1. Vulnerable parts to be protected
head
Vulnerability index: ★★★★★
Dry your hair immediately after washing it.
Chinese medicine says that the head is the place where the yang of the human body gathers, and the yang of the whole body rises from the head.
Many women like to wash their hair in the morning and go out when their hair is not dry, which is very wrong. As we all know, when wet hair is blown by the wind, the vasoconstriction of the scalp stimulates the nerves, which will soon cause headaches. If this happens for a long time, the moisture in the head can easily enter the body, causing the body to catch cold, and the blood in the head is blocked by the cold, which oppresses the blood vessels in the head and causes migraine.
Expert tip:
Don't go out in the morning when your hair is not dry, and don't sleep at night when your hair is not dry. You'd better choose a beautiful hat to wear when you go out, so that your whole body will be warm.
neck
Vulnerability index: ★★★★★
A woman's neck is most afraid of freezing.
The neck is the "fortress" of human body. For example, in winter, if you don't wear high-necked clothes and a little cold air gets into your neck, you will have a cold war all over. Therefore, the neck is most afraid of freezing.
Especially when modern people use computers for a long time, it is easy to cause stiff neck muscles. If you add wind and cold, your back will catch cold, and your muscles will be prone to cramps and pains. This kind of pain will radiate to the shoulder and scapula, leading to headache, dizziness, repeated stiff neck and cervical spondylosis.
Expert tip:
Even if you have a beautiful neck and are outdoors in winter, hide it. Wearing scarves and scarves can not only keep warm, but also eliminate brain fatigue and relieve hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and insomnia that are easy to aggravate in winter.
hand
Vulnerability index: ★★
Leather gloves are not as good as velvet gloves.
It is said that the hand is a woman's second face, and it is the easiest to expose a woman's age and living conditions.
When cold weather comes, women's hands have also become the target of cold weather attacks, so be sure to apply hand cream after washing your hands and wear gloves when going out.
Expert tip:
Soft and fluffy gloves are better than leather gloves from the point of view of warmth and comfort. Plush gloves can be stretched and elastic at will, while leather gloves are either loose and inconvenient to use, or they are too tight to affect finger blood circulation.
Wearing hand cream is a very important part of hand protection in winter. If you have become a "housewife's hand", you might as well wear gloves after applying cream, or wrap your hands with plastic wrap for a few minutes to strengthen absorption and nourishment.
skin
Vulnerability index: ★★★★
Don't rub hard when taking a bath.
Almost all women like to be clean, so when taking a bath, in addition to using shower gel, many people will also use some scrub or take a bath towel to rub their skin red.
In addition, many women like to soak in hot springs in winter, which is good for their health and can improve microcirculation. However, it is good to soak in hot springs moderately, just twice a month, and get up every 5~ 10 minutes to have a rest when soaking in hot springs.
Expert tip:
You don't need to wash it too clean when taking a bath, because when the skin is dry, friction will destroy the natural protective layer on the skin surface and cause itching. So take a bath, just drop some shower gel on the bath flowers and foam, and don't always think about washing off the grease on your body.
It is also important to care for the skin internally. You can eat some foods that moisten dryness and nourish yin, nourish yin and blood, and moisturize the skin, such as yellow-green fruits and vegetables, nuts and so on. You can also stew yourself some nourishing soups rich in collagen, such as pig's trotters soup and bone soup.
Waist and abdomen
Vulnerability index: ★★★★★★★
"Waist protection" binds the waist and warms the abdomen.
Even on snowy days, beautiful women wear short cotton-padded jackets to go out. The waist and abdomen are most affected by this dress. You know, the waist is a very important part of women, and the uterus and pelvic cavity of the reproductive system are here. If the waist and abdomen catch cold, it is likely to cause some gynecological problems and seriously affect fertility.
Expert tip:
Try to choose some long sweaters, cotton-padded jackets or down jackets in winter. If you really like short styles, you might as well add a "waist protector". Now you can buy elastic waist protectors on the market, which can keep warm and shape, restrain sitting posture and walking posture, tuck in the abdomen and lift the buttocks, and avoid walking and sinking.
foot
Vulnerability index: ★★★★★★★
Take supplements for your feet every day.
