Nowadays, Chinese medicine is very popular, whether it is treating diseases, preserving health or caring skin, it is branded with Chinese medicine. So what are the methods of TCM health care and skin care? Below I will introduce you to the methods of beauty, health and skin care in traditional Chinese medicine, hoping to be useful to you!
Traditional Chinese medicine health care and skin care methods
1, whitening should really be from the inside out.
People often react, all for whitening, investing a lot of bottles and cans, but still can't compare with the dull sallow color! At this time, it is time to reflect on whether the lifestyle is not healthy enough and turn to the conditioning of the five internal organs and essence. Different from western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes direct desalination of melanin, while traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes regulating qi and expelling toxins. The so-called whitening in traditional Chinese medicine, the transparency and brightness of the skin is more important than carefully choosing the color of foundation, in which the liver, spleen and kidney are the three key points of conditioning.
When the liver is often tense and angry, it will cause so-called liver depression and qi stagnation, resulting in yellow face swelling.
Partial eclipse of the spleen will damage the spleen, the detoxification will not be smooth, and the qi and blood will run slowly, which will not only lead to a dull complexion, but also make it easier to accumulate black spots.
The kidney is often sick and tired, which will hurt the kidney, lead to excessive deficiency of fire, and make the skin love to grow things and become a little face.
To sum up, eating well, sleeping well and being in a good mood are the best prescriptions for nourishing the internal organs!
2, time, meridian whitening method to cultivate good whitening physique.
When it comes to supplementing the body with traditional Chinese medicine, what people are most afraid of is bitterness and the trouble of frying. Here, Chinese medicine will teach you a delicious and convenient "time meridian whitening method". According to the meridian trend in the morning, afternoon and evening, everyone prepares a simple whitening and light food to invigorate qi and detoxify, and people who are not good at cooking can easily get started!
7: 00 am-11:00 am-mung bean soybean milk
In the morning, the meridian goes to the gastrointestinal meridian, which is an important beauty meridian. Starch is rich in protein, which has a good detoxification and whitening effect. After breakfast, cook a cup of mung bean soybean milk to go to work. Recipe in the morning: buy soybean milk for one person, add appropriate amount of roses and mung beans and cook until mung beans are soft.
2: 00 p.m.-5: 00 p.m.-rock sugar, tangerine peel vinegar
In the afternoon, blood pressure will rise, acid substances in the blood will increase, and the skin will be prone to hypoxia and dullness. At this time, the meridians will go to the liver meridian. Vinegar and dried tangerine peel can relax the depression, regulate hormones, and have the effects of lightening spots and dissolving melanin.
Recipe: put a large bottle of industrial vinegar into rock sugar 100g+ 50g of dried tangerine peel, put it in the refrigerator for three weeks, and drink a little directly every day.
7: 00 p.m.-9: 00 p.m.-almond tremella soup
Alleviate lung fire after meals. Almond is a very warm tonic, and it can also stabilize skin cells at night. Tremella can supplement collagen, which is very light as a snack after meals.
Recipe: tremella 20g+ almond powder 40g+ water 500cc, you can eat it without sugar for two minutes.
3. A nutritious breakfast makes you stand out.
This is not a new problem. So I told her as usual that breakfast had better include three kinds of food:
1 starchy foods, such as bread, porridge, noodles, steamed stuffed buns, pancakes, etc. , or potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Rich in high-quality protein food, such as milk, soybean milk, tofu, dried tofu, eggs, cooked meat, etc.
Foods rich in fiber, vitamin C and minerals include all kinds of fruits and vegetables with little oil.
A more innovative suggestion: it is best to add a handful of nuts to breakfast. And give it a lovely name: squirrel breakfast.
Being a squirrel in the morning is not difficult at all. You can peel a handful of nuts when you watch TV on the first day. Of course, it is more convenient to simply buy some shelled nuts. At present, there are many products with shells on the market, such as almonds, walnuts, pine nuts, cashew kernel, peanuts and so on. When eating, just put a spoon in your mouth.
Five-element health preserving method in traditional Chinese medicine
1, five zang-organs relationship
In our body, the kidney belongs to water, the liver belongs to wood, the heart belongs to fire, the spleen belongs to earth and the lung belongs to gold. According to the law that the five elements generate grams, aquatic wood, wood fires, fire generates soil, soil generates gold, and gold generates water. In other words, a good liver-a good heart, a good heart-a good spleen, a good spleen-a good lung, a good lung-a good kidney, a good kidney-a better liver. In the language of traditional Chinese medicine, it is that the liver stores blood to help the heart fire, and the heat of the heart fire warms the spleen soil, and the spleen soil turns into Shui Gu's subtle lung gold, and the lung gold drops to help the kidney water. The essence of kidney water is to nourish the liver wood. In short, the relationship between the five zang-organs is actually a virtuous circle relationship that helps and complements each other.
