After the white dew, the yang disappears and the yin grows, use this small method to stimulate the yang energy of the body, especially those who are deficient in yang should do more!
Bailu is the third solar term of autumn, and mid-autumn begins, at this time, the weather gradually cools, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large. Autumn is the transition period for the human body to eliminate yin and yin, after the white dew, the yin will begin to gradually aggravate, and the autumn health should focus on raising yin and supporting yang. If you don't protect your yang energy well at this time, and over-consume, as the cold qi in late autumn increases, people are more likely to be deficient in yang energy. Lack of yang energy may also cause yang deficiency. The normal survival of human beings needs the support of yang energy, which is the driving force behind the normal operation of the body's material metabolism and physiological functions. The more yang energy there is, the stronger the human body will be. However, the pace of modern life is accelerating, and young people are facing great pressure in life and work, often staying up late, working at the desk, irregular work and rest, lack of exercise, and usually greedy for cold air conditioning or drinking cold drinks. As the elderly get older, the human organs age, and the body functions gradually deteriorate, resulting in a weaker physique, which may lead to a lack of yang energy. Yang qi deficiency regardless of age, gender, or occupation has become one of the common sub-health conditions of people. Sub-health is a nascent state between health and disease. Traditional Chinese medicine says that we should prevent diseases before they occur, and we should correct the bias of our physical state in time to prevent them from happening. Then let's talk about Yang Qi deficiency in detail.
What will the effect of Yang Qi deficiency on the body?
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that yang qi has the functions of biochemistry, xuanhua, and external health. In our lives, we often hear about yang qi deficiency, so what discomfort will yang qi deficiency cause in our human body?
1
. Yang Qi is insufficient, the outside of the guard is unbalanced, and it is susceptible to wind evil
Wind evil has the characteristics of light, divergent, upward, and outward, so it is yang evil. Lack of yang energy, the invasion of wind evil, often easy to hurt the yang parts of the human body (such as the head, face, throat, muscle surface, etc.), so "Su Wen Tai Yin and Yang Ming Theory" said: "Those who are injured by the wind will suffer first. In autumn and winter, those with sufficient yang qi can resist the wind and cold and prevent the invasion of external evils, but those with weak yang qi are not enough to defend the body, so they are prone to recurrence of symptoms such as colds, headaches, and sore throats in their lives.

. Yang Qi is insufficient, lost in warmth, and susceptible to cold and evil
The cold evil has the characteristics of coldness, retraction, and condensation. Yang Qi can control yin and ward off cold and maintain the normal balance of yin and yang in the human body. However, if the yang energy is insufficient, and the body's warmth is not good, the body will not only be unable to drive away the cold normally, but will be easily injured by the cold evil, which will further damage the body's yang energy, resulting in cold, stasis, pain and other discomforts. In life, it is more common in dysmenorrhea, shoulder and back discomfort, vomiting and diarrhea, and clear and long urine.
3Yang Qi is insufficient, the movement is abnormal, and it is susceptible to dampness
Dampness has the characteristics of heavy turbidity and stickiness. If the body's yang energy is insufficient, it cannot transport water and moisture, and normal transpiration will disperse, and the water will accumulate in the body for a long time, and the body will be prone to joint pain, edema and other problems.
Do these few little things well and protect your yang energy
"Su Wen: The Theory of Anger and Anger" says: "Yang Qi, if the sky and the sun, lose their place, then the longevity will not be revealed, so the fortune of heaven should be bright." This shows the importance of yang energy to the human body, which has been deeply recognized since ancient times. As the old saying goes, "God heals the disease." Therefore, before the emergence of sub-health conditions, we should prevent diseases,so what should we do in our lives? 1
. Go to bed early Let the internal organs replace the body substances normally: Generally speaking, the human organs need us to be asleep from 11 o'clock at night in order to better replace the body substances. However, staying up late is the most likely to consume our yang energy, and the body cannot normally replace the substances in the body, so we should work and rest normally, reduce staying up late, go to bed early and get up early. 2
. Warm the spleen Let the power of food warm the spleen and stomach: The spleen is the source of qi and blood biochemistry, and the spleen and yang can reach the muscles and limbs. In "Jin Kui Yaolu: Successive Disease Patterns of Viscera and Meridians", it is said: "The spleen is prosperous in all seasons and is not subject to evil". The kidney yang is the root of the yang qi of the viscera, which can warm the body viscera and body. As the old saying goes: "The yang energy of the five internal organs cannot be developed unless it is done." It can be seen that the spleen and kidney are important to yang qi. Therefore, it is very important for the body to maintain yang qi by properly regulating the spleen, stomach and kidneys.
Don't be greedy for cold and raw tastes in your diet. Raw and cold food is cold, and eating too much raw and cold food is most likely to damage the spleen and yang, hurt the spleen and stomach, and further develop into a state of yang qi deficiency.
In life, you can eat more foods that are good for the spleen and stomach, such as yam, poria cocos, lotus seed meat, etc. Usually eat less raw, cold and greasy food, and avoid overeating or not eating enough, because both will damage the spleen and stomach. Daily health care can massage the acupuncture point of Zusanli. Zusanli is located on the outside of the calf, 3 inches below the calf's nose, and a transverse finger outside the anterior tibial crest.

. Warm the kidneys Let the power of warmth warm the kidneys:To regulate the kidneys, eat more black foods. If you usually want to protect your feet, you can soak your feet or massage the soles of your feet, because your feet are where our acupuncture points are more and more dense. Acupuncture point health care can choose Yongquan acupoint. Yongquan acupoint is one of the commonly used acupuncture points of the Zushaoyin and Kidney Meridians, located at the bottom of the foot, at the depression of the front of the foot when curling the foot, about the intersection of the front 1/3 and the back 2/3 of the line between the 2nd and 3rd metatarsophalangeal seams on the sole of the foot and the heel line.

. Yangyang Let the power of mugwort leaves warm the spine: As the old saying goes: "For yang deficiency diseases, moxibustion is more expensive than needles." The large vertebral point is located on the midline of the back of the human body, in the depression under the spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra, which is the meeting of the Du Pulse and the Three Yang Meridians. The pulse is the sea of the sun, controlling the yang energy of the whole body. Frequent moxibustion of large vertebral points can mobilize the yang energy of the whole body and make the meridians clear; A close look can also help relieve discomfort in the cervical spine and shoulder. Moxibustion, on the other hand, is suitable for daily health care.
5.
Fuyangallows exercise to mobilize the yang energy of the whole body: a reasonable and moderate amount of exercise can not only strengthen the body and prevent illness before it happens, but also encourage the yang energy of the body and get twice the result with half the effort. You can choose Tai Chi for exercise. Tai Chi is a relaxed, gentle, continuous, and even-speed aerobic exercise. Through the coordination of breathing and movement, it can effectively mobilize the body's functions, promote blood flow, improve the body's sub-health state, enhance physical fitness, and enhance the body's yang energy.
For a simpler one, you can choose to tiptoe, not limited by time and place. Frequent tiptoeing can improve blood circulation throughout the body, relax tense nerves, and at the same time boost yang qi.
How to do it: Stand upright, put your heels together, hang your hands on either side of your waist, slowly lift your heels, grasp the ground with your toes, and then drop your weight from your toes to the balls of your forefeet to relax your body. Finally, do a free-fall motion so that your heels lightly hit the ground, causing a slight soft concussion.
