Summer is not hot, winter is not cold, and sooner or later you will get sick.
Author/Fan
People often say that summer is not hot, winter is not cold, and you will get sick sooner or later-what does this mean?
In winter, due to the closed storage of qi and blood, nutrition is stored to prepare for next year's hair growth. Yin essence is not easy to store in winter, and it is easy to get fever in spring. When it is cold in winter, the pores are closed, which is helpful for qi and blood adduction. When it is hot in summer, the pores are open, which helps qi and blood to go out. At this time, if you often turn on the air conditioner and your metabolism is not smooth, will you get sick?
Many centenarians in rural areas live in bungalows, because bungalows are warm in winter and cool in summer, and these elderly people can live a long life.
I don't advocate using air conditioning to cool down in bungalows. It is better to use fans. Now everyone lives in the same building and needs air conditioning. The air conditioner gave off a biting cold wind. Young people may not think that gay men are over 32 and lesbians are over 28. If they stay in an air-conditioned room, they will feel a biting chill.
"False evil steals the wind, sometimes avoid it." The hot wind in winter and the cold wind in summer are different from the seasonal wind, that is, the thief wind, which is particularly harmful to health.
Each of us is like a deciduous tree, which begins to sprout in spring and qi and blood begin to be transported abroad; In summer, all the qi and blood go outside, so it flourishes and the roots have no nutrition; As long as the autumn wind is together, as soon as the leaves fall, the blood will flow from the outside to the inside; In winter, the leaves outside are gone, and all the nutrients go to the roots.
So do people. In spring, the qi and blood flow from the inside out, and in summer, the qi and blood flow has reached the outside, so the inside is relatively insufficient. Why is it easy to have a stomachache in summer? It's not just bacteria and viruses, but more importantly, your state has changed, and your yang is all outside. Eating some cucumber jelly will upset your stomach.
In summer, people's qi and blood are from the inside out, and the qi and blood outside are more and more vigorous, while the yang inside is relatively insufficient. So at this time, you should use some drugs similar to American ginseng to help your yang. Summer is particularly hot, and if you sweat a lot, you will be flustered and short of breath, because your yang will disperse as soon as you sweat.
(American ginseng)
At this time, Chinese medicine allows you to eat some Shengmai drinks: ginseng, Ophiopogon japonicus and Schisandra chinensis. Eating like this will not get angry, because there is insufficient qi and blood in it. This is a prescription created by Sun Simiao, a great TCM doctor in the Tang Dynasty, which is very beneficial to treat summer heat. Ginseng tonifies the middle qi, Schisandra receives the heart qi, and Ophiopogon japonicus clears the lung qi, which plays the role of clearing the lung qi and converging the heart qi.
Drinking more pulse-activating drinks in summer won't make you feel tired.
Huangdi Neijing says that "greed is insatiable for the sun"
Author/Liang Dong Xu Wenbing
Liang Dong: Just now, I talked with teacher Xu Wenbing about The Four Laws of Huangdi's Internal Classic: Xia San Month, which is also called the Brahma Show. Heaven and earth are in harmony, and everything is flashy; Lying in bed at night and getting up early are insatiable. Especially this insatiable attitude is of great practical significance to today's society.
Xu Wenbing: What is disgust?
"Tired", what is the earliest traditional Chinese character? You are tired after eating too much. Smell the fumes, smell the oil, smell the meat and you want to vomit. I'm tired of it. Began to anorexia, disgust is what we often say, don't like it, too much.
"Being insatiable about the sun" means that when summer is so intense and unrestrained, don't hate the sun and be insatiable about it.
You see, we hate the sun in many ways. First, locking yourself in an office building doesn't count. What else should we do? Turn on the air conditioner. Go out in summer, and then put on all kinds of sunscreen. What kind of umbrella, and then I hate the sun.
In fact, summer should be hot. It should be hot. We'll talk later. Plants must be hot in summer if they want to be flashy and pregnant. Otherwise, it will not mature. In fact, people's physiological development is synchronized with nature. If there is autumn harvest and winter storage, many people's physiological functions will be affected without summer enthusiasm.
