The term “health care”, firstly from “Guanzi”, means to maintain life in order to achieve longevity, and Chinese medicine advocates “the upper work of treating the undiseased”, which means that a good doctor is more concerned with preventing disease than treating it. Many people think that the word “cure” refers to the state of health and the absence of disease, and the word “treatment” is interpreted literally in modern times to mean treatment. In fact, the treatment here includes prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and other modern medical concepts, not the same as the absence of disease, but with “disease” risk factors, so to prevent before it happens. The way of health care of the Tao method of nature Chinese medicine health care pay attention to the realm of the Tao method of nature, the pursuit of the natural way of health care, the “Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine” in the beginning of the “Ancient Heavenly Truth” tells us this truth, modern medicine is so developed, has been studied to the microstructure of the human body molecules, but now these studies have encountered more or less Bottleneck, the human body is subdivided to a certain extent, it is necessary to have a theory and then put them together, this theory has not reached a consensus in Western medicine, but Chinese medicine can give an explanation, the theory is that the heavenly and human corresponding. For example, the natural world has four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the yin and yang of the human body will be affected by the corresponding changes in birth, growth, transformation, harvest and storage, and the five organs of the human body also have corresponding seasons: the liver should be in spring, the heart should be in summer, the lungs should be in autumn, the kidneys should be in winter, and the spleen should be in long summer. In a month, the moon’s cloudiness has a certain influence on the operation of human qi and blood, and the changes of the sun in the morning, in the middle of the day and in the evening correspond to the strength and weakness of the yang energy in the human body. Therefore, the first thing to do is to follow the rhythm of the sun and the moon, the law of the four seasons, and the growth process of all things in nature. The so-called “winter collection” means that in winter, people should nourish their essence, rest and recuperate, so as to cope with the spring, summer and autumn harvest in the coming year. Winter begins at the beginning of the winter, including the snow, the snow, the winter solstice, the small cold, the big cold, a total of six festivals, “Suwen? The four seasons to adjust the gods of the great theory of “March, this is closed, water ice chap, no disturbance to the Yang, sleep early and get up late, must be waiting for daylight, so that the will if the ambush if hidden, if there is a private intention, if you have got, go to the cold on the temperature, no drainage of the skin, so that the gas is taken, this winter gas should be, the way to maintain health. Against it will hurt the kidneys, spring for the impotence and convulsions, the less the people who live.” The meaning of this passage is that the three months of winter is the season when everything lives and hides. In this season, the water freezes and the earth freezes, so one should not disturb the yang energy, go to bed early and get up late, and wait until daylight appears before getting up; make the emotions like an army in ambush, like a fish and bird in deep hiding, like a person with privacy, like a heart with gain, etc.; also stay away from the cold places and stay close to the warm places, and do not let the skin and couples open to sweat and lose a lot of yang energy. This is the law of conforming to the winter energy and maintaining the body’s closed function. If you go against this rule, you will hurt the kidney energy, and in the spring it will lead to impotence and coldness in the limbs. Just like a seed that is not buried deep in the soil in winter, even if it sprouts in spring, it will not grow into a big tree after all, if a person does not pay attention to the winter storage of Yang Qi, in spring there will be symptoms such as weakness of the limbs and fear of cold. The winter diet is divided into “food” and “medicine”. Winter is the season when yang is weakest and yin is strongest in nature, so the winter diet needs to take care of yang, and it is appropriate to choose some warm food.

The “Quanzhou Materia Medica” contains: “(Longan) strengthens the yang and benefits the qi, nourishes the spleen and stomach”. In addition to “food”, choose some warming herbs to make a medicinal meal or tea for winter health is also a good choice. There are many warm herbs, such as astragalus, ginseng, clove, eucommia, wolfberry, cordyceps, cistanches and other herbs are suitable as winter dietary supplements. Astragalus contains protein, amino acids, polysaccharides, choline, folic acid and a variety of trace elements, sweet in taste and slightly warm in nature.

