But many people feel cold when they sleep at night, dry mouth when they warm their beds, and their bodies are a little short of water. In fact, this is the symptom of "upper heat and lower cold". In addition to its own factors, it is also related to the five fortunes and six spirits in the year of Gengzi. After the light snow, the cold and dry environment between heaven and earth becomes more and more obvious:
There is wind-cold outside, and dry heat inside hurts the lungs, so many people now have symptoms such as cough, lung heat and expectoration. Even if there is no disease, due to "lung qi deficiency and low immunity", it is easy to be infected with various viruses, including influenza and pneumonia.
So how can we "nourish the lungs and improve immunity"?
The lung is the most delicate organ of the human body and the most fragile defense line of the human body. It is easily destroyed by internal and external diseases. If you can raise your lungs at this time, you can greatly reduce the risk of infection and let yourself spend the whole winter safely!
What are the characteristics of people with lung deficiency? Some people, whether in summer or winter, will feel a little wobbly when they encounter a little cold wind, and even feel weak. Turning on the air conditioner in summer will make them cough and catch a cold easily. This fear of cold regardless of temperature is a symptom of lung qi deficiency.
The qi in the human body is mainly controlled by the lungs. Once lung qi is insufficient, people's breathing will be weak, they will become lazy and don't want to talk. They will be very tired, have no strength, and become short of breath, which will easily lead to serious illnesses such as colds. Therefore, it is particularly important to replenish lung qi. Here are some ways to replenish lung qi:
1, acupoint application in traditional Chinese medicine
This is a better method of invigorating qi with the least side effects. This therapy mainly transmits the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine to the body through acupuncture points, and stimulates the acupuncture points on the body surface to mobilize the meridians behind it, regulate its blood gas, restore its normal circulation, and finally achieve the purpose of regulating and promoting the whole body's resistance function and mobilizing the human body's disease resistance.
The medicine is applied to the acupoints of lung meridian to warm and tonify kidney yang and treat cold deficiency diseases, so that the body can protect itself from diseases while protecting itself.
2. Knead the wrist at Taiyuan point
There is a master switch of Taiyin lung meridian on the wrist: Taiyuan point. Taiyuan point is the point of lung meridian, which can strengthen lung qi, and regular rubbing can enhance people's lung qi.
The acupoint is located in the wrist fossa under the thumb root.
Methods Hands were put together at Taiyuan point and rubbed against each other. After about a minute, Taiyuan point will get hot, and then the qi and blood of the body will be mobilized through the meridians to supplement the energy of the lungs, so that the body can achieve a good nourishing effect under the condition of slight fever.
3. Diet therapy
This conditioning method is slow, mainly by adding some traditional Chinese medicines to the daily dinner food, such as adding longan, astragalus, medlar, codonopsis pilosula and so on to the soup. Astragalus membranaceus is a good medicine for invigorating qi, which can invigorate qi and spleen; Longan has the effect of nourishing the heart and calming the nerves; Codonopsis pilosula can nourish blood, promote fluid production and benefit qi.
A pot of soup can be stewed with a little longan, codonopsis pilosula and astragalus root at the same time, and this tonic soup can be drunk 2-3 times a week, and it will be effective after a period of time. If the qi deficiency is serious and the symptoms are serious, it is recommended to recuperate under the guidance of a doctor.
4, do breathing exercises to easily raise the lungs
Practicing abdominal breathing can replenish qi very well. Get up in the morning and open the window to get some air. After the indoor air is fresh, you can do breathing exercises to nourish your lungs in the following ways.
Lie flat on the bed, put a small pillow above the navel, use the method of reverse abdominal breathing, forcibly exhale to jack up the sandbag, and inhale through the chest to put it down. Every time you exhale and inhale, you should be as thin, slow, even and long as possible, and it is best to ensure that the breathing time is about 6 seconds, which is a good exercise for lung energy.
