Especially for modern white-collar workers, after concentrating on their work for several hours, they often feel cold limbs, fever and dry eyes, that is, "upper heat and lower cold".
Let's share the symptoms and treatment of "upper heat and lower cold" for your reference-
First, the symptoms of upper heat and lower cold
For people with "upper heat and lower cold" constitution, one or more symptoms in the following list will generally appear at the same time:
Heating—
Love fire: oral ulcer, sore throat, toothache, swollen cheeks and nosebleeds.
Chronic otitis media
Red and swollen eyes, dry eyes
Adults also have acne.
Thyroid problem
Head fever, headache, head swelling, dizziness and even high blood pressure.
It was cold—
It is cold below the navel and often has diarrhea.
Cold waist and cold knees.
Female dysmenorrhea, male scrotum wet and cold.
Cold hands and feet, especially afraid of cold.
Is the diet warm?
Dark complexion, long dark spots, and even edema.
Constipation or diarrhea
In addition to these, there is a very important point: insomnia.
It's hot and cold. Above, it's all fire. Down there, it's cold. There is traffic between the upper part and the lower part, so it is naturally difficult to sleep. All parts of the body are interrelated and influence each other.
Second, modern people, why are they all a little hot and cold?
People, one heart and energy will go to that place. Modern people have more brains than legs. Think too much and move too little. As soon as people think, energy accumulates in their heads. Thinking too much is always accompanied by anxiety, tension and heart fire.
Less exercise, poor circulation ability of the body, coupled with eating cold, wearing less, spleen and kidney yang deficiency, then the lower coke will become colder and colder.
The spleen and stomach, because they think too much, eat too fast and have a heavy burden. Everyone has a little spleen deficiency, and the middle jiao represented by the spleen and stomach is relatively weak. Weakened the movement of the upper and lower focus of the body.
As a result, everyone in modern times is a little hot and cold. Think about it, if a person eats neither too much nor too little, but his mind is calm, not tangled, his abdomen is warm, his hands and feet are warm, and his spleen and stomach are good, how good it would be!
Three or five methods for treating upper heat and lower cold
It's not yang deficiency or real fire, but the heat energy in the body goes where it shouldn't go, and the body is not smooth enough to block the operation of energy. At this time, it will get angry and diarrhea, and it will only get colder and colder. The most important thing is to pass.
There is heat in the upper coke and cold in the lower coke. The key is that the coke in the middle does not play a role in the operation. The middle energizer is the spleen and stomach, the spleen governs ascending and the stomach governs descending. These two zang-fu organs need to work well, so that the middle energizer can play its role and make the body run freely.
Therefore, dredging the spleen and stomach is the key!
1, push abdomen
A good belly is like a baby's belly, as soft as cotton. Rubbing the stomach can not only improve upper heat and lower cold, but also reduce weight and dredge meridians. Try it today!
The method is simple: push the palm down from the heart socket to the lower abdomen and push it repeatedly for 5 minutes. Either two hands or one hand will do. If there is a blockage (lump, pain point, "air mass" or "depression"), you must push it repeatedly to push it away and knead it out.
The meridians of Ren Meridian, Kidney Meridian, Stomach Meridian, Spleen Meridian, Liver Meridian, Gallbladder Meridian and Internal Organs are all gathered here. By pushing the abdomen, the middle coke is properly dredged in place, and the upper and lower coke will also be dredged. So as to achieve the purposes of soothing the liver, regulating qi, stimulating appetite, strengthening the spleen, tonifying the kidney and nourishing the heart.
In particular, it can improve upper heating and lower cooling:
By the way, opening the spleen and stomach can help qi and blood to descend better. Many times, when the action arrives, the idea arrives, and the qi and blood naturally arrive.
2. Kneeling method
People who are hot and cold are hot and hot. If they can't transfer heat to their feet at first, they will first transfer it to their knees and then slowly transfer it to their feet.
Method: Soften the mat on the floor or hardwood floor for 20 minutes every day. At first, if your knees can't stand it, try to make the ground soft, or hold the wall with your hands to reduce the load on your knees and exercise your knees slowly. If you can't move forward, stay where you are.
After a few steps, the back will be hot, the whole body will feel warm, qi and blood will be led to the knee first, the knee will be cold, the knee will hurt, click and other problems will be improved. Gradually, the hands and feet are cold, and the upper heat is cold, which has also been improved.
When you walk on your knees, you will find that your waist is also twisting and your kidneys are being replenished. It's hard to do this when walking. People with upper heat and lower cold are generally kidney-yang deficiency, and warming the kidney naturally warms the lower jiao.
Dredge the blood in the legs, and at the same time help to discharge the garbage on the thighs, so that the fat can be naturally eliminated.
