In life, we often find that some people are particularly afraid of cold, especially in winter, and some people are particularly prone to get angry. As soon as they eat hot pot, they immediately have a sore throat, oral ulcers and constipation. Director Zhang Changxi said that this is related to the different physical conditions of individuals. Therefore, the winter health tonic should take corresponding measures according to the physical condition, in order to truly achieve the role of health care.

According to his many years' clinical experience, Director Zhang divided four constitutions into qi deficiency, yang deficiency, blood stasis and phlegm-dampness: deficiency of qi and blood due to yang deficiency leads to poor physical function. In winter, the health care for this kind of people should focus on strengthening the spleen and warming the yang. "This kind of people can use yam porridge for health and tonic, and appropriately use spicy and tasteless condiments such as ginger onion, pepper and pepper. Pigeons, mutton, wheat, millet, jujube and brown sugar are all warm ingredients, which are especially suitable for people with insufficient yang in winter. " In the cold winter, people who are deficient in Yang Can often drink ginger sugar tea, and make a tea recipe with about10g of fresh ginger and a proper amount of brown sugar. For people with insufficient yang, the medicinal materials for soup can be Radix Codonopsis, Radix Pseudostellariae, Radix Astragali, etc.

Deficiency of yin and blood, heat stagnation in the body: soothing the liver and nourishing yin.

Director Zhang believes that the constitution of yin deficiency, blood deficiency, damp-heat and qi stagnation can be summarized into the categories of yin-blood deficiency and heat stagnation in the body. Health care should be based on soothing the liver and nourishing yin, but it should also be treated differently. "Usually, people with damp heat in the body are prone to get angry after eating nourishing or nourishing yin drugs, so they should first strengthen the spleen and promote diuresis, clear the damp heat first, and then correct his constitution. If it is a simple group of people with yin deficiency and blood deficiency, drugs that nourish yin and promote fluid production and nourish yin and blood can generally be used. Danggui mutton soup is a typical recipe for enriching blood, and black-bone chicken with Huangqi soup can also enrich blood. Cough due to yin deficiency and internal heat can be stewed with pear, Sichuan and shellfish. In the choice of ingredients, lily, radish juice, pear juice, water chestnut juice, walnut, sesame and other nourishing effects are good. "

Idiopathic people are prone to allergic diseases. While correcting this constitution, we should also pay attention to the balance of qi, blood, yin and yang. Only when qi, blood, yin and yang are balanced, and the body's basal surface moisture is solved, the allergic situation will be reduced.

Please ask a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine to identify your constitution before taking health supplements.

Zhang also reminded that physical fitness is not static, and different people and different physiological stages may have different physical fitness. In addition, some people are one of the constitutions, and some people are a combination of various constitutional symptoms, so it is not easy to distinguish them. It is suggested that professional Chinese medicine practitioners should be invited for physical examination before tonic in winter, and tonic should be made under the guidance of Chinese medicine to avoid making up the difference. "For example, people with yin deficiency and blood deficiency will have symptoms such as insomnia, upset and irritability, which is not easy to distinguish. People with blood deficiency are often accompanied by sallow and dull complexion, while people with yin deficiency often have symptoms such as flushing and foot fever. Combine these aspects and make a difference. "

Damp heat constitution gets angry easily, so don't just clear the fire.

For people in damp heat constitution, when they have symptoms of excessive internal heat, such as oral ulcer and sore throat, they often like to take some drugs for purging fire, but the more they eat, the more they get angry, even accompanied by diarrhea, abdominal distension and other discomfort. Why is this? In this regard, Zhang explained: "For people in damp heat constitution, it is ineffective to simply use drugs for clearing away heat and purging fire. Because moisture and heat are usually mixed together, just like oil and noodles are mixed together and inseparable. If we simply use the prescription of clearing away heat, the result is often that the more heat is removed, the greater the internal heat is. The solution is just to remove the dampness in the body first, so that the heat in the body has nowhere to attach, and the fire will naturally disappear. " Coix seed and red beans are good ingredients for eliminating dampness. Almond, cardamom, Poria, Pinellia ternata, etc. It has a good effect of invigorating spleen and eliminating dampness in Chinese herbal medicine.
