How to get rid of the cold in the body? Pay attention to these 15 cold performances!

Different degrees or parts of the human body will form different symptoms. Therefore, the symptoms and causes of cold can be roughly divided into three categories: cold in the meridians behind the body, cold in the meridians in front of the body, and cold in the lungs.

Symptoms such as limb joint pain, neck and shoulder pain, frozen shoulder, and backache indicate cold and dampness in the body. The more painful areas and the longer the duration, the heavier the cold and dampness in the body.

The meridians behind the body are cold

The meridians behind the body are mainly the bladder meridian, because the bladder meridian is located in a large area of the back, and it is in the part of the human body that is most susceptible to cold, so many people have a lot of cold in this part. When the cold air from the bladder meridian is discharged, the entire shoulder and back will be sore, or sore.

Since the bladder meridian runs through the entire head, there will be a feeling of swelling and headache or migraine in the back of the head, a dull pain in the Yintang area near the eyebrows, a strong pain in the Fengchi acupoint behind the ear, and discomfort or cough in the throat, all of which are symptoms when the bladder is discharged through the cold air. In both cases, the symptoms of a blocked bladder meridian in the back are symptoms.

How to deal with the symptoms that occur when the bladder is cold

【Gua Sha】

When the uncomfortable symptoms of bladder meridian cold are excluded, the easiest way to deal with it is to scrape, because the back is the main acupuncture point of the bladder meridian, almost the entire left and right sides of the back are the parts where the bladder meridian is distributed. Therefore, as long as you scrape the back of the neck, back and forehead to make the meridians unobstructed, and take a sleep after scraping, the uncomfortable feeling will probably disappear.

In addition, when you have a headache at the beginning, you can drink more water, and then go out to bask in the sun, the so-called sun, in the winter can be direct sunlight, in spring and summer, as long as the light is strong under the shade of the tree, usually the symptoms will be eliminated naturally after half an hour. In addition, drinking a cup of longan red date tea, ginger soup, and a good night's sleep can also eliminate some of the symptoms.

The chill of the meridians in front of the body

When the cold qi from the meridians in front of the body is discharged, the most typical symptoms are nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose, and sometimes watery diarrhea. These symptoms are the same as when the cold air is expelled from the lungs, and the way to distinguish them is to touch the forehead and the tip of the nose with your hands and compare them with the temperature of the rest of the face.

 Distinguish between cold in the meridians in front of the body / cold in the lungs

If the temperature of the forehead is low, these symptoms are the discharge of cold qi from the meridians in front of the body

If the temperature of the tip of the nose is low, it is the discharge of cold air from the lungs

The cold qi in the meridians does not cause cough and fever, and when the cold qi is discharged from the lungs, it is easy to cough and fever.

The cold meridians in front of the body are mainly the stomach meridian and the large intestine meridian. Therefore, when the cold is discharged, there will be symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort. The most common thing is flatulence, and sometimes there is a constant desire to snack, but the stool is not smooth, and the cold is almost healed when the stool is smooth.

The best strategy at this time is to recuperate, so that the body can concentrate energy to expel the cold from the body, you can drink some longan red date tea, white rice porridge to improve the body's energy, and help the body to eliminate the cold.

The chill in the lungs

The temperature at the tip of the nose is lower, which is the most obvious sign of cold coming out of the lungs. Usually this low temperature precedes the various sensory symptoms.

Some people's whites of the eyes will also appear a faint blue at this time, especially children are most likely to have this situation, mothers as soon as they see the whites of the child's eyes turn blue, they should touch the tip of the nose, if it also becomes ice, then it is necessary to have the child is about to catch a cold.

You can prepare antipyretics at home, and when the body temperature rises above 38 and a half degrees, you can use antipyretics to prevent harm to your body. If the tip of the nose is low or the whites of the eyes turn blue, a cold will begin to appear.

If the previous period of low temperature is very long (3 days to 1 week) and symptoms appear, the cold must be very serious, and it is likely that there will be a persistent high fever. It seems that the human body has been brewing for a long time to drive out the cold, so it is particularly serious. In general, the stronger the body, the stronger the person is to drive away the cold, and the more severe the cold.

The breath exhaled by coughing is always cold. This cough should be seen as a form of deep breathing, not a disease. It is a normal function of the human body to expel the cold qi hidden deep in the lungs.

