Winter is a season of frequent colds. If someone around you has a cold, a cough and a runny nose, it is inevitable. How can we avoid being infected at this time?

To prevent colds: breathe through your nose and press two points.

First of all, let's take a look at the methods provided by Mr. Zhu Heting, a famous health care scientist and Chinese medicine scholar: First, don't open your mouth and try to breathe through your nose. Even if you want to talk, don't talk to him directly, but talk sideways or try to avoid it. Second, when you speak, press Hegu and Leqog with your hands. Lieque is the collateral point of lung meridian, and collateral point is the point that plays the role of channel regulation. One finger points Hegu point and one finger points Lieque point, and rubbing Hegu point and Lieque point when speaking can play a preventive role. Because Hegu point cures colds, coughs and stuffy noses; Legue acupoint can treat chest tightness, cough and cold. Although you didn't have a cold and cough at that time, this practice itself played a health care role. You can talk and do it, or you can do Liege instead of Hegu.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Diet plus Acupoints: Effective Prevention of Cold

There are many remedies. Here are some simple and effective ones.

Take a bottle of mouthwash with you. The first dietotherapy method is to use Saposhnikovia divaricata, Radix Isatidis, Fructus Forsythiae, Flos Chrysanthemi and Radix Glycyrrhizae, which can be boiled into soup, put in a small bottle or put in a cup for your own use. You can rinse it if you have time. Gargle on your back. You can spit it out after gargling. Washing for three times can play a preventive role. If you have a cold, you can still drink it.

Coix lachryma-jobi is the second dietotherapy method of boiling water and rubbing hands and heart. Coix seed can resist cancer, prevent cold and eliminate dampness. Coix seed can be boiled with water alone, or rubbed with hands and fingers after boiling, and rubbed with cotton swab dipped in Coix seed water, which is very effective in preventing colds.

The third dietotherapy method of wiping ear and nasal cavity with raw licorice water is to use raw licorice. Boil water with raw licorice. Brush your teeth in the morning, take a sip of raw licorice water, rinse your mouth, wash your hair, and finally vomit. Rub the remaining raw licorice water into your ears and nose with a cotton swab to prevent infectious colds.

Western medicine prevents colds: it is essential to clean the nasal cavity every day.

Gao Hongmei, deputy chief physician of the Department of Respiratory Medicine of Armed Police General Hospital, said that Western medicine believes that colds are mainly caused by cold viruses living in the nasopharynx. When the human body is affected by fatigue, catching cold and other factors, the protection and immune function of nasal mucosa are reduced, and pathogenic microorganisms such as viruses and bacteria will take advantage of it and cause diseases such as colds. Therefore, cleaning the nasal cavity every day can effectively reduce the number of cold viruses, thus achieving the purpose of preventing colds.

Specific methods: wash your face with cold water every morning and evening (warm water can be used when it is cold in winter), wash your face and nose, and hum it out with your nose while washing, 3 ~ 5 times each time. When gargling after three meals a day, you can also wash your nose once after gargling. The method of washing nose is the same as above. Washing your face with cold water can not only wash away pathogenic bacteria on your face and nose, but also exercise and enhance the protective function of nasal mucosa and reduce the occurrence of colds.
