Suntan your back and replenish Yang Qi.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the front of the human body is yin and the back is yang, so drying the back can play a role in tonifying yang. At the same time, in cold weather, drying the back can also drive away the cold of the spleen and stomach, which is helpful to improve the digestive function.
It is very common in life. Some people will have cold hands and feet no matter whether the weather is hot or cold. In the view of Chinese medicine, this is a sign of weakness of yang or deficiency of qi and blood. In view of the cold hands and feet, the conditioning method is very simple, and the purpose of health care can be achieved by sunbathing at ordinary times. Cao Tingdong, a physician in Qing Dynasty, pointed out in his monograph on health care for the aged that "the back is yang, and the heart and lungs govern it", indicating that drying the back can also dredge the back meridians, which is also very beneficial to the heart and lungs.
There is a way to bask in the sun.
In the morning 10 to 1 1 it is best to bask in the sun. Because the ultraviolet rays in the sun are low during this period, it can make people feel warm and soft. In addition, people of different ages have different tolerance to the sun, and the length of time in the sun is also different.
Generally, infants take 15 ~ 30 minutes each time, young and middle-aged people take 1 ~ 2 hours each time, and the elderly take 20 ~ 30 minutes each time. It should be noted that you should not bask in the sun through the glass, which will not play its due role.
Yang Qi is the best medicine for diseases. In Huangdi Neijing, it is said that "Yang shou Biao Gu" means that the human body has the ability to resist external evil.
This ability is Yang. It is also called "Weiyang" and "Wei Qi" in Chinese medicine. Wei means guarding and defending. Yang is like a guardian of the human body. They are distributed on the skin surface and are responsible for resisting all external evils and maintaining human safety. Anyone with strong yang can be immune to all diseases. The ancients compared Yang to the relationship between the sky and the sun. If there is no sun in the sky, then the earth is dark and unknown, and nothing can grow. Therefore, the operation of heaven and earth must have the sun. The yang of the human body should be reconciled and its protective function should be consolidated, otherwise it will attract the invasion of evil spirits. Huangdi Neijing said: "If the sun, the moon and the sky lose their position, they will lose their lives." Therefore, maintaining the sun and yang is the basis of health care and treatment.
