First of all, about the concept of “winter and summer treatment”. “Winter disease and summer treatment” is a unique technique of acupuncture to prevent and treat diseases, which is a good embodiment of the concept of “treating the untreated” in traditional Chinese medicine. It refers to a series of preventive treatment methods during the summer when the temperature is the highest and the yang energy is the most vigorous, i.e., the three volt season, for certain pathologies that tend to occur in winter or are easily aggravated in winter, before the onset of disease. As the saying goes, “prevention is better than cure”, and classical Chinese medical texts also say that “the superior doctor does not treat the disease before it happens”, which means that a highly skilled doctor should “treat the disease before it happens”, i.e. That is to say, a wise doctor should “treat the disease before it happens”, that is, “prevent the disease before it happens” and “prevent the disease after it happens”. That is to say, on the one hand, before the disease occurs, through the health care and conditioning of the body, strengthen the righteousness, improve their own resistance to disease, in order to achieve “the righteousness of the internal, evil can not dry”, the purpose of preventing the occurrence of disease; on the other hand, for the disease has already occurred, according to the law of disease changes, before the disease has involved more On the other hand, for diseases that have already occurred, we should take measures to prevent the transmission of diseases and protect the internal organs that have not been affected before the diseases have affected more internal organs and meridians, in order to achieve the effect of “rafter and drum” and “getting twice the result with half the effort”. Under the guidance of this theoretical idea, Chinese medicine pays special attention to disease prevention, and thus invented a lot of methods, currently in the clinical application of the more common is the “winter disease summer treatment”, that is, the summer into the volcano season of the drug compress. Here, let’s understand what is “winter disease”. Winter diseases do not simply refer to diseases that occur in winter, but to certain pathologies that occur in winter or are easily aggravated in winter, as well as those who exhibit the cold evidence of winter in summer, including those who are cold in their own constitution, such as bronchitis, bronchial asthma, rheumatism, rheumatoid, etc.; those who are afraid of wind and cold in summer, do not like air conditioners and electric fans, prefer warm food, want to wear long-sleeved clothes, etc.; those who are particularly susceptible to colds in winter, usually have cold hands and feet, and are prone to frostbite, etc.; and those who often have back pain and frostbite. Frostbite, etc.; frequent back pain, neck and shoulder pain, joint pain, especially painful areas are not red, not hot, whenever the weather is cold, feel cold aggravated, like thick clothing, etc.; stomach and epigastric pain, like hot drinks, women dysmenorrhea, get heat will be comfortable, etc., these manifestations are the scope of “winter disease”. The “summer treatment” refers to the use of acupuncture, moxibustion or internal medicine to treat or prevent the above-mentioned diseases during the summer when the temperature is the highest and the Yang energy is the most vigorous. According to Chinese medicine, the principles of winter and summer treatment are mainly the following three aspects: 1. According to the theory of Chinese medicine that Heaven and Man correspond, Heaven and Man are united, and the prosperity and decline of the human body’s yin and yang qi and blood are closely related to the natural world, and the two can influence each other. The yang energy of the human body and the yang energy of the nature are born in spring, flourish in summer, and are collected in autumn and hidden in winter. In the summer, the Yang energy of nature is at its peak, and the Yang energy of the human body should be at its highest in the summer. 2, Chinese medicine’s “spring and summer nourish Yang, autumn and winter nourish Yin” theory. There are many disease-causing factors in nature, which are summarized by the ancients as wind, cold, heat, humidity, dryness and fire, known as the “Six Phenomena”, of which diseases caused by cold are mainly in winter. However, Chinese medicine believes that the formation of disease, external causes is only one aspect, more important is the state of the human physique, suffering from cold invasion of people often lack of yang energy, the accumulation of cold does not dissipate more injury to yang energy, resulting in internal cold. Therefore, “winter diseases” are mostly due to the invasion of cold evil as the external cause, and the patient’s physical Yang Qi deficiency as the internal cause. According to the Nei Jing, “Yang Qi is like the sky and the sun, if you lose it, you will lose your life and not manifest”, emphasizing the importance of “Yang Qi” for human health and longevity. For “Yang Qi” disease, “Nei Jing” says “Nourish Yang in spring and summer”, that is, in the spring and summer season, in accordance with the heavenly and human corresponding to the main road of health care, through the Yang of the sky to supplement the Yang of the human body; in addition, the couples of the human skin in summer are loose, Yang is strong in the outside and deficient in the inside. At this time, we can make use of the natural Yang energy to nourish the internal deficiency of Yang energy to help the growth of Yang energy in the human body, so that we can achieve twice the effect with half the effort in treating diseases. In addition, the three volt days, the human skin coup completely open, selected specific points for compressing, the drug is most easily penetrated by the skin into the acupuncture meridians, through the meridians of Qi and blood directly to the disease, the corresponding organs to play the effect of support to remove evil, 3, the theory of treating the untreated disease. Summer is the “winter disease” remission period, the weather is hot, the body’s Yang Qi is relatively strong, especially in the three volt days, during this period of winter disease summer treatment, can enhance the body’s immunity, so as to help eliminate evil, prevent disease, before the disease, reduce the number of winter illness, reduce the degree of morbidity, to achieve the purpose of both the symptoms and the root cause of treatment, to promote the purpose of disease healing. The precautions during the compress: 1, pay attention to the compress time is not too long, avoid blistering, so as not to cause infection; 2, once blistered, small can not be treated, the diameter of up to a centimeter, the best use of sterile needle will be blistered, and then coated with comfrey oil or gentian violet; 3, forbidden to eat cold, spicy stimulating food; 4, do not greedy cold; 5, do not eat fatty, sweet, thick and greasy, phlegm and damp food; 6, forbidden to eat seafood, shrimp and other hairy substances, so as not to affect the therapeutic effect.
