The solar terms of mango were divided into three periods by the ancients: one was when mantis was born, the other was when birds began to sing, and the third was when the tongue was silent.
As soon as mantis was born, it laid eggs in late autumn last year. In the season of awning, it felt the birth of Yin Qi and broke its shell to give birth to a little mantis. The second time, anchovies began to sing: anchovies refer to shrike, a small bird of prey. Shady shrike birds began to appear in the branches and sing in the shade; Third-class anti-tongue silence: Anti-tongue is a bird that can imitate the songs of other birds, but at this time it stopped singing because it sensed the appearance of Yin Qi.
Mango is easy to get sick in solar terms.
The climatic characteristics of Mang are: hot and humid. At this time, it is easy to cause aphtha, cold, gynecological diseases, heart diseases, skin diseases and gastrointestinal diseases. Among them, the common cold is similar to the popular COVID-19 infection in recent years. Next, let's know what a cold is, how to distinguish it from COVID-19 infection, and how to treat and prevent it.
What is a cold?
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that colds are mainly common exogenous diseases caused by the common cold attacking the human body, also known as colds. The main clinical manifestations are nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, cough, aversion to cold, fever, headache, general pain and pulse floating. Colds can happen all year round, especially in winter and spring and when the climate changes suddenly. Cold can be divided into wind-cold and wind-heat, and cold can be divided into dampness, summer heat and physical weakness.
A cold refers to a common cold that occurs in summer. The main manifestations are fever, cough, sore throat and expectoration, and some patients have symptoms such as fatigue, weakness and lack of food. So colds are wind-heat colds, which mostly occur in summer.
How to distinguish wind-cold from wind-heat cold?
1 the severity of aversion to cold. Wind-cold colds hate wind and fear cold, wind-heat colds hate cold slightly, and there will never be chills.
2 sore throat. Wind-heat cold has sore throat and redness. If the pharynx is obviously red or even congested, it is a typical wind-heat performance. People suffering from wind-cold colds may have slight swelling and swelling of the throat.
3 whether there is sweating: wind chill: no sweating, fever (low temperature), headache, joint pain and general pain; Wind-heat cold: sweating, fever (high temperature), sweating, aversion to wind and cold.
4 phlegm: thin is generally cold, thick is generally wind and heat.
Snuff: Clear nose is cold, yellow nose is wind-heat.
Why is it easy to catch a cold in canopy season?
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the correspondence between man and nature, and people will get sick if they don't correspond to nature. Because summer is hot and humid, in a hot environment, sweat gland pores open and sweat oozes out, which is a spontaneous reaction to hot and humid weather. However, this is also a period when the body's resistance declines. If you feel exogenous evil, such as adjusting the air conditioning temperature very low when you sleep, or blowing the electric fan violently and sleeping without covering the quilt, the sweat pores will suddenly be blocked by cold through flow, so that heat and sweat cannot leak out, and heat will accumulate in the body, and a cold will occur.
How to tell a cold from COVID-19?
The common cold is a common cold in summer, and it is generally not contagious. However, the epidemic situation in COVID-19 is still spreading, with increasingly atypical symptoms and increasing asymptomatic infections. So at this special stage, as long as you have symptoms of cold, fever, cough, sore throat and diarrhea, remember to go to a hospital with a fever clinic for screening! After the doctor's judgment, COVID-19 was ruled out. And COVID-19 test is carried out regularly.
Does a cold matter?
Some people may think that a cold is just a common cold, so it doesn't matter. However, if the cold symptoms get worse, it will induce the onset of some diseases, such as chronic bronchitis and asthma. It will also aggravate some chronic diseases, such as diabetes, coronary heart disease and chronic bronchitis.
How to treat a cold?
After catching a cold, many patients are eager to reduce their fever, eat antipyretics indiscriminately, sweat all over, and then their body temperature rises. They will go to the hospital for antipyretics and intravenous drip, as well as antibiotics and hormones. None of this is appropriate. This repeated tossing is counterproductive, and finally the disease lingers and delays the treatment.
Patients with mild cold symptoms generally do not need special treatment, drink more water and pay attention to rest. If the patient has serious symptoms such as fever, headache, sore throat and thick phlegm, he can be treated with drugs. Choose the prescription of dispelling wind and clearing heat, or choose some Chinese patent medicines based on syndrome differentiation, such as Huoxiang Zhengqi Soft Capsule, Yinqiao Jiedu Tablet, Qingkailing, etc.
How to prevent colds?
