Liu Liming, director of the Department of Hepatology of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine in the Third People's Hospital of Hubei Province (Zhongshan Hospital of Hubei Province), said that the cold evil of "spring cold" often carries the common cold and dampness evil, thus hindering the rise of yang in human body, making the whole body depressed and leading to the occurrence of diseases.
What do you mean? He explained that spring is the season when the liver and gallbladder are rising. Insufficient or excessive liver and gallbladder yang rise will cause qi disorder. Liver and gallbladder are both exterior and interior, and liver qi can only be discharged to Shu Da with the help of gallbladder meridian. For example, if the liver and gallbladder meridians are blocked, qi and blood are not smooth, and the liver and gallbladder are insufficient, there will be some symptoms of liver and gallbladder stagnation (heat stagnation), such as dry mouth, bitter taste, dizziness or irritability, and some people will also have headaches, dysmenorrhea and hypochondriac pain. However, if the liver essence and blood are insufficient, and the qi in the liver and gallbladder rises too much, it may disturb the yang, resulting in symptoms of hyperactivity of liver yang, such as obvious blood pressure fluctuation, dizziness, backache, weakness of lower limbs, top-heaviness and tremor of limbs.
"How to avoid lack of courage or too much? Just do one thing: spring. " He pointed out that as the saying goes, you should keep warm in spring, but the cold in late spring this year is much worse than in previous years, and the sudden drop in temperature has caught people who just put on spring clothes off guard. "Don't bother, just take out the extra thick clothes and put them on."
How to cover "Spring Cover"? He explained that attention should be paid to "morning and evening cover" and "weather cover", that is, you must not catch cold during the low temperature period or when the weather changes every morning and evening.
What parts of the "spring sleeve" should be covered? Head, neck, abdomen, back and feet are five key parts. Keep warm every day and don't catch a cold.
"I hope everyone will get into the habit of checking the weather forecast every day and prepare in advance according to the temperature changes." Liu liming said.
What if you catch a cold? Liu Liming suggested that you can go to a regular medical institution for moxibustion. Moxibustion has the functions of warming and nourishing yang, eliminating dampness and dispelling cold. Moxibustion conditioning can be used to deal with "cold in late spring". Moxibustion regulates points such as Mingmen, Guanyuan, Zhongwan and Zusanli, which can not only effectively prevent colds, but also help Yang Qi to rise.
