White dew festival medicated bath

Autumn harvest and winter storage originally said that the planting and collection of crops should conform to the four seasons.

Autumn is the harvest season of crops, and fruits are stored in winter for a year's needs, so "spring ploughing Xia Geng" is used to refer to a year's farming. Historical records. Taishi Gongxu: "The husband is born in spring and grows in summer, and the autumn harvest lasts in winter. This is also a great classic of Heaven. " Huai Nan Zi. Main skill training: "Spring grows in summer and autumn harvests in winter." Ming. Anonymous's "Three Flowers in Handan" got a 10% discount: "This field is fertile, plowing Xia Geng in spring, harvesting in autumn and storing in winter, and there is no worry about hunger and cold. Why are you unhappy? " Also known as "autumn harvest and winter storage". Hanshu Shangshu. "Grain IV": "Spring ploughing, Xia Geng, autumn harvest, winter storage, firewood cutting, official camp, corvee ... rest at four o'clock."

Cold dew solar terms, although we are not cold in the south, but the northeast and northwest regions have already felt the cold when winter is coming. As the saying goes, "an autumn rain and a cold", cold and heat alternate in autumn, and the temperature gradually drops. There is a saying in Guangdong: "Cold dew spans three dynasties, and you have to find a bridge after crossing the water", which means that the weather is getting cold, so you can't wade across the river barefoot like summer, nor can you go to the fields like summer. After cold dew, the human body will feel dry. Under such climatic conditions, if you don't pay attention to health care, it is easy to get sick or relapse.

What exactly is the "autumn harvest and winter storage" mentioned by Chinese medicine? Why "receive"? How to "collect"?

Autumn harvest and winter storage, as the name implies, are used to describe the process of ancient agricultural production. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine theory, autumn harvest refers to the gathering of vitality, yang, water and activities of all things in autumn, which brings together the human body and the yang exposed in spring and summer, and then transforms it into the essence of qi, storing energy essence and righteousness to counter the evil spirits at ordinary times or after spring; Winter storage means that all living things hibernate in winter when the yang is closed, the essence is closed, the vitality is closed, and the activity is reduced or stopped, so as to reduce some consumption in the body and pay attention to maintenance.

We can explain it from the following aspects. On the one hand, be careful about your life, work and rest on time, and the cold temperature is suitable. "One autumn rain and one cold", you need to pay attention to cold and warmth. If you are not careful, you will be easily attacked by cold, causing colds and unfavorable joints. On the other hand, it is a frugal diet, balanced and comprehensive. Because autumn is a relatively dry season, it can be wet.

Be moist in autumn, not just drink sugar water. Cantonese people like to make soup, so some food supplements that moisten the lungs and dryness are quite good, such as honey water, white fungus and almond stewed papaya, Sydney tremella soup, lily red date and ginkgo soup, Shashen Yuzhu old duck soup, lotus seed and lily lean meat. Therefore, the principle of autumn tonic should be nourishing yin, moistening dryness and nourishing lungs, going to bed early and getting up early.

After "white dew", it is the season of "cold dew". Compared with the white dew, the cold light of the cold dew literally goes further, but the difference is that the white dew is "getting colder" and the cold dew is "feeling cold". After the cold dew, the dew increases and the temperature decreases.

For people who are not so afraid of the cold, soaking their feet can also relieve fatigue.

Foot bath health care therapy can be divided into two types, namely, ordinary hot water foot bath therapy and pedicure medicine bath therapy. Ordinary hot water foot bath therapy is simply a hot water bubble, which stimulates various acupoints of the foot through the warm and mechanical action of water, promotes the circulation of qi and blood, dredges meridians, improves metabolism, and then plays the role of disease prevention and self-care.

Why autumn and winter are suitable for tonic: and it is the best time for Ejiao cake tonic?

Because the yang in the human body is strong during the winter solstice, it is easiest to absorb foreign nutrition and play its nourishing role, so it is most appropriate to supplement it around the winter solstice.

People with yang deficiency can choose a proper amount of beef, mutton and dog meat to nourish the viscera, and eat more products such as walnuts, taro, medlar, sea cucumber, sheep kidney, Alpinia oxyphylla and Eucommia ulmoides. , can also cooperate with medicated diet tonic.

Why autumn and winter is the best time for Ejiao cake tonic;

When winter comes, all kinds of tonic ingredients are dazzling, and many people will choose to eat Ejiao cake for tonic.

Ejiao is a kind of rubber block made by soaking and unhairing the skin of Equus donkey. It was named after it was produced in ancient Dong 'a. Has the effects of enriching blood, stopping bleeding, nourishing yin and moistening lung. It is a good tonic for blood, and is often used for blood deficiency. For the convenience of eating, Ejiao is often boiled into Ejiao cake, and accessories such as yellow wine, brown sugar, red dates, honey, walnuts and black sesame seeds are usually added, on the one hand to improve the taste of Ejiao cake, and on the other hand to strengthen the warming effect of Ejiao cake.

With the increasing recognition of Ejiao cake by the public, people are no longer satisfied with the same ingredients of Ejiao cake, but begin to pursue personalized customization, hoping to make Ejiao cake that is more suitable for them. Then let's take a look at several traditional Chinese medicines most often added to Ejiao cake.

1. Lycium barbarum

Lycium barbarum can be said to be the most famous Chinese medicine in recent years, and its popularity is even much higher than that of Sanqi in that year. Lycium barbarum, as a traditional Chinese medicine, has the main functions of nourishing liver and kidney yin, improving eyesight and moistening lung. As a commonly used yin-nourishing drug, it is mainly suitable for yin deficiency of liver and kidney, dizziness, soreness of waist and knees, nocturnal emission and thirst. Add it to Ejiao cake and take it together, mainly to nourish the yin of liver and kidney, so friends with the above symptoms can consider adding a certain amount of medlar when making Ejiao cake.

2. American ginseng

Besides ginseng, American ginseng is popular among ginseng, as well as Codonopsis pilosula and Radix Pseudostellariae. Why is American ginseng so popular in the participating classes? That's because Chinese medicine pays attention to four qi and five flavors, and most ginseng tastes sweet, warm or flat, while American ginseng tastes bitter, slightly sweet and cold, so American ginseng, which can not only replenish qi and nourish yin, but also clear fire and produce fluid, is very valuable. If you have symptoms of yin deficiency and excessive fire, deficiency of both qi and yin, or lack of body fluid and dry mouth and throat, it is very appropriate to add American ginseng when cooking Ejiao. In addition, besides ginseng, there are astragalus, yam, lentils and so on. , more suitable for spleen deficiency and dampness.

rose

Rose refers to the bud of Rosaceae rose, which is usually dried quickly with slow fire and used as medicine, belonging to the liver and spleen meridian. It has the effects of promoting qi circulation, relieving depression and removing blood stasis, and is mainly used for epigastric pain caused by disharmony between liver and stomach, irregular menstruation and premenstrual breast pain. Therefore, people with qi stagnation and blood stasis and disharmony between liver and stomach can add roses to Ejiao cake.

Another thing to be reminded here is that not all people are suitable for eating Ejiao cake, and patients with gastrointestinal diseases and fibroids are not suitable for eating Ejiao cake.

Diabetic patients can customize sugar-free Ejiao cakes.
