The "Almanac" clearly records: "The fifteenth day after the spring equinox happens to be the Ding position, which happens to be the Qingming solar term." During this period, everything appears clean and tidy, clear and refreshing, because at this time the atmosphere is fresh and the scenery is bright, and everything shows its own beauty. "Qingming is the time when the mid-spring and late spring alternate at the end of spring, and all things show vigorous vitality after being nourished by the whole spring.
This exuberant trend can also be understood as "powerful". And literally means "flame". If there are too many flames, the human body will feel anxious and even lose its mind. The disease is not effectively prevented and treated in the spring, and it is unbearable in the scorching summer heat.
Especially for women, spring is called "changeable spring", although it is beautiful. The reason is that the weather is unpredictable before and after the Qingming Festival, the rain increases, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the humid environment is conducive to the reproduction and reproduction of various microorganisms, so this period is also the peak period of gynecological inflammation.
Therefore, if you want to clear gynecological inflammation in the Qingming season, the key is to remove the "three fires" in the body.
1 Liver Fire
According to the laws of nature, with the deepening of spring, the internal liver qi of the human body gradually rises. It peaks at the time of Qingming. If you are emotional, it is likely to cause the liver qi to rise excessively, which will cause the heart to be overheated. In addition, the surging of liver qi may also adversely affect the spleen, stomach and intestines. At this time, it is even more necessary to expel the liver fire.
01Eat appropriate spring vegetables
There are many delicious vegetables in spring, such as camellia and marantou, which have been widely respected since ancient times.
According to ancient documents such as the Compendium of Materia Medica and the Catalogue of Famous Doctors, spring vegetables such as shepherd's cabbage and marantou are delicious and mild in nature, and have multiple health effects such as clearing the liver, lowering blood pressure, and promoting digestion.
In addition, shepherd's cabbage and marantou are rich in nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber. Eating more of these two spring dishes not only helps to satisfy our appetites, but also replenishes the various nutrients that our body needs.
02Avoid eating hairy foods
Qingming Festival, also known as the Cold Food Festival, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine theory, patients with cardiovascular diseases should not eat hair products.
Hair refers to foods that can cause symptoms such as wind, phlegm, and poison, and help germs invade and spread. For example, marine fish, seafood, pickled vegetables, bamboo shoots, hairy bamboo shoots, mutton, rooster, etc. Excessive intake of hair in patients with gynecologic inflammation will lead to exacerbation of the condition.
03Take rose chrysanthemum tangerine peel tea
Ingredients: roses, chrysanthemums, tangerine peel, wolfberry. Use a health pot, add 1000ml of water, adjust to flower tea mode and enjoy.
The excellent taste and aroma of this unique tea drink not only help to relieve people's psychological tension and depression, but also clear the wind and heat, clear the liver and eyes, strengthen the spleen and regulate qi, especially suitable for those who are prone to fire due to excessive work pressure.
2 Breathing Fire
The arrival of the Qingming Festival marks the end of spring, and people begin to look forward to the arrival of the hot summer. The increase in heat and humidity makes it urgent to wear light and comfortable clothing to dissipate heat and heat.
01
Continue to maintain the habit of "covering".
There is a folk proverb: "Dress indiscriminately in February", and the "spring covering" mentioned in it is actually the same concept. After Ching Ming Festival, you can't change your spring clothes until mid-April. With the help of external yang warmth, it can help the yang energy in the body rise, expel the cold energy in the body, and the body will naturally restore the balance of body temperature.
02
Stick to foot soaks
Within 15 days after the Qingming Festival, it is recommended to use warm bile soup for foot bathing. The preparation method is as follows: put the Chinese medicinal materials such as banxia, bamboo ru, citrus aurantium, tangerine peel, licorice, poria cocos, and gardenia into the pot, first boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and boil for about 10-15 minutes, and then add it to the special bucket for foot bath. The water temperature of the foot soaking water should be controlled at about 40 degrees Celsius.
This specially formulated foot bath formula has a "smooth" effect, especially suitable for female patients with hot upper body and cold lower body, helping to relieve body fire, as we often hear: "Qi and blood flow smoothly, all diseases are eliminated".
3. Exorcise the fire in your heart
As a major festival for our nation to respect life and be grateful to our ancestors, the Qingming Festival contains the sadness of parting thoughts and sorrows, which often makes people's hearts feel depressed and difficult to extinguish. At this moment, it is obviously important to take appropriate measures to clear the fire in the heart and relieve emotional stress.
01. Wailing
From a medical point of view, crying is an effective way to clear the repressed emotions in the heart, which helps to deplete excess energy and adjust the balance of physiological functions. Therefore, you may wish to find a quiet and no-man's land, and let your tears pour out your long-stored anguish.
02. Dietary adjustment
If insomnia is caused by excessive heart fire, and the condition of yellowish urine appears, you can enjoy a bowl of mung bean soup with a unique flavor in time, so as to exert its diuretic and heat removal effect. Or cook lotus seed soup and add some rock sugar to taste, which also has the effect of dissolving phlegm and diarrhea lungs, and is used to improve insomnia symptoms.
03. Massage the acupoints between the rows
This is an acupuncture point that blindly has the function of clearing the heart and fire. When inflammation of the heart causes tooth pain and mouth ulcers, insist on kneading and massaging the acupuncture points for 10 to 15 minutes every day, which can effectively channel the surging heart fire in the body and achieve the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. Especially for menstrual disorders, abdominal pain, abnormal vaginal discharge and other problems caused by damp heat betting, more massage should be added.
04. Improve living habits
Try your best to ensure that you can fall asleep before 11 o'clock every night, and develop a good habit of not staying up late and having a regular routine. In addition, in order to protect your physical and mental health, you should also set aside sufficient time to participate in outdoor activities and get in touch with nature every day, such as walking in the woods, running for exercise, practicing yoga and other forms of exercise.
As the saying goes: it is better to prepare for a rainy day than to dig a well when you are thirsty. We wish you all the best of luck in this challenging spring!