Once, a friend of mine had a fever all over his body, he couldn't breathe well, and he always coughed. After an examination, there was something wrong with his lungs. Although it was cured later, I started to get up frequently at night. Chinese medicine believes that this is a kidney problem.
According to the theory of five elements in TCM, the relationship between lung and kidney is originally golden water, and lung is the mother of kidney, which means that lung has been providing help to kidney. But now that lung is sick, mother and child can't even take care of themselves, so naturally they can't help kidney, and kidney naturally has a problem.
At this time, if you don't understand the symbiotic relationship between lung and kidney, the effect may not be good if you blindly tonify the kidney. If you want to cure frequent micturition at night, you must first find a way to replenish your lungs.
2. The five internal organs are healthy and beauty is endogenous.
If beauty is our women's lifelong career, then the problem of panel and "face" is undoubtedly the core of "career" Whether we have a touching face, perfect skin and elegant temperament is often related to whether we can treat our lovers, friends and daily work and life confidently.
To this end, many women throw a lot of money into shopping malls every year, buy a lot of expensive skin care products, and even pay for top brands in the world. As a result, the panel is still rotten after use. Why is this? First, they don't understand the truth that lung governs fur in traditional Chinese medicine. Second, they don't know how to solve the problem that the panel is easy to dry and wrinkle from the source, that is, from the maintenance of the spleen and stomach.
Lung belongs to gold, spleen and stomach belong to earth. Among the five elements, native gold means that the spleen and stomach are like the mother of the lungs. Maintaining the spleen and stomach can fundamentally replenish lung gold. In other words, if the mother supplements nutrition, the baby will naturally get nutritious milk.
If the spleen and stomach are well maintained, the spleen and stomach will have a strong ability to generate qi and blood, and you can provide enough qi to the lungs. When your lungs are full, your panel will be moist and rosy.
If you not only know the principle that the lung governs the fur, but also know how to invest in your own panel from the maintenance of the spleen and stomach, then you don't have to worry about which brand of skin care products to use every day, because the five internal organs themselves can give you the best care, depending on whether you understand the law of birth and grams between them.
The coexistence and mutual restriction of the five elements are closely related and inseparable. Mastering the law of the formation and restraint of internal organs will open the door to health for you.
3. The five internal organs are mutually resistant
There is a kind of mutual respect, that is, Mu, Tuke water, water, Huo and Jin Kemu.
The five internal organs are actually the relationship of "separation of five powers". They help and restrict each other, so as to achieve the harmony of the five elements in the body. If mutual assistance is a kind of hello, kindness and mutual assistance, then mutual assistance is first of all a restrictive relationship.
Clearing lung qi can inhibit hyperactivity of liver yang, that is, Jin Kemu; Liver-qi can relieve stagnation of spleen soil, that is, Muketu; The transportation of spleen can avoid the flooding of kidney water, that is, soil water; Moistening kidney water can prevent intense heart fire, that is, water can overcome fire; The yang heat of heart fire can restrict the lung from being too clear, that is, fire can kill gold.
Under normal circumstances, this mutual restriction is a virtuous circle. However, when there are some diseases in the body, this mutually restrictive relationship is often manifested as too many constraints, which makes the bad influence follow this circle and infect each other.
Muketu, corresponding to the five internal organs, means that the liver blocks the spleen. That is to say, if you hurt the liver, it will affect the spleen, so you don't want to eat, and you feel abdominal distension and so on. This is the bad influence of the liver on the spleen. Therefore, when the stomach is uncomfortable, you should actually adjust the liver first.
If you have a bad spleen and stomach, it is not necessarily the spleen itself. It is likely that the liver is not good and it has an effect on the spleen. At this time, take good care of the liver and the spleen and stomach will return to normal.
In life, many people have struggled with heart disease for decades, but they are still not cured. This actually ignores the truth that water can block fire in the five elements of health preservation, that is to say, the kidney can block the heart. Why do many patients with heart disease have bad kidneys, which will affect the heart? Therefore, if patients with heart disease can maintain their kidneys while nourishing their hearts, heart disease can be greatly alleviated.
Also, it should be noted that when there is a fire, people will have chest tightness, shortness of breath, chest pain and other symptoms, because the heart blocks the lungs. When there is fire in the lungs, the fire in the liver is more intense, which is that the lungs can govern the liver.
The contradiction between the five elements is also reflected in our emotions. For example, in order to avoid extreme joy and sadness, people should think about "fear" when they are successful and happy, that is, what they are still afraid of; If you worry too much, find something happy to have fun; Don't get angry when you need to think carefully, or things will be over; When you are angry, you want to worry about something; In times of crisis and fear, to overcome it with "thinking" means to be calm ... and so on.
