TCM health preservation can be summarized into six words: smoothness, quietness, repair, reality, moderation and warmth.
observe
Traditional Chinese medicine advocates timely health preservation, and the body should follow the seasons.
The change of human body is consistent with the cycle of the four seasons, so diet, daily life, food, clothing, housing and transportation must be adapted to the seasons. Huangdi Neijing said: the right time, the right place and the right people. The "time" here refers to the four seasons of Yin and Yang, specifically, nourishing Yang in spring and summer and nourishing Yin in autumn and winter.
When summer comes, people can't help eating some cold food and frozen drinks in order to relieve the heat. At this time, it is necessary to develop the habit of drinking a cup of ginger tea every day, which can help to resolve the chill in cold food.
In addition, the recuperation of the internal organs should also be transferred to the care of the heart, and in summer, Neiguan and Gongsun are often moxibustion to improve the heart function.
silent
Huangdi Neijing said: nothing is indifferent, the true qi follows, the spirit stays inside, and the disease is safe.
Modern people live a fast-paced life with a full schedule every day. In fact, this impetuous life is extremely harmful to health.
When people are quiet, they can reduce a lot of unnecessary consumption, especially the consumption of "qi", and realize "energy saving" in the body, thus preventing diseases and prolonging life.
When you are upset, you can try meditation: in a quiet and suitable environment, close your eyes slightly, inhale deeply, exhale slowly, and repeat several times to let the relaxed feeling spread throughout your body. Imagine yourself in a pleasant natural environment, accompanied by the sea breeze and the smell of birds and flowers ..... gradually relax yourself and eliminate mental fatigue.
fixed
Yoga, Tai Chi, moxibustion, tea tasting, calligraphy, music, etc. are all effective ways for Chinese medicine to maintain health and nourish the heart.
By listening to the sounds of nature, you can integrate yourself into this world, temporarily forget your troubles and worries, and you can make your body and mind comfortable, relax naturally and feel at peace. Self-cultivation, tolerance, indifferent to fame and fortune, you will gain health, happiness and longevity.
solid
Fixing essence, qi and spirit.
Fixing essence: it is to protect kidney qi. Mingmen is the place where kidney yang hides, and it is the fire of Mingmen. Once the firepower is insufficient, the symptoms of the body are weakness of the waist and knees, edema, impotence of men, infertility of women due to palace cold and so on. Moxibustion is often used to warm kidney and strengthen yang.
Fixing qi: bask in the sun more and replenish yang; Do more aerobic exercise and increase oxygen; Go to bed early instead of staying up late.
Consolidate the mind: the seven emotions should be regulated, but if happiness, anger, thinking, sadness and fear are well controlled, the damage to the body will be less.
slow
Slow health preservation has always been advocated by Chinese medicine, especially by modern people.
First, move slowly. Don't be too anxious whether you get up or exercise. Moving too fast and too hard will lead to untimely blood supply, persistent dizziness, palpitations and other phenomena.
Second, eat slowly. Eating in a hurry will not only lead to obesity, but also cause gastrointestinal diseases, which will lead to insufficient absorption of nutrients in food and endanger health. warm
Warming is the key point of TCM health preservation. When the body is warm, qi and blood run smoothly, and the human body is not easy to get sick.
Modern women are "ten women and nine cold", and body cold and blood stasis can be said to be the source of all diseases, which will cause physiological pain, joint pain, obesity and many other situations.
Learn to warm your body, soak your feet, and often moxibustion Dazhui. This point is the traffic fortress of the whole body. The thirteen meridians and qi and blood of the human body meet here. Moxibustion this point thoroughly, with the warmth of moxa fire, melts the hard ice in the body, and the whole body will feel warm and relaxed.
Life is healthy everywhere, keep a good sleep, eat breakfast in the morning and keep a happy mood at work.
Only those who insist on keeping in good health all the time in daily life are the real people who keep in good health.