Look at us. What impressed me the most was going to Hong Kong in 2000. Alas, the air conditioner in Hong Kong is so loud that I can't stand it. I went there in August and September. I have been to Japan, too. What about Japan? It pays attention to wearing a suit and tie, and it is very formal to work. So at that time, in the summer, the air conditioners were also full, so these air conditioners caused many people to have many physical and mental diseases.
The practical significance is that one is lighting. Everyone knows what kind of nutrition we have absorbed. For calcium and vitamin D, his absorption is conditional, that is, there is light. Why do many people have such depression in autumn and winter? It is because the light is not long. We often say that the yang of our body is the driving force of our life. So where does your natural yang come from, in the final analysis, from the sun?
But we are in summer, because of the heat, this heat ... I tell you, real people, real people, we say men and women, that is to say, from another angle, we say men's physique, what is a real man's body-warm in winter and cool in summer, that is, you touch a man's body, it is hot in winter and you touch it in summer.
So his human body has a self-balance, such a system of hot and cold regulation.
For example, if you are cold, I will shake my yang to warm me up, but it will get hot in summer. My kidney water and the five elements of TCM have two systems, one is heating and the other is cooling. The first heating system is the liver and heart, and the cooling system is the lungs and kidneys.
Therefore, when it is particularly hot in summer, a healthy person's kidney water starts to work, so people will have some slight Mao Mao sweat, not that kind of sweat, and then their mood will be less anxious and impetuous. You see the water margin says: the sun is like fire, Noda's rice and grain are half burnt, the farmer's heart is like soup, and his son Wang Sun shakes his fan.
If he has something on his mind and catches up with the scorching sun, then he is really anxious all over. However, you don't care about it. Although he is scorching in the sun, it has nothing to do with it, but I don't feel hot at all when I shake my fan, so there is a saying in our folk: peace of mind is naturally cool.
However, in our present society, our hearts are restless, which is from the heart. Even if it is not hot outside, he is irritable, plus it is hot outside. The only way, he didn't fundamentally stimulate his kidney water, and the kidney meridian calmed his heart. What replaced it? He drinks ice water to reduce the fire, and then he uses air conditioner to reduce the fire. Then we still have a big invention now, that is, the refrigerator, a big one, that is, let's see if there is a refrigerator first. What do you do with it?
Do something besides putting some leftovers. Therefore, it is cold outside and cold to eat, so our summer is the most painful. In summer, many people are sick and restless.
Liang Dong: Yes, especially because this pore has been opened in summer.
Xu Wenbing: You're right. Many people, like I said before, get arthritis when riding motorcycles, not in winter. In winter, he knows to wear leather pants to protect his knees. In winter, our bodies naturally contract and close, and in summer, our hair pores open. Then everyone sleeps with the air conditioner on, and then they catch cold. Anyway, what is it, embrace the darkness, out of the sun?
Liang Dong: You said that many young women are cooking in the kitchen, right?
Xu Wenbing: I'm not talking about young women, I'm talking about female mothers. Nowadays, young women are ashamed to go to the kitchen, but some old mothers.
Old mothers, while cooking fried rice in full swing, suddenly forgot a cucumber or a sweet noodle sauce. As soon as they opened the refrigerator, their hands felt cold, so they got into something, such as scapulohumeral periarthritis and joint pain. They couldn't sleep all night, and they couldn't find anything wrong when they went to the hospital for examination.
Liang Dong: I think it is particularly worth reminding that many people have never realized that such a short time and such cold air will cause such a big problem.
Xu Wenbing: This is a big problem. For example, one day, dad was very hot. In summer, he caught a cold as soon as he blew the window open. So I told him, too, and he said it wasn't that terrible. Old people think it's not that terrible, but in fact it may be much more serious than we thought.
So now I find that many of my patients are sick because of losing consciousness.
What is "knowledge"? Rational consideration, I know that summer should be insatiable, warm and far from cold. This is called "knowledge". Without knowledge, I have awareness. Right? The thief wind is coming, I feel it, and I will hide at once.
Nowadays, people have neither "knowledge" nor "consciousness". Why not "sleep", just drink those iced drinks and carbonated drinks and then paralyze your senses. Finally, in the absence of "knowledge" and "awareness", it was attacked by disease and evil.
