Director Huang Donghui of the Department of Respiratory Medicine, Zhuhai Hospital of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine pointed out that treating winter diseases in summer is a characteristic therapy of traditional Chinese medicine, which has obvious advantages in treating and preventing common chronic respiratory diseases. Acupuncture, moxibustion, scraping and oral and external use of traditional Chinese medicine can often achieve "magical" curative effects.
Speaking of "treating winter diseases in summer", many friends are both familiar and unfamiliar. They have heard of it many times, but they don't know which diseases are "winter diseases" and how to treat them in summer.
In fact, the so-called "winter disease" refers to diseases that are easy to attack or aggravate when the weather is cold in winter. Specifically, among respiratory diseases, we are familiar with bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic cough, recurrent respiratory infections and so on. In recent years, due to the change of natural climate, abuse of antibiotics and hormones, excessive use of air conditioning and other bad habits, the yang of the human body is consumed all the time, and the number of people suffering from "winter disease" is increasing day by day.
For this kind of disease, winter disease and summer treatment can often achieve obvious curative effect. Through acupoint application, acupuncture, oral administration of drugs and a series of traditional Chinese medicine characteristics therapy. In summer, when the yang is strong, the human body should be treated with drugs or non-drugs, so as to warm yang, dispel cold and dredge collaterals, thus achieving the purpose of preventing and treating diseases prone to occur in winter.
"Treating winter diseases in summer" mainly treats and prevents diseases by strengthening yang in summer, so why do you need to support yang in summer when the sun is hot and the yang is strong?
Director Huang Donghui explained that the summer weather is hot, sweating is excessive, qi and blood are distributed on the body surface, and the viscera are empty. Therefore, at this time, health care should not only take care of body fluid, but also take care of yang.
Clinically, a considerable number of asthma patients belong to yang deficiency constitution. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, yang should be nourished in spring and summer, so targeted treatment for asthma patients in summer can often play a very good role and prevent the onset and aggravation of asthma in winter.
Supplementing yang in summer is also suitable for the treatment of COPD. Generally speaking, all kinds of discomfort symptoms of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease will be significantly reduced in summer, and their condition is relatively stable, which also provides conditions for rehabilitation treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
As a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, we should make good use of this time, strive to enhance our immunity, lay a good physical foundation, and strive to win smoother breathing in winter. Through proper exercise, we can improve our immunity and resist the invasion of various diseases and pathogens, but at the same time, we should also pay attention to avoid excessive exercise. It is suggested to choose relatively stable exercise methods such as walking and Tai Ji Chuan.
Prevention before illness is also an important treatment concept of traditional Chinese medicine. The best way to deal with "winter disease" is to prevent the occurrence of the disease. Director Huang Donghui reminded netizens that the prevention and care of respiratory diseases can be done in summer:
1, rational use of air conditioning
As an essential cool artifact in summer, air conditioning can bring us cool in hot summer, but if it is used improperly, it will easily lead to danger. Air conditioners that are not used for a long time are easy to accumulate microorganisms such as dust, mites and bacteria. In addition, it is rainy and humid in summer, which is easy to breed mold. These microorganisms are easy to induce asthma. Therefore, when using the air conditioner for the first time, it should be thoroughly cleaned. In addition, turning on the air conditioner for a long time is also easy to damage the body. When turning on the air conditioner, the temperature should not be too low and you should not sit in the direction of the air outlet of the air conditioner.
2, a reasonable diet
There are many kinds of diets in summer, so the diet should be moderate. Don't be greedy for cold, eat less cold drinks, so as not to condense the cold deposited in the body. In addition, seafood and other hair products and fatty and greasy foods are prone to phlegm and dampness, which should be reduced appropriately. Summer diet should be based on heatstroke prevention, nourishing yin and promoting fluid production. We recommend mung beans, lotus seeds, coix seed, melon and fruit, lily, Polygonatum odoratum, lean meat, eel and duck.
Step 3 quit smoking
And avoid contact with harmful gases and particles. Smoking is one of the main risk factors of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In addition to smoking, inhaling other harmful gases or particles will also affect respiratory health and even cause or aggravate respiratory diseases.
4. Strengthen physical exercise
Proper exercise can effectively enhance the body's resistance and improve respiratory function. It should be noted that patients with respiratory diseases need to consult a doctor to complete the exercise plan before taking part in exercise, so as to avoid excessive exercise and increase the respiratory burden.
