"Xia San month, this is called sweet show, heaven and earth gas exchange, all things are flashy, lying at night and getting up early, insatiable, making volunteers angry, making Huaying show, making people angry, if you love outside, this summer gas should be, and the way to cultivate is also. On the contrary, it is sad. Autumn is malaria, and there are few recipients, and they are seriously ill in winter. "
The three months in summer are called "anti-show", which is the season when everything in nature is lush and beautiful. At this time, the weather drops, the earth's atmosphere rises, the heavens and the earth intersect, and plants bloom and grow vigorously. People should go to bed at night, get up early, don't hate the long day, keep happy and don't get angry. We should adapt Huaying's spirit to the summer atmosphere, make it beautiful, make it fluent, vent freely, be extroverted and have a strong interest in foreign things. This is a way to adapt to summer and keep the spirit of summer. Failure to do this will damage the heart, make the conditions provided by autumn harvest insufficient, and malaria will easily occur in autumn and occur in winter.
Summer and March refers to the three months from the long summer to the beginning of autumn. In summer, the spirit should be as beautiful as a budding flower, and anger should be avoided, so that the qi of the body can be freely expressed and the emotions are outward, showing a strong interest in foreign things. This is a way to keep fit in summer.
Summer belongs to fire in the five elements, and the "heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney" of the five internal organs of the human body correspond to the five elements, and the heart belongs to fire. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and people tend to feel sultry, sleepy, irritable and easily lose their temper. So we need a cool head, a clear mind and a harmonious spirit. Ji Kang, a famous ancient health-preserving family, said: "It is hot in summer, so it is more appropriate to adjust your breath and calm down, often like ice and snow in your heart." This is "peace of mind is naturally cool", which makes sense.
The key to keeping in good health in summer is to protect yang.
It is cloudy from summer to Sunday, and the gas is as weak as the shade of vegetation, so it is easy to be cut. So the Book of Changes says, "Near Japan." It is hot in summer, and it is vulnerable to wind, cold and dampness. It is not suitable for fan-type air supply when sleeping. In an air-conditioned room, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor should not be too large, which is not suitable for camping at night.
Raise yang in spring and summer. The more summer solstice arrives, the more attention should be paid to raising yang. The original intention of tonifying yang is to replenish the yang deficiency inside. Therefore, whether it is diet therapy, decoction or moxibustion, it can help Neiyang. Take advantage of yang to drive away the cold, take advantage of the trend to eliminate evil spirits, and "let the gas be vented." From now on, be careful to drink cold food, use moxibustion (Guanyuan, Zhongwan and Zusanli) and eat warm food (ginger in summer); People with yang deficiency can also apply moxibustion around the summer solstice, which can improve their physique;
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the summer solstice is the season when the yang is the most abundant. On this day, the yang is extremely strong, and the yin begins to grow from this day. Health care should follow the nature's temperament, on the one hand, protect the yang, and don't let it get too strong and cause excessive internal heat, on the other hand, nourish yin and regulate breath, and maintain the heart.
The day from summer solstice is the longest day in the northern hemisphere and the most prosperous season for the sun. Therefore, health preservation should conform to the characteristics of abundant yang in summer, and pay attention to protecting yang from all aspects to keep the qi flowing smoothly.
The first is to adjust the schedule. After the summer solstice, we should go to bed late and get up early to adapt to the changes of nature. In addition, reasonable arrangement of lunch break can avoid the heat at noon on the one hand and restore energy on the other. If you are engaged in outdoor work, you should avoid the scorching sun and do a good job of sun protection.
Conditioning: "Treating winter diseases in summer" is the right time.
Treating winter diseases in summer is a very important preventive medicine thought in China's traditional medicine. "Winter disease" is a disease that easily occurs in winter, such as asthma, cold rhinitis, respiratory diseases, and some old people's low back and leg pain. In summer, the yang of the human body reaches the peak of the four seasons. At this time, when treating winter diseases, the accumulated cold is easy to drive away, and the disease resistance can be enhanced.
It is hot in summer, and it is vulnerable to wind, cold and dampness. When sleeping, it is not suitable for electric fans to blow directly. In an air-conditioned room, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor should not be too large, which is not suitable for camping at night.