It is important to correctly distinguish which symptoms are caused by the disease and which are caused by the normal functioning of the body.

When it is determined that coughing is a normal function of the human body, the purpose is to remove cold from the lungs, and in the face of this kind of cough, there is no need to rush to stop it with medicine, but to seek ways to improve the body's ability to eliminate cold and completely expel cold from the body.

Traditional Chinese folk use of ginger soup to enhance the body's heat energy, or Chinese and Western medicine advocate more rest, etc., are good ways to improve the body's energy to speed up the elimination of cold. These correct methods sometimes do not make the symptoms worse, and often even make them worse.

Because after the body's ability is enhanced, there will be more effort to expel the cold, and the body needs to expel more garbage, which will of course be more uncomfortable. In this case, although the symptoms are temporarily more severe, the overall duration of illness will be shortened, and the cold will be really discharged.

The chill on the nape of the neck

Q: Why is the upper cervical spine and the back of the brain this area easy to get cold, easy to have headaches when the wind blows, people are often prone to feel drowsy, and the liver function test in the hospital is normal.

Answer: Usually most people do not feel when they are cold, most of the time it is when the cold is being discharged outward, the upper cervical spine and the back of the head are mainly the bladder meridian area, among which the large vertebral points of the Du Mai are closely related to the cold in the lungs.

Therefore, this situation should be that the body is excreting cold, and most of the excretion is cold in the bladder meridian or lungs. At this time, the temperature of the tip of the nose can be used to judge the cold of which system, if the temperature of the tip of the nose is lower than that of the forehead, it is the cold in the lungs that is excreted; If there is not much difference in the temperature between the tip of the nose and the forehead, it is the cold of the bladder meridian that is excreted.

Removes the reaction of cold air

In the process of body recuperation, there have been a variety of different cold symptoms, which can be classified into two types: surface cold and deep cold, and the surface cold is further divided into two types: front cold and back cold. In experience, the cold elimination of the front and back is the most common symptom. Most of the cold on the front is stomach cold, and the cold on the back is expelled from the bladder.

When the cold qi invades the body, if the blood qi energy is not too low, the body will expel the cold qi as much as possible. When the blood energy is insufficient, the body does not have the ability to eliminate it immediately, so it can only choose to store it temporarily. Cold air is a low-temperature substance that must be converted into a substance with the same body temperature before it can be stored in the body.

At this time, it is necessary to change the chemical composition inside the substance, release part of the chemical energy, and increase the temperature of the substance itself. When the blood energy is sufficient to expel the cold qi, the body will reactivate the opposite program, using its own energy to add its own energy to the cold substance, so that it can absorb enough energy and then convert the chemical components into the original components. Sometimes colds can feel like they are coming out of the bones, which is caused by the cold substances absorbing the heat from the surrounding area.

This transformation method requires a lot of energy to remove the cold. Therefore, it is necessary to nourish enough blood qi so that the body can activate the work of eliminating cold qi. Just like electric fans and air conditioners are both tools used to ward off heat in summer, the power consumption of air conditioners is far higher than that of electric fans. The main reason is that the fan only rotates the blades and does not make any adjustment for the temperature change, and the air conditioner needs to use the refrigerator to change the temperature, so it needs to consume a lot of electricity.

As long as the electrical appliances used to change the temperature in daily life require a lot of electricity. In the same way, the elimination of cold qi requires a series of heat exchange reactions within the human body, so sufficient blood energy is required to activate it.

 Exclusion of a reaction to lung cold

The cold in the lungs is the deepest cold in the body, which may be a more severe cold, or the cold in the meridians has existed for too long and gradually moved to the deeper layers. The removal of this cold requires a large amount of energy.

So how do you get rid of lung cold?

Most people are looking forward to a medicine or massage that immediately removes the cold. In fact, there is no such method, just like we can only apply anti-inflammatory drugs to the wound when our skin is injured, and the repair of the wound is done by the body itself. The removal of cold is done by the body itself, and when the body has enough energy, the work of removing cold will begin.

The reason why children often have colds and flu is not that they lack resistance, on the contrary, their blood and qi ability is very high, as long as a little cold enters the body, the work of eliminating cold is immediately activated, and the symptoms of cold and flu appear.

