This legend tells people that the immortal's strong body can't resist the wind behind his head, which shows that the wind behind his head is very harmful to his body.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the phrase "immortals are also afraid of the wind behind their heads" has reference significance for our health care. Chinese medicine believes that the wind is the length of all diseases, and the ancients said that "the wind is like avoiding an arrow." Here, I would like to introduce my knowledge of common cold to my friends, hoping to help your health care.
Evil wind is harmful to health and is formed by natural airflow. The wind harmful to human health is called evil wind in Chinese medicine. Wind has the characteristics of continuous motion, and its attribute is yang. Because the wind is pervasive, it can actively develop in depth. If the human body is attacked by a common cold, it is easy to bring cold, dampness, heat, dryness and heat into the human body with the wind, and then attack the skin, causing physical discomfort and then attack.
The skin pores, meridians and acupoints, which are most vulnerable to wind, are important channels for energy exchange between the human body and the outside world, and are also places where common cold is easy to invade. However, pores have a sensitive opening and closing function, and will close when they are attacked by evil winds in the natural environment. Chinese medicine believes that lungs and skin are the first line of defense against diseases, which is the reason.
Meridian acupoints, especially those whose names are related to wind, are often in circulation, and their ability to resist evil wind is poor, so they are easily damaged by common cold, especially Fengfu and Fengchi acupoints at the back of the brain, which are close to the back of the brain and easily affect the health of the brain center after a common cold, so it is best to protect the back of the brain.
Measures to prevent the invasion of cold The first thing to prevent the invasion of cold is to do a good job of protection. It is windy and cold in spring, so be careful not to take off your cotton-padded clothes too early, especially to cover the acupuncture points behind your head with clothes like scarves. In summer, people's pores are open, and they are most vulnerable to cold and dampness. Be careful not to stay in an air-conditioned environment for too long, and be careful not to let the wind blow directly behind your head when you sleep.
The cold wind blows suddenly in autumn, so pay attention to keeping your neck warm. If you stay in a warm environment for too long in winter, you should get dressed in advance when you go out, give your body a time to adapt to the cold, and keep your head warm. Massage Fengfu and Fengchi points frequently at ordinary times can stimulate meridians, improve the body's ability to cope with the common cold, and play a very good preventive role. If you feel unwell after the wind, you can massage or moxibustion Fengfu, Fengchi and Dazhui to dispel pathogenic factors.
