Chinese medicine believes that the lung governs the fur and opens the nose. In other words, the human epidermis has pores, which are the valves of the lungs and the places where lung qi enters and exits, all of which are managed by the lungs. Breathe mainly through the nose. So whenever people's lungs are bad, people's skin and nose often have some bad performances.
People with bad lungs will have three manifestations on their faces. If one of them doesn't, praise your lungs.
1, purple lips
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the lung faces a hundred pulses"
The lung is responsible for regulating the qi and blood of the whole body.
Under normal circumstances, our lips are rosy, but if you find that your lips are purple, your face is dim, your face becomes pale and your skin elasticity becomes worse, then you should be careful of your lungs. Because the lungs are responsible for transporting qi and blood to the whole body, if the lung qi is insufficient, there will be insufficient blood supply, and purple lips are an unhealthy manifestation of the lungs.
2. The nose is red
Chinese medicine believes that the lung opens in the nose and mainly breathes through the nose.
If you often sweat a lot at the tip of your nose, or your nose is red, and often accompanied by poor breathing, runny nose, stuffy nose and other manifestations, you should be careful that there is something wrong with your lungs. Because the nose is the main respiratory tract of the lungs, if the lung qi is insufficient, it will extend to the nose. A lot of sweating at the tip of the nose and redness at the nose are all unhealthy manifestations of the lungs.
3, dry eyebrows
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lung governs fur, skin and pores are the main entrances and exits of lung qi.
If you find that your eyebrows are dry, red or black, your face is prone to spots, or you are prone to all kinds of acne, and your skin becomes dry. Be careful there is something wrong with your lungs. Because skin pores are the valves of the lungs, if lung qi is insufficient, it will affect fur, and dry eyebrows, dry skin, acne and spots are all bad manifestations of the lungs.
Nourish and moisten the lungs, remember "3 less, 3 more"
3 Shao
1, less and less sympathy.
People with worldly desires often feel sad when they lose their loved ones or things, which is inevitable, but don't be too sad.
Because Chinese medicine believes that in terms of emotion, the lung governs sadness. Too sad, people will feel breathless, too sad, will damage the lung qi.
So, don't be sad when something happens. Everything is in balance, which is the best state, and so is the body.
Step 2 use less cosmetics
Nowadays, both female friends and male friends like to use cosmetics to cover up their ugliness, thinking that it will make them look younger and more beautiful. But they don't know that frequent use of cosmetics can easily lead to skin redness, fear of heat, allergies and even affect lung health.
Because the lungs are covered with fur, fur is an extension of the lungs, and the skin is nourished by the qi of the lung meridian. Moreover, the pores of fur are important places for lung qi to enter and exit. Regular makeup will block facial pores, make lung qi unable to pass in and out smoothly, accumulate toxins and affect lung function.
Therefore, it is the best beauty method to pay attention to lung health and nourish the qi of lung meridian on weekdays.
3, less colds
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lungs are fine and dirty, and "cold-shaped cold drinks will definitely hurt the lungs". That is to say, in cold weather, if you don't keep warm and avoid the cold properly or eat and drink cold food frequently, the cold will invade the lungs and damage their functions.
Therefore, it is necessary to keep warm when the weather is cold on weekdays, and eat less cold food on weekdays.
3 ratio
1, often eat foods that clear and moisten the lungs.
Ginger: According to the health preserving theory of Chinese medicine, ginger is warm and pungent, and can enter the lung, stomach and spleen meridians, and has the health preserving effects of dispelling cold, warming stomach and detoxifying.
Lily: According to TCM health theory, lily is slightly cold, sweet and bitter, and can enter the heart, lungs and liver meridians, and has the health-care effects of clearing heat and cooling blood, calming the heart and calming the nerves, moistening dryness and clearing heat.
Sesame: According to the theory of TCM health care, sesame is flat and sweet, and can enter the liver, kidney and lung meridians, and has the health care effects of tonifying lung and benefiting qi, dredging blood vessels and moistening skin.
2. Take a bath often.
Frequent bathing can nourish the lungs, because it is beneficial to blood circulation and makes the lungs and fur communicate.
The bath temperature is preferably around 25 degrees Celsius. Drink a glass of salty boiled water 30 minutes before taking a bath. It is not advisable to rub too much when taking a bath, mainly soaking.
3, keep the stool unobstructed
According to the health preserving theory of TCM, "cathartic device" is an effective method to improve lung function and prevent lung diseases.
The ancients used to say, "If you want to live forever, your intestines must be clear." . The lung is opposite to the large intestine, and the large intestine is blocked, which will affect the decline of qi, leading to the increase of lung qi and unfavorable airway.
Therefore, it is necessary to develop the habit of defecating regularly and regularly on weekdays, and often eat foods with high cellulose content such as fresh fruits and vegetables, honey and coarse grains, which can not only relax the bowels, but also prevent lung diseases.
