Three main points of health preservation in Grain Rain
First, Grain Rain solar terms need to prevent arthritis and neuralgia.
After Grain Rain, the humidity in the air gradually increased, and the temperature rose before summer, so the humidity in the human body could not be discharged.
Will make the human body uncomfortable from the inside out. From the perspective of TCM health preservation, in an excessively hot and humid environment, dampness can easily invade the human body, leading to physical fatigue, fatigue, loss of appetite, joint muscle soreness and so on. Those who suffer from various joint diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis are also easily induced in this solar term. Therefore, Grain Rain should pay attention to eliminating dampness and keeping in good health. This season is also a high incidence of various neuralgia, such as trigeminal neuralgia, intercostal neuralgia, sciatica and so on. Trigeminal neuralgia is a kind of recurrent, short and severe pain in one or two trigeminal nerve distribution areas. Most patients are middle-aged women. Acupuncture or microvascular decompression has a good therapeutic effect on this disease. Its etiology is similar to sciatica, which is caused by the invasion of moisture into meridians and the exuberance of deficiency fire. However, intercostal neuralgia is mostly caused by climate change, which leads to emotional stagnation and liver qi stagnation. Once the onset does not need to be nervous, it can be treated according to different causes. The former focuses on eliminating dampness and health care, dredging meridians, clearing lung-heat and reducing fire; The latter focuses on regulating emotions, soothing the liver and regulating qi.
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes that rubbing the heart meridian at noon every day, that is, when the human body is full of yang, especially rubbing heat or moxibustion at Shaohai point on the inside of elbow joint and Shenshu point on the back of waist, can not only prevent arthritis, but also be the most effective method of tonifying kidney and eliminating dampness, and can also prevent and treat related diseases caused by kidney deficiency.
In daily life, we should eat more foods that can dispel dampness and benefit water. The foods with good dampness eliminating effect are: white lentils, red beans, Huiren, yam, lotus leaves, Euryale ferox, wax gourd, dried tangerine peel, white radish, lotus root, kelp, bamboo shoots, herring and bean sprouts. For example, when cooking porridge in the morning, you can add more Huiren and red beans. Eat more seasonal vegetables, such as Toona sinensis and spinach. And usually use ginger glutinous rice Amomum porridge and Chen Pizhou to regulate the spleen and stomach; Ji zi, Huaiju, Rose and Chrysanthemum can be used to make tea to prevent heat accumulation in the body, so as to tonify the kidney and strengthen the spleen.
Maintain a balanced diet, and maintain the corresponding proportion of protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamins and minerals in food. Patients with gastropathy should eat a low-fat diet, supplement starch and protein, and should not exercise excessively after meals. Eat less acidic food and spicy food, such as dog meat and pepper. To prevent pathogenic heat from transforming into fire and damaging liver and kidney.
Second, Grain Rain nourishes spleen and kidney to prevent stomach trouble.
After Grain Rain, spleen function was vigorous. The vigorous spleen function makes the digestive function of the stomach in a vigorous state, and the secretion of gastric acid increases. In addition, the body can't adapt to climate change, and improper diet can easily damage the stomach, which also increases the risk of stomach diseases, especially gastritis and gastric ulcer. Often manifested as epigastric discomfort, precordial burning sensation, accompanied by loss of appetite, nausea, pantothenic acid, bitter taste, fatigue, and even dizziness. If you have recurrent epigastric pain, especially before meals, which is relieved after meals, and there are symptoms such as hematemesis, tarry stool and anemia, it means that you have Danyang disease.
Stomach diseases are generally lingering and difficult to heal. So in spring, for patients with stomach problems. Prevention is more important than cure. Because stomach diseases are mostly related to environmental and mental factors, the following points should be done in prevention:
First, mentally, we should relax and eliminate tension.
Second, life should be regular. Ensure rest, eat three meals a day regularly and quantitatively, and eat less and more meals.
Drink more water. Avoid cold, greasy, spicy and salty foods.
The third is comprehensive drug conditioning. Chronic hair authors can take Fuzi Lizhong Pill or Xiangsha Jianwei Pill at the onset if the symptoms belong to spleen-stomach deficiency-cold type. If it belongs to the type of liver-qi invading the stomach, you can take Shugan Jianwei Pill or Xiaoyao Pill for treatment at the onset.
Third, mental conditioning is essential during Grain Rain.
Grain Rain's health preservation is related to the next season, which can be explained by the principle that the five elements generate each other. Spring belongs to wood and summer belongs to fire. Wood can make a fire. If the wood is not well maintained, it will affect the occurrence of fire-induced cold injury in the next stage.
When Grain Rain enters the solar term, people have to go to bed late and get up early, and the key point of keeping in good health before going to bed is mental adjustment, that is, psychological adjustment. First of all, you should abandon all distractions half an hour before going to bed, so that your mind can be stable and your mind can be quiet, and you can achieve the state of forgetting yourself. Second, we should do some exercise. Let the body get hot. Third, wash your face and feet before going to bed, massage your face and rub your feet. Soak your feet with hot water slightly higher than body temperature, and the water temperature should be between 40℃ and 45℃, which can promote blood circulation, warm the viscera, accelerate circulation, eliminate fatigue of the day and help you fall asleep. Take a few minutes to do some simple actions before getting up early every morning, such as rubbing your face, jumping around your brain, stretching your abdomen, patting your body, etc. This will not only make you energetic all day, improve work efficiency, but also help to strengthen your physique, promote physical and mental health and prolong your life.
Grain Rain, like Tomb-Sweeping Day, is also a good time for beautiful spring. The air is fresh, and there are a lot of negative ions in the air. Best for air bath and sunbathing. When you have time, you can join the embrace of nature, which can not only improve your immunity, but also cheer you up. If the human body is exposed to sunlight and fresh air, it can exercise the respiratory and circulatory system and improve the cardiopulmonary function; Can regulate the central nervous system and improve thinking ability; Can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, stimulate appetite and improve digestive function; Increase leg strength and make bones and muscles more flexible. Physical fitness has improved, and it can resist the "spring epidemic" and make full preparations for summer.