For women who know how to take care of themselves, soaking feet before going to bed is a compulsory course, because soaking feet is regarded as a tonic in Chinese medicine, which is very nourishing for women. Women are feminine, naturally prone to cold hands and feet, poor blood circulation, and feet are the farthest part of the body from the heart and need warm care most.
At the same time, if soaking feet is comfortable, it can also improve the problem of cracked heels, because soaking feet can improve the microcirculation of feet and fully nourish the skin of feet.
Expert tip:
Soaking feet is not a matter of soaking in hot water for a few minutes, nor is it a matter of scalding feet with very hot water. In fact, it is unhealthy to soak your feet with sweat, especially in winter. Chinese medicine pays attention to "collection" and should not sweat too much to let the body vent. The correct way is to use water at about 40℃ to soak in the vest and sweat a little.
When soaking your feet, you may wish to add some "materials". For example, adding pepper and dried ginger can warm menstruation, and adding safflower and angelica can help promote blood circulation. The dosage can be arbitrary, just grab one at a time. At present, there are some traditional Chinese medicine effervescent tablets for soaking feet on the market. If they have the function of promoting blood circulation and warming meridians, they are also good.
Boots with round heads and thick soles are the most nourishing.
Wear shoes in winter, the soles should not be too thin, because the ground is cold, and the soles that are too thin often cannot be isolated from the cold of the ground, and it is easy to cool to the heels. Sharp and narrow shoes pinch your toes easily. Originally, the blood circulation of toes was the worst. If you are squeezed by shoes, you are more likely to get frostbite.
Expert tip:
In winter, choose boots with round heads and thick soles to support your feet. Nowadays, many girls like snow boots, which are healthy, comfortable and warm for their feet.
Speaking of feet, I have to mention knees by the way. Beautiful women like to wear skirts with boots and bare knees in the middle, which is very wrong. Because there is no muscle and fat in the knee to keep out the cold, the cold can easily invade it. Therefore, it is best to wear knee pads when going out in winter.

How do women with palace cold constitution need to maintain?
Cold palace constitution refers to the cold uterus caused by deficiency of kidney yang. Generally speaking, the reasons can be attributed to a variety of reasons, mainly because parents are older when they are born, their bodies are yang-deficient, the cold living environment and their own hobbies for cold food can all lead to cold uterus. The harm of palace cold is relatively great. Generally, mild uterine cold can lead to menstrual dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, less menstrual blood or blood clots. Severe uterine cold can lead to endometriosis, chocolate cyst of ovary and infertility. From this point of view, palace cold is a disease that cannot be ignored and needs to be adjusted in time. So how to maintain the constitution of palace cold? Let's have a look.
It is important to keep warm and keep out the cold in the palace.
People with palace cold are generally of cold constitution, which requires us to keep warm in our daily life, not only when the temperature is low in winter, but also when the temperature is high in summer. In an air-conditioned room, pay attention to keep your waist and abdomen warm to avoid catching cold and stimulating the uterus. Although I can't feel the chill at this time, for a long time, this influence is very great. In summer, besides not being greedy for cold, we should also pay attention not to drink too many iced drinks and not to be greedy for cold food. Often some people with cold constitution are prone to gluttony and ice drinking, which makes the cold constitution worse and the palace cold more serious. Therefore, people with cold constitution should try to control the amount of cold drinks even in summer, and never be greedy. Pay attention to keep your abdomen warm during menstruation and avoid cold drinks.
Palace cold constitution diet should be warm.
Because people with palace cold constitution often have insufficient kidney yang, they should try to avoid eating some cold foods such as watermelons and cold drinks in their lives. In the choice of fruits, it can be some warm mangoes, lychees and apples. Pay attention to replenishing qi and blood in diet. You can use some blood-enriching foods such as brown sugar, red dates, lotus seeds, red beans, etc., and try to drink them while they are hot. Food can be moderately warm, but it will lead to excessive internal heat. In short, some warm palace foods are the first choice for people with cold palace constitution. Red bean porridge, peanut pig bone pot and jujube tea are all good choices.
