10:38:56
Ushered in the ugly year
The last solar term
The cold reaches its peak and the days warm up later
Every year around January 20 of the Gregorian calendar is the "Great Cold", which is the last of the twenty-four solar terms and the last of winter.
Like "little cold", "big cold" is still a solar term that indicates the degree of cold weather. At this time, there are often strong winds cooling or snowfall, shuo winds roaring alone, wax trees and silver mountains, "cold against the pole", so it is called "great cold".
Severe cold is the characteristic of the "great cold" season, but "things will be reversed", and after the "great cold" is "lichun". The great cold is the last carnival before entering the spring, leaving a poetic ending to welcome the arrival of spring.
Endure the last loneliness of this winter
Prosperity is just around the corner
Great Cold Customs
With the advent of the great cold season, extremely cold weather is most prone to two diseases: the first is heart disease. Cold is a high incidence of cardiovascular diseases such as angina, coupled with mood swings, which is equivalent to "worse". Therefore, heart disease will show a high incidence trend during the cold season. The second is stroke. At a certain age, due to its own aging, the blood vessels appear hardened, the elasticity deteriorated, and cold, exertion, etc. may lead to stroke.
How to maintain the health of the Great Cold Festival?
Xiaobian sorted it out
Big cold health "three threes"
Let's take a look
Eat three things
Guiyuan (warm heart): Cold weather is particularly easy to hurt yang, so during the cold period, you should nourish the yang, through the solar saving yang warm heart, promote blood circulation. Guiyuan is a good product for warming the heart and replenishing the blood, the weather is cold during the small cold to the big cold, it is recommended to often stew some guiyuan porridge at home.
Red jujube (liver protection): The great cold is the "end of winter and March", which is inherited from the spring. In this season of succession and enlightenment, the yin qi of nature is extremely strong, and the yang qi settles to the pole and prepares to grow hair. Therefore, at this stage, it is necessary to take into account the nourishment of the liver, so as to lay a good foundation for the development of spring and yang qi and the regulation of liver qi. There are many foods for liver protection, but it is recommended that red dates, although ordinary, are rich in nutrients.
Eat some acid (blood vessel protection): In the cold season, the incidence of myocardial infarction and stroke has reached a high level throughout the year. In addition, some hypertensive patients with poor vascular elasticity tend to increase their blood pressure fluctuations within a day during the cold season, and many patients with old and slow branches are prone to recurrence of old diseases at this time as long as they are slightly inattentive. This prompts us to pay more attention to the maintenance of blood vessels in our daily habits. It is beneficial to eat acidic foods such as oranges and apples appropriately.
Three cold protection
Prevent lung cold (drink hot porridge to disperse cold): runny nose, cough, headache... Colds and wind chills are the most common problems in winter. Experts pointed out that for milder symptoms, you can use some ingredients for xinwen to solve the table and disperse the cold of the lungs, and the "immortal porridge" in the Qing Dynasty's "Huizhitang Experience Fang" is good. There is a song cloud: "A handful of glutinous rice is boiled into a soup, seven green onions and seven slices of ginger, boiled and mixed with half a cup of vinegar, cold and flu security kang." After warm serving, I put on the bed cover, slightly hot and sweaty. Take once a day in the morning and once in the evening for 2 days.
Waist cold prevention (rubbing the waist with both hands to warm the kidney yang): According to Chinese medicine, rubbing the waist with both hands helps to unclog the belt veins, strengthen the waist ridge and strengthen the lean kidneys. The waist is where the "belt veins" (the meridians that surround the waist) are located, especially the posterior waist on both sides of the spine is where the kidneys are located. The kidneys like warmth and cold, and often massage can warm the kidneys and yang, and smooth the qi and blood.
Foot cold prevention (do a warm foot bath): Foot bath is not the same as hot water foot washing. According to experts, foot baths should pay attention to water temperature, time and massage methods. The water temperature is preferably about 40 ° C, the water floods the ankle joint; each soak for 20-30 minutes, from time to time add hot water to maintain the water temperature, the skin is slightly red after soaking; in addition, after soaking the foot, dry and massage the toes and palms of the feet with your hands for 2-3 minutes. Finally, it should be noted that after the above three points are done, it is best to go to bed within half an hour to ensure the effect of the foot bath.
Press the three holes
Baihui Acupoint (Lowering Blood Pressure): Baihui is the key point of the Pulse, which is the place where the Yangs gather, and communicates with the meridians of each organ, so it is used to adjust the overall treatment of Yin and Yang. For nervous system diseases such as neurological headaches, insomnia, etc., circulatory diseases such as coronary heart disease, hypertension, etc., respiratory diseases such as chronic rhinitis, pharyngitis, etc. have a preventive effect. There are many ways to operate the daily health care Baihui points, the simplest is to use the fingers, rub and press with the fingers, use the thumb and middle finger to put on the Baihui points, and press back and forth.
Period Gate Acupuncture (Relief of Depression): The focus of the Great Cold Health Is to regulate the liver and gallbladder meridians, so that it can not only raise the Yang Qi to prevent wind and cold, but also evacuate the depressed and depressed emotions in the heart. Period gate acupuncture point is the liver meridian of the acupuncture point, is the visceral qi gathered in the chest and abdomen of the specific acupuncture points, the ancient Chinese medicine book "Typhoid Fever" believes that this acupuncture point is the preferred acupuncture point for draining the liver and gallbladder, which has a good effect on conditioning the liver. You can try to use the finger abdomen of the thumb to press on the acupuncture points of the period gate, rotate and rub the acupuncture points for 3-5 minutes, and there will be a sore feeling in the acupuncture points when pressing, first left and then right or both sides at the same time.
TaiXi Cave (Moisturizing and Hydrating): Taixi is located on the inside of the foot, in a depression between the back of the inner ankle and the tendon of the heel. Massage twice a day for 10 minutes. When the cold weather is dry, the kneading time should be longer, because the dry is easy to hurt the yin, and rubbing more time can not only supplement the yin, but also prevent dry and hurt the yin.
