In such a cold day, I really want to wrap myself up every time I go out, so as not to be caught cold by the cold wind.

However, when I went out shopping two days ago, I saw several girls wearing long skirts or cropped trousers, showing their slender ankles.

Envy the girls' thin legs, but we can't help but sigh that it is constantly consuming our own yang, and even causing dysmenorrhea, palace cold, rheumatism, osteoarthritis and so on. , not to be underestimated.

Hurry to collect, or forward, to remind the girls around you!

Keep reading, the secret of health and warmth in winter.

There are many girls in the street wearing cropped trousers and socks and bare ankles. The thick coat is quite warm, and for the sake of beauty, the ankle will suffer a little.

In front of these two icon with ankles and feet exposed, do you think this armed girl has become an "alternative"?

Besides bare feet, there are bare knees. Imagine the cold wind blowing and feeling your knees cold ~

Only a few people wear pants and socks at the same time. They know how to keep warm, but it's not enough.

Listen to Pinellia ternata, a health expert, today and tell us if we can expose our ankles in winter. What's the price of exposing your ankle? Open those things correctly in winter!

The most important thing after winter: hide

Spring is spring, summer is long, autumn is harvest, and winter storage is the law that nature changes all year round. In spring, plants germinate, grow and bloom; In summer, I will grow up hard, and as a result. You will find that in spring and summer, everything is trying to grow and prosper.

In autumn and winter, leaves wither, fruits fall to the ground and turn into soil. Otherwise, the animals will pick it up and hide it in the cave. It seems that everything is depressed and quiet. But if you look closely, you will find that the life of nature is not over, but is quietly accumulating energy.

This "hidden" state is the foundation of a big tree, which determines how big, how high and how far this big tree can grow in the next spring and summer.

For us, we should also seize this "hidden" power in winter, collect the yang in the body completely, and nourish our internal organs instead.

There are two aspects to storing yang in winter.

It is necessary to "hide" the yang in the body: first, reduce the consumption of yang; The second is to make up slowly.

When winter comes, trees will shed leaves, squirrels will hibernate, and life in nature has its own way to resist the cold winter.

So do people. If you don't keep warm enough, your body will mobilize the yang in your body to resist the cold.

If you go on like this for a long time, you will find that your limbs can't be repaired because of insufficient yang. Many girls are as cold as frost in winter, love dysmenorrhea and have weak resistance. That's the reason.

Reduce the consumption of yang and protect these two places first.

One is the ankle and the other is the clavicle.

Chinese medicine pays attention to "heat from the beginning, cold from the foot." Our feet are farthest from the heart, and they are also most vulnerable to deficiency of qi and blood and attack by cold evil.

Many girls like to wear jeans in winter, and their trousers are rolled up to reveal their slender ankles. This way of dressing is the most vulnerable to cold.

After a long time, our feet will become very cold, and in order to resist the cold, our bodies will automatically gain weight.

So you will find that many girls with cold hands and feet will have thicker thighs.

A better choice is to wear furry snow boots to cover your ankles in winter.

Soak your feet with hot water before going to bed every night, and it is best to apply some moisturizing cream to massage your feet, so that you can have a warm sleep.

Another place where we are afraid of cold is the neck. There are several important acupoints in the neck, which are the outlet for the human body to discharge cold air and the place where cold air can easily enter the body.

Dazhui point: it is the intersection of Du meridian and Sanyang meridian of hand and foot, and has the function of guiding Yang.

If the Dazhui point is blocked, it will block the seven meridians of the body. The channels and collaterals are not smooth, and qi and blood are not running smoothly.

Fengmen point: Fengmen point is located on both sides of the lower part of the second vertebra, and is mainly used to treat wind disease. In Japan, there is a proverb called "Everyone should have moxibustion at Fengmen point".

When Fengmen point is cold, we are easy to catch a cold, have a runny nose and even get dizzy.

Therefore, we must wear a scarf or turtle neck in winter to avoid the cold wind blowing directly to our neck, shoulders and necks and consuming our yang.

After the cold weather, the greatest comfort is a cup of warm afternoon tea. Holding it in your hand is like holding a touch of warm sunshine, which warms your heart directly.

Therefore, in addition to doing the above effective warm-keeping measures, I would also like to share the formula of health-preserving red fragrant tea at the bottom of the wardrobe with you who love beauty, so as to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, drive away cold, and improve cold-prone physique and color change from the inside out.

Red fragrant tea can drive away the cold in the body.

After winter, my favorite drink is a cup of red fragrant tea, which is made of hawthorn, fennel, brown sugar and other ingredients. The sweet and sour of hawthorn and the slightly spicy of fennel are intertwined. If you take a bite, the warmth will flow all over your body, which can dispel the stagnant cold in your body, promote the circulation of blood and make your body warm inside and outside ~

Fennel looks a bit like cumin, also called fennel seed. It was called "Hu Aixiang" in ancient times. The ancients wore it with them, which made the clothes fragrant and chewed it in their mouths to eliminate the breath. It is used as a precious spice.

Foeniculum vulgare L. is also a medicinal material for dispelling cold and regulating qi blindly, which can warm and tonify kidney palace. Friends with yang deficiency and cold body, using fennel, can alleviate the symptoms of spleen and stomach weakness and abdominal pain during menstruation.

However, fennel is warm, which requires licorice to clear away heat and detoxify, reconcile the medicinal properties, play the golden mean and avoid getting angry.

The matched hawthorn is a "medicine for removing blood stasis", which can eliminate blood stasis in the body, dissolve blood clots and air lumps, and activate the whole qi and blood of the body with the blood-activating effect of brown sugar.

skill

Take 1 packet each time, brew with boiling water, cover the cup and stew for 20 minutes before drinking. Tea bags can be brewed repeatedly until they are tasteless.

Some girls will have abdominal pain before menstruation, and they can drink it every day one week before menstruation, which has a good relieving effect.

Remember to put the finished tea bag in a cool and dry place, and just take out a bag when you want to drink it.

Bites, like the smell of the sun, warm to the bottom of my heart.