3. Practice the two styles of "shaking your head and wagging your tail to get rid of heart fire" and "climbing your feet with both hands to strengthen your kidney and waist" in Ba Duan Jinli:
In view of the constitution of "upper heat and lower cold", we can focus on practicing two moves of "shaking our heads and wagging our tails to get rid of heart fire" and "climbing our feet with both hands to strengthen our kidneys and waist" in Baduanjinli:
1) Shake your head and wag your tail and get upset.
When it is cold and hot, it is necessary to lead the fire back to Yuan. One liter and one drop, guide the fire to the right position, the circular movement in the body can run, and the yin and yang of the body can be guaranteed to blend, and the cold and heat are in the right position, otherwise it will always be distorted.
This move is very helpful to get rid of the heart fire. Pay attention to what you do and try not to discount. When the body is shaking, try to make the neck and tail longer, and the speed should be soft, slow and coherent. Don't keep the neck stiff, don't deliberately adducte or raise the jaw, and let the neck muscles relax and stretch as much as possible. If you work hard, do it twice, or so, and then slowly increase the number of times.
People who often get angry, have oral ulcers, sore throats, and explode acne are mostly empty fires. The head and face are full of deficiency fire, and the lower coke is cold and wet all the year round. Doing this action often can drag the virtual fire floating on it back to Dantian to warm the kidney.
Key points: the first four eight beats should be combined with inhalation, and the last four eight beats should be exhaled.
Methods: The feet are separated, about the distance between the three soles of the feet, and the knees are crouched into a riding posture. Open your hands, chin inward, and hold the front of your thighs. Head and upper body lean forward, then turn around and turn around, and then turn around in the opposite direction after several turns.
Swing your hips properly while turning your waist. If breathing is combined, inhale when you turn your back and exhale when you recover.
Function: Remove heart fire, avoid acne, nosebleeds, bad temper, etc. Suitable for sedentary office workers. The action is more complicated, and you can do what you can.
2) Climb your feet with both hands to strengthen your kidney and waist.
"Climbing the feet with both hands to strengthen the kidney and waist" in Ba Duan Jin is a method to exercise the waist and kidney by bending down and climbing the feet with both hands to achieve the intersection of heart and kidney.
Methods: Stand with your feet together, keep your knees straight, lean forward, hold your toes with both hands and lift your head slightly. Then restore the upright posture, at the same time, make fists on both sides of the lumbar spine, and the upper body slowly leans back, and then restore the upright posture. Repeat it several times. This type uses natural respiration.
Function: It can stretch rectus abdominis and meridians in the foot, and massage the kidney through the heat of the hand. If you can't catch two toes with both hands, you don't have to force it.
Essentials: The waist is the house of the kidney. Long-term backache and lumbar muscle strain can lead to kidney deficiency, and kidney deficiency can also lead to waist discomfort. The two are mutually causal. This action is easy to learn and effective, and it is not limited by location.
Step 4 soak your feet and reduce fire
If you are afraid of cold and your limbs are not warm, soaking your feet is the most appropriate way.
Take Folium Artemisiae Argyi 15g (preferably Folium Artemisiae Argyi), Ramulus Cinnamomi 10g, and Fructus Evodiae 10g. Add appropriate amount of water to boil for 20 minutes, and then cool to an acceptable temperature. Remember not to add cold water, just soak it directly. If the water temperature is not enough, heat the water directly.
Generally speaking, the most suitable temperature for soaking feet is about 40 ~ 44, and the water surface is about 2~3 cm above the ankle. The time should be controlled at 15~20 minutes, and slight sweating is appropriate.
You'd better rub your back with your hands when soaking your feet. After soaking, rub Yongquan point on the soles of feet to nourish kidney water, which can not only tonify yang, but also prevent people from getting angry.
5, moxibustion conditioning
Moxibustion is a very suitable choice for the deficiency fire of "upper heat and lower cold" constitution, which needs to be guided to the right place through reasonable methods, and at the same time rely on external force to dispel the cold evil accumulated in the lower body.
Acupoints such as Shenque, Guanyuan, Sanyinjiao and Yongquan are selected for conditioning, and moxibustion at each acupoint is the best for about 25~40 minutes. Moxibustion for 5 days, rest for 2 days, and then continue.
Shenque point: in the navel, in the middle of the navel.
Guanyuan point: supine position or sitting position. This point is located from the navel along the front midline of the lower abdomen and 4 fingers downward.
Sanyinjiao point: the four fingers of the hand are close together, the lower edge of the little finger is close to the tip of the medial malleolus, and the intersection of the horizontal line where the upper edge of the index finger is located and the posterior edge of the tibia is compressed.
I would like to remind everyone here that Yongquan point at the foot should be placed at the end of moxibustion, which is indispensable. Only in this way can we complete the process of "tempering and returning to the yuan", so that you will not get angry again because of moxibustion.
