How to eliminate the embarrassment of sleepiness, experts say that it is more effective for those with spleen deficiency and dampness to eliminate dampness and strengthen the spleen, while Yang Can, who has hyperactivity of liver yang, can eliminate spring sleepiness mercilessly by clearing liver and purging fire, diet and exercise.
It is easier to fall asleep in warm and humid spring.
Sleepiness in spring is a common phenomenon. As the saying goes, "spring is sleepy, autumn is short, and winter is sleepy", which makes people sleepy all year round. However, spring sleep naturally has the unique seasonal characteristics of spring.
Why does spring make people sleepy and not awake? "This is mainly because at this stage of seasonal transformation, the human body changes from Tibet to hair and blood gas increases. If you are full of qi and blood, you can naturally adapt to this change and feel nothing, but if you are in insufficient blood gas, you are prone to symptoms of spring sleep, mainly because the yang in your body can't keep up with the rising pace of yang outside. "
Residents in Guangdong are more likely to fall asleep in spring, because it rains gradually in spring, especially in Lingnan area, where the ocean monsoon blows, which makes this area wet and rainy, with more water in the air and high relative humidity, so the human body is also prone to signs of dampness and heat.
Water is wet and sleepy in the spleen, and the yang in the body cannot rise, which is similar to the lack of oxygen in the brain, and people will be easily sleepy.
More specifically, a day is divided into five stages: birth, growth, strength, aging and fatigue, and 9- 10 in the morning is the time when the sun's spirit rises. At this time, because the spleen is trapped by water, the original balance of Yin and Yang is broken, so this time is very difficult for people trapped by water.
Spleen deficiency and dampness excess, liver fire excess, easy to fatigue.
Yang can melt moisture, just like when the sun comes out, the moisture disappears. Therefore, people with heavy yang are full of blood, energetic, rosy and quick-thinking. This kind of people will not have damp evil, and it is generally unlikely that they will have spring sleep. But there are two kinds of people who are particularly prone to spring sleep.
The first type: spleen deficiency
This kind of trouble is mainly manifested in fatigue, lethargy, heavy head, dizziness, and some even nausea and loss of appetite. Generally, the tongue coating is thick and greasy, the tongue quality is light, and tooth marks can be seen.
"Spleen deficiency cannot transport water and dampness, which in turn aggravates the symptoms of spleen deficiency. The combination of external dampness and internal dampness aggravated the symptoms of spring sleepiness. " Wang Qinghai said: "In Guangdong, there are many people with spleen deficiency and phlegm-dampness constitution."
The second type: hyperactivity of liver function.
It is advisable to soothe the liver in spring, but if the liver fire is on the high side at ordinary times, symptoms such as impatience, palpitation, insomnia, dizziness and headache will occur, and it is also easy to feel sleepy due to physical weakness at this time.
It is worth noting that for hypertensive patients with damp-heat in liver and gallbladder and hyperactivity of liver fire, it is particularly easy to cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Wang Qinghai introduced that in recent 1-2 weeks, the hospital has treated more than a dozen stroke patients, three of whom are only in their thirties and forties.
Experts remind that patients with hypertension who have symptoms such as listlessness, laziness, dizziness and heavy limbs should not just think that they are sleepy in spring, but may have a stroke.
Jianpi Qushi Diet Conditioning
Spring sleepiness was originally just a physiological reaction of the body. If the situation is not too bad, you can use diet first. Experts have different emphases on different situations.
Professor Wang Qinghai, a famous Chinese medicine practitioner in Guangdong, said: "Spring is the main source of the growth of everything, and everything grows. After beginning of spring, the yang in the human body began to rise. In summer, the yang is strong, in autumn, the yang is convergent, and in winter, the essence is hidden. "
Spleen deficiency:
You can use lean meat, pig bones, Radix Astragali, Radix Codonopsis, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Poria and other medicinal materials to make soup. This medicated diet is mainly for strengthening the spleen.
Eliminating dampness:
If you are sleepy, sleepy and heavy, you can use Pogostemon, Cardamom, Coicis Semen, Euryale Semen, Lentils, Red Bean and so on. Make soup to drink. This medicated diet mainly eliminates dampness.
Anger:
The food for clearing liver and purging fire can be edible wax gourd, Chinese cabbage, white radish, cold melon and so on.
Recommended health prescription: kapok, atractylodes rhizome, kudzu root, stewed pork bone.
material
20 grams of kapok, 20 grams of atractylodes rhizome, 250 grams of kudzu root, 500 grams of pig bones and 2 candied dates.
working methods
Wash pig bones and pueraria lobata and cut them into small pieces for later use. Wash kapok and atractylodes rhizome, and add water 1, 500ml. After boiling, simmer for about 1.5h and serve.
efficacy
Clearing heat and cooling blood, inducing diuresis and stopping diarrhea. Kapok is sweet and slightly cold, which can eliminate dampness and stop dysentery; Atractylodes lancea tastes bitter and warm, and has the effect of invigorating spleen and drying dampness. The combination of the two has a good effect of cleaning up the damp heat in the intestine, and it is a seasonal folk prescription with great health value.
Exercise to remove dampness
Besides diet, the second trick is exercise. Wang Qinghai said: "In spring and March, the earth's atmosphere rises and the weather drops. At this time, the human yang gradually tends to the epidermis, showing an upward trend. It is most suitable for going out for a walk, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth and adapting to the growth of spring. "
In this season, the lazier you are, the more sleepy you will be, and the more sleepy you will be. Laziness is not conducive to the rise of yang. Therefore, in order to adapt to the climate change, we should go to bed late and get up early in our daily life, and often go for outdoor walks and outings in the Woods to integrate with nature.
