The way to get rid of cold dampness 1, blood is enough to get rid of the root of cold dampness Only sufficient blood in the body, the kidney is sufficient to ensure smooth blood circulation, the whole body will feel warm and comfortable. Cold and dampness in front of sufficient blood, smooth blood flow is no place to stand. Without cold dampness, there will be no pain here and there, and there will be no spots, acne, ringworm. 2, the whole body feels warm after exercise Regular exercise, regular physical labor and housework people, will feel the heat in the body. This is because the movement produces heat, which plays a role in dispersing cold and damp. However, if you just focus on exercise and insufficient blood in the body, after exercise will be tired, resistance decreases, cold and damp will take advantage of the weakness, the body will still be weak and sick. 3, proper sweating is the best way to get rid of cold proper sweating can get rid of cold. Whether it is sweating after exercise, eating warm food and sweating, or sweating slightly after soaking feet, can achieve the effect of dispelling cold. 4, diet to dispel the cold often eat spicy, warm food can dispel the cold. Due to differences in geographic climate, each region has a local diet suitable for dispelling cold. Such as the north like to eat onions, ginger, garlic, chili peppers, beef, lamb, these warm, high-calorie food to dispel cold; Sichuan people like spicy; Guizhou people like spicy and sour; Hunan people like fried spicy; some people like to drink cold medicine wine, etc.. Although different, the role is to dispel cold, dampness, warmth. 5, heat therapy to dispel the cold Heat therapy to dispel the cold is one of the ancient, natural and effective methods used by people since ancient times to dispel the cold. Some use hot water bags, or heated sand, stone, salt, paraffin hot compress; some use moxa smoked painful parts, or in the painful parts or acupuncture points paste ginger or garlic slices and then smoked with moxa; some use to dispel cold Chinese medicine liquid boiling water bubble, smoke, etc.; some use a variety of physical therapy instrument irradiation to dispel cold; some use scraping, fire cans, etc. to dispel cold. It can be said that in hospitals, folk have a lot of methods to dispel cold, these methods to a certain extent can relieve and treat various diseases caused by cold and damp. 6, homemade external cold medicine wine Take 50 grams of pepper and put it into 250 ml of white wine (55 degrees) to soak. Whole pepper to be soaked for a week before use, if the pepper into the crusher into powder, soak 1 to 2 days can be used. (Pepper to supermarkets to buy better quality, do not buy pepper powder sold on the roadside stalls to prevent counterfeiting, affecting the efficacy.) Pepper is warm, warm in the cold can be removed from the six internal organs of cold, and can pass blood, regulate the joints, warm the waist and knees. Use pepper wine rubbed on the painful parts, up and down back and forth, rub hot can be directly smoked with green moxa, you can also warm up the hot water bag, be careful not to burn, can be warmed up through the clothes, this method is good for the treatment of lumbago, knee swelling and pain, frozen shoulder, etc. 7, homemade dispel cold cotton pad There is a folk remedy: in the summer of the volcano, the ginger squeezed into juice, take the cotton in which soaked, slightly squeezed, do not wring, directly to the sun to dry, dry until. Then wrap the cotton with a cloth and sew it into a small cotton pad. In winter, which part of the pain, the small cloth pad will be sewn in close clothing inside the corresponding painful parts, has been worn on the body, generally after half a month of use, and then a new one. When using, if the outside of this ginger cotton pad and then warmed with hot water bags, the effect will be better. (Note: small cotton pads do not have to be made in the summer, in fact, the same can be done in winter.) Ginger is warm in nature and has the effect of warming the meridians and dispersing cold, warming the stomach and stopping vomiting. This method can treat neck, shoulder, waist, leg and other parts of the pain, but also to treat the elderly winter most likely to commit old slow branch (chronic bronchitis), asthma. The old slow branch and asthma may be caused by kidney deficiency and kidney cold. Elderly people suffering from old slow branch and asthma must pay attention to keeping their waist warm. You can put the ginger pad on the back and waist, and then put a hot water bag to warm up, you can also make a bag to the hot water bag, back on the back or tied to the waist more convenient. 