There is a group of friends around who tend to have cold hands and feet that are prone to colds, have stomach pains from their great aunt, eat undigested food, but are prone to fire, dry eyes, sore throats, and anxious moods. Eat cold for fear of hurting your body, eat hot and toothache and acne. In the end, what is the reason for this phenomenon? And what method to relieve it? 1, on the hot and cold – the unique physical characteristics of modern people Stay up late, mental stress, blowing cold air and eating cold drinks and other bad habits are easy to deplete the human body Dantian Yang Qi. However, Yang Qi does not disappear out of thin air, just become a fiery evil, fire inflammation, burning the body’s upper focus, and the Dantian can not get the warmth of Yang Qi leads to the lower focus of the cold, and gradually formed a very unique physical characteristics of modern people – on the hot under the cold. In layman’s terms, upper cold and lower heat is the body’s cold and heat did not go to the place where it should go. Specific performance: the upper focus of the heat is easy to fire, the lower focus of Yang Qi deficiency and fear of cold. 2, the temperature difference is due to “fire and water” uneven human blood has been in the cycle of movement, like the yin and yang ball in constant rotation. On the one hand, is located in the upper Yang Qi to turn to the lower, warm organs; and is located in the lower Yin water to turn to the upper, in order to moisturize, irrigate the whole body. When the balance of yin and yang, the body itself will not appear “temperature difference”. On the contrary, when the yang can not submerge, the yin water and can not nourish the upper body, then people will feel “on the hot and cold”. In the “upper” manifested as mouth ulcers, sore throat, irritability, insomnia and dreaminess, in the “lower” manifested as abdominal cold, easy diarrhea, lower limb weakness and so on. 3, lead to the fire to return to the source, adjust the balance of Chinese medicine, the fire is divided into the fire of yin deficiency and yang deficiency fire. Deficiency fire is also called dragon fire, for the newborn dragon. We can think of this newborn dragon as a mischievous child, submerged in the abyss, with water as its home. If the yin is weak, the water is shallow, and the dragon cannot swim in shallow water. If the dragon rises, it drives the fire of emptiness upward, so the yin is weak and the fire is strong. When the water is warm, the dragon dives; when the water is cold, the dragon rises. Therefore, the yin in the lower jiao (spleen and kidney) is too heavy, which will also make the dragon not submerge, so it becomes a deficiency fire. Therefore, in order to correct the “upper heat and lower cold”, the key also needs to “lead the fire back to the origin”. 4, how to prevent the upper heat under the cold Stay up late for a long time is the main reason for the depletion of yin, blood and fluid, so even if the Spring Festival or as little as possible to stay up late. Because to ensure adequate sleep, help to make Yang Qi hidden, Yin essence accumulation. In terms of health maintenance techniques, meditating and moxibustion of Shenque or Yongquan are all ways to “submerge yang”. (1) Pile Standing and Meditation – Submerging Yang Qi and Reducing Heart Fire When people stand on piles, Yang Qi will return to the body and organize and repair the body, which is very helpful for people who suffer from insomnia, excessive sweating, emotional irritability, and weakness of the five viscera. The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine says, “Being tranquil and empty, the true qi comes from it.” When people meditate cross-legged, the heart has been quiet, all worries are collected, naturally can be maintained in the state of tranquility and emptiness, then the body can be nourished by nature’s true qi. This is why many people sit cross-legged for ten minutes will feel the spirit of the reason. (2) moxibustion Shen Que, Yongquan – lead fire to the navel, also known as Shen Que point, is the body’s many acupuncture points in the only visible, palpable points, it is connected to the twelve meridians of the human body, the five viscera and six bowels, is the heart of the renal traffic, lead to the fire to the “gateway”. “Umbilical cord, between the kidneys of the dynamic gas is also, gas through the veins, cloth five viscera and six bowels, internal organs and meridians, so that the veins and smooth.” -Peng Zu, “Small Renewal Steam Umbilical Cord Method” Chinese medicine believes that in the umbilical cord paste some pungent-smelling medicines, or with moxibustion, hot compresses, etc., you can stimulate the Qi of the meridians, through the four-way meridian system, dredge the middle Jiao and the whole body meridians, so that qi and blood run unimpeded, so that the evil of the upper Jiao fire and heat will be introduced into the lower Jiao, to disperse the lower Jiao’s coldness. Yongquan acupoint is located at the bottom of the foot, when flexing the foot and curling the toes, the most concave depression in the center of the foot. The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine states that the kidneys originate from the Yongquan, and the Yongquan is the center of the foot. That is to say, the kidney meridian gas is like the source of water, from the foot, out of the irrigation of the whole body limbs. Therefore, proper moxibustion Yongquan acupoint can be health care strong body, harmonize yin and yang.
