Pay special attention to physical changes in summer. Daily diet and routine are the key factors, so how to keep fit in summer? How to operate? Let me talk about some of my experiences in practical work.
There is a saying in Inner Diameter: "Nourish yang in spring and summer, nourish yin in autumn and winter". In the hot summer of the year, many friends will feel upset, fidgety, chest tightness, shortness of breath, sweating profusely, restless sleep, or short urine.
These have a lot to do with the seasons. When the sun is at its peak in summer, the temperature outside keeps rising, and the fire in our own bodies will be more vigorous. Both inside and outside are in a high temperature state, plus staying in an air-conditioned room for too long, eating more iced drinks, cold drinks and iced watermelons, which excessively consumes the yang in our body, so it is easy to cause some diseases mentioned above.
We know that in summer, the yang is gathered on the body surface, but the body is in a state of relative deficiency of yang. This is the best time for us to raise Yang.
Some people will choose to use moxibustion to nourish the yang, and use moxibustion to moxibustion some points passing through meridians to supplement the yang in the body. Some people will choose some Chinese herbal medicines to soak their feet, such as wormwood, ginger and pepper. , can improve the cold or cold in the body.
To raise yang in summer, we should avoid excessive consumption of our yang, not too greedy for cold, cold and air conditioning. We should carry out appropriate activities and keep a happy mood, which will also have a good effect on improving some of our current symptoms.
We often say that peace of mind is naturally cool. In summer, five elements correspond to fire, five internal organs correspond to heart, and six internal organs correspond to small intestine. Heart meridian is from 1 1:00 in the morning to 1:00 in the afternoon. These two hours are the best time to recuperate, so it is also very meaningful to take a lunch break or close your eyes for a while during this time.
Summer is the season of the heart, and the five elements correspond to fire. The heart fire in the body will be stronger, and the temperature outside will be higher, which will easily lead to some diseases. Chinese medicine believes that protecting the liver means protecting the heart.
In summer, it is best to keep a good mood and a cheerful attitude. We can cultivate some hobbies and immerse ourselves in them. When we are quiet, we will not be easily influenced by the outside world and the weather, thus protecting our hearts.
Eat more nourishing foods, such as red beans, lotus seeds, tremella, white gourd and so on. There are many kinds of seasonal fruits and vegetables, so you can eat more seasonal food according to the season to nourish your soul.
Suggestions on summer diet are determined according to the seasonal characteristics of summer. Summer is characterized by intense heat and heavy humidity. Many people are afraid of heat, sweat easily and get bored easily, so they should choose some foods that can clear away heat and damp. The season is the best. For example, winter melon, towel gourd, yam, lotus root, lotus seed, red bean, mung bean and so on.
The most popular is our sour plum soup, which has the effects of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, eliminating dampness and clearing heat. Sour plum soup contains dark plum, which can restrain sweat, promote fluid production and quench thirst, while hawthorn can help us excrete, improve the function of our spleen and stomach, help us absorb and digest, and can also strengthen the spleen and stimulate appetite, and help digestion.
It is best to choose the right food according to your physique.
Mosquitoes are the most annoying thing in hot summer, and the measures to repel mosquitoes are also the different skills of the Eight Immortals, such as electric mosquito swatter, mosquito net, mosquito repellent liquid, insecticide and other mosquito repellent products.
Today, I recommend Chinese medicine bags to you, which are used to repel mosquitoes and prevent influenza. Every year in early summer and around the Dragon Boat Festival, I will make some traditional Chinese medicine sachets and give them to my relatives and friends around me. Children can also use them to repel mosquitoes and prevent influenza.
The main components of sachet are some aromatic, dampness-removing and mosquito-repellent components, such as clove, Pogostemon cablin, perilla stem, cassia twig, Acorus gramineus, Artemisia argyi, cinnamon and fennel. We pack these herbs, put them in sachets and hang them on our schoolbags. Children like to hang them around their necks, or put them in some corners of their homes, such as the kitchen, bathroom, balcony, bedside, etc., to make this summer quiet and mosquito-free.
There is also an important magic weapon for keeping in good health in summer, that is, the three-day patch for treating winter diseases in summer. Generally speaking, the dog days are between the two solar terms of long summer and beginning of autumn, and the time is generally around 30 days, with ten days as one volt.
This month is the hottest, wettest and sultry day of the year. Because many middle-aged and elderly people came into contact with this concept earlier, they will automatically go to the hospital to make an appointment for the clinic in the dog days before every dog day.
Now it is increasingly chosen by various young parents and children. Sanfutie is mainly aimed at the symptoms of respiratory diseases, gynecological diseases and bone and joint diseases. Some people with weak constitution are always prone to illness, and these situations are very suitable.
Doctors usually come to dialectical everyone's physical condition to choose the appropriate acupoints for application. Generally, posting continuously for three years is a cycle. There are also some people who are not suitable for sticking the three-volt patch, such as people who are allergic to the powder or plaster of the three-volt patch, some pregnant women, people with ulcerated skin, especially young children. This kind of people had better not stick moxibustion, but stick it together under the guidance and dialectical advice of professional doctors.
