Why Chinese mothers must sit for the menstrual period Abstract : Chinese people have attached great importance to sitting for the menstrual period since ancient times. For thousands of years, China has developed a unique culture of menstruation. The culture is about inheritance, but many young people nowadays refuse to sit for menstruation. They have been educated in western style since childhood, and they have seen and heard western technology, and they think that westerners do not sit for menstruation, and they go to work after giving birth, so we Chinese people do not need to sit for menstruation, and sitting for menstruation is the dregs of Chinese traditional culture. Is this really the case? Chinese people have attached great importance to menstruation since ancient times. For thousands of years, China has developed a unique culture of menstruation. But nowadays, many young people refuse to sit for menstruation. They have been educated in western style since they were young, and they have seen and heard western technology, and they think that westerners do not sit for menstruation and go to work after giving birth, so there is no need for us Chinese to sit for menstruation, and sitting for menstruation is the dregs of traditional Chinese culture. Is this really the case? The Chinese physique is different from that of Westerners Why must Chinese women sit for the menstrual cycle properly? The reason is very simple, because our physique is different from the Westerners. People from one side of the world are different, and there is a big difference between the races. Western civilization comes from nomadic people, a killing civilization. To this day, Westerners still use mainly knives and forks for eating. Their medicine is also like this, the most common treatment is to do surgery, moving to the scalpel. Why is this so? It has to do with the structure of the diet. Westerners mainly fish and meat food, Chinese medicine said “fish produces fire, meat produces phlegm”, from the physical, they are very heavy fire, heat and moisture, and in order to disperse these turbid gases, so their skin couples are very different from our Oriental people. For example, Westerners have heavy body hair, even the chest are long hair, their pores are very large, the bones are also very thick, in order to metabolize the dampness out of the body through the pores of the opening and closing function. This is the result of hundreds of thousands or even millions of years of evolution from the physiology in order to increase the strength of the catharsis. Then look at us Chinese, very early to say goodbye to the flood era, since ancient times, mainly fibrous food, more grains and vegetables. Due to the light diet, the Chinese physique is more astringent than cathartic, so our body hair is very light, the skin is tight and delicate, the pores are small, and the bones are particularly fine. The Chinese medicine explained after the birth of the maintenance of the warp Chinese medicine believes that, in general, the Chinese bones are closed, but after the birth, with the opening of the pelvis, the maternal whole body couples are in a state of open relaxation. At this time, wind and cold can easily take advantage of the deficiency and enter the human body through the open bone joints. At the end of the month, the mother’s pelvis and the whole body’s tendons and bones couples will gradually return to their normal closed state. Then, the cold evil that enters the body during the menstruation period will also be consequently locked in the body, leaving serious consequences from then on. Weak mothers may feel back pain soon after the end of the month; and most women feel pain all over their body, especially in the bones, when they are older; some will even have pain for life. In Chinese medicine, this disease is called “postpartum wind”, i.e. moon sickness. There is a saying in Chinese medicine that “the disease in the month is treated in the month”. This means that the disease that you got during the last menstruation can only be cured during the next menstruation. It is because only at the next menstruation can the bones and joints of the whole body open up again and reach a state of natural relaxation. At this opportunity, medicine and stones can be applied to drive out the cold and cure the disease. Westerners have rough bones and joints, they will have more than enough opportunity to drive out the cold, so they are not too afraid of the cold, and this physique has created a tradition that they have not developed to sit on the moon. But this is not the same as Westerners do not sit for the moon at all. A foreigner once complained about his Chinese wife’s trouble and the need to sit for the menstrual cycle, saying that Westerners never sit for the menstrual cycle and are fine as usual. But he couldn’t deny that there are many Western women who get joint diseases when they grow old. Therefore, it is not that menstruation is not important, nor is it that Westerners are fine without it, but Western doctors focus on where the pain is and rarely analyze the root cause of the disease, and they have never linked the joint diseases that women get when they get older with the lack of menstruation after giving birth decades ago. After an abortion, you also have to “sit for the month”. As we have said in the previous article, a small birth is even worse than a big birth, and a small birth hurts the body more. Because the big birth is ripe, is the performance of the body and mind round, the merit and virtue is complete; while small birth is born twisted, close to the destruction, hurt the branches and vines, and even the roots, both physical and mental damage. So after the miscarriage more need to recuperate for a period of time, is also to “sit in the moon”, from the body to the heart to adjust the adjustment.