8, fast dispel cold and damp method This is the most used by me, the fastest way to dispel cold and damp, only for adults. The method is as follows: 1. Cut the ginger into thin slices, steam it on the pot, soften it and set it aside. In summer, use 6 to 8 green moxa strips (8 to 10 in winter), go to a stationery store and buy a large clip to hold the moxa strips, or use tape to bundle the moxa strips into a row and light them. 2. Place steamed ginger slices on your back. Light the rows of moxa strips, keeping them half an inch to an inch away from the ginger slices, and move them slowly up and down. Usually smoke for 30 to 40 minutes. When you feel pain, try to move further away. If the meridians in the back are clear, even if the whole row of moxa is close to the back, you will seldom feel any pain, but only a warm and comfortable feeling. When you take off the ginger after smoking, if the skin under the ginger is wet and the ginger slices are also wet, it means that the cold dampness in the body is heavy. In contrast, for people with less cold dampness in the body, the ginger slices should be dry and crisp and dry on the skin after being smoked with a large number of green moxa sticks for several minutes. 3.Apply ginger slices to both the lower abdomen and around the navel and smoke up and down for 20 to 30 minutes. 4.Smoke 10 to 20 strokes on the outside and inside of both lower legs, up and down and back and forth from the ankle to the knee. 5. Smoke 20 to 30 strokes up and down and back and forth on the outer side of both arms at the Waiguan point. Generally, after an hour or so of whole-body moxa smoking, the patient will feel warm, comfortable and relaxed all over the body because the warmth of moxibustion accelerates blood circulation, and the dark gray color on the face and hands caused by heavy cold and dampness and blocked meridians will be reduced, and the face will become brighter and more lustrous. The whole body smoked with moxa activates the blood significantly, and people with little blood in the body will experience discomfort such as chest tightness, panic and dizziness after smoking. Therefore, it is not suitable for older people and people with serious illnesses, especially not the back and legs, but only the belly to the navel. People who are physically weak should reduce the time of smoking each time. It is best not to smoke the whole body but only the abdomen in winter, when it is the season for collecting moxa. As there are many moxa sticks used, it is better to treat next to the kitchen hood so that the smoke can be extracted in time. Why do I feel hot and cold in my body? Everyone has the experience of “fire”, such as hot weather in the summer that causes dryness, sores in the mouth and tongue and dry stools after eating foods that cause fire, as well as people with high liver fire who have a short temper and high internal heat, and people who have been ill for a long time who have “yin deficiency and fire”. Chinese medicine will be “fire” is divided into real fire and deficiency fire, real fire is treated with the diarrhea method of clearing heat and lowering fire, deficiency fire is the use of tonic method. As long as the real fire, now the most commonly used in Chinese medicine to clear heat, detoxification, fire medicine and Western medicine anti-inflammatory drugs are allopathic, even eat three days to lower the fire. But now there are fewer and fewer people who simply have real fire, most of them are false fire. The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine says: “Now the fever, all typhoid and so on …… People’s injury in the cold is also, then for the disease heat.” Here it is pointed out that cold is the cause of fever. If the cold is too strong, the body is manifested in the heat, heat disease, that is, the false fire is actually caused by the cold. Why does cold cause “fire” instead? As introduced earlier, the direct consequence of cold in the body is to injure the kidneys, causing a deficiency of kidney yang and kidney qi, resulting in a decrease in the function of the organs and blood deficiency. The kidney is water in the five elements of Chinese medicine, water is to irrigate and nourish the whole body, when this water in the body is insufficient, just like the earth is short of water, the body will be dry. The organs are the same, each organ needs to work, movement, this movement if the lack of water nourishment, it is easy to friction heat. The most typical is the liver, the liver is wood, most need water water, and once the lack of water, liver dryness, liver fire is very obvious. If you give the liver enough water to keep it moist at all times, it will not be dry and there will be no fire. There is also the head and face is also the most fire-prone part. Because the kidney is the master of bone