A. Why do winter diseases need to be treated in summer? The reason why winter diseases are treated in summer is that only summer can remove the “root of the disease” from the body of such patients. Take chronic cough and asthma as an example, the root of the disease is cold and phlegm, and if the cold phlegm is not removed, the cough and asthma will not be cured. The Yang energy of people is the weakest in winter, and the winter patients themselves are weak and cold, plus the cold and ice in winter, and the two cold clamps, there is no possibility of thawing. Therefore, treating cold diseases in winter is like drying clothes on a rainy day, which is difficult to dry. At the peak of summer, the body’s yang will reach the high point of the year, the outside world’s hot and proud sun, when the cold, phlegm and dampness hiding in the body, that is, the root of the disease, the easiest to be driven out. If you do not get rid of the accumulated cold in the summer, wait until the autumn breeze together, the outside cold again, it will be trapped inside and outside. Second, what diseases are considered “winter diseases”? According to Chinese medicine, winter diseases mainly refer to diseases that are easily attacked or aggravated by cold, such as recurrent colds, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, rhinitis, arthritis and so on. These diseases are distinctly seasonal, with aggravation in autumn and winter and reduction in summer. There are two main characteristics of winter diseases: 1. Patients are people with plain Yang deficiency physique. Most of them are pale, cold, cold limbs, and sweating. 2. The symptoms of the disease are aggravated by cold. For example, 80% of asthma patients belong to Yang deficiency constitution, after winter, the degree of coughing and wheezing are significantly increased, at this time, should be “urgent to treat its symptoms”, first control the symptoms of coughing, phlegm and wheezing, wait until summer and then use the warming and dispersing cold Chinese medicine external application to dispel phlegm, support Yang Qi, strengthen the body, so that the winter symptoms are reduced, or no longer onset. When to apply San Fu paste? The first day of each volt is the best time to apply the patch. If you miss this day, the effect can be achieved on any day of the first volt, as long as the patient applies the patch on the next two or three volt days. Every 10 days, preferably 3 times in a row, for a course of treatment, and for 3 years. The three ambers are usually applied before 11 am on the first day of the first, second and third ambers. From 11:00 am to 1:00 pm is the noon hour, Chinese medicine believes that at this time, people’s acupuncture points, pores fully open, if just paste the cake, the drug is the easiest to penetrate the body. Four, paste after the medicine cake note what? To ensure the efficacy, the general medicine cake must be pasted 4 ~ 6 hours. When you first put it on, it feels cool, and after a little while, there will be local itching and heat, so you must put it on past noon, and if there is no special discomfort, you can extend the application time appropriately. Patients with sensitive skin need to carefully observe the reaction of the skin during the application process, if the burning and tingling, itching and heating is obvious, the drug should be removed in time. It is better not to enter the air-conditioned room after the medicine cake is put on, because the cold will make the pores contract and affect the absorption of the medicine; and do not exercise, sweating will make the adhesive tape of the fixed medicine cake fall off, it is better to blow in a cool place or with an electric fan breeze appropriately. You can take a bath after the medicine cake is removed, but do not rub your back, and the water on the points is gently dried with a towel. V. Is there a taboo during the voltaic patch? First, be careful with spicy and dry foods to prevent injury to yin. The hot summer climate, easy to hurt Yin, and spicy warm and dry products easily lead to dry heat, dark depletion of essence, so should be careful to eat cinnamon, pepper, aniseed, cumin, dog meat, mutton and fresh cinnamon, litchi, etc.. Second, avoid taking a lot of cold food. Hot people are prone to cold drinking cold, if a large number of cold food, it is easy to cause damage to the Yang, spleen and stomach weakness, and even damage a Yang, light diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, the serious cause of long-term incurable Yang deficiency. Third, be cautious of eating a lot of fatty, sweet and greasy food. The summer is prone to summer dampness, the evil of dampness and heat is easy to attack the body, if you take a lot of high-calorie, high-sugar food, it is easy to lead to internal and external dampness and heat of the evil combined with the body. What is the medicine in the San Fu paste? Nowadays, the San Fu patch is optimized and processed by selecting natural herbs with penetrating and warming effects, such as white mustard seeds, pine and other warming herbs, which are suitable for the condition, and after concocted and mixed with medicinal juice, it is applied on the acupuncture points of the body to unblock the meridians and regulate the qi and blood, thus achieving the effect of invigorating the yang energy, promoting blood circulation, dispelling the cold and improving the immunity of the body.
