Come out of the hot air-conditioned room, are you okay?
Wu Guolin, deputy director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the First Hospital of Zhejiang University, said that there are more and more ways to keep warm, such as using electric blankets, turning on air conditioners, opening walls to hang radiators, etc. It is necessary to remind everyone that in this process, we must pay attention to the prevention of air conditioning diseases.
Blowing directly at the air conditioner, the man contracted the air conditioner disease
What？ I have heard of air conditioning diseases in summer, how can there be air conditioning diseases in winter? Mr. Ji (pseudonym), 36, suffered greatly.
Mr. Ji works in a private company in Hangzhou, usually feels that his health is quite good, but recently he frequently appeared in the eyes tingling, foreign body feeling, throat and nasal dryness, fatigue and other symptoms, using his own eye drops from the pharmacy, the effect of relief is not obvious.
"Do you want to take Chinese medicine to regulate it?" Mr. Ji's mother likes to learn about Chinese medicine on weekdays, so she suggested that he go to the Chinese Medicine Department of the First Hospital of Zhejiang University to see.
"When I consulted, I found that he had obvious dry eyes and dry mouth after waking up in the morning, and the quality of sleep at night was not good, and he was prone to fatigue during the day." After receiving the consultation, Deputy Director Wu Guolin found that Mr. Ji's pulse was thin, his tongue was red, and his tongue was thin, which was a typical manifestation of yin deficiency.
Originally, Mr. Ji in the company's office facing north, basically can not see any sunlight, this time Hangzhou low temperature, strong wind, the office early opened the hot air conditioning, and he this year due to the adjustment of the workstation, the new seat is just facing the air conditioning outlet, a day blowing down, the whole face is red, plus sleep at night with hot air conditioning, the symptoms are more obvious after getting up in the morning. "Your condition is most likely caused by the invasion of dry evil, and you also need to rule out whether there is dry eye or Sjogren syndrome." Deputy Director Wu Guolin suggested.
After examination, although Mr. Ji occasionally felt eye discomfort, he did not have dry eye disease and there was no Sjogren syndrome. The doctor suggested that he could brew wheat winter, goji berries, white chrysanthemums, etc. as tea every day, and try to stay in the air-conditioned room as little as possible, go to outdoor activities, and eat more fruits such as pears, oranges, sugar cane and other yin-nourishing fruits.
Beware of dryness and evil in winter warmth, this acupuncture point is very useful
"Basically every winter, there are many patients who are recruited for 'air conditioning disease'." Deputy Director Wu Guolin introduced that winter itself is characterized by cold and dryness, and the hot and dry air "manufactured" by hot air conditioners is more likely to aggravate this situation, resulting in dry and evil yin, affecting the metabolism of jin liquid, many people will have symptoms such as dry eyes, dry mouth and nose, dry skin and even fatigue and fatigue, and most people will alleviate the symptoms as long as they leave the environment.
Chinese medicine experts emphasize that in this case, it is necessary to distinguish between physical discomfort caused by other conditions such as dry eye syndrome and Sjögren syndrome, and it is recommended to timely exclude rheumatic immune diseases for patients with symptoms such as joint pain.
How to prevent winter air conditioning disease? Deputy Director Wu Guolin also gave his opinion.
For patients with milder symptoms of air conditioning disease, the simplest way is to put a basin of water or open a humidifier in the room to improve the humidity of the environment, in addition, brewing wheat winter, goji berries, chrysanthemums to drink, can play a role in nourishing yin and jinming, but people with cold stomach should be cautious, here it is recommended to use white chrysanthemum (such as Hangzhou white chrysanthemum), because the effect of white chrysanthemum is mainly to nourish the liver and eyes, but also need to be improved by increasing gentle outdoor activities, eating more yin fruits and other living habits.
For patients with severe symptoms of air conditioning disease, after excluding other pathological causes such as Sjögren syndrome, they can find a Chinese medicine practitioner to adjust the dialectical medication according to the patient's personal constitution.
Here, Deputy Director Wu Guolin also wants to teach everyone a very useful "acupuncture point" compression, between our fourth and fifth fingers, there is an acupuncture point called "liquid gate" acupoint near the inside of the ring finger, which has the effect of clearing the head and Li Sanjiao, pressing 2-3 times a day, each lasting 3-5 minutes, which can alleviate the symptoms of dryness and regulate the water metabolism in the human body.
Chinese medicine believes that "autumn and winter nourish the yin", the "Yellow Emperor Neijing" records that the winter living health should be "early to sleep and late to get up, must wait for the sun", so from the perspective of raising yin, Chinese medicine experts suggest that winter weekends or rest days can sleep lazily to fix the yin essence.
In terms of sports, winter sports should not be excessive, try to arrange during the day, to achieve "no leakage of skin", that is to say, can not sweat, especially in the night or early morning when the temperature is low, sweating after the drainage (sweat hole), it is easier to feel the cold evil gas caused by cold, so winter should not be excessive or a lot of exercise.
