Cold dew

Cold dew | Cold dew does not show your feet, which is the time for nursed back to health.

As soon as the holiday arrives, everyone is happy to eat and drink, and as a result, there are some "holiday sequelae" in the body. It's coming to the solar term of "cold dew". How can we nurse ourselves along this solar term and get rid of the sequelae brought by some holidays?

On the last day of the 11 th holiday, we ushered in the cold dew solar term. The word "cold" in the word "cold dew" means that the weather is getting colder and colder, and the chill in the weather is deepening.

People have different views on the temperature in different places. For example, in the south, the general feeling is still hot in summer, but it turns cold in the morning and evening.

In the north, people's feelings of autumn cold will be more obvious. When we wake up in the morning, we can observe the condensation of morning dew. This shows that the temperature drops suddenly at night, and the water vapor in the air condenses into crystal dew, which hangs on the branches and leaves of flowers and plants.

Speaking of this, friends who care about solar terms may wonder, as if dew does not only appear in cold dew.

That's right. Dew was first discovered in the autumn "Bailu" season. The difference between "white dew" and "cold dew" is that although both are dew, they are affected by cold to different degrees. In the cold dew season, the temperature is much lower than that in the white dew season.

There is a folk saying that the two solar terms are connected by the "dew" in the name, that is, "the white dew does not show the body, and the cold dew does not show the feet." It is emphasized that we should pay attention to keep warm in the deep cold season.

If the cold continues to intensify, dew will condense into frost. The next solar term of "cold dew" is "first frost", which we will talk about in detail next time.

During the cold dew season, the weather gets colder gradually, and even in the south, the temperature will drop at night. Since the old saying emphasizes that "feet are not exposed", wear shoes and socks and try not to catch cold. The following is a recommended maintenance method for soaking feet.

Soaking feet in summer, especially a hot foot, will make many people sweat and feel uncomfortable. But in this cold season, soaking feet will not be so uncomfortable.

Soaking a hot foot before going to bed can not only protect the foot from cold, but also make the whole body blood flow smooth and help sleep.

Especially for those who have too much fun during the holidays, sometimes stay up late to catch a play, and are about to start a new job, I suggest that they soak their feet, and you can also add some ginger and pepper when soaking their feet.

Here are some suggestions for foot baths in the cold dew season:

After the National Day holiday, we will soon enter a busy working state, and female friends should adjust themselves to return to work.

I accumulated a lot of work during the holiday. Once I return to my post, my female friends may be in a state of taking care of children and working overtime. Work pressure, coupled with dry autumn, women are prone to wrinkles.

Cold dew is the solar term in autumn. The main feature of autumn is dryness. The body seems to have lost water and needs to be moistened.

From the first solar term "beginning of autumn" in autumn, we began to advise you to "nourish yin and moisten dryness", and now we continue to maintain this moistening dryness.

This dryness is manifested in the skin, that is, the skin feels dry. It seems that the light water emulsion skin care products used in summer and early autumn are not enough to lock water. Slowly, I will use some cream skin care products to make my skin feel more comfortable. If you are not careful, wrinkles will grow on the corners of your eyes and eyebrows. In dietotherapy, I suggest you eat more foods that nourish yin and moisten dryness, strengthen stomach and promote fluid production.

Nourishing yin and moistening dryness is easy to understand. Autumn is "dry". Why is it invigorating stomach and promoting fluid production? In fact, it is also dealing with "dryness". If you have a good appetite, your body's transport function will be better, and you can produce more body fluids.

For example, if you have more secretions from your mouth and nose, you won't be dry and thirsty. For example, if the skin is hydrated, it is not easy to grow wrinkles.

For example, if there is more body fluid in the stomach, the stool will not be so easy to dry. The general principle of dietotherapy is to make our bodies replenish more water and be less affected by autumn dryness.

Along this line of thinking, I believe you can understand why we emphasize eating less smoked, fried and staying up late this season.

The word "dryness" in autumn is next to the word "fire". The principle of autumn aftercare is to do everything possible to make your body more hydrated to cope with this dryness. And barbecue is to put a real fire in the body and take away the water that is not much.

Generally, after eating barbecue, you will feel dry and cough easily. Staying up late means putting virtual fire on the body, and the body's ability to secrete body fluids will also decrease.

We suggest using moist food to relieve autumn dryness: sesame, walnut, tremella, radish, tomato, lotus root, milk, lily, adenophora, osmanthus, wolfberry and so on.

The following is a diet prescription to relieve autumn dryness and wrinkles.

When we talk about dryness in autumn, it is easy to enter along the respiratory tract from the nose and mouth, take away the moisture in the nose and mouth, make the breath dry, and then make the lungs uncomfortable and cause cough.

However, if we can enhance our own resistance, increase the body's spleen and stomach ability, and enhance the ability to secrete body fluids, the mouth and nose can be nourished by the body fluids secreted by ourselves and relieve autumn dryness.

Here, I'd like to introduce a tonic method of sunbathing instead of eating. The sunshine after the cold dew is especially good. At this time, the sunshine is not "hot poison" in hot summer, but warm as crisp. If people bask in the sun, they can enhance their resistance and it will be very useful.

There is an acupuncture point on our neck, Dazhui, which is an important acupuncture point where the human body's yang meets.

Female friends can tie up their hair, or put the hair around their shoulders and neck aside to show their neck. When walking outside, you can bask in this acupoint more, which will help supplement the yang.

Some people who are usually afraid of cold, cold hands and feet, and often have abdominal pain, diarrhea and irregular stools are particularly suitable. Some people who are prone to colds and coughs are also very suitable for drying this acupoint more. You can also massage this acupoint a lot every day.

Introduce another important acupoint whose back is covered by clothes: Mingmen,

Located under the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebra, a line from the navel surrounds the body, and the intersection of this line and the posterior midline (the intersection of the belt you wear or the belt and the posterior spine) is the Mingmen point. Make a fist lightly with your left or right hand, put the tiger's mouth on Mingmen point, and massage 50-60 times a day. 1 time. Regular massage of this acupoint can also supplement the yang and enhance resistance.
