Spring is coming, always afraid of cold, coughing, sneezing?
Wind is the main qi of spring, easy to invade the human body, a little careless, it is easy to feel the wind cold, chills, cough, runny nose, sneezing and other symptoms.
Spring is the main order of the wind, and the wind changes several times, and it is easy to invade the human body. Our lungs are the source of the organs, communicating with the outside world, and when we encounter the invasion of wind evil, the wind evil attacks the lungs, and it becomes a spring external symptom.
In spring, when the temperature has just warmed up and everything is rising, the tendons are gradually opening up, and "the face of a child in spring changes three times a day".
Can you distinguish the wind heat and wind chill from the wind chill in spring?
Colds are common external diseases caused by the evil spirits and evil spirits, and are mostly characterized by occlusion, runny nose, sneezing, cough, headache, chills, fever, general malaise, and pulse floating.
Wind is the long of all diseases, and often causes disease together with other evils, the main wind in spring, so the external sense of spring is dominated by wind, which is generally divided into two types: wind cold and wind heat. At the beginning of spring, because the cold of winter has not completely faded, the wind evil is easy to hurt people together with the residual cold evil; At the turn of spring and summer, the summer heat gradually rises, and the combination of wind evil and heat causes disease. It is necessary to separate the two symptoms and treat them dialectically.
The human body is a whole, with its own response mechanism, and when it encounters the invasion of external evils, it will pass through some parts of the body to remove evil qi from the body surface or body. These small signs, which we call clinical manifestations, help us distinguish whether we are infected with wind heat or wind cold.
Manifestations of body fluids (sweat, saliva, nasal discharge): poor sweating, dry throat with little saliva, coughing up yellow or sticky sputum; Nasal congestion, yellow and turbid discharge, taste always want to drink water, etc., which are hot; No sweating, no thirst or desire to drink warm water, runny nose, phlegm and saliva are mostly cold;
Tongue coating and pulse manifestations: the tongue coating is thin and white and yellowish, or the tongue surface is dry, cracked, yellow or greasy, and the pulse float is hot; The tongue coating is thin and white and moist, and the veins are floating or tight, mostly cold;
Manifestations of urine and urine: yellow urine, urgency, dry stool or sheep feces-like, difficulty in defecation, anal heat, etc.; Diarrhea, watery stool, or foamy stool, clear and long urine, etc., belong to cold;
Other manifestations: bad wind, fear of wind, head swelling and pain, cough, sore throat or hoarseness, dry mouth and nose to heat; Cold, fear of cold, slight head heaviness, re-passage, body aches and pains for cold.
Those with weak physique and yang qi: those with weak yang qi will naturally be relatively deficient in health qi. We say that the guardian is "the one who guards the qi, who guards the body for the sake of words...... Do not let external evil invade also", Weiyang weak, the defense function decreases, the tendon function can not be regulated, and it is more susceptible to the invasion of wind evil in spring; In addition, the function of warmth decreases, and the effect of warming and yang on the whole body will be weakened, and in the spring, the cold evil is easy to hurt the yang qi, making Weiyang weaker and making it easier to feel cold and evil in early spring.
Fluid insufficiency: Fluid is the basic substance that constitutes the human body and is the basic substance that maintains the life activities of the human body. The fluid runs around the body, carrying health qi and various nutrients. If the generation of jin liquid is insufficient, then the number of defensive forces of the Wei Qi carried will be reduced, and the ability to resist external evil will be relatively weakened, which will eventually lead to the invasion of external evil. In spring, the temperature rises suddenly, sweating suddenly increases, aggravating the lack of fluid, resulting in a relative decrease in the luck and health qi contained in the fluid, and the human body is susceptible to the invasion of external winds and infected with the evil qi of wind cold or wind heat.
