Hello, I'm Dr. Yan. Today, we are going to talk about the significance of "keeping in good health in spring, beware of catching a cold".
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the external causes of human diseases are collectively called "six evils", which refer to "disorder, abnormality, out of control and sexual abuse", including wind, cold, summer heat, dampness, dryness and fire, and are also called "six evils" within a reasonable and normal range.
Spring is the main wind, so the diseases caused by colds are mostly in spring, and colds invade the body surface from the outside, and there is a saying that "the wind is hidden in the skin". The common cold has the characteristics of germinal upward, and it is easy to attack the yang position, also known as yang evil. Our human body, back, head and face, nose and mouth. According to the distinction between yin and yang, they all belong to the position of yang, so we are more likely to catch a cold. Huangdi Neijing said: "Wind is the source of all diseases." Among the six evils, wind is the primary factor. The common cold can also be attacked by other causes, such as wind-cold, wind-heat and rheumatism. So it's important to prevent colds. There is a saying that "avoiding the wind is like avoiding an arrow", which means that avoiding a cold is as important as avoiding being hit by an arrow. Therefore, although the temperature rises in spring,
However, we should pay attention to wind and evil, keep warm, take care of ourselves, keep healthy qi, and evil cannot be done. In addition, traditionally, spring is the season with frequent epidemics. As the saying goes: early spring and early spring, beware of spring plague. In addition, the risks in COVID-19 have not been completely removed, so we should continue to wear masks, pay attention to hand hygiene in public places and do personal protection.
