Cold water in solar terms

Chinese medicine advocates "eighteen pots of summer heat, not showing for a thousand years." During the period between the hot summer and the Millennium, the temperature is high and the summer heat has not completely faded. Everyone can take a cold bath or enjoy the cool with bare arms. After the Millennium, the summer heat has basically subsided, and the weather has turned cold, so it is not appropriate to take a cold bath. In addition, you should also put on clothes and don't expose your body.

The Millennium solar terms do not reveal the "two places" to prevent cold!

First place, navel

Never reveal the "two places" for thousands of years to prevent colds. Doing two things well can prevent autumn dryness and lung fire!

Because the navel has the thinnest epidermis, there is no fat under the skin, but it is rich in nerve endings and nerve plexus, which is sensitive to external stimuli.

When you sleep at night, you should cover yourself with a quilt. Cold is heavy. If the abdomen is exposed, it is easy to enter the body through the navel. During the day, even if the weather is hot, it is not recommended to wear a navel dress. Exogenous pathogens easily invade the body. If the cold goes straight to the stomach, there will be acute abdominal pain, diarrhea and vomiting. Over time, cold gradually accumulates in the lower abdomen, which will also lead to diseases of the urogenital system.

The second place, the foot

Never reveal the "two places" for thousands of years to prevent colds. Doing two things well can prevent autumn dryness and lung fire!

As the saying goes, "cold starts from the feet and heat dissipates from the head." There are six important veins in the human body, and the foot is far from the heart, and the blood circulation is the least smooth. Studies have confirmed that cold feet are the chief culprit of colds, bronchitis, indigestion, insomnia and other diseases. Therefore, the Millennium should pay attention to the warmth of the feet, and the shoes and socks should be loose, comfortable and sweat-absorbent. You can soak your feet in warm water at night. Don't let the water pass through your ankles 15~30 minutes. It's best to soak your body a little.

Therefore, in the Millennium solar term, we must pay attention to the above two points.
