Sweat a lot to replenish qi, no sweat to nourish blood!

In summer, sweating in hot weather is inevitable, but there are two types of people who are a little different, one is that we usually sweat at every turn, and the other is that everyone is hot and sweaty, but he doesn't seem to be sweating.

These two types of people often feel that summer is more difficult, because they sweat too much, their bodies will feel weak, sweat too little, and the moisture and toxins in the body cannot be eliminated in time.

However, this kind of discomfort does not seem to be able to detect any problems in Western medical examinations, but Chinese medicine can reveal the mystery in one sentence: if the health qi is deficient, there is sweating, and if the blood is deficient, there is no sweating. This is a sentence in the "Medical Statement" written by the Qing Dynasty medical scientist Cheng Wenyu, if you belong to the above two types of people, then you have to "sit down" to see how you should deal with it.

Xu Dacheng, deputy chief physician of the Department of Preventive Treatment of Nanjing Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, said, "If you are deficient in health qi, you will sweat a lot, and if you are deficient in blood, you will not sweat." This sentence embodies the main evidence of distinguishing between the deficiency of qi and the deficiency of blood.

If you are deficient, you will sweat a lot

Wei Qi belongs to the yang outside the veins, like a guard guarding our body surface, with the function of guarding the outside of the solid surface, so our Wei Qi deficiency will lead to "guard surface failure", the skin without the protection of this guard will open the door, and the fluid in our body will be easy to leak out, so there will be excessive sweating.

What's more, TCM believes that "qi is removed with sweat", and the more we sweat, the more we lose our guard qi, which is a bad cycle.

Therefore, many people sweat more and hydrate, but the symptom is not the root cause, the reason is that this is not a lack of water, but a deficiency of qi.

If the camp is deficient, there is no sweat

The camp blood belongs to yin, and there is fluid in it, and the camp blood is deficient in our body, and the fluid in our body is also insufficient. There is a lack of this source, so there will be no sweating symptoms.

Knowing this truth, we can easily understand why people who sweat a lot due to weak health qi should "replenish qi", that is, the treatment mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine is mainly to replenish qi and strengthen the surface. The lack of sweat caused by the weakness of the camp blood should be nourished by nourishing the blood to nourish its source.

So, how to replenish qi when there is a lot of qi deficiency and sweat in summer? How to nourish blood without sweat? You can consult a TCM physician and try the following two dietary remedies under the guidance of a physician with experience in dietary therapy:

1

.

Those who do not sweat - four red blood tonic porridge

12 red dates, 30 grams of wolfberry, 50 grams of blood glutinous rice, 30 grams of brown sugar. Wash the red dates, wolfberries, and blood glutinous rice, put them in a porcelain jar and add water, boil them over a strong fire first, and then simmer the porridge instead, add brown sugar when the porridge is made, and mix thoroughly. 1 dose daily, divided in the morning and evening. It has the effect of nourishing the liver and blood, nourishing the kidney and strengthening the essence, and enriching the skin and moisturizing the skin.

Qi deficiency and sweat a lot - Jiaoqi jujube soup

9 grams of ejiao, 18 grams of astragalus, 10 jujubes. First fry astragalus and jujubes in water, boil the water for 1 hour, take the soup, add ejiao into the decoction to dissolve, and take the soup. 1 dose daily. Ejiao nourishes blood and nourishes the skin, and astragalus and jujube replenish qi and generate blood, and can be used together to replenish qi and nourish blood. Those with severe qi deficiency can appropriately increase the dosage of astragalus under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, and those with heavy blood deficiency can appropriately increase the dosage of ejiao and jujube.

If the symptoms of qi deficiency and blood deficiency are more severe, you should go to the hospital in time to find a Chinese medicine practitioner to recuperate, and if necessary, you can take some clear ointments and medicinal diets.
