What diseases should rain and solar terms prevent?
1. Exogenous diseases such as cold, fever and pneumonia.
The rain is warm and windy, and the yang of the human body begins to vent outward. At this time, the pores of the skin are opened, and the ability to resist cold evil is weakened. If you don't pay attention, you will easily feel cold.
2. Osteoarthropathy
Arthritis patients are very sensitive to climate change. Rain and solar terms have high air humidity and impermanence of hot and cold. The invasion of moisture and the mixture of cold and dampness can easily lead to joint swelling and pain. Patients with osteoarthrosis are prone to relapse.
3. Gastrointestinal discomfort
Huangdi Neijing says that "spring governs the liver". Traditional Chinese medicine believes that people tend to have excessive liver qi in spring, while excessive liver wood inhibits spleen soil, which adversely affects the spleen and stomach and hinders the normal digestion and absorption of food. At the same time, due to the increase of rain, moisture will follow, and the cold and wet gas will easily plague the spleen. Coupled with the "food accumulation" left over after the Spring Festival, it will lead to symptoms such as loss of appetite, indigestion and diarrhea.
4. Myocardial infarction
In rainy season, the temperature is cold and hot, the weather is changeable, and the vasodilation function is disordered, which is easy to aggravate the condition of patients with coronary heart disease, leading to heart failure and even myocardial infarction.
headache
The rainy solar term "cold in spring" appears from time to time, and spring is a windy season. Many diseases will appear in the upper body, such as the head, wet and cold, qi stagnation and blood stasis, so angioneurotic headache is also easy to recur.
Key points of spring health care:
1. Less acid is sweeter.
Rain solar terms pay attention to "nourishing the spleen and stomach". Spring diet should eat less sour and more sweet to nourish the spleen. You can choose leek, Toona sinensis, lily, chrysanthemum and so on.
Reasonable life
In early spring, the weather is warm and cold, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. Don't take off your winter clothes in a hurry at this time, pay attention to keep warm and cold.
3. Exercise is appropriate
Early spring exercise should conform to the characteristics of yang and hair growth, and you can do some gentle and soothing exercises outdoors, such as Tai Ji Chuan, yoga, jogging and gymnastics. However, it is necessary to pay attention to wearing too few clothes when exercising, so as not to damage the yang.
4. Prevent "cold spring"
Rain and solar terms, avoid cold and humidity. At this time, the human body's texture has been relatively relaxed, and the resistance to the evil of wind and cold has weakened, which is easily affected by pathogenic factors. Therefore, in spring, we should pay attention to "the lower part is thick and the upper part is thin", focusing on "covering" the back, abdomen and soles to reduce the occurrence of diseases.
5. Moxibustion nourishing liver
Spring is the beginning of the birth of yang and the disappearance of yin, so it is necessary to raise yang. At this time, the liver meridian is in season, so nourishing the liver is the main thing in spring. Moxibustion in spring can soothe the liver and relieve qi and prevent liver qi from invading the spleen and stomach.
