Nourishing yin in autumn and winter and tonic in winter have long been accepted by the masses, but nourishing yang in spring and summer and treating diseases in winter in summer, as a unique means of preventing and treating diseases in traditional Chinese medicine, may not be truly understood by everyone. So can winter disease really be cured in summer? Which diseases are suitable for winter disease and summer treatment? Traditional Chinese medicine believes that man and nature are integrated, and the yang of human body and natural creatures is spring, summer, autumn and winter. Because the yang of nature is the strongest in summer, and the yang of human body is also the highest in summer, it is scientific to treat winter diseases in summer. For some serious diseases in winter, some prescriptions can be taken orally and externally in summer to prevent recurrence or alleviate symptoms. At present, it is recognized that chronic bronchitis, asthmatic bronchitis, emphysema, pulmonary heart disease and other winter diseases are effective in summer. Because of the acute attack in winter, it is necessary to treat its target urgently, mainly by resolving phlegm and relieving asthma or diminishing inflammation with western medicine. In summer, due to the warm climate, the illness can be relieved, which can lose no time to supplement healthy qi, improve human immunity and strengthen the body to eliminate evil. After a certain course of treatment, the deficiency of the body can be corrected, and then in winter, the body can resist the invasion of external evils, so as to achieve the purpose of relieving or radical cure. Summer treatment of winter disease has certain stress and strict adaptation, so we should choose regular medical institutions to accept summer treatment of winter disease to avoid being deceived. There are secrets to treating winter diseases in summer. Whenever autumn and winter seasons alternate or a cold current strikes, hospitals are overcrowded. Not only will chronic diseases break out, but patients with allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma are particularly suffering, and children are more likely to induce allergies due to cold stimulation. Strangely, in summer, these chronic diseases will gradually improve. Traditional Chinese medicine health care scientists have found that chronic diseases that often occur in winter and some diseases with yang deficiency and yin excess can often be improved through summer nursed back to health. Among them, the treatment effect of chronic bronchitis in the elderly is the most obvious. It can be said that the treatment of winter diseases in summer is an important feature of traditional Chinese medicine. Taking advantage of the high temperature in summer and abundant human yang is a favorable opportunity to adjust the balance of yin and yang, so that some chronic diseases can be recovered. "Winter disease" refers to some diseases that are easy to occur or worsen in winter, such as bronchitis, bronchial asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, senile chills and diseases of spleen and stomach deficiency and cold in traditional Chinese medicine. "Summer treatment" refers to the remission of these diseases in summer, the use of remission season, dialectical treatment, appropriate oral and external use of some prescriptions to prevent the recurrence of old diseases in winter, or alleviate their symptoms. Therefore, Chinese medicine has paid special attention to summer conditioning since ancient times, using the characteristics of strong yang in summer to improve physical fitness, enhance immunity, make the disease better, and even stop the disease. At present, the treatment of winter diseases in summer is mainly used for asthma, cough and repeated respiratory infections (such as pharyngitis, tonsillitis, bronchitis, bronchopneumonia, etc.) in children and adults. ), chronic bronchitis in the elderly, low immune function, chilblain, rhinitis, rheumatoid arthritis, etc. Treating scapulohumeral periarthritis in winter and summer is a chronic degenerative disease, which widely exists in the soft tissue around the shoulder joint capsule and joint. Because this disease mostly occurs in people over 50 years old, it often occurs due to pathogenic wind-cold or aggravates the primary disease, so TCM has the names of "Fifty Shoulders", "Shoulder Wind Leakage" and "Shoulder Arthralgia". Periarthritis of shoulder is a common and frequently-occurring disease with slow onset. Most patients have no or only a slight history of trauma, and some patients may get sick because of catching cold. Its main clinical symptoms are shoulder pain and limited shoulder movement, so the pain is aggravated when the upper limbs are raised, extended back and abducted. Due to limited joint movement, some patients find it difficult to comb their hair, dress and eat. In severe cases, life can't take care of itself, which brings great pain to patients. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that when the healthy qi of human body is insufficient and the defensive qi is not solid, due to carelessness or long-term fatigue in daily life, the acupoints are empty and the pathogenic wind and cold enter, leading to cold coagulation of tendons and veins, obstruction of meridians, obstruction of qi and blood circulation and pain. Periarthritis of shoulder is a frequently-occurring disease in winter, which will aggravate the symptoms because of cold. With the change of climate, summer symptoms can be alleviated or disappeared. In hot summer, the skin is slack and the blood circulation on the body surface is accelerated, which is beneficial to the absorption of drugs. At this time, if you stimulate the corresponding acupoints with unique massage techniques, and cooperate with some drugs that dredge channels and activate collaterals, promote qi and blood circulation, dispel wind and remove dampness, and strengthen tendons and bones, you can alleviate or alleviate the symptoms of shoulder pain, numbness and soreness, and you can have fewer or no diseases in winter. Acupoint application, regulating yin and yang qi and blood, Chinese medicine pays attention to the overall treatment concept. