Nowadays, the emergence of water heaters has greatly facilitated people's lives, and if they want to bathe, they can do it at any time, but did you know what? There is a lot of attention to bathing, especially when it comes to timing.

There is a saying in the folk: "Take a bath in the morning to extinguish the yang, and take a bath at night to produce moisture", the wrong bath will consume yang and aggravate moisture, so which time period is it good to bathe? Let's find out.

What is "Yang Qi"?

From the perspective of Chinese medicine, yang qi is true qi and vitality, which is generally stored in the kidneys of the human body.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that yang qi is the material basis that constitutes the human body and maintains human life activities, and qi can be divided into yin qi and yang qi, yang qi is the part of the body qi with warming and exciting characteristics, and is the very fine substance and energy in the human body.

Sufficient yang is also important for the human body, in the case of sufficient yang, it is conducive to the body to become stronger, and can also make the body in a healthy state. However, some people may cause yang deficiency or yang deficiency due to poor living habits and eating habits.

What is "moisture"?

Wind, cold, heat, humidity, dryness, and fire are called six qi under normal circumstances, representing natural climate change, and as a causative factor, it is called six qi. Wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, and dampness in fire are one of the six immoralities and one of the causative factors.

Moisture is a symptom of the dysfunction of the spleen to transport water and moisture, resulting in strong yin qi in the body.

Moisture is often caused by poor living and eating habits, and is often clinically manifested as heavy head, lazy limbs, chest depression, loss of appetite, loose stool, thick tongue, constipation, athlete's foot, eczema and other symptoms, and the treatment is mainly to strengthen the spleen and dampness.
