There is a way to maintain health in winter. Don't step on these "pitfalls"
2023-12-19
Recently, Beijing has experienced several consecutive days of snowfall, making the weather even colder. Many people are worried that the cooling may make them more susceptible to respiratory diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the principles of "four seasons with seasonal changes, six qi harmonizing" and "weather decreasing, earth qi rising, and heaven and earth transportation". In the early winter of this year, when the average temperature is high, even exceeding 30 ° C, it is considered that there is no transportation for the qi of heaven and earth, and people are susceptible to external evil invasion. However, after experiencing this heavy snow, as long as they keep warm, they are less likely to be caught. So, in the face of the upcoming months of cold winter, how can we prevent diseases? What are the pitfalls in life that need to be avoided? Can carrying a cold enhance physical fitness? Wrong! Some people tend to underestimate colds, thinking that it's a minor illness and can easily pass without taking medication. Some even believe that carrying a minor illness can strengthen their resistance, which is a misconception. Traditional Chinese medicine often uses a phrase to describe a cold - "seeing typhoid fever on horseback", which refers to the rapid change of a cold and the possibility of worsening the condition if one is not careful. Therefore, when facing a cold, it is important to give it sufficient attention and not underestimate it. In outpatient clinics, it is common to encounter patients who say that a cold is always bad, feel fine during the day, and have a low fever at night. It is only after asking that they realize that the patient is "disobedient" and stops taking medication before they have fully recovered. Taking traditional Chinese medicine can help the body eliminate evil energy while enhancing positive energy. It is important to follow the doctor's advice and eat until the body recovers, in order to avoid recurrent disease outbreaks. So which groups of people can carry it on? People with sufficient positive energy, which means they have strong resistance, can recover by relying on their own immune system without undergoing any changes in their condition. Once symptoms such as sore throat, cough, and high fever occur, it indicates that the condition has undergone a "transformation" and become more complex. At this point, it can no longer be carried and timely medical treatment is needed to help the body recover. In situations where the external evil cannot be resolved and heat is absorbed into the body, if the internal heat is already heavy, it belongs to "cold enveloping fire" and is prone to high fever that does not subside or recurrent fever. At this time, using Ma Xing Shi Gan Tang is very suitable and can help the body eliminate external evil and heat evil. Just take the medicine, don't worry about your lifestyle? Wrong! For people with strong immunity, a cold can generally heal on its own within seven days. For people with weaker physical constitution, taking medication according to medical advice can also help them recover in about a week. But it is important to ensure good rest, a light diet, and drinking plenty of hot water to help the body fight against external pathogens. Do not do anything harmful to the body, such as staying up late, overworking, or consuming heavy flavored foods. Many people mistakenly believe that as long as they take medicine, their cold can be cured. However, they still do not pay attention in daily life, staying up late or even staying up all night, eating spicy and stimulating foods, or eating too many sweets, which can lead to worsening or prolonged illness. You should know that a good lifestyle is the foundation and prerequisite. Continuing bad habits will only lead to a vicious cycle, causing damage to the body and not conducive to the recovery of diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that external pathogens can harm the six organs, while long-term unhealthy lifestyles can harm the five organs. When external pathogens are combined with internal injuries, the disease is not easily cured. For example, a persistent cough, according to traditional Chinese medicine, "all five organs and six viscera cause coughing." If the cough persists, it may be due to lung heat, spleen deficiency, or insufficient body fluid in the kidneys. Famous Qing Dynasty physician Xu Dachun said, "If you catch a cold, you won't wake up."
