The principle of four seasons of traditional Chinese medicine: nourishing yang in spring and summer, and nourishing yin in autumn and winter.
Therefore, many people eat a lot of things that nourish and nourish yin in autumn and winter, but their health is getting worse and worse!
Director Zhao Jiping, a national-level veteran Chinese medicine doctor, said that health preservation should also be adapted to individual conditions, and people with yang deficiency constitution are not suitable for cultivating yin in autumn and winter.
The typical manifestation of people with yang deficiency is that they are afraid of cold, and they always feel cold in their bodies, and if they raise yin again, it will aggravate the deficiency of yang qi in the body, and such people should restrain their yang energy.
1. Yang deficiency in the spleen and kidney
Failure to converge good yang qi will lead to yang deficiency in the spleen and kidney.
Spleen and yang deficiency will cause symptoms such as cold intolerance, drooling, diarrhea, stomach distention, and cold stomach pain.
Kidney Yang deficiency can cause symptoms such as frequent urination, diarrhea, sensitivity to cold from head to toe, and cold hands and feet.
People with spleen and kidney yang deficiency can usually press the big horizontal acupoint on the abdomen, the Shenque acupoint (navel), the Guan Yuan acupoint three inches below the umbilicus, the middle navel acupoint four inches above the umbilicus, and the Zusanli and Yinling Spring on the legs.
Stimulating these acupuncture points has the effect of warming yang and replenishing deficiency, which helps to converge yang qi.
Director Zhao also brought a tea substitute.
Lingshu ginger tea
Composition: fried atractylodes, poria cocos, dried ginger.
Tea substitutes are for conditioning purposes only and are not intended to replace medicines.
2. Lung qi deficiency
Such people often have symptoms such as cough, white phlegm, chest tightness, and fatigue.
Experts bring a method to converge yang qi for people with lung qi deficiency - a different foot soaking method!
Foot soaking recipe: mugwort leaves, cinnamon, ginger, Sichuan pepper.
Soak the herbs in warm water for a while, then decoction.
Foot soaking method: After boiling the medicinal juice, pour it into the bucket, first hang the feet on the water surface, steam the feet with hot air for 10 minutes, and then put the feet into the bucket to soak for about 10 minutes.
