What are the solar terms in Yangsheng?

June 2 1, 1 1: 32, ushered in the summer solstice solar term.

On the solstice in summer, the day is the longest and the night is the shortest.

According to the theory of correspondence between man and nature in traditional Chinese medicine, summer is also the season when the human body has the highest yang. At this time, the temperature rises, accompanied by heavy rain and plum rain, and the humidity increases, forming a high temperature and high humidity climate. At this time, it is easy to induce heatstroke, eczema, dysentery and other diseases. So pay more attention to health care.

This summer is a good time to raise yang.

Summer is the most sunny season of the year. At this time, qi and blood flow out, pores open and yang overflows. Excessive consumption will make the yang in the human body in a state of internal deficiency.

Summer health care should pay attention to protecting the yang, and eat more warm foods, such as chicken soup. When making, angelica sinensis and jujube can be properly added, and the isothermal seasoning of ginger and pepper can be used to replenish qi and blood and warm yang.

The chance to cure winter disease in summer

It is getting hotter and hotter in summer, and people often lose appetite and have low digestion and absorption functions. In addition, there is plenty of rain and moisture, and the evil of summer-heat and dampness invades the human body, which will lead to dysfunction of spleen transport and qi movement, which is manifested as abdominal distension, loss of appetite, pale 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 floats up. At this time, acupuncture and drug therapy for chronic diseases can better play its therapeutic role, and can effectively support yang and dispel cold and winter diseases.

Winter disease refers to diseases that are easy to attack or aggravate in cold winter. People suffering from "winter disease" are mostly yang-deficient, and have the same characteristics: they belong to "cold syndrome" and "deficiency syndrome". Summer is the time when the yang is strong in a year, and it is also the time when people are easy to drink cold and consume cold and hurt yang. We should apply drugs on the relevant acupoints of the human body to help the yang, enhance the function of defending against the outside world, improve the body's ability to prevent and resist diseases, and reduce the recurrence of some diseases caused by insufficient yang in winter and autumn. Its mechanism is to take advantage of the favorable opportunity of high summer temperature and abundant human yang to adjust the balance of yin and yang, thus greatly reducing the incidence of winter diseases and slowing down symptoms, which is called "summer treatment". According to the doctor, the acupoint application therapy of "treating winter diseases in summer" is based on the principle of "nourishing yang in spring and summer, nourishing yin in autumn and winter", so that the yang of human body can be assisted by yang, and the yang of drugs can be dredged, so as to warm yang and replenish qi, drive away cold pathogens, enhance the yang and immunity of human body, and achieve the purpose of treatment and health preservation.

It is suitable for acupuncture from summer to the next 15 days.

Traditional medicine in China has long recognized the influence of solar term changes on human health. According to the weather conditions, the ancients selectively acupuncture different points to prevent diseases that are prone to occur this season, so as to preserve health and prolong life. After thousands of years, "temple" is a natural and effective method to prevent and treat diseases, which fully embodies the idea of "preventing diseases" in traditional Chinese medicine. 15 The solstice after long summer is very suitable for acupuncture to treat the summer solstice solar terms.

Nourishing the heart to health care in summer

Zhouyi holds that summer belongs to fire, corresponding to the heart of the five internal organs. Therefore, it is important to cultivate the heart from summer to the future.

As the saying goes, "peace of mind is naturally cool", we should be good at adjustment, sit still more, and eliminate distractions in our hearts.

Eat a light diet and eat more bitterness.

After the summer solstice, the diet should aim at clearing away heat and relieving summer heat and stimulating appetite, so eat more bitter food to make up for it.

Summer is hot, people's digestive function is weak, and the diet should be light. You can choose some foods that nourish yin, such as mushrooms, tremella, coix seed, duck meat, crucian carp and so on.
