I often hear people complain that their physique is cold and hot, and their lower body is afraid of cold, but it is very hot. Sometimes, the upper body feels anxious, but the lower limbs are not cold. Wear long pants in summer. But even if there are so many problems, going to the hospital to check all the indicators are normal. How should this be adjusted?

Why is it hot and cold?

Actor Wang Liyun has the problem of hot and cold, according to her memory:

During menopause, at noon one summer, I caught a long-distance bus and was sweating, but after getting on the bus, I fell asleep comfortably under the air conditioner. After getting off the bus, I felt that I had a "cold", and I couldn't lift my head and open my eyes. This situation lasted for more than ten days. Although she got better later, she became very afraid of the cold in the lower body and the heat in the upper body. She often feels anxious, and her little finger can't straighten.

Expert analysis: she has a bad cold and has chills in her body. Chinese medicine believes that the human body has a defensive qi, which can protect our body. When people are awake, Wei Qi is on the surface of the body. When people fall asleep, Wei Qi will run into the body. At this time, the surface of Qi Wei is less, and the cold is easy to enter the body. Wang Liyun easily catches a cold when he sleeps under air conditioning. This is why many old people know to cover themselves with sheets or clothes when they sleep. Cold air enters the body and is not discharged in time. If you stay too long, it will become cold and cold.

Fingers are called "four ends" and "the end of yang". If the yang is insufficient, they will get cold and contract when they get cold, so Wang Liyun's fingers will bend instead of straighten. Another symptom of Wang Liyun's "blindness" also shows that her yang is insufficient and her body is cold.

Cold symptoms: abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, bowel sounds, fear of cold.

Symptoms of fever: bad breath, bitter taste, acid regurgitation, like cold drinks, heartburn.

If you have the same symptoms of cold and heat, then you belong to a mixed constitution of cold and heat. When conditioning, you can use the three treasures of health brought by experts. Although it is very common, many people use it wrongly.

The "three treasures of health" is not used correctly, but it suffers.

Experts tell us that this mixture of cold and hot is very common in Wang Liyun. It is necessary to treat fever and cold at the same time, but Wang Liyun's three treasures of health care are very problematic, and the latter two aggravated her illness.

The first treasure: moxibustion paste

Experts pointed out: Although moxibustion plaster is a good thing, Wang Liyun's plaster on shoulders, back and other places only perspires, and does not play a fundamental role. It should be attached to acupoints that can supplement Yang Qi.

Experts gave suggestions on several acupoints: Sticking on Yongquan, Taixi, Guanyuan and Shenshu points can help the human body replenish yang and dispel cold.

Experts also give a particularly simple and practical method, which is to warm your feet with pepper skin. When watching TV and playing mobile phone, you can step on these pepper skins (dry), which not only massages the acupoints on the soles of your feet, but also warms the yang and dispels the cold.

Zanthoxylum bungeanum peel can be reused. Keep it safe. When not in use, put them in plastic bags and fix them. Don't let the smell of pepper peel disperse. It can be used for about half a year.

The second treasure: bamboo leaf tea

Wang Liyun's second treasure is bamboo leaves, which can clear fire, refresh and dispel heart fire. However, experts pointed out that for people with cold body, drinking bamboo leaf green tea is tantamount to adding insult to injury and making the body colder. Because drugs and food for clearing fire are not good for yang.

Improvement method: 3 grams of bamboo leaves and 6 or 9 grams of dried ginger are soaked in water.

If you think dried ginger tastes spicy, you can change it to fresh ginger. According to Wang Liyun's physical condition, experts suggested that 10g fresh ginger should be used first, and then the amount of fresh ginger should be gradually increased.

The Third Treasure: Twenty Treasures of Porridge

The third treasure in Wang Liyun is Bauer porridge. Its ingredients are: bird's nest, adzuki bean, black bean, mung bean, tremella, sweet potato, jujube, lily, lotus seed, raisin, longan, glutinous rice, coix seed, peanut, black sesame, medlar and so on.

Experts pointed out that so many good things can be eaten by ordinary people, but for people with cold body, it will make the body cold worse. Because beans, bird's nest and other ingredients are cold foods, no food in porridge is hot.

And dates, raisins and longan meat are all sweet. Eating too many sweets will slow down the movement of qi, which is not conducive to the growth of yang. The combination of sweet and spicy things can tonify yang.

Improvement method: remove some cold foods such as beans and add ginger or cinnamon. Cinnamon has the function of warming yang and dispelling cold, and inducing fire to return to yuan.

Classic recipe for resolving upper heat and lower cold

Experts pointed out: Wang Liyun's physical condition, diet alone is not enough, you must take medicine. The prescription that can clear away heat and dispel cold at the same time is Millennium Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiang Decoction.

Bupleuri Radix, Scutellariae Radix and Trichosanthis Radix can clear away heat; Cinnamomum cassia twig and ginger warm and dispel cold, and help yang; Trichosanthes root produces fluid to quench thirst; Licorice with cassia twig and dried ginger can warm yang.

▲ Different people have different proportions of hot above and cold below, so it is impossible to give a prescription dose suitable for everyone. Please follow the doctor's advice.

How to restore fingers deformed by cold

Experts believe that Wang Liyun's deformed little finger joint is still in the early stage, showing morning stiffness, which will be relieved after exercise. Experts suggest that you can recover by smoothing it with your hands at ordinary times, and don't let it go. More activities help to drain water from fingers and prevent bone deformation.
