The doctor tells you: Why is it freezing in spring and autumn?

An important solar term in the Millennium at the turn of summer and autumn. The previous summer solar term means the end of summer, and the subsequent autumnal equinox means that day and night are equally divided, and autumn is getting stronger. There is a folk saying that "eighteen pots of summer heat will not show up for a thousand years." You can also take a bath with a big basin of water every day in summer. After the Millennium, you will reduce the chances of naked running. We say that a person's body can keep healthy if it can better adapt to the changes in the natural environment. In summer, Yang is outward and upward, but in autumn, Yang will begin to converge inward and downward. This Millennium is an important turning point to start this introversion and downward trend.

Why should spring cover and autumn freeze?

People often say that "spring covers autumn", but the Millennium solar terms can't be shirtless. What should we do? In fact, the two are not contradictory. Autumn freezing helps the yang to converge. Cold things in nature are easier to go down, and hot and warm things go up. In autumn, in order to make the yang fall down and gather in the body better, we should make use of the cold of nature. So don't wear too much at this time, you can only slowly increase the amount of clothes. Otherwise, if the yang is not collected well, it will be easy to get sick throughout autumn and winter.

In fact, there is no contradiction between autumn freezing and the Millennium solar terms, and both need to protect some important parts of the body, including the back neck, abdomen, elbows, knees and feet. In other words, it is necessary to protect these parts to prevent you from overheating in the Millennium. Therefore, "thin clothes to keep out the cold" is a good choice.

In particular, children who are prone to colds, fever, cough and other upper respiratory symptoms are what ordinary people call "susceptible children." These children usually have insufficient lung qi and limited physical resistance, and are more vulnerable to external evils than ordinary children. In the Millennium, it should be more:

Wear some thin autumn trousers, thin socks, etc. Cover elbows, knees, ankles and other joints without making children feel hot;

Pay attention to keep your abdomen warm when you sleep, but don't cover it too much;

You should try to avoid catching cold at the back of your child's neck, and you can always keep some thin vests that can cover these parts.
