Damp-heat and blood stasis, detoxification disorder

In Arctic countries or regions, every household has a Finnish bath, and Finnish bath (sauna) is a necessity in daily life. The bathroom is wet, stuffy and hot, and people are steaming until they are red and sweaty. How much sweat does it take to take a shower? The locals also said that it would be more comfortable to take a sauna and let some blood out. This is also a way of survival wisdom and health preservation. Because the local winter is long, the lack of bitter summer consumption, extra energy trapped in the body, people will be very uncomfortable. Therefore, the bathroom in Finland is equivalent to artificial dog days, for people to find the bitter fruit of summer consumption.

Sweating is a metabolic detoxification method that can't be ignored, and it also has a great influence on mood. Some people sweat more obviously than others when they are hot, active, eating and drinking water. According to my observation, such people tend to be healthy, emotionally stable and have unobstructed stools.

In summer, sweating is less and sweating is not smooth, which makes acidic metabolites accumulate and body fluids acidify. Cells, tissues and organs are soaked in dirty body fluids, and the body is a fertile ground full of diseases and sub-health. It's as easy to get sick as holding an empty bowl and pot. Treatment should be good at adjusting physique, and adjusting physique should be good at analyzing the causes of physique deviation. This is the root cause and the overall concept.

Affect energy metabolism

Long-term hypohidrosis, anhidrosis and poor sweating in summer will gradually affect energy metabolism. When you sweat too much or are hungry, people will collapse, be flustered and be weak, which is because of lack of energy. Normal sweating in summer or after exercise is the process of energy consumption in Yang Qi, which is called "sweating when yang is added with yin" by Chinese medicine.

Don't sweat in summer, exercise less in four seasons, eat greasy meals, and excess energy is converted into excess fat. If it is filled under the skin, the body will become obese, if it is stuffed into the abdomen, it will grow into a general's belly, overflow into the blood to form hyperlipidemia, stick to blood vessels to cause arteriosclerosis, fill the liver to form fatty liver, and get diabetes due to pancreatic failure.

Don't say I don't know, I'm shocked. Now people only pay attention to the importance of diet and exercise, but they don't see the importance of sweating and consumption in summer. The ancients worried that heat, dampness, heat, gas consumption and spleen injury would lead to loss of appetite, and there would be "fewer recipients" in autumn and winter. But now, the excess energy and phlegm and blood stasis are reserved for autumn and winter collection.

Affect body fluid circulation and metabolism.

Less sweating, no sweating and poor sweating in summer will also affect body fluid circulation and metabolism. Body fluids should be balanced internally and externally. Eat less, consume more and excrete more, and people will be short of water, hot, hot or dry; Eat more, eat less and excrete less, and people will be obese, edema, edema, depression and phlegm. Sweating is one of the important ways of body fluid metabolism. Poor sweating for a long time will also affect urination, less urine or frequent urination in the toilet, but there is no problem in checking urine routine.

The human body is so wonderful that the sweat pores are blocked, which will be bad for urination. Swelling is also common in women, especially in lower limbs, ankles and feet. In the past, some patients with hypertension had a better blood pressure problem in summer, because in summer, blood vessels were soft and qi and blood were smooth, which lowered blood pressure invisibly. If you don't use it on such a good day, you have to rely too much on air conditioning, and summer and autumn will affect the elasticity of blood vessels artificially. In addition, sweat less and keep moisture moist, can you not inhibit high blood pressure caused by abdominal distension?

"Lung system" is not smooth

Sweating less in summer will make the lung system such as nose, fur and large intestine work poorly. Summer should be a state of loose fur and sweating, "venting". Excessive use of air conditioning, fur closed, lung system "gas can not be vented", often there will be nasal congestion, unfavorable throat, excessive phlegm, chest tightness and bloating, sticky stool, unfavorable urination and so on. Whether the functional systems of nose, fur, large intestine and lung are unobstructed depends on the cooperation of Qi Xin. Any abnormal closing of doors and windows will suffocate the system.

However, there are also many cases of abnormal sweating that need attention. If you are not hot, do not exercise and sweat, it is called spontaneous sweating, which is a manifestation of qi deficiency. Such people are prone to fatigue, colds and palpitations; Sweating when you fall asleep at night is called night sweats, which is a manifestation of yin deficiency. Such people are prone to tuberculosis and fever. Half-body sweating, half-body sweating, beware of stroke; It's just sweating in front of your heart, which belongs to lack of heart-qi, and it's easy to be flustered, insomnia, dreamy and forgetful; It's just sweating on the head and face, which is a sign of stagnation of the spleen and stomach and excessive internal heat. It is easy to be irritable, bitter in mouth, heavy in body and yellow in urine.
