In today's society, people have great work pressure and a fast pace of life. There are many people suffering from chronic diseases such as colds, obesity, hyperlipidemia, diabetes and even cancer, as well as people with cold hands and feet, gas color difference and listlessness all day long. Many sub-health states and chronic diseases afflict our body and mind and puzzle our lives. So, why is this?
The answer is coming, it turns out that this is all because our bodies lack yang!
So, how should we cultivate our yang? Let's try these tips.
1, cold and warm, foot bath moxibustion
Modern people, especially young people, like to eat cold drinks, ice cream and other cold foods. In summer, the yang of the human body is scattered outside, and the gastrointestinal tract is in a state of deficiency and cold. Therefore, overeating and cold diet will damage the yang of the human body and cause yang weakness. Therefore, in summer, we should have a light diet and warm food and hot drinks. Nowadays, offices, homes, supermarkets, subways and buses are all air-conditioned, and there is little heating in summer. On the contrary, I feel a lot of yin and cold, plus lack of exercise, and I don't sweat. Originally, summer should be a good time to save Yang, but now it has become the most harmful time. Therefore, you must not blow air conditioning all the time in summer, and you should sweat moderately to discharge the cold and dampness in your body. Pay attention to keep warm in autumn and winter, add clothes in time, and soak your feet with foot bath before going to bed, which can not only eliminate fatigue, keep out the cold and prevent freezing, promote sleep, but also improve our human yang. I recommend a prescription for nourishing yang by foot bath, which is 30g of Folium Artemisiae Argyi, 0g of safflower 15g, 30g of speranskia tuberculata and 2500ml of water. Boil 15 minutes, before going to bed 1h, 15 minutes to half an hour, the foot bath temperature is suitable, and the body is slightly sweaty.
Moxibustion can nourish, support, warm, nourish and dredge yang, which is very important and can activate and improve the function of human immune system. The most suitable for health, health. Commonly used moxibustion point: Zusanli, which is a very healthy acupoint, is located on the calf, one on the left and right, 3 inches below the knee, and a horizontal finger (middle finger) on the front edge of the tibia. Zusanli is the acupoint of Zuyangming's stomach meridian, which can strengthen the spleen and stomach, replenish the middle qi and dredge the meridian qi and blood. Chinese medicine has a saying that "if you want to be safe, Li San often doesn't do it", which means that if you want to be safe, you should always do moxibustion at Zusanli; Shenque, the navel, refers to the portal with vitality, which can warm Yuanyang and make Yuanyang healthy, which is the focus of human health care; Guanyuan point is located 3 inches below the navel (4 horizontal fingers is 3 inches), which is the intersection of Ren meridian and Zu Sanyin meridian, and has the functions of nourishing kidney, consolidating the foundation and invigorating vitality. Qihai, located at the sub-umbilicus 1.5 inch, is the acupoint on the front median line of Ren meridian. Qihai point is the place where qi gathers, and it is the ocean of human vitality, which can tonify kidney and qi, warm spleen and yang, consolidate the foundation and cultivate the yuan. The ancients said that "Qi-sea can warm the whole body", which means that Qi-sea can enhance the whole body yang. Moxibustion is most suitable for summer. Moxibustion 1-3 points every time. If you persist for a long time, you can improve the yang of the human body, and achieve the effects of getting rid of diseases, preserving health and prolonging life.
2. Go to bed early and get up early to ensure sleep.
Chinese medicine believes that the movement of heaven and earth produces yin and yang, which is yang during the day and yin at night. During the day, the sun is shining, and our sports, work, study and thinking are the main things; Collect the sun be the spirit at night, sleep quietly, don't work in vain, let the sun be the spirit rest. Yin and Yang interact, the cathode is positive and the anode is negative. Man is a member of nature, a "small universe" closely connected with nature, and must follow the laws of the movement of Yin and Yang in heaven and earth. Chinese medicine says that heaven and man correspond, and health naturally begins here. Modern people frequently stay up late and have excessive nightlife. Nightlife has just begun after dark. They stay up late at night and sleep in without breakfast in the morning. Yin and yang are reversed, and the sun is seriously damaged all the year round. Chinese medicine believes that when a child is born with one yang, it is the time when yin and yang alternate. If you can't sleep, it will directly damage the sun in the ridge. In the long run, the deficiency of yang in Kan will lead to various diseases. Therefore, we must not miss the best sleep time "Haizi Ugly" (that is, from 9 pm to 3 am) to ensure adequate sleep. Man's yang is connected with nature, getting up in the morning, meeting in the afternoon and hiding at night. So be sure to follow the rhythm of day and night and work and rest on time.
Getting up early and transforming the collected yin essence into Yang Qi at night is the easiest way to nourish yang.
Going to bed early, collecting essence and blood into the human body, nourishing yin and helping yang are also the simplest ways to supplement yin and yang.
3. Moderate exercise
The progress of science and technology in modern society has brought a lot of convenience to people. People can sit in the office computer all day, go out by car instead of walking, send things to their doorstep by express delivery, and even get a mobile phone. They have little chance to exercise, and the yang in exercise is getting less and less. Chinese medicine believes that nourishing yang and nourishing yin. Moderate aerobic exercise can make the meridians and qi and blood of human body active, enhance the function of viscera, promote the metabolism of the body, and effectively improve the yang of human body. However, outdoor activities should be carried out under sunny conditions, and aerobic exercise suitable for you according to your physique and age, such as jogging and walking. It is advisable to advocate taking the steps instead of taking the bus to work, which is not only physical exercise, but also environmentally friendly. In addition, moderate exercise, jogging or brisk walking for 40 minutes every day, slight sweating within 10 minutes after exercise, and natural recovery. Excessive exercise will damage human yang and affect health.
4, winter tonic, medicated wine to nourish Yang
Winter is coming, and winter is a good time to make up for it. At this time, we should eat more warm food, such as beef and mutton, onion, ginger, garlic and so on. Ginseng can greatly enhance vitality. "Shen Nong's Classic of Materia Medica" says: "Ginseng nourishes the five internal organs, calms the heart and calms the nerves, stops the convulsion, eliminates evil spirits, improves eyesight, and makes people happy and intelligent. Long service, light body, long life. " Pilose antler is a kind of flesh and blood. Li Shizhen in Ming Dynasty said in Compendium of Materia Medica that velvet antler "is good at tonifying kidney and strengthening yang, producing lean blood, nourishing marrow and strengthening bones". Ginseng antler wine has the effects of tranquilizing mind, enhancing intelligence, invigorating primordial qi, improving physical fatigue, warming yang and dredging veins, delaying aging and enhancing male sexual function. Very suitable for people who usually like to drink and the elderly, nourishing and strengthening the body! Formula: wild ginseng 1, pilose antler tablets 20g, white wine 750ml. Usage: Soak wild ginseng and antlers in Chinese liquor (preferably grain wine) for more than 7 days. Drink 10 ml each time, 1-2 times a day. In addition, taking red ginseng with slow fire instead of tea or flour, 3-5g a day, and taking it on an empty stomach in the morning, is more suitable for winter tonic and nourishing human yang.