It is also used to strengthen the Yin, and benefit the vital energy of women. Although winter is the season when the yang energy of nature is closed, winter health care should be different from person to person. If the body originally belongs to the hot body, it is necessary to choose some heat-clearing and yin-nourishing products while consuming foods and herbs to nourish the yang energy, so as not to turn the heat into fire and lead to a series of fire symptoms, which is also in line with the view of Chinese medicine that “those who are good at nourishing the yang should seek the yang from the yin. It is also in line with the view of Chinese medicine that “those who are good at nourishing Yang should seek Yang from Yin. Winter is the lowest temperature season of the year, and everything is hidden, so the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine points out that in winter, people should “sleep early and get up late to wait for daylight”, meaning that people must sleep earlier and get up later in the cold winter, and the best time to get up is after the sun comes out, because the days are short and the nights are long in March in winter. According to the way of health care, people’s living and rest should be in line with the needs of the human body to nourish the essence and fix Yang. Yang energy. In addition, it is also important to keep the room temperature relatively suitable, because the room temperature is too low will certainly deplete the body’s Yang Qi, but the temperature difference from indoor to outdoor is too large, it is also easy to external cold Qi, inducing disease. Exercise is also very important in winter living and health, appropriate physical exercise can promote blood circulation, stretch the muscles and bones, increase the body’s heat, increase the body’s ability to resist disease. However, winter exercise should first pay attention to cold and warmth, avoid outdoor exercise in windy and snowy weather, and not before the sun rises or at night to exercise outdoors to prevent the depletion of Yang Qi. The intensity of exercise is also appropriate to a slight sweat, jogging, walking, tai chi, cycling, aerobics and so on are good choices. Winter health should also pay attention to the foot warmth, because the feet are the farthest away from the heart, poor peripheral blood circulation, coupled with the feet of the subcutaneous fat is less, the cold insulation capacity is poor, so there is “cold from the feet” said. Generations of health practitioners have taken hot water before bed to wash the feet as a measure to maintain health and eliminate diseases and prolong life. Hot water foot bath and foot massage, can unblock the meridians, promote blood flow, is conducive to eliminating fatigue, sleep. In addition, winter should also pay attention to the warmth of clothing, open the windows every day to ensure indoor air circulation, and attention to abstain from sexual intercourse, “Shou Shi Bao Yuan” said: “essence is the main kidney, winter health, should abstain from sexual life, can not posture its desire, hurt its kidney essence.” Because winter health care is valuable to hide the essence, should be the first to nourish the essence, in order to benefit life and prolong life. The way to nourish the heart of winter health In the severe winter, the wood withers and the grass decays, everything withers, and the body’s yin and yang metabolism is also at a relatively slow level, so people are prone to various emotional problems in winter, such as depression, laziness and sleepiness, drowsiness and other seasonal affective disorders in winter. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the maintenance of the heart and mind in winter, as stated in Suwen? The “Four Qi Tuning Shen Da Lun” points out that “make the will if the ambush if hidden, if there is a private intention, if there has been obtained.” In other words, in winter, the heart and mind should be kept inside, in a calm, calm state of mind, in the presence of irritation, sadness, depression, tension, anxiety and other bad emotions should be “not live in the heart”, as soon as possible, self-adjustment of the mind, away from negative emotions, winter should avoid staying indoors for a long time, suitable outdoor activities, sunshine, more communication with people, The winter should avoid staying indoors for a long time, suitable outdoor activities, sunbathing, more communication with people will help to improve the bad emotional state, maintain an optimistic, open-minded state of mind. In addition to emotional self-adjustment, you can also improve the emotional state of food and herbs, such as celery, spinach are rich in vitamin B, which helps the body produce dopamine and good mood hormone; bananas contain pantothenic acid and other components of the body’s “happy hormone”, can reduce psychological stress, relieve tension; grapefruit, lemon, orange contains vitamins The vitamin C contained in lemons and oranges can soothe depressed emotions and are good food for the heart. The Chinese herbal medicine lily has the effect of nourishing yin and moistening the lungs, clearing the heart and calming the mind. These herbs are good at astringent to the lungs to stop sweating, astringent to the essence to stop diarrhea, and to increase thirst and calm the mind. It is clear that winter health is important to “hide”, to follow the weather, care for Yang Qi, wise food, early to sleep and late to rise, appropriate exercise, adjust the state of mind, is the “key” to winter health.
