What should I pay attention to when "sunning my back"?
Yan Yixin, deputy director of the Department of Preventive Disease Treatment of Chongming Branch of Yueyang Hospital, told reporters that "sunning the back" is one of the methods of traditional Chinese medicine for health preservation and daily health care. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that there are many meridians and acupuncture points on the back of the human body, and stimulating the Du pulse through the "sun on the back" can play a role in invigorating yang qi, dissipating cold and removing dampness.
According to reports, "sunning" belongs to the "warm supplement" therapy, which is suitable for people with "cold" and "deficiency" physique, and adheres to the standard "sunning", which can effectively relieve fatigue, cold hands and feet, cold pain in waist and knees and other symptoms.
Experts remind that from 15:30 to 17:00, it is most appropriate to "sun your back", and you should wear light and loose clothes when "drying your back", and at the same time, you should also do a good job of facial sunscreen, replenish water and electrolytes in time, and control the time at about 20 minutes, with "slight sweating" as the standard. If there is any discomfort during the process, you should stop immediately and rest in a cool place, and if necessary, you should seek medical attention in time. After the "back tanning" is over, the pores are in an open state, so you can't be in a windy environment, you can't enter the air-conditioned room immediately, and you can't take a shower right away to avoid catching a cold due to the wind.
Doctor reminds: It is not recommended to "sun your back" for people with hot and weak physique, elderly people, children, people with a variety of underlying diseases and skin diseases.