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that meridians are the channels of qi and blood circulation in human body, criss-crossing, connecting the whole body from the outside to the inside, and maintaining the normal physiological activities of human tissues and organs. Acupoints are places where qi and blood converge, where the qi of zang-fu organs and meridians reaches the body surface, and also therapeutic places where drugs are used. It can regulate yin and yang, Yang Qi and qi and blood of the whole body through meridians, so as to achieve the purpose of treating diseases. Some diseases, such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, bronchial asthma, etc., can be treated by applying this acupoint application method in summer, that is, applying specific drugs to relevant acupoints, thus playing a preventive and therapeutic role. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the disease of cough and asthma is the evil of wind-cold, inflammation and phlegm-dampness, which blocks lung qi, trauma damages Yang Qi, yang qi is damaged, and yin qi is more abundant, so chronic cough and asthma is difficult to heal. Summer is the peak of Yang Qi's year. At this time, applying warm and pungent drugs to corresponding acupoints can nourish yang and control yin, generate yang and suppress yin, balance yin and yang, reduce lung qi and stop coughing and wheezing. In addition, oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine for warming yin and resisting cold can also help Yang Qi to eliminate cold pathogens, thus improving the body's immunity. Children's asthma can be treated in summer. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the external cause of disease is only one aspect, and more importantly, the state of the human body. People who are attacked by cold pathogens often lack qi and blood and yang, and the persistence of cold pathogens will hurt yang and lead to internal cold. It can be said that diseases caused by invasion of cold pathogen and constitution deficiency and cold can be treated in winter and summer. Asthma is the most typical winter disease treated in summer. Asthma in children is the most common disease in pediatrics. Every winter, some weak children are prone to asthma once they feel cold. These children are most afraid of taking injections and taking medicine. Recently, the Pediatrics Department of our hospital launched a special session of sticking therapy for children with asthma, which was welcomed by many parents of children. The method is to use traditional Chinese medicines that warm yang and dispel cold, such as asarum and white mustard seed. And grinding into powder, and mixing with fresh ginger juice to make medicinal cake. At the same time, according to the severity of the child's illness, gender and physique, appropriate acupoints such as Shu Fei and Shenshu on the patient's back are selected for application, and through the function of nerve-meridian, they can directly reach the lung and kidney viscera, so as to regulate qi and blood, warm and replenish vitality, dispel cold and remove blood stasis, regulate qi and resolve phlegm, and gradually recover vitality, and improve the body's disease resistance. There is a folk method of "doctor's needle" to dispel wind and dispel cold: in the dog days, the tiles are exposed to strong sunlight. Compared with this local method, when the joint is not swollen and painful in dog days, the treatment of arthritis patients with color moxa warm acupuncture (called acupuncture) has the same effect. "Dafu Acupuncture" has the health care function of expelling wind and cold, relaxing meridians and dredging collaterals, and also has a good health care function for some chronic diseases. Changzhou people have the habit of "acupuncturing". In dog days every year, there are always many more patients in the acupuncture department of our hospital than usual. Some patients with backache, leg pain, neck pain and numbness came to see a doctor one after another. Is there a scientific basis for acupuncture? Acupuncture therapy is the essence of traditional medicine in China, and it is welcomed by the broad masses of people because of its simplicity, cheapness and effectiveness. Acupuncture can regulate yin and yang, dredge meridians, strengthen the body resistance and eliminate pathogens by stimulating acupoints and meridians of the human body, thus playing a role in treatment and health care. It is hot in the dog days, and the menstrual flow of the human body is strong. When acupuncture is used, it is easier to stimulate menstrual flow and produce a sense of acupuncture, thus improving the curative effect and curing some old diseases. Therefore, the folk "sleeping needle" is reasonable. However, it is not advisable for some patients not to seek medical treatment as soon as possible in order to "get an injection". The early stage of the disease is shallow and the lesions are mild. Early treatment can lead to early rehabilitation. There are many principles for treating winter diseases in summer: first, aiming at cold pathogens; The second kind is aimed at the cold due to physical weakness. There are many pathogenic factors in nature, which are summarized as wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness and fire by the ancients, and are also called "six evils", among which diseases caused by cold pathogens are frequent in winter. Such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, recurrent cold, angina pectoris, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic diarrhea and chilblain. It will get twice the result with half the effort to treat and recuperate these diseases that are prone to occur in winter and have strong yang in summer, and there will be less or no disease in winter. Treatment of winter diseases in summer also includes yang protection, diet regulation and health preservation in daily life. The weather is hot in summer, which is the season when the sun be the spirit in the sky and the fire evil in the underground intersect. People are depressed and lose weight because of lack of sleep, excessive sweating and poor appetite. At this time, if they don't pay attention to health, it is easy to breed diseases. Even if they weren't sick at that time, they might be riddled with diseases in autumn and winter. Therefore, in summer, in addition to paying attention to diet and daily life, you should also eat some tonics according to your own physique under the guidance of a doctor, such as white ginseng, American ginseng, tremella, bird's nest and so on. This method of preventing and treating diseases is in the same strain as treating winter diseases in summer.
