In addition to causing back pain, back cold can also affect the upper and lower limb muscles and joints, internal organs through the cervical and lumbar spine, promoting a variety of discomfort. 3, foot warm: once the feet are cold, can reflexively cause capillary constriction within the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract, cilia swing slowed down, resistance decreased. The consequence is that viruses and bacteria take advantage of the situation and multiply, making people catch a cold. Winter three methods 1, hot water soaking feet: before going to bed with 55-70 degrees Celsius hot water soaking feet, both to relieve fatigue, but also help sleep.

In winter, the body’s yang energy is hidden and the yin essence is fixed, which is the accumulation stage of the body’s energy, so it is a good season for people who are weak to take tonic. Winter is a good season for people with physical weakness, but the reasons for “deficiency” vary, so the tonic should vary from person to person and from body to body. Winter tonic also need to be divided into men and women, young and old, people need to go through different stages of development and physiological changes in their lives. At each stage, the internal organs of the human body have different degrees of changes in qi and blood and yin and yang, and the habits of people at each age and the situation of study and work are also different, therefore, according to these changes to benefit the body. Children’s internal organs are delicate, easy to deficient and easy to real, and often do not know how to control the diet, resulting in damage to the spleen and stomach, its winter tonic, when the spleen and stomach should be the main, can eat poria, hawthorn, jujube, barley, etc.. And young students study day and night, often rest sleep, heart and spleen or heart and kidney deficiency, its winter tonic can be used in the lotus seeds, shouwu, etc.. Many middle-aged people carry a heavy load, do not pay attention to rest, and lead to qi and blood depletion, so the winter tonic to nourish qi and blood, can eat longan meat, astragalus, angelica, etc.. The elderly are physically weak, plus suffering from a variety of diseases, so the elderly must be supplemented in winter.