Prevention is the key to catching a cold. Keep a regular life in midsummer and don't get sick because of greed and carelessness. Should do:
1 Exercise, enhance physical fitness, pay attention to changing clothes according to weather changes, and protect against cold and heat.
Pay attention to the combination of work and rest, prevent overwork and enhance the body's disease resistance.
Appropriately add some cool and nutritious foods to clear away heat and relieve summer heat. It should be noted that you should not use ginger, brown sugar and other foods when you have a cold, and don't eat too many foods that get angry, such as mutton, dog meat, chicken, fish, pepper, pepper and garlic. Otherwise, it will add fuel to the fire, adding fuel to the fire and making the disease develop in a bad direction.
Don't sleep outdoors at night, don't blow the fan excessively, and don't sleep in a cool place with through flow, such as under the eaves and by the wall, to avoid catching a cold.
Sweating for 5 days should not be washed with cold water. Pay attention to rain protection in rainy days. If your clothes are wet, put on dry clothes immediately after you go home.
6 drink plenty of water. Water helps the body digest and absorb nutrients, converts food into energy, enhances immunity and helps the body excrete toxins.
Wear a mask correctly and wash your hands frequently in public places.
Mangzhong solar terms health
0 1 The mood should be fresh and cheerful.
When the mango is in full swing, it is easy to cause people's depression, inattention and anxiety. At this time, we should adjust our mood, keep our mood comfortable and open-minded, and let our bodies communicate freely. Therefore, we should learn to adjust ourselves psychologically, such as listening to music, taking a walk and thinking about beautiful things. Try to be calm, calm, calm, calm. Prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hypertension and cerebral thrombosis caused by violent mood swings.
Stay up late and get up early to avoid heatstroke.
Before and after the solar terms, it is necessary to conform to the seasonal characteristics of long days and short nights, and go to bed late and get up early. "Staying up late" here doesn't mean staying up late. At the same time, we should properly accept the sun but avoid direct sunlight, and pay attention to heatstroke prevention, so as to conform to the exuberance of yang, which is conducive to the operation of qi and blood and cheer up the spirit.
In some parts of our country, there is a proverb that says: "When you plant a mango on the summer solstice, you need someone to lead you when you walk;" The important person pulling is pulling, and the important person pulling is pushing. "This vividly shows people's laziness at this time. At this time, it is best to take a nap at noon, which can not only relieve fatigue, but also be very beneficial to the body.
After planting awn seeds, it is hot at noon, and people are prone to sweating. Clothes should be washed and changed frequently. In order to avoid heatstroke, you should take a bath often after planting, and "yang heat" is easy to vent. But it should be noted that don't take a shower immediately when sweating. There is an old saying in China that "you can't get wet when you sweat". If you get wet when you sweat, you will get acne.
Exercise should be moderate sweating, not exposure.
It's summer, and the yang is rising at this time. Health care should pay attention to sweating. Sweating can help expel toxins from the human body, which not only makes people full of energy, but also makes it difficult for diseases to get up. Play ball, run, etc properly. Sweating through exercise is conducive to the operation of qi and blood. But it's hot in summer, so it's best not to go out for exercise during the day when the sun is strong. Early morning is a time when the sympathetic nerve is highly excited, which is not suitable for exercise. It is suggested to go out in the evening as much as possible in summer to prevent sunburn or sports accidents. Wear loose, sweat-absorbent clothes during exercise and bring a bottle of water with you to prevent dehydration. Before exercising in summer, you should make full warm-up preparations. Because the human body consumes a lot of energy, it is necessary to control the activity intensity during exercise.
Diet should be light, avoid spicy and warm tonic.
In terms of diet recuperation, Sun Simiao in the Tang Dynasty advocated that "light food is always better than barley koji and japonica rice", and said that "people who are good at keeping in good health often need less meat and more rice". While emphasizing dietary supplement, he warned people not to eat too salty and sweet.
Pay attention to clearing heat when planting awns. The poison of summer heat and dampness will affect people's health. Eating some cool vegetables, such as bitter gourd, cucumber, tomato, eggplant, celery, lettuce, asparagus, wax gourd, mung bean sprouts, Chinese cabbage, red and white radish, etc., is conducive to promoting fluid production to quench thirst, relieving summer heat and purging fire. You can also eat watermelons, apples, pears, tomatoes, kiwis, olive fruits, ebony and other fruits to clear away heat and relieve summer heat. Eat porridge and pasta, such as mung bean white rice porridge, red bean mung bean porridge, lotus root starch, water chestnut powder, lotus seed powder and so on.
