First, how to raise yang in summer?
1. Participate in outdoor activities and sports.
"Su Wen. "Four Qi Tiaoling" puts forward that "insatiable greed is Yang". It means not to hate the scorching sun, but to go to outdoor activities and sports. Not too much, of course, to prevent heatstroke.
Edible ginger
As the saying goes: eat radish in winter and ginger in summer. It's hot in summer, why do you want to eat ginger? The ancients believed that in summer, the yang is abundant, and people's qi and blood are rushing to the body surface, so the yang in the body is not enough, especially for people with qi deficiency, blood deficiency and spleen and stomach weakness. At this time, eat more ginger to warm the spleen and stomach, which will make the spleen and stomach yang grand and help to dispel the spleen and stomach cold.
3. Emotional exposure
Huangdi Neijing pointed out that in spring and summer, we should "be determined not to be angry, and Huaying put on a show." It means not to be depressed and angry in summer, but to be full of energy. How to do this? That is, people's feelings should be exposed, they should respond and solve things in time, and they should not be depressed and angry afterwards.
4. Get up early and don't sleep late
As the saying goes, "Spring is sleepy, autumn is sleepy and summer is sleepy". In spring and summer, people get tired easily, and many people like to sleep late. However, when the sun rises in the morning, if you love to sleep late, it will lead to the rising sun's spirit not rising, and finally the more you sleep late, the weaker you become. Therefore, we should get up early for activities or sports in summer. If you feel tired, you can take a nap at noon.
Second, the sun be the spirit in summer should be subject to too many restrictions.
Raising yang in spring and summer has two meanings, one is to raise yang according to the time, so as to raise yang in the body. Another meaning is "restricting yang". The temperature rises in spring and summer, and the yang gradually rises. Especially in summer, the sun is big and strong, which is easy to hurt the yin of the human body. Su Wen The theory that yin and yang should be alike puts forward that "strong fire can eat qi", and points out that excessive yang will not only damage the yang in the body, but also disperse the qi and yin, which is harmful to the human body, so it is necessary to prevent excessive yang in summer. How to prevent the sun from being too strong?
1. Eat more "bitterness" in your diet.
Chinese medicine believes that bitter food can clear away heat and purge fire, and eat more bitter food in the diet, such as sprouts, celery, cucumber, bitter gourd and so on. You can also cook some mung bean soup with the function of clearing away heat and detoxifying, and eat more cold food such as watermelon.
Prevent excessive sweating
Chinese medicine believes that sweat is composed of human vaginal fluid. Excessive sweating in summer will damage the body's vaginal fluid. Therefore, when exercising in summer, it is necessary to control the intensity, not to sweat too much, and it is best to choose a cool environment or exercise in the morning.
Control emotion
Although emotional exposure in summer helps to nourish the yang, if the yang is too strong, it will lead to upset, excessive thinking and bad temper. Therefore, when emotions are exposed, we should also control our mentality and try to be calm.
Third, what is the effect of treating winter diseases in summer? How to use it?
In autumn and winter, yin and cold are more abundant, and qi and yang in the human body are weaker. In order to correct qi deficiency and yang deficiency, some diseases with yang deficiency can prevent winter attacks by supplementing qi and yang in summer. For example, common lumbar disc herniation, lumbar muscle strain, sciatica, lumbar spinal stenosis, knee arthritis and other low back and leg pain. The pain of many patients is aggravated in rainy and cool days, especially in winter, and this kind of patients have yang deficiency and internal cold, so in summer, they can use three volts to supplement the yang.
If you get sick, you should treat it with some traditional Chinese medicines with warming and tonifying effects. For example, Yaotongning is a kind of warm medicine, which has the effects of warming meridians and dredging collaterals, dispelling cold and removing dampness, reducing swelling and relieving pain, and has the best effect on patients with yang deficiency and low back pain.
In short, when the sun is strong in summer, seize the opportunity to raise the sun well, so as to have a good figure next winter.
