Today is the autumn equinox special, the coming of the autumn equinox represents that this autumn has passed halfway, so in the remaining half of the autumn, where should the focus of health and disease prevention be? Speaking of the evil qi that prevails in autumn and will harm our body, I believe everyone will think of an answer - dryness, and when it comes to the manifestation of dryness and harm to the body, everyone also thinks that it is dryness. However, at the beginning, an aunt told the host that when the dry evil hurt her health, it showed severe edema, which can be said to be a far cry from our previous understanding of the dry evil. We all think that dryness invades the human body, which should cause a "drought" in the human body, but we don't expect that dryness will harm the human body and cause "waterlogging" in the human body? What's going on here? Tune in!
Today's guest of "Yangshengtang", Professor Zhao Jinxi, chief expert from Dongzhimen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, told us that when dryness hurts an important organ of our human body, the symptoms of edema will appear. This viscera is the viscera corresponding to the winter storage, the main seal, which hides the essence that is extremely important to the human body, just like the "safe" of our human body, and the "safe" of this human body is the kidney! Director Zhao told us that the most vulnerable viscera is the lungs, but traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes a holistic view and attaches importance to the close connection between the internal organs of the human body. In addition, the reason why the dry evil can quickly damage the kidneys in autumn is because it also has a very powerful "accomplice". This "accomplice" is also a kind of evil qi, which exists all year round, and it is especially easy to be mixed with other evil qi to invade the human body, what is it? Tune in!
Director Zhao told us that this "accomplice" is actually the wind evil. The combination of dryness and wind is also divided into cold and heat, and through two different paths, it will eventually hurt the lungs and kidneys. In view of the situation of dryness + wind cold (cool dryness) hurting the kidneys, as well as dryness + wind heat (warm dryness) hurting the kidneys, Zhao Zhu introduced to you two medicinal strings that he commonly uses in clinical treatment. In addition, he also introduced two tea substitutes suitable for daily life, what are they? In the remaining 45 days of autumn, which autumn vegetables and fruits are more suitable for kidney protection? Tune in!
