1 cupping
This is a Chinese medicine therapy. Many people with rheumatism or other diseases in their lives like cupping to improve. Among them, it is most suitable to dispel dampness and cold in dog days, and cupping is recommended. Because doing so can not only dispel cold and dampness, but also dredge meridians and let qi and blood circulate better.
However, not everyone can pull cupping. I suggest you go to the Chinese medicine hospital for a check-up before cupping and ask Chinese medicine practitioners if they can pull it out. If you can do cupping according to the doctor's instructions. Don't rush to the health center, because many health center staff have not received formal training, and things are easy to happen.
If you want to cupping, you must go to a Chinese medicine hospital, and it is best to choose an older doctor, because they have more experience and are not prone to accidents. Some young doctors are inexperienced, and skin damage is likely to occur during cupping, which is not good for their health.
Step 2 wipe
This is also a Chinese medicine therapy. Scraping has the function of expelling wind and dispelling cold. If you want to get rid of dampness and cold, you can choose to scrape. However, note that scraping must meet some conditions, and not everyone can do it. Therefore, when you choose scraping, eliminating dampness and eliminating cold, you must tell your doctor about some diseases you have, so that the doctor can judge whether you can scrape.
If you can't, don't do it by force, otherwise it will bring harm to your body. For example, people with damaged skin, people with serious heart, lung, liver and kidney diseases such as heart disease, kidney disease and liver disease, people with bleeding tendency, people with mental illness, etc. ...
Soak your feet
Although it is hot in dog days, you can also soak your feet. It can be said that soaking hot feet is suitable all year round. It is suggested that people who are wet, cold and heavy insist on soaking hot feet every night, because soaking feet can warm the whole body, lead to a lot of sweating, and have the effect of eliminating dampness and dispelling cold.
However, it should be noted that the foot soaking time should not be too long, otherwise the amount of sweating will increase, and excessive sweating will easily hurt blood and cause damage to the body.
What food is good to eat in dog days?
1, mutton
In dog days, it is easy to accumulate heat inside the human body. At this time, you should drink some mutton soup in moderation, which will help your body sweat. In the process of sweating, you can also take away the heat accumulated in the five internal organs and expel toxins from the body. If you add a proper amount of minced garlic, Chili oil and vinegar to the mutton soup, it will be more effective to remove dampness and cold with the mutton after cooking.
2. Mung beans
After entering the dog days, many people are prone to skin problems such as itching and rash after sun exposure. It is suggested that you can drink mung bean soup to help clear away heat and toxic materials and relieve skin problems.
But also has the function of relieving summer heat and vexation. In hot weather, people easily feel irritable and angry. I suggest drinking mung bean soup to improve it. But remember, people with diarrhea and limb weakness had better not drink it, so as not to aggravate discomfort.
