Do you know all these benefits of acupuncture during the summer solstice?

The temperature rises on the solstice in summer. If you don't pay attention, you will always feel some physical discomfort, such as loss of appetite, chest tightness and poor spirit. Although it affects your life, you won't go to the hospital. At this time, acupuncture is a good choice. Next, let this ancient almanac show you the benefits of acupuncture from the summer solstice. Do you know all these benefits?

The weather is getting hotter and hotter in summer, and people often lose appetite and have low digestion and absorption functions. In addition, there is a lot of rain and heavy humidity, and the invasion of summer-heat and dampness into human body will lead to dysfunction of spleen transport and qi movement, which is often manifested as abdominal distension, loss of appetite, tasteless mouth, stomachache, chest tightness, vomiting, abdominal pain, abdominal distension, loose stool and even edema. The solstice of summer is full of yang, and the yang of human body is floating over. At this time, acupuncture and drug therapy for chronic diseases can better play its therapeutic role, and can effectively strengthen yang and dispel the root causes of cold and winter diseases.

Traditional medicine in China has long recognized the influence of solar term changes on human health. The ancients selectively acupuncture different acupoints according to the "weather" to prevent diseases that are prone to occur this season, so as to preserve health and prolong life. After thousands of years, "sun acupuncture" is a natural and effective method to prevent and treat diseases, which fully embodies the idea of "treating diseases before they occur" in traditional Chinese medicine.

Three Functions of "Solar Term Acupuncture" from Summer to Sun

strengthen body resistance and eliminate disease

Patients suffering from respiratory diseases for a long time, such as physical weakness, allergic rhinitis, asthma, bronchitis and emphysema, are often prone to get sick in winter. This is because these patients usually lack vital qi, and when the temperature is low in winter and the pathogenic factors are strong, the vital qi in the body is not enough to fight against the pathogenic factors and get sick. Therefore, it is suggested that symptoms should be treated mainly in winter and alleviated as much as possible. Summer is a good time to strengthen the body and eliminate evil spirits. At this time, there are few climatic factors affecting the onset, and the symptoms are relatively mild. At this time, strengthening the body resistance can improve the immune ability of the body and penetrate evil spirits better.

Strengthening spleen and regulating stomach

Spleen and stomach are the "acquired foundation" of human body. The digestive function of human body is directly related to the energy supply of human body. Spleen likes dryness and hates dampness, and dampness is the easiest to trap the spleen and affect our digestive function. Nourishing the spleen and stomach in summer can strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, and keep us away from abdominal distension, abdominal pain and diarrhea. In summer, yang is floating outside, overeating and cold can also cause many digestive system problems, such as stomach pain, abdominal pain and diarrhea, so it is particularly important to protect the spleen and stomach in summer.

Helping yang and dispelling cold

In winter, in addition to the high incidence of respiratory diseases, the incidence of another kind of diseases can not be underestimated, that is, yang deficiency syndrome and neck, shoulder, back and leg pain. Just like respiratory diseases, when the winter is cold and intense, people will feel diseases caused by cold pathogens, which cannot be fundamentally eliminated in winter. Only in midsummer, when the human body's yang is sufficient, can we better dispel the cold evil in the body. Acupuncture during the summer solstice is a good way to stimulate menstruation and prevent diseases.
