Why do you need autumn and winter tonic? There is a folk saying: "If autumn and winter are supplemented, the tiger can be killed in spring." Autumn and winter are the two most suitable seasons for tonic in a year, and tonic in autumn and winter gets twice the result with half the effort.
When people get old, their health gradually deteriorates, and most of them will have some "virtual" symptoms. 《
Huangdi Neijing
"said:" the old man's blood is declining, his muscles are dry and his airway is astringent. Aging is a natural phenomenon of human body. someone
Deficiency of vital qi
There will be dizziness, fatigue, laziness,
chest tightness and shortness of breath
easy
abnormal sweating due to general debility
, insomnia, forgetfulness, loss of appetite and other symptoms; someone
deficiency of blood
, there will be symptoms such as pale face, dizziness, numbness of limbs and dry stool; More commonly, many elderly people are a little
deficiency of the kidney
. Deficiency of kidney qi is the main cause of aging. For most elderly people, it is common for many elderly people to have a little kidney deficiency. Deficiency of kidney qi is the main cause of aging, and most of the elderly have kidney deficiency. As the saying goes, "people get old first." Many old people are bent when walking, and their legs often hurt, which is the symptom of kidney deficiency.
What should I do if my body has deficiency syndrome? Huangdi Neijing said: "In fact, it is diarrhea, and deficiency is tonic." If the old man is weak, he should make up accordingly. The so-called "medicine tonic is not as good as food tonic".
Thousand yuan prescription
As the saying goes, "to cure, first diet therapy, not healing, and then take medicine." It means that if food can cure diseases, try not to take medicine. Therefore, for people who have no obvious symptoms and deficiency syndrome is not very serious, it is the best way to eat more tonic food at ordinary times.
So, is it suitable for tonic all year round? I have met some old people who are keen on tonic. I don't know where I got a lot of tonics and medicinal liquor such as snake wine and sheep whip wine. Take a little medicine and drink a little wine every day all year round, and persevere. I think it will be a great tonic. Is this the right way?
There is a question of timing for tonic. If an elderly person insists on taking the same tonic all the year round, I'm afraid he will encounter this situation: in the hot
high summer
After taking tonic, you will feel hot and dry all over, and your mouth will be dry, and so will your stool: in hot summer, you will feel hot and dry all over, dry mouth, dry stool and even nosebleeds after taking tonic; In the cold winter, he will feel that these tonics are not very effective. After eating them, he is still cold and weak, and has not put on makeup.
Why is this happening?
You know, life is integrated with everything in nature between heaven and earth. In the words of Huangdi Neijing, "between heaven and earth, within Liuhe, its qi is Kyushu,
nine orifices
All the five zang-organs and twelve knots are related to the weather. "The secret of keeping in good health is that people's life and rest should conform to natural changes, not
violate
Only in this way can nature get long-term health. The ancients said, "Heaven and man are one, and then heaven and earth are beautiful." Nature has four seasons in a year. The four seasons have different temperatures, different climates and different growth laws of everything. The physiological changes of the human body correspond to these four seasons. Throughout the year, people's physiological state and health law are also different. The law of the four seasons of everything is "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Tibet". People's one-year tonic health care should also conform to this law.
Summer is the season for the growth of yang. Normal people don't lack yang in summer, but they are prone to yang flourishing and dry fire. If you drink nourishing medicinal liquor such as snake wine and sheep whip wine in summer, the result will definitely be unbearable heat, which will easily lead to symptoms such as dry mouth and thirst, but it will be harmful to your health. Summer is suitable for "clearing away heat", and eating some foods that clear away heat and remove fire is good for your health. Traditional folk "tonic" and "nourishing" are not suitable for spring and summer.
Autumn and winter are just the opposite. Autumn sweeps away the summer heat, the sunshine time is getting shorter and shorter, and the weather is getting cooler and cooler. Fruits and trees ripened separately, and flowers and plants began to wither and dry up. All these phenomena indicate that the yang of nature has begun to converge. Autumn is characterized by "convergence", which is the so-called "autumn harvest".
Everything withers in winter, animals hide in caves to avoid the cold, and plants are either buried underground or become hard seeds. If it snows heavily, everything is buried under the snow. This scene is like everything is hidden. Winter is characterized by "collection", which is the so-called "winter collection".
Autumn and winter are characterized by "autumn harvest and winter storage", which is a process of gradual convergence and storage of yang. The change of human body is also in line with the characteristics of "autumn harvest and winter storage". In autumn, the human body's yang gradually converges; In winter, the human body also conforms to the characteristics of "autumn harvest and winter storage", and the yang of the human body gradually converges in autumn; In winter, the human body's yang will be collected and conditioned, and then bloom again in the next spring when the yang is formed.
In autumn and winter, the human body's yang is like a seed pregnant with energy. Keeping in good health in autumn and winter is like taking good care of this seed. If you can take good care of your body in autumn and winter, make up your nutrition and let the yang rest in your body, then you will be full of energy all year next year. If you don't pay attention to tonic in autumn and winter, or even lose yang excessively, it's like
Plower
Failed to save the seed. If the seeds are not good, no matter how you take care of them in the coming year, it is impossible to have a good harvest.
Autumn and winter tonic does not need to be supplemented every day, nor does it need to be supplemented at every meal. There is no strict limit on the number of tonic times, as long as you eat some ingredients with tonic effect at your convenience. Counting autumn and winter, as long as you make up a dozen or twenty times, you can have a very good tonic effect. These dozens of supplements can bring you health for a whole year. Therefore, among various health preserving methods, autumn and winter tonic is the most economical and cost-effective.
If autumn and winter are mended, you can change your weak state and make your body stronger.
