Rainwater Rainwater is the second solar term in a year. As the old saying goes, "Spring rain is as expensive as oil, and it moistens things silently." The rain solar term symbolizes the beginning of a year's rain. Starting from the solar term of rain, we will slowly see the rain fall in Mao Mao, everything is nourished by rain, and many trees begin to sprout new buds.

It's time to rain and nourish your lungs, but don't think it's spring season, and don't be too eager to put away your winter clothes. Once a cold enters your body, it will do harm to your health. Rain is the most vulnerable season to cold, so we must pay attention to cold and warmth.

Cold invades the body through the skin and pores. The defense ability of skin pores determines the strength of a person's physique, and the skin is managed by the lungs in the five internal organs. So Chinese medicine says, "Lung governs fur." If you want to strengthen your physique, improve your immunity and avoid catching a cold, you must raise the qi and blood of your lungs, so that your skin can have a good protective ability and people will not catch a cold easily, so you must pay attention to maintaining your lungs.

The state of the lungs determines a person's basic physique. How to judge whether your lung function is good or not? Let's do a simple little test, which can quickly detect the state of lung function. First, put your thumb out and press it with the belly of your other hand. Press it to see if the muscles in the thumb belly rebound quickly. Explain that lung function is good. If the thumb is pressed slowly, it means that the lung function is relatively insufficient and the basic constitution is a bit weak. We must pay attention to maintaining the lung meridian at ordinary times.

Tap Yunmen point to maintain lung meridian. Chinese medicine believes that lung meridian is very important. Lung meridian is the first and the beginning of the twelve meridians. Let's learn about the maintenance of lung meridian together.

First of all, we must understand the distribution route of lung meridian in the body. Open your hand, and the lung meridian runs from the chest, that is, the position of the anterior fossa of the shoulder, along the inner side of the arm and down to the root outside the nail. To find the lung meridian, first find Yunmen point. You may not be sure about the location of the anterior shoulder fossa, but it doesn't matter. Just find your anterior fossa and pat it gently with your palm. Start with the left shoulder socket, and then pat the right shoulder socket 200 times on each side.

Knocking on Yunmen point in the morning can start the lung meridian, the lung governs the fur, the lung is full of qi and blood, and the fur opening and closing function is coordinated, thus defending against cold. Playing 200 times per side in the morning is a homework that must be done to enhance physical fitness.

Pat three nests, and toxins in different parts will bring different visceral problems. Now I'll teach you a secret of detoxification, which is to eliminate toxins by finding the position of the body nest. This method is simple and effective.

Chinese medicine believes that the human body's nests are places where meridians gather, that is, places where toxins are easy to gather. Beating these nests often can dredge meridians, eliminate toxins in the body, and promote blood circulation to remove blood stasis. What are these nests? First, the cubital fossa, then the axillary fossa and the posterior fossa of the knee (behind the knee), these three nests are the central points of human toxins and the detoxification points.

In the rain solar term, the function of lung meridian is enhanced and detoxification in the body is promoted by tapping the position of elbow fossa, that is, the position where lung meridian passes. This method is a commonly used detoxification method in traditional Chinese medicine, and it is called scraping method, because if you pat the skin continuously, you will get some scraping spots, like red spots after scraping, which is normal.

It only takes 10 minutes to pat the elbow fossa every week, and the toxin in the lung meridian can be eliminated, so it is not necessary to pat it every day. When the acupoints are struck, the toxins in the internal meridians will be released outward and partially discharged, and then a cup of warm water will be drunk within half an hour to accelerate blood circulation and detoxification in the body. After slapping for two or three times, when you slap hard again, if there will be no rash, it means that the blood stasis in the internal meridians is relatively reduced, and the detoxification will come to an end.

Xia Guo: Speaking of rainy and solar terms, I would like to recommend a very magical health secret recipe. Most people must have eaten it, and that is Lycium barbarum. There is an old Lycium barbarum tree in the yard of my hometown, which grows a lot of Lycium barbarum every spring. My grandfather eats twenty or thirty Chinese wolfberry every day. At the age of 94, he is still in good health and mental state, thanks to the efficacy of Lycium barbarum.

Lycium barbarum is a well-known health-preserving wild product. It is very funny. It can be made into soup, porridge, soaked in water, or even put a handful of Lycium barbarum in stewed chicken. Simple and effective. Some people may get angry after eating medlar, but it doesn't matter. If you get angry because you eat medlar, you can be flexible. Drink or eat when the water is boiling, and the fire will be much lower.

In addition, Lycium barbarum is very suitable for keeping in good health with Astragalus. Astragalus membranaceus is an ingredient that blindly strengthens the spleen and benefits qi. You can put Astragalus membranaceus and Lycium barbarum together, and add some chrysanthemums to soak in water. This is a very good rainy and solar energy health drink: Shuangqi scented tea. Drinking this kind of tea often in rainy solar terms can enhance the vitality and nourish the qi and blood of a day.

Early spring vitality drink-Shuangqi scented tea material │ 5 grams of Astragalus membranaceus, 5 grams of Lycium barbarum and 3 chrysanthemums.

Methods │ Put the above materials into a cup and soak them in boiling water for 10 minutes before drinking.

