1. Why do women suffer from palace cold?
1, constitution
Some women are naturally afraid of cold: their limbs are easy to catch cold, they are particularly sensitive to the cooling climate, their faces are paler than the average person, they like to drink hot drinks and seldom get thirsty. They are cold in winter and heat-resistant in summer. Cold constitution is mostly caused by acquired factors. Living in a cold environment, loving cold food, overwork or irritability are common problems that make the body cold. In addition, there are some genetic factors, maybe your parents are cold, or when you were born, they were old and their body yang gradually declined, which will directly lead to the cold constitution code written in your genes. Even under the same conditions as others, you are more likely to have symptoms of palace cold, so besides being careful to keep out the cold, you should also keep warm for a long time.
2, cold food to eat cold.
In the tradition of TCM health preservation, women's constitution belongs to yin, and they can't be greedy for cold. Even in hot summer, cold drinks, iced tea, fruits and other cold things should not be greedy, let alone people who hold ice cream all the year round. After eating too much cold food, these foods will consume yang when they enter the body, leading to endogenous cold pathogens and invading the uterus. Therefore, the guidance of Chinese medicine on eating cold is mainly applicable to women.
3. Lifestyle
Body cold is the root of all diseases. As the saying goes, "ten diseases and nine cold" and "diseases come from cold", women wearing thin clothes in winter violates the principle of health preservation. The female reproductive system is most afraid of cold, consuming yang in winter, and cold in the lower body will directly lead to female palace cold.
Doctors remind female friends that summer is also the season with the highest frequency of palace cold. Summer is very hot, and many women like to stay indoors, wearing cool clothes and blowing air conditioners. Unconsciously, the uterus is "tortured" by the cold, which leads to the appearance of palace cold, which greatly reduces the function of the uterus and is prone to cold hands and feet, weakness, loss of appetite and even irregular menstruation.
Step 4 Abortion
The combination of sperm and eggs and the growth of the fetus need to consume a lot of energy and material for women, so some pregnant women will be very uncomfortable and have spots all over their faces. Abortion is equivalent to suddenly throwing away all those energy substances, which needs to consume a lot of yang in human body. If the cultivation is not in place, the yang will be exhausted for a long time, and the uterus will lose temperature, and palace cold will follow.
5, kidney deficiency
Kidney deficiency is an important cause of palace cold in traditional Chinese medicine, which is caused by kidney deficiency. In A Dream of Red Mansions, after giving birth to a child, Xifeng was strong on her own, but she still planned to be a director. Her body was weak, and her lower body continued to bleed, until she let go of rest and nursed back to health for eight or nine months. This is a typical case of kidney deficiency caused by excessive kidney pressure due to pregnancy, and uterine cold caused by unknown intrauterine endotoxin, which brings great harm to physical fitness, and there are better and faster ways to deal with this kind of uterine cold.
6, excessive fatigue
Excessive fatigue or emotional ups and downs will damage the human body's yang, which is the motive force of human body's material metabolism and physiological function, and has the function of warming the whole body tissue and maintaining the function of viscera. The weakness of yang will lead to the weakening and decline of physiological activities, and the function of uterus and related organs will also decline.
7. Lose weight quickly
Whether dieting, exercising or taking medicine, the way to lose weight is to consume more than intake, but it must be a long process. If you achieve the goal of slimming in a short time, you can only pay for your health. Losing weight quickly is nothing more than using harsh drugs and abnormal means to excrete excess water and fat from the body. In the view of Chinese medicine, this means that the body has lost a lot of energy substances in a short time, and cold pathogens are likely to take advantage of it and invade the uterus.
