The strong culture of traditional Chinese medicine not only makes Jiangsu famous for traditional Chinese medicine, but also integrates traditional Chinese medicine into the lives of Jiangsu people. At the "20021Yangtze River Delta Health Summit and the Second Chinese Medicine Expo", five Chinese medicine professionals in Jiangsu shared their regimen, which was super practical!
I have a small eating habit, that is, I like to eat some tender ginger in the morning.
Traditional Chinese medicine should conform to nature and integrate nature with man. The spirit of the sun rises in the morning, reaches its peak at noon, and then begins to land. Therefore, eating ginger in the morning contributes to the rise of yang, while eating ginger at night will destroy this rule. There is a dish called tender ginger in Yangzhou side dishes. Ginger can be eaten with breakfast and ginger slices can be soaked in vinegar in advance. There are different kinds of ginger. Generally speaking, old ginger has a good anti-vomiting effect, while tender ginger has a better aphrodisiac effect. Vinegar has the function of nourishing yin, especially for middle-aged women. And with ginger, it can achieve the effect of complementary yin and yang.
When I feel that I have symptoms of yin deficiency in my life, I will also make tea with chrysanthemum and medlar for a period of time. Now this season, dried tangerine peel will be added to balance qi and blood.
In sports, Baduanjin is most suitable for middle-aged and elderly people. Small floor space, short time, but can mobilize the whole body. Young people have strong qi and blood functions, so they can exercise with a little more exercise. However, for middle-aged and elderly people, it is more appropriate to have peace of qi, blood and viscera, so we should choose some peaceful exercise.
Now that the economy is developed, there are more exchanges between the north and the south, and some Sichuan and Hunan dishes are spread to the south as delicacies. But I don't eat spicy, fried or cold food.
Because spicy and fried foods are easy to produce phlegm and dampness when they enter the body, they also consume body fluids; Cold food will damage the yang and produce blood stasis. I usually tell patients not to eat directly from the refrigerator.
I always go to work by subway in order to force myself to exercise. It takes 10 minutes to walk home from the subway and 10 minutes to walk to the hospital from the subway. You can walk nearly 1 hour at the end of the day, and walk about 8000 to 100 steps every day.
Both men and women must sleep every night from 10: 30 to 1 1: 00. Occasionally busy with work and many things are inevitable, but after treatment, it is necessary to adjust immediately and return to normal work and rest.
In addition, my personality is more cheerful and I am hardly angry. Maintaining a happy mood, good eating habits and a certain amount of exercise are more effective than eating health care products and skin care products.
I like to eat some mulberry leaves this season. The head of mulberry leaves is the tender leaves of mulberry leaves. You can make tea or soup, or you can add some medlar and American ginseng. It can clear away heat, promote diuresis and lower blood pressure. And they are all traditional Chinese medicines with the same origin of medicine and food, so don't worry about eating bad health.
The rising temperature in summer will easily aggravate people's anxiety, while irritability will make people uneasy and aggravate the symptoms of irritability. At this time, students will make some small tea bags with roses, peaches and jasmine. When people listen to scented tea, they think it is exclusive to women. Actually, it is also suitable for men. You can also add some dried tangerine peel, which has the effect of soothing the liver and relieving depression.
Euryale ferox is a commonly used medicinal material in clinic. Jiangsu has a long history of cultivation and is widely used. Entering the spleen and kidney meridian can not only benefit the kidney, but also strengthen the spleen, which is a good tonic in summer. In the family, it is a good match to cook porridge with barley, which has the effect of eliminating dampness. You can put some Schisandra chinensis in the stew. Schisandra chinensis tastes sour. When eaten in this season, it can astringe lung meridian, dissipate heat, eliminate phlegm and damp, and reduce fire.
Summer is the season of high incidence of spleen and stomach diseases, especially in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Take our Wumen area as an example, the climate has two main characteristics, one is hot, and the other is humid. This is easy to hurt the spleen and stomach, causing abdominal pain, vomiting and acute gastroenteritis. In addition, being cold in summer, such as low air conditioning and eating more cold drinks, lowers the temperature of the digestive tract, which is not conducive to digestion and absorption. Therefore, at this time, health care should pay attention to strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness, regulating qi and regulating the stomach.
Pogostemon, Coix seed, Poria cocos, Euryale euryales and so on can be used as soup in life. When I cook porridge at home, I like to grab a handful of barley. You can also buy some musk tea in Chinese medicine shops, which can not only dispel dampness, but also promote gastrointestinal movement and inhibit some harmful bacteria.
Many folk customs in Suzhou also reflect the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine. For example, after the Dragon Boat Festival, every household will buy fresh mugwort leaves, garlic and atractylodes rhizome, make them into sachets and hang them at the door or in the room. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that incense can dispel dampness and remove filth and turbidity. These sachets, on the one hand, can dispel dampness, on the other hand, they can freshen the air and resist infectious diseases.
Generally speaking, dry eyes, dry mouth and dry skin are all symptoms of "dryness". If it is not relieved or even aggravated, it may be Sjogren's syndrome, which belongs to autoimmune disease and needs to be treated in rheumatology department.
In life, it is necessary to ban spicy food or food that is easy to get angry, and eat more cool and slippery food. For example, you can use Ophiopogon japonicus to make tea. Ophiopogon japonicus has the functions of nourishing yin, promoting fluid production, moistening lung and benefiting stomach, and is mainly used to treat body fluid deficiency. You can also use Ophiopogon japonicus as a dietary remedy, such as stewed Sydney with Ophiopogon japonicus and Polygonatum odoratum, which is not only fragrant and delicious, but also has the effect of nourishing yin and moistening lung.
Stewed Sydney with Ophiopogon japonicus and Polygonatum odoratum: Take appropriate amount of Sydney, Ophiopogon japonicus, Polygonatum odoratum, lily, tremella, crystal sugar and Lycium barbarum. Soak tremella in advance, put it in a pot with Ophiopogon japonicus and Polygonatum odoratum, and cook it with slow fire; Peel and seed Sydney, and cut into pieces; When the tremella is cooked until it is thick, add lily, medlar and sliced Sydney, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes.
Patients with Sjogren's syndrome are often accompanied by joint pain, especially in wet or cold environment, so cold and humidity should be avoided. In addition, you can do moxibustion at the painful part to dispel cold and dampness.
