The doctor tells you: Why do you want to cover the spring and freeze the autumn?

1 Why should it be frozen in spring and autumn? People often say that "spring freezes and autumn freezes", 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:

(1) Wear some thin long pants and socks to cover elbows, knees, ankles and other joints, so as not to make children feel hot;

(2) Pay attention to the warmth of the abdomen when sleeping, but don't cover it too much;

(3) Try to avoid catching cold at the back of the child's neck and keep some thin vests that can cover these parts.
