I have always heard others say that traditional Chinese medicine is very useful for winter disease and summer treatment, so what is winter disease? What does Xia Zhi mean?
Winter disease refers to diseases that occur or worsen during the winter season. People prone to this disease are cold physique, which is called yang deficiency in Chinese medicine. Usually the symptoms are cold hands and feet, fear of cold and warmth, fear of wind and cold, tiredness and drowsiness.
Winter disease and summer treatment is based on the ancient Chinese medicine theory of "spring and summer yang, autumn and winter yin", using the summer when the human body's yang is at its most vigorous, and the disease is relatively relieved, using appropriate treatment methods, in order to prevent and reduce the onset of disease and radical cure for the purpose of an off-season natural therapy.
In layman's terms, summer is the most vigorous and active time for our human body, and we use this time to regulate it to achieve the role of driving away evil spirits or regulating the physique.
So what diseases can be treated in winter and summer? Let's take it for example!
Respiratory diseases:
Cough, asthma, bronchitis, pharyngitis, rhinitis, etc.
Digestive disorders:
Gastritis, enteritis, hypothermia constipation, etc.
Osteoarticular diseases:
Cervical spondylosis, frozen shoulder, lumbar disc herniation, sciatica, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, etc.
Gynecological diseases:
Postpartum wind, dysmenorrhea, menopausal syndrome.
Pediatric diseases:
Pediatric dyspepsia, diarrhea, repeated colds, etc.
Yang deficiency, sub-healthy people:
The stomach is cold and cold, the waist and knees are sore, and the hands and feet are cold.
Have you found that these people have the characteristics of fear of cold and heavy cold, so the first thing to treat winter and summer is to target people who are afraid of cold and cold constitution, especially respiratory diseases, most people have pathological factors such as "cold, deficiency, phlegm".
Can't people who are not afraid of cold be "cured in winter and summer"?
No, generally we talk about winter disease and summer treatment, will think of the dressing, the drug is generally warm more, if you are yin deficiency constitution, suitable for do need to consult a doctor.
However, the scope of winter disease and summer treatment is not limited to dressing, such as Chinese medicine soaking, we are easy to be greedy for cold in summer, eat raw and cold food, blow air conditioning, use Chinese herbs to dispel cold and dampness, and soak the feet at an appropriate water temperature, which is very suitable for phlegm and wet physique or people who are greedy for cold in summer. For example, traditional Chinese medicine conditioning in summer, or tea substitutes, can take advantage of the characteristics of sweating and fast metabolism in summer to regulate the body according to different physiques.
