Artemisia argyi solar terms

Mourning day, drizzle like tears; Pedestrians on the road want to die.

Ask local people where to buy wine? The shepherd boy just laughed and didn't answer Xingshan Village.

Du Mu's Tomb-Sweeping Day should be the most familiar poem about Tomb-Sweeping Day. But do you know the origin and health care of Tomb-Sweeping Day?

Qingming comes from Qingming: the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the ground is high and the clouds are light. "The bucket refers to Qingming, everything is clean and clear, and when it is covered, it is clear and clear, and everything is neat, hence the name.

Qingming is a special solar term among the 24 solar terms, because it is both a solar term and a traditional festival of the Chinese nation. "Twenty-four solar terms": "On the March Festival, this wind will fail, and everything will fail. At this time, everything is clean and clear. "

First, the impact of solar terms on the human body

Qingming represents the meaning of heaven and earth in solar terms. Among the 24 solar terms, only Qingming is both a solar term and a festival. Neijing points out that human viscera and qi and blood will rise and fall periodically with the change of solar terms, such as high temperature in spring, hot summer, long wet summer, cool autumn and cold winter. It reflects that people are related to heaven and earth, and different solar terms will produce different visceral diseases.

Modern medical research has proved that many physiological functions of human body have annual rhythm, monthly rhythm and daily rhythm, such as human immune function. It was observed that the total number of peripheral blood lymphocytes was the highest in July and September, the lowest in June was 5438+0.25 months, the lowest in July and September, and the highest in March 12.

The rainy season in Tomb-Sweeping Day is characterized by alternating cold and warm. The weather is changeable repeatedly, while the house and clothes are wet, in fact, the humidity in the human body is easy to exceed the standard, especially for women, which needs special attention.

People often say that women are made of water. Among the five internal organs, the spleen and stomach control water. Excessive moisture will affect the function of the spleen and stomach, resulting in dampness in the human body, thick and greasy tongue coating, dull complexion, heavy limbs and other symptoms. In addition, there will be fever, slight fear of cold, runny nose and other manifestations, so eliminating dampness and strengthening the spleen is the key to health in spring.

It rains in succession during the Qingming Festival, which is the first major feature of this solar term.

Because it is rainy, it is easy to alternate cold and warm, cold and hot. Simply put, the weather is easy to be abnormal and the temperature is easy to be repeated, which is a test of human resistance.

"Thousands of cold is easy to remove, but wet cold is hard to go. Wet and sticky, such as oil entering the surface. " The combination of dampness and cold is called cold dampness, heat is called damp heat, wind is called rheumatism, and summer is called summer dampness. If the pathogenic dampness persists, taking more tonics and medicines is like scratching your boots, which won't work.

Many people suffer from fatty liver, asthma, hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which are actually related to dampness and phlegm.

Tomb-Sweeping Day, the earth gradually clears up the air, which is also a rare opportunity for the human body's yang to rise. At this time, the liver qi in the body gradually deepened with the spring and reached its peak at Qingming. In the spring around Tomb-Sweeping Day, people with hyperactivity of liver yang are particularly prone to headache and dizziness, and chronic tracheitis is also prone to attack in the spring, which is what Chinese medicine says, "all diseases of spring are at the head".

Second, Qingming moxibustion makes the body more awake.

The Qingming situation is complicated, and moxibustion has become the first choice for many people. During the Qingming period, the yang has reached a new height.

From the solstice of winter to the sunrise of the sun, it took 104 days to reach Qingming (the ancients called 104 as "the number of bases"), regardless of the yang between heaven and earth or the yang in the human body, it is in a state of full preparation and ready to go!

At this time, moxibustion, with the help of a natural law, can nourish the body to regulate diseases, nourish yin and yang, get twice the result with half the effort, and make people clear and free from miscellaneous diseases.

Moxibustion on acupoints is mainly to eliminate dampness and help yang;

Lishi: Pishu, Fenglong, Yinlingquan, Gongsun, Shuishui and other points;

Benefiting Yang: Dazhui, Mingmen, Zhongwan, Zusanli, Yongquan and other points,

People who feel wet can focus on the first few acupoints, while those with yang deficiency focus on the last few acupoints to discharge the wet dirty inside.

It should be noted that Qingming can't supplement the liver with diet, so as not to add fuel to the liver fire. The moxibustion points recommended by the article also go in the direction of soothing the liver, so don't worry.

Moxibustion method: moxibustion box or moxa sticks are hung on limbs for 20-25 minutes, and on back, chest and abdomen for 30-40 minutes. Specific to their own feelings, feel comfortable, no abnormal reaction after moxibustion, can be appropriately extended, step by step, specific to not get angry as a basis for judgment.

Third, many mugwort leaves soaked their feet during the Qingming period.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the soles of the feet are rich in meridians, and the meridians of the liver, spleen, kidney and corresponding viscera all follow this. When the cold pathogen invades and spreads along the meridians, and the lung loses its expression, it is easy to feel exogenous diseases.

However, Folium Artemisiae Argyi is warm, belonging to the liver, spleen and kidney meridians, which can warm and disperse cold pathogens and disperse lung qi, so it has a positive effect on the prevention of colds in children. Parents can boil mugwort water to soak their children's feet when Tomb-Sweeping Day is angry, and the effect is obvious:

1, improve physical fitness

Folium Artemisiae Argyi has the effect of warming meridians, dispelling cold and eliminating dampness. Children with cold constitution can get rid of the cold in their bodies by soaking their feet with mugwort leaves. The humidity in the south is getting bigger and bigger. "Wet" is the key to cause and aggravate diseases. Eliminating dampness and expelling cold will gradually improve children's physique.

Step 2 prevent colds

Many colds are caused by cold in the body. Soaking feet with Folium Artemisiae Argyi can dispel cold on the one hand, and promote blood circulation on the other, so as to dredge channels and collaterals, relieve fatigue, reduce the chance of invasion of exogenous pathogens, and thus achieve the purpose of preventing colds.

Fourth, what is good for Qingming?

Have a light diet and eat less hair. At this time, chronic diseases such as asthma and pneumonia are prone to occur. The so-called "hair" refers to the products that wind produces phlegm, sends poison to help fire and evil spirits, so we should eat less mutton, dog meat, shrimp, chicken and other foods.

The diet should also be light, and it is advisable to eat japonica rice, sesame, yam, sweet potato, Chinese cabbage, radish, taro, etc., which can digest the dampness in the stomach, benefit the five internal organs, promote blood circulation, strengthen the spleen and replenish the lungs.

Tomb-Sweeping Day is also called "Cold Food Festival". In terms of diet during the Qingming period, some places still maintain the habit of banning fire and eating cold food during the Qingming period. But people with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold are not suitable for eating cold food.

Five, Qingming outing, beneficial to the body and mind

It is easy to get sleepy in spring, and proper sleep can eliminate fatigue and be beneficial to health. Generally speaking, it is enough for adults to sleep 7-8 hours a day in spring.

During the Qingming period, the human skin is stretched, and the air inside and outside is clear, so it is appropriate to do more outdoor sports. But it's hot and cold in Tomb-Sweeping Day, so it's important to keep warm.
