Spring: expelling hepatobiliary toxicity
Spring corresponds to the liver and gallbladder, so we should seize the time to expel the poison of the liver and gallbladder. The accumulation of toxic substances in the liver and gallbladder will affect the antidiarrheal function, such as long spots on the face, black nails and hyperplasia of mammary glands. Various vegetables such as spring tea, spring honey, lemon, bamboo shoots, aloe and wormwood stalks can be used in diet to soothe the liver and benefit the gallbladder, and drinking more water is also effective. People with bad liver-qi often feel unhappy and dark, so they can drink jasmine and rose petals instead of tea. People with spots on their faces can use Xiaoyao pills; Women with hyperplasia of mammary glands can eat Jiawei Xiaoyao Pill; Soaking medlar and mulberry in water also helps to expel hepatobiliary toxicity. Detoxification requires not only medication, but also mood adjustment, laughter, and massage at Taichong point (located in the depression between the first toe and the second toe of the instep) and Xingjian point (located at the junction of red and white meat between the first toe and the second toe of the instep).
Summer: dispel heart fire poison, heat poison and blood poison.
Hot summer corresponds to the heart, and it is most important to expel the poison from the heart. Heart fire is manifested as sores on the tongue and mouth, upset and insomnia. You should eat more bitter food, such as bitter vegetables and bitter gourd. You can also drink 5 grams of bamboo leaves or 2-3 grams of lotus plumule with water, and discharge the fire through diuresis in the small intestine. It should be noted that bamboo leaves and lotus seeds are cold, so it is not advisable to drink more, so as not to hurt the spleen and stomach. Usually, you can massage Shaofu point (where the little finger tip points when making a fist) and Shenmen point (the little finger side of wrinkles on the inside of the wrist), which also has an effect. The "duty time" of the heart meridian during the day is noon, so taking a nap at noon every day helps to reduce the heart fire.
The temperature is high in summer and the sun is poisonous. Under the scorching high temperature, people are prone to accumulate poison, which is manifested as upset, sweating and less urine. It is suggested to eat watermelon and mung bean soup to deal with it.
In summer, people like to eat out, and often solve their dinner in the street and food stalls. Eating too much food and additives at ordinary times will accumulate blood poison in the body and cause dizziness and nausea. These are all manifestations of mild poisoning, especially those with poor liver detoxification function. It is recommended to eat more grapes, watermelons, mung beans and green tea to detoxify. You can also massage Shaofu point at ordinary times.
Long summer: expelling dampness poison, spleen and stomach poison, sweat poison and insect poison.
The long summer is midsummer season. The heat and rain and fog are intertwined, and the humid air and continuous high temperature make people "sauna" almost every day. The most important thing this season is to discharge wet poison. People with heavy dampness and toxicity should drink more loofah soup, winter melon soup, barley porridge and mung bean soup if they feel sick, greasy fur, heavy breath, bad appetite and uncomfortable stool. If the nausea is serious, mint and ginger can be eaten cold. If it is not enough, use Huoxiang Zhengqi water.
The viscera corresponding to the long summer is the spleen and stomach, and it is also very important to detoxify the spleen and stomach. In midsummer, the humidity is heavy. If you eat too much, it is easy to form damp heat in your body, which is characterized by bad breath and smelly stool. At this time, we should eat foods that promote diuresis, and mung bean soup and green vegetables are the best. Massage Zusanli (three inches below the outer knee) and Fenglong (eight inches above the tip of the outer ankle). The "duty time" of the spleen and stomach is in the morning, usually 7~9 o'clock. After breakfast, you can soak hawthorn, dried tangerine peel and coix seed in water to help digestion and eliminate dampness.
In hot weather, people will sweat when they are slightly active. Sweating at this time is good for your health. If sweat can't be discharged, it will accumulate in the body and become poison. White-collar workers who stay in air-conditioned rooms for a long time should pay the most attention. The methods of sweating poison include proper exercise, warm bath, soaking in warm bath and eating spicy food to help the body sweat.
The long summer is still the season of pest control. If children don't pay attention to hygiene when eating, they will inevitably have pinworms and roundworms in their stomachs. Parents are advised to go to pediatrics and ask a doctor to prescribe insect repellent.
Autumn: expelling lung poison, phlegm poison, intestinal poison and skin poison.
Autumn corresponds to the lungs, and expelling lung poison is the most important thing, also called qi poison, which is manifested as poor breathing, chest tightness and expectoration. You should take more deep breaths to get rid of the turbid air in your lungs. It's just dawn in the morning, and it's time for the lung meridian to be on duty. At this time, it is very beneficial to stand on the balcony and take a deep breath while stretching your limbs. Some people like to go out in the morning and call for mountains and rivers in places with fresh air, which is also a good way to purify their hearts. Massage Hegu (located at the tiger's mouth on the back of the hand, at the depression of the first metacarpal bone and the second metacarpal bone) and Taiyuan (located at the root of the wrist and thumb) at ordinary times is also good for expelling lung poison.
It is also important to expel phlegm and poison in autumn. People with excessive phlegm should eat more radishes, lilies, almonds, tremella and pears (Sydney is the best), which is helpful for moistening dryness and resolving phlegm.
Lung and large intestine are both exterior and interior, and enterotoxin should be excreted in autumn. Intestinal toxicity is manifested as constipation, halitosis, acne on the face, toothache and oral ulcer. Vegetables and radishes should be given priority to in the diet to achieve the purpose of unobstructed stool. The "duty time" of the large intestine meridian is 5~7 am, which is the time to get up. At this time, drinking a cup of warm water can play a very good role in promoting defecation and expelling enterotoxin. If there is no stool at this time, you can massage Tianshu point (both sides of navel 1.5 inch).
The lung governs the fur, and the skin is easy to itch and dry in autumn, so it is necessary to discharge the skin poison. The methods are: sweating properly, taking a warm bath and drinking mung bean soup. If the skin itches badly, you can use 5 grams of Schizonepeta tenuifolia soaked in water instead of tea, which can stop the itching of the skin and is very safe. In severe cases, you can take Jingfangbaidu Powder or Fangfeng Tongsheng Powder.
Winter: expelling kidney poison, cold poison and fat poison.
Winter corresponds to the kidney, and the kidney poison should be discharged. The kidney is an organ that produces urine, and the excretion of nephrotoxin is urinary toxin. Because of the cold weather, people are generally too lazy to move and drink less water, which is easy to accumulate urine poison, which is characterized by less urine and dark color. 5~7 pm is the duty time of kidney meridian. During this time, you must drink water to flush the "physiological toilet" of bladder and kidney, which can prevent urinary calculi. You can also massage Yongquan point (the depression in the front of the foot) and Sanyinjiao point (3 inches above the ankle), and beat the kidney point (the back, the position is equal to the navel, and the spine is 65438+).
It's freezing in winter, and the cold air attacks people, so it's necessary to drive away the cold poison. There are cold toxins in the body, mainly manifested as fear of cold, stomachache and diarrhea. There are two ways to deal with it. One is to put more ginger and cinnamon when cooking, and the other is to soak your feet with hot water or take a hot bath before going to bed.
Excessive nutrition and less exercise in autumn and winter will inevitably lead to increased blood lipids and weight gain. At this time, we should pay attention to eliminating lipotoxicity. Crataegus pinnatifida, auricularia auricula, cucumber, tomato, Chinese cabbage, radish and various coarse grains are all good foods for removing lipotoxicity.