There are several symptoms that may occur when the cold in the lungs is removed, including sneezing, runny nose, cough, headache, fever, general weakness or aches, watery diarrhea, biliary menstrual pain, pain in the acupoints (sore shoulders and neck), and night sweats at 4 or 5 a.m.

Unlike the fever of gastroenteritis, this fever is not caused by bacteria, but the lung qi (the ability of the lungs) and the cold qi in the body are stalemate, and the cold qi cannot be discharged smoothly. At this time, it is best to massage the lung meridians on your hands to improve the ability of the lungs, so that the body can smoothly discharge the cold qi.

 Reactions that rule out stomach cold

The elimination of stomach cold will first cause nasal congestion, followed by sneezing, runny nose, and sometimes migraine near the temples for varying lengths. Sometimes it happens for a week, sometimes it happens for a day or two. After about two or three days, there will be moisture between the feet, and then proteinuria will also appear in the urine, and the duration can also vary from two or three days to a week or two.

When the body excretes the garbage produced by the stomach cold from the gap between the feet, the garbage is rich in physiological waste in addition to water. Most of these physiocratic wastes are rich in protein, and the humid and protein-rich environment is very suitable for the proliferation of mold, which can lead to the disease of athlete's foot.

When the blood qi is poor, most people's bodies will have an imbalance between the left and right, so the symptoms of wet toes sometimes only occur unilaterally; The question is not whether there are bacteria in the cracks of the feet, but whether they provide an environment for bacteria to grow.

When the body shows symptoms of eliminating cold, it is best to review the daily routine of the previous period. If the symptoms appear after sufficient rest, it is normal and effective to eliminate the cold, if the symptoms of cold discharge caused by overwork, it is caused by false fire, moderate rest to avoid recurrence of symptoms.

 Excludes the reaction of the bladder to the cold

When the head or back is cold, the cold will remain in the bladder meridian, and when the body's energy rises to the ability to expel the cold, it will begin to expel the cold from the bladder meridian.

When the bladder meridian expels cold, in addition to the symptoms of sneezing and runny nose of the common cold, the most obvious symptoms are sore throat or hoarseness, followed by swelling in the back of the head and shoulder and neck pain. At this time, massage or scraping on the bladder meridian is the fastest way to relieve symptoms.

As with all cold qi elimination, when the body begins to expel the cold qi from the bladder meridian, it is best to increase rest to allow the body to concentrate energy to expel the cold qi. In addition, Chinese medicine has a good medicine that can help the body to eliminate cold more effectively, so it is also a good direction to ask a Chinese medicine practitioner to prescribe conditioning.

When this phenomenon of eliminating cold in the bladder meridian often occurs, it is necessary to review the living environment to see if there is a chance of cold invading continuously. In particular, the head and back are often exposed to cold, for example, if the hair is not dried in time or the head or back is often exposed to direct air conditioning.

Rest is the best way to get rid of the cold

Regardless of which system is excreted, rest is the best strategy. Rest can save all the energy of the body, so that the body can use it to deal with the cold, and the recovery will be faster.

At this time, if the body is forced to use more energy in other places, such as work, or exercise that consumes a lot of physical strength, the symptoms can also be stopped, but the suspension of this symptom is not the "end" of clearing the cold, but the body does not have enough energy to continue to drive away the cold.

In addition to resting, you can also take appropriate Chinese medicine to speed up the expulsion of cold. The easier way to do this is to take some of the traditional formulas that are readily available on the market. When it is determined that it is cold in the lungs, ginger tea can be taken; If it is determined that it is the cold qi of the bladder meridian, you can take longan red date tea to help the body expel the cold.

However, with this logic, it is necessary to recognize that taking these formulas will not alleviate the symptoms, and most of the time it will increase the symptoms and make the cold pass faster, so that the duration of the symptoms can be shortened. The most important thing is that this method does not block the body from doing what it should do, and there are no sequelae.

These symptoms do not occur once or twice, but usually persist for a period of time before recurrence. As the blood qi gets higher and higher, the cold qi is discharged less and less, the symptoms will become lighter and lighter, and the recovery will be faster and faster, and finally when the body will drain the cold as much as possible, it will not happen again.

If the wrong suppressive treatment is used, the effect is completely opposite, and the cold accumulates more and more, the symptoms become more and more severe, and the recovery becomes slower and slower, and finally it becomes a common old problem.
