Children's solar massage Bailu

The Millennium is the fifteenth of the twenty-four solar terms.

"Twenty-four solar terms" said: "In August, the yin is getting heavier and heavier, and the white inside is transparent."

The Millennium is a time when Yin Qi is coming and the coolness is getting stronger. When it turns from hot to cold, it is also the easiest time to get sick.

In ancient China, the Millennium was divided into three periods: "First, when the geese came; Second, wait for the mysterious bird to return; Three waiting birds raise shame. "

White deer health care pays attention to two points.

The cool autumn wind blows all over China from north to south. Bai Luzhi, what should we pay attention to?

Spleen and dryness are good.

Millennium is the solar term with the largest temperature difference between day and night in a year. At this time, the autumn wind cools down and dries the moisture in the air. People are prone to dry mouth, dry lips, dry throat, dry skin and other symptoms, which is a typical "autumn dryness."

Therefore, we should pay more attention to strengthening the spleen and moistening dryness in diet. It coincides with autumn, and there are many kinds of fruits and vegetables on the market.

Among them, lotus root, water chestnut, autumn pear, apple, chestnut, lily, tremella, yam and pomegranate are all very good choices.

But be careful not to eat too much and support too much, so as not to cause gastrointestinal stagnation.

Never show up in the Millennium.

As the saying goes, "The White Dew doesn't show", that is to say, once the White Dew arrives, you can't go shirtless when you wear clothes.

Due to the large temperature difference between morning and evening after the Millennium, it is not only easy to catch a cold, but also easy for patients with chronic diseases such as bronchitis, asthma and peptic ulcer to relapse or aggravate.

For people with insufficient spleen and stomach, it is easier to damage the spleen and stomach yang if they are gluttonous and cold or improperly protected at this time.

Therefore, clothes should be added in time in the morning and evening to keep warm, especially for children, the elderly and weak patients.

Protect the four spirits and get sick less in autumn and winter.

Protect "lung qi"

In autumn, everything converges.

The lungs should be full of qi, autumn air passes through the lungs, the lungs are the sea of qi, and qi is the foundation of people.

The lungs are directly connected to the nose and mouth. When a cold comes, the lungs are often the first to fall down.

Dryness dominates autumn, which is easy to hurt the lungs. If you hurt your vitality, you will easily get lung disease when winter comes.

Therefore, after the Millennium, we must pay attention to maintaining the health of the lungs, moistening the lungs and replenishing the lungs.

Countermeasures: drinking tea+massage

Moistening the lungs, liking moistening dryness and hating dryness, and drinking more tea are the simplest and most effective ways to fight autumn dryness.

Using some small plants that nourish and moisten the lungs, combined with soaking in water, is of great benefit to lung health.

Mixing dandelion, platycodon grandiflorum, chicory and Polygonatum odoratum, and soaking in water. After drinking tea, combined with acupoint massage, the effect is doubled.

Zhongwan point is the place where qi and blood are directly injected through the lung meridian, which can best regulate qi and replenish lung qi.

Press this point clockwise every day, and then press this point counterclockwise for 1 ~ 3 minutes each time.

The lungs are full of pulses, and the pulses will be too deep. Regular massage can replenish lung qi and promote the return of lung qi in meridians to supplement the deficiency of lung.

Protect "kidney qi"

After the white dew, the weather turns cold, so we must protect and nourish the kidney.

Cold corresponds to the kidney, and the yang of the kidney is the easiest to lose. When the yang of the kidney is injured, people are prone to get sick.

Many people are weak in autumn, mostly because of deficiency of kidney qi. Therefore, protect kidney qi in the Millennium season.

Countermeasure: soak your feet in hot water

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney originates from spring and warms and tonifies the kidney.

Soaking your feet with hot water can protect your feet from heat and help nourish your kidneys. Soak your feet thoroughly. Soak your feet until you sweat slightly.

Soak your feet in water and add some ginger, cinnamon and pepper. Warming kidney to help yang has better effect. After soaking feet, you can press Yongquan point on the sole of your foot to replenish kidney qi, and the effect is doubled.

Protect "temper"

Spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow, and Chinese medicine regards it as the foundation of life.

"Spleen and Stomach Theory" said: "Spleen governs summer, and Taiyin Yangming is the main treatment ... The disease is in the spleen. The more autumn it is, the more it will not heal. The more spring it is, the spring will not die. Stick to summer and start a long summer. 」

Therefore, we must pay attention to protect our temper after the Millennium, so as not to damage the spleen and stomach and endanger our health.

Countermeasure: Eat porridge often.

Porridge is gastrointestinal compatible. Porridge can nourish yin, promote the growth of gastric juice, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and make up deficiency, which is most suitable for nourishing people.

Yang Can, which protects the body, lays a good foundation for cold protection in autumn and winter, improves its disease resistance and makes it less sick in autumn and winter.

Countermeasure: Get more sunshine.

Sunbathing is a simple and effective way to supplement Yang Qi.

This head, all Yang's heads, is the place where all converge. The essence and blood of the five zang-organs and the qi of clearing yang in the six fu-organs all converge on the head.

Frequent contact with Baihui point on the top of the head can invigorate the yang, make people full of energy and eliminate fatigue.
