relaxed, and the resistance to the outside world is weakened, which is easy to be attacked by external pathogens.
Summer health
As the temperature rises day by day, many people feel inexplicably agitated. They often get angry with others because of trivial things and regret it afterwards. This is because the high temperature in summer is easy to cause anxiety, especially for patients with depression, which is more likely to hurt the liver and cause fever. Therefore, you must sort out your emotions in summer, don't be too excited, and don't be angry and impatient. Keep a quiet mental state, and at the same time drink more health tea that soothes the liver and regulates qi, and clears away heat and reduces fire. Relax your heart, stay calm and stop your anger, so as to achieve the effect of "keeping your head calm"
In the hot summer, it is easy to get wet, which further hinders the development of Qi machine. People with depressed qi should pay attention to avoid eating cold, greasy and fatty products, while overeating will damage the stomach and spleen, affect the digestion and absorption of nutrients and hinder the smooth flow of qi. You should eat more foods that clear your heart and moisten your lungs, as well as foods that can relieve summer heat, such as mung beans, watermelons, cucumbers, loofah, bitter gourd and wax gourd. You can drink rose tea, and you can also choose some aromatic drugs for eliminating dampness and regulating qi, such as Pogostemon rugosa, Eupatorium adenophorum, lotus leaf, Elsholtzia Haizhou, watermelon green clothes, bamboo leaves and so on. Most people who are depressed can't sleep well, and it is more difficult to sleep in summer when it is hot. A timely nap can be used as compensation, but the nap time should be around 1 hour, not too long.
People with depressed qi have poor qi and poor stool, and summer is the high incidence season of intestinal infectious diseases. Pay special attention to drinking water and food hygiene, and strictly control oral diseases. Don't eat unclean, spoiled and moldy food. Cooked food or overnight food must be thoroughly heated before eating to prevent food poisoning. Pay attention to the cleaning, disinfection and cleaning of tableware. Be sure to wash your hands before and after meals to prevent germs from entering. It is suggested to be jealous or garlic, which can not only increase the acidity in the stomach, but also help digestion and sterilization and improve the disease resistance of the gastrointestinal tract.
Autumn health care
Autumn is a bleak season. People with depressed constitution look at everything under the condition of depression, which is easy to hurt autumn. Especially on rainy days, it will be uncomfortable to watch the weather in the morning. You may lose your temper and cry because of a trivial matter or an unintentional sentence from others. Qi stagnation leads to liver failure, excessive liver fire and long-term internal consumption of yin and body fluid. Dry weather in autumn is easy to damage body fluids and make the body dry more obviously, so pay attention to nourishing yin in autumn. At the same time, we should pay more attention to mental rehabilitation and do more outdoor sports, which will help the smooth flow of qi. Think more about happy things, treat everything with a peaceful attitude, conform to the convergence of autumn, and spend the "eventful autumn" calmly.
After entering beginning of autumn, the weather gradually turns from hot to cold, the consumption of human body will gradually decrease, and the appetite will begin to increase. According to the principle of "dryness must be wet" in traditional Chinese medicine, we should drink more liquids such as boiled water, light tea, fruit juice drinks, soybean milk and milk to nourish yin and moisten dryness and make up for yin loss. The best way to drink is to drink a small amount often.
In daily life, beginning of autumn should "go to bed early and get up early to make all the chickens happy". This is because going to bed early can conform to the convergence of yang, and getting up early can stretch lung qi and prevent excessive convergence.
It's early autumn. Although there is a cool breeze, but the heat is not exhausted, it is not appropriate to wear too many clothes. After beginning of autumn, the temperature difference between day and night is large, so it is necessary to increase or decrease clothes in time. It is not advisable to go into battle shirtless, nor to wear too much or too warm, otherwise it will affect the body's adaptability to cold climate and make it easy to catch a cold.
The morning after beginning of autumn is a good time for exercise. At this time, the temperature is neither cold nor hot, the climate is comfortable, the autumn is crisp, and people are full of energy. Choosing a quiet place, rivers and lakes, or boulevards for exercise is very beneficial to people's physical and mental health.
Healthy in winter
There is winter in the cold air outlet, and winter is the best time for the human body to remain hidden. Affected by the cold temperature of human body, various physiological functions and appetite will change. Winter is easy to make people feel depressed, and people with qi stagnation need to pay attention to adjusting their emotions in winter. The best way to change depression is exercise, such as jogging, dancing, skating, playing ball games and so on.

The sunshine is strong in winter, especially at night. The ancients advocated "going to bed early and getting up late" in winter. Go to bed early to nourish yang, and get up late to solidify yin essence. It belongs to winter yin, mainly protecting yin essence, so it is advisable to excrete less body fluid. Therefore, in winter, we should be "aware of the changes in temperature" to prevent the invasion of cold air. But don't be too warm, especially avoid thick clothes and fur, get drunk in the fire, bake your belly and sweat violently. In winter, facial skin is stimulated by cold, and capillaries contract. If you wash your face with hot water, you will feel warm. Once the heat is lost, the capillaries will return to their original state, which is easy to wrinkle the facial skin. When you wash your face with cold water in the morning, you will immediately feel your eyes clear.
The stimulation of cold water can not only improve facial blood circulation and enhance skin elasticity, but also enhance the body's ability to keep out the cold, prevent colds and rhinitis, and is also good for nervous headache caused by neurasthenia. Of course, the cold water temperature should not be too low, just slightly higher than 10.
Although sweating and urination decrease in winter, cells in the brain and body organs still need water to nourish them to ensure normal metabolism. The daily water supply in winter is generally not less than 2000ml.
Winter is easy to induce the recurrence or aggravation of chronic diseases, and cold can also induce myocardial infarction and stroke, which will increase blood pressure and aggravate symptoms such as ulcers, rheumatism and glaucoma. Therefore, such patients should pay attention to keep warm and cold, especially to prevent the adverse stimulation of windy and cool weather, and prepare first-aid drugs. At the same time, we should also pay attention to cold-resistant exercise, improve the ability to resist cold and diseases, and prevent the occurrence of respiratory diseases.

In addition, it is also important to choose a pair of comfortable, warm, light and moisture-absorbing shoes.
In winter, some people like to close the doors and windows or sleep with their heads covered, which is a very bad habit. Indoor air pollution is dozens of times more serious than outdoor air pollution in winter. Pay attention to open the doors and windows for ventilation and purify the indoor air. In addition to opening doors and windows to allow air convection during the day, small shutters should be opened for ventilation at night.
The aggravation of depression in people with qi stagnation is not only related to the activity of winter relative to other seasons, but also related to the short days and long nights in winter and insufficient light. In the face of severe winter, many people choose "cat winter" life. When they go out to breathe fresh air, their chances of exposure to the sun will decrease. So some people become irritable, depressed, tired, depressed, inattentive and depressed in winter, which is called "winter depression".
People with qi stagnation should pay attention to sunbathing in winter. There is a folk proverb in our country that the sun in winter is as precious as gold. However, sunbathing should also master the principle of moderation and moderation.
Because the seasonal ozone layer is weak in winter and the ultraviolet rays of the sun are strengthened, it is easy to bring different degrees of harm to people's health. Therefore, sunbathing in winter should also pay attention to the scientific choice of time period. Ordinary adults take 20-30 minutes twice a day, before 10 in the morning and after 4: 00 in the afternoon.