marrow and brain, when the kidney yang is insufficient and the kidney qi is deficient, the sea of marrow will be empty, and the remote head will be the first to suffer from lack of blood, that is, “lack of water”, and the natural response will be dry symptoms, such as dry eyes, dry mouth, dry tongue, dry throat, sore throat and so on. In addition, the mouth, throat, nasal cavity and ears are organs exposed to the air, which are more susceptible to bacterial infection. When the blood supply to the neck, head and face is reduced, the immune function here decreases and various discomforts occur, so the probability of developing rhinitis, pharyngitis, periodontitis, tonsillitis and otitis media increases. And because there is no adequate blood supply, it is difficult to cure various inflammatory diseases, they will recur and become various chronic diseases that do not heal for a long time, such as chronic rhinitis, chronic pharyngitis, chronic periodontitis, chronic otitis media, etc. When modern people mistakenly eat a lot of cold fruits and vegetables regardless of the season, when people use air conditioning in the summer for a long time, when the ladies in order to show the figure as little as possible after wearing clothes, a lot of cold damp is quietly into the body, the natural kidney fire is more and more inadequate, false fire is getting bigger. The current common use of diarrhea, fire, fire cold drugs for treatment, which makes the cold on the cold, deficiency on the deficiency, the more the treatment of fire is bigger. In fact, this is not the right treatment. But if you want to remove the cold dampness in the body, to nourish the kidneys, using all the warm food. Warming therapy, is this not adding fuel to the fire? It’s true that people with deficiency fire commonly have “deficiency without tonic”, but this condition of not being able to tonic is just an illusion. When I meet a patient with a large fire, if the general massage method to unblock the meridians, the false fire is still very large, I let them use mugwort water to soak their feet, garlic on the heart of the feet, or eat raw loach to reduce fire. Especially after eating a few raw loach, all the false fire in their body can soon be knocked out. After the removal of the illusion in the body, presenting a cold, then use food therapy to replenish the blood and kidneys, how to eat will not be on fire. When the blood is quickly replenished, when the body is no longer attacked by cold, your kidney yang fire, kidney qi are constantly enriched. Kidney qi is sufficient, blood is sufficient, the body is naturally strong, all kinds of false fire naturally subside, all kinds of chronic inflammatory diseases are naturally easy to cure. Cold and dampness in the body is also very likely to cause the meridians to be blocked, heat dissipation difficulties, easy to feel stuffy, hot and dry. Compared to the elderly, children’s meridians are smooth, heat dissipation is fast, so children in the summer is the most fear of heat, as usual, playing in the sun in the heat of the day. While the elderly meridians are not smooth, not easy to sweat, heat dissipation is not smothered in the body, people are very uncomfortable, irritable, only eat cold food to feel better inside. Of course, this kind of meridian blockage caused by body heat has not only appeared in the elderly, now people generally greedy for cold, exercise and less, which will naturally cause the blood flow slowed down, slowed down, thus very easy to lead to meridian blockage, meridian blockage is brought to the body is a variety of pain, as well as skin acne, long spots. Look around, how many people can say they are very healthy, never had back pain, leg pain, arm pain? And look around the skin, and how many bright color, elasticity, no spots, no acne? These are all related to the long-term greed for cold. People who often exercise have this experience, as long as the movement open, sweating, will feel the body’s dry heat naturally disappeared, relaxed, moody, this is because the movement of the body temperature rose significantly, blood circulation accelerated, sweating in the discharge of cold and damp at the same time can also take away the false fire, dredge the meridians. This is the reason why most athletes have a cheerful personality. No longer depressed after exercise, and then pay attention to the nutritional supplements, you will not suffer from depression. Nowadays, people generally crave coolness and feel hot and dry when they eat a lot of cold food, which is caused by weak kidney energy and blocked meridians. The hot and dry will further crave for cold, which will aggravate the constriction and blockage of blood vessels and meridians, thus entering a vicious cycle.