Efficacy │ Strengthening spleen and benefiting qi, improving spring sleep, relieving fatigue and enhancing vitality.

It's easy to lose sleep in rainy season. The energy in a year is spring, long summer, autumn harvest and winter storage. In spring, human energy rises and yang rises. People should be full of energy in spring, but looking at friends around them, many people seem to have no enough energy, but feel tired and depressed. This is what Chinese medicine often says.

Do you feel sleepy in spring? You can simply test it. Put your hand out, where can you see the vitality of spring? The answer is to see how many white half-moon marks there are at the root of nails.

Half-moon marks on nails reflect the nutritional status of human body, which Chinese medicine attaches great importance to, and it shows the vitality of the body. Vitality is the basis of a person's vitality, so people with sufficient vitality are half moon marks. In a healthy and normal person, at least eight of the ten fingers have half-moon marks.

Some people may have half-moon marks on ten fingers, so don't be too proud, because it's not good to go too far. If there are ten fingers, and there are many, more than one-sixth of the nails, it is the performance of getting angry, and the problem of "three highs" will be more obvious. And if there are few half-moon marks, it is lack of vitality. We will find that its restoration usually begins with the little finger. Looking back, is that right? The half-moon mark of the little finger disappears first, then the ring finger, middle finger and index finger, and finally we will find that many people only have two thumbs.

If the half-moon mark is insufficient, you may feel sleepy, tired and listless in spring. Modern urbanites consume their vitality all the time. For example, if you fall asleep after 1 1 at night, you actually stay up late, but now many people sleep very late. Once it exceeds 1 1 point, it is difficult to detoxify the liver and gallbladder normally, so you must go to deep sleep before 1 1 point.

Only when the liver and gallbladder are in a deep sleep state can there be a good detoxification effect. If you always miss this time, you will miss the best detoxification period, and the toxins will increase, so the body will call more vitality to eliminate toxins, leading to the loss of vitality.

Nowadays, many girls like to eat too many cold things, such as ice cream and iced drinks. In fact, all cold foods will damage the vitality of the body, and the body will get colder and colder. If you eat these regularly, it is difficult to ensure that your body has normal vitality. How to make up? I recommend the three-tone method of spring ploughing.

First of all, I suggest you eat more food to supplement it. Because the half-moon marks on nails represent the nutritional status of human body, it is suggested that people eat more foods rich in high-quality protein, such as bean products, milk and eggs, to supplement the high-quality protein needed by human body.

In addition, there is a folk secret recipe for nourishing vitality, which is Yuan Qi soup. Take two walnuts that you are eating at ordinary times, pound them into pieces, beat an egg, and put them in a bowl and blanch them with boiling water. Remember to use freshly boiled water, because only boiling water can cook them. Add a little sugar or salt and drop two drops of sesame oil. This is a good soup for warming stomach and nourishing yuan. Drink this bowl of soup every day, and after a month or two, the half-moon mark on your finger will gradually become bigger, because your vitality will be gradually replenished.

If you don't have time to recuperate through diet, then there is a more important point: it is better to sleep for tonic than to eat tonic. In fact, from the perspective of TCM health preservation, a good sleep is more effective than any tonic. What kind of sleep is called sleep? The first thing is to be able to go to bed on time, and it is best to fall asleep before 1 1 at night.

If you can't control your sleep time, you must make up for it by dredging the meridians. In fact, it is very simple, that is, heating three parts of the human body. Chinese medicine says that the kidney hides vitality, and the homework done by supplementing yuan is to tonify the kidney. These three parts are all related to the kidney.

The first is the ear. Chinese medicine says that the kidney can understand the ear. Some people may be prone to tinnitus in middle age or when they are tired, which reflects the deficiency of kidney qi and kidney deficiency. At this time, you can often use two fingers to draw scissors, pinch your ears and rub them up and down until your ears get hot, which can stimulate kidney qi.

The second part is at the waist, that is, the position of the two waist eyes. The waist is the house of the kidney, the waist is the home of the kidney, and the kidney is at the waist. Moreover, the kidney is warm, and the kidney is warm and cool. If you often rub your waist with fever, it is equivalent to giving the kidney a nourishing effect. If the waist is cold, the kidney will be very sad, so to keep the waist warm, you must not catch cold. Signs represent the nutritional status of the human body. I suggest you eat more foods rich in high-quality protein, such as bean products, milk, eggs, etc., to supplement the high-quality protein needed by the human body.

In addition, there is a folk secret recipe for nourishing vitality, which is Yuan Qi soup. Take two walnuts that you are eating at ordinary times, pound them into pieces, beat an egg, and put them in a bowl and blanch them with boiling water. Remember to use freshly boiled water, because only boiling water can cook them. Add a little sugar or salt and drop two drops of sesame oil. This is a good soup for warming stomach and nourishing yuan. Drink this bowl of soup every day, and after a month or two, the half-moon mark on your finger will gradually become bigger, because your vitality will be gradually replenished.

The third part is the foot center. If you look at the meridian diagram, you will find that Yongquan point in the heart of the foot is an acupoint at the beginning of the kidney meridian and the foot is the root of the kidney. Chinese medicine believes that if you can rub your ears, waist and feet before going to bed, you can enhance the function of the kidney meridian.
