During this time, most people are healthy, if the cold and warmth are not done well, people are easy to feel the cold and become ill.
How do I know if I still have cold? People who have been impotent can stick out their tongue in the mirror to take a look - if the tongue is covered with moss and white, this is the manifestation of the evil of cold and wet staying in the body after the virus attacks.
Cold is the main order of winter, and it is easy to get cold disease. Cold qi has two main properties, easy to hurt yang and easy to condense.
1. Cold is easy to hurt yang, and yin is yang
What is the easiest thing to think of in a cold winter? Yin qi.
Cold is a manifestation of yin, and its sex is yin. Yang Qi can control Yin, but if the Yang Qi of the human body is insufficient, it is easy to be injured by Yin and cold.
If the cold qi is too strong, the yang qi in the body is not enough to drive away the cold evil, but it is won by the evil of yin and cold, "yin is yang disease".
2. Cold coagulation, easy to get pain
Coagulation means condensation block. The movement of qi, blood, and fluid in the human body all depends on the gentle promotion of yang qi, so that qi and blood can flow unimpeded.
Cold evil invades the human body, causing the qi and blood meridians to lose the warmth of yang, which is easy to make qi and blood coagulation blocked, blocked, and painful, so pain is an important feature of cold evil invasion and disease. Many people have back pain and body pain, which is precisely why.
Therefore, when it is cold, qi and blood coagulate and blood does not pass. If the cold muscle surface and meridians are coagulated, the head, body and limbs are severely painful. Ordinary patients with limb arthropathy suffer from cold and evil, which is called "paralysis". Therefore, northerners are mostly concerned about festival diseases, and they hurt badly in winter, and they like to spend the winter in warm places.
In addition to preventing external cold, pay attention to internal cold
There are many people who feel that even if the weather is cold, now that the heat is sufficient, the cold is in place, why do I still feel very cold?
1. What is inner cold?
There is a kind of cold called "inner cold", from which cold is born, the body's yang qi is weakened, its function of warmth and qi is reduced, and the deficiency cold is endogenous.
"Cold from it" refers to: the body's temperature vaporization function decreases, resulting in a cold body, this kind of person is the most sad in winter, insufficient internal yang, degraded warm function, in the outside cold invasion, Weiyang can not resist, internal and external blows, cold on the cold.
There are two main manifestations of internal cold:
First, Wen Xu is derelict in his duties, cold and ingenite, showing a pale face and cold limbs; Or because of cold coagulation, the tendons and veins contract, the blood flow is not smooth, resulting in tendon and vein spasm, limb joint pain.
Second, the yang is insufficient, the gasification function is reduced, and the water cannot be warmed by the yang, resulting in the accumulation or stagnation of cold pathological products. People with yang deficiency and internal cold are susceptible to moisture and phlegm infection, cold urine, sputum and other excretions, or diarrhea and loose stools.
2. The outer cold and the inner cold will transform each other
▶ Internal cold: It is because the yang qi is damaged, and the yang does not overcome the yin that causes "cold", so everything that damages the yang qi may lead to the occurrence of internal cold.
These include external cold, improper protection against cold in winter, or excessive blowing of air conditioning in summer, which damages the yang; or cold from the mouth, wantonly eating cold raw and cold food, damaging the spleen and yang; Or irregular work and rest, like to stay up late, Yang Qi can not be rested, resulting in excessive consumption of Yang Qi. Therefore, the characteristics of internal cold are weakness, mainly deficiency.
▶ External cold: It is what we generally call "cold", because it is attacked by cold and evil, and can be combined with wind and dampness, etc. as a disease, mainly "cold" and reality.
However, the two are interrelated, and foreign cold and evil invade the human body, and if it accumulates for a long time, it can damage the yang energy of the human body and cause internal cold; If you are a person with a yang deficiency and internal cold physique, it is easy to feel the external cold, and the two can be transformed into each other.

3. External cold is easy to hurt the lungs, and internal cold is easy to hurt the kidneys
External cold is easy to hurt the lungs, the lungs are canopy, with the function of publicizing the health qi to follow the body surface, is the protective umbrella of the human body, so if the lung qi is abundant, it is difficult for external evil to invade, even after being cold, it can quickly dissolve the cold. So the cold evil invasion, fever cough, nasal congestion and runny nose, not only tells you that the cold evil is coming, but also means that the lung guard is also injured at this time.
Internal cold is easy to hurt the kidneys, internal cold is mostly related to the heart, spleen, kidney, and is closely related to the spleen and kidney. The spleen is the foundation of the day after tomorrow, the source of qi and blood biochemistry, and the spleen and yang can reach the muscles and limbs; Kidney yang is the limit of human yang, which can warm the internal organs and tissues of the whole body. Therefore, if the spleen and kidney yang qi is weak, it is gentle and derelict in its duties, and it is most likely to show the image of deficiency and cold, especially the kidney yang deficiency is the key.
