First of all, staying up late will lead to an imbalance of yin and yang in the body, affecting the flow of qi and blood in the human body. Traditional Chinese medicine theories hold that Yang Qi is abundant during the day, while Yin Qi prevails at night. If you stay up too late, the body's yang energy will be excessively consumed, resulting in yang deficiency, resulting in fatigue, fatigue, insomnia and other symptoms. Therefore, after staying up late, you should try to adjust your work and rest time and ensure adequate sleep to restore the balance of yin and yang in your body. If you really can't avoid staying up late, you can use some traditional Chinese medicine health preservation methods to nourish the body, such as commonly used yang cultivation methods such as ginseng, angelica and other traditional Chinese medicines, which can be purchased in Chinese medicine stores and eaten in decoction.
Secondly, staying up late will lead to a strong liver fire. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver mainly stores blood, and night is the time when the liver is the main operation, if you stay up late for a long time, the burden on the liver will increase, and it is easy to have a strong liver fire. Liver fire will manifest as symptoms such as emotional instability, irritability, bitter mouth, and red eyes. Therefore, after staying up late, you need to pay attention to regulating liver qi, and you can clean up the liver fire through traditional Chinese medicine treatment, such as the commonly used gentian herb, Yinchen Artemisia, etc., which can be taken as medicinal diet or tea.
In addition, staying up late can also cause damage to the body's immune system. Lack of sleep can reduce immune function and make people more susceptible to colds and infections. Therefore, after staying up late, it is necessary to pay attention to supplements that strengthen your own immunity. Traditional Chinese medicine suggests that immunity can be improved through dietary therapy. Commonly used dietary supplements include eating health soups and soups, such as chicken soup with astragalus and pigeon egg pot. These soups have the effect of nourishing qi and blood, improving immunity, and can help the body better resist diseases.
In addition, staying up late can lead to an increase in moisture in the body. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that dampness is a pathogenic factor, and long-term dampness troubles can easily lead to skin problems such as eczema and acne. Therefore, after staying up late, you should reasonably regulate your moisture and keep your body dry. You can choose some traditional Chinese medicine to dispel dampness, such as atractylodes, poria cocos, etc., which can be used to boil water for drinking or porridge to eat.
To sum up, the impact of staying up late on physical health cannot be ignored, but we can still maintain the health of our body through the method of TCM health preservation. After staying up late, we should adjust our work and rest time reasonably, get enough rest, and avoid excessive fatigue. At the same time, traditional Chinese medicine can be used to replenish yang qi, clean up liver fire, strengthen immunity and dispel dampness, so as to improve the body's resistance and self-healing ability. I hope that everyone can pay attention to physical health, arrange work and rest time reasonably, and use the wisdom of Chinese medicine to help us maintain our health.
