What is the 24-hour health knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine?

According to the concept of Eastern health preservation, sleep and wakefulness are the results of the alternation of yin and yang.

If the yin energy is strong, you will fall asleep, and if the yang energy is strong, you will wake up. Therefore, the "Huangdi Nei Jing" says: "If the yang energy is exhausted, you will lie down, and if the yin energy is exhausted, you will sleep."

Zi hour is from 11 pm to 1 am, when Yin energy is strongest and Yang energy is weak; noon hour is from 11 noon to 1 PM, when Yang energy is strongest and Yin energy is weak.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, Zishi and Noon are the times when yin and yang alternate. It is also the time when the human body's meridian Qi "unifies yin" and "unifies yang", which is beneficial to nourishing yin and yang. For example, sleeping soundly during these two time periods

It is good for the human body.

Especially at midnight, it is the time of the day when the yin energy is the heaviest. Resting at this time is the most nourishing yin, the sleep effect is the best, and the sleep quality is the best, which can get twice the result with half the effort.

Zishi is also the time when the meridians in traditional Chinese medicine travel to the liver and gallbladder. This is the time to nourish the liver and you should be in deep sleep.

If you miss this period of sleep due to staying up late, the liver and gallbladder will not get adequate rest, which may manifest as rough skin, dark spots, and yellow complexion.

You should take a nap during the "Yang" time at noon. Even if you are unable to sleep, you should "go into silence" so that your body can transition into balance.

Noon time is from 11 noon to 1 p.m. At this time, Yang Qi is strongest and Yin Qi is weak. "When Yin Qi is exhausted, you will sleep", so you should sleep at noon.

However, work efficiency is usually the highest when Yang Qi is strong, so the main lunch break is a "nap", which only takes half an hour.

Because nap time is too long, it will disrupt the body's biological clock and affect sleep at night.

Zishi: The gallbladder meridian is in season. Zishi refers to 11 o'clock at night to 1am the next morning. This time is the time when the gallbladder meridian is in season.

"In order" means on duty.

There is a particularly strange phenomenon in life. After eating at night, we fall asleep at 8 or 9 o'clock, but wake up as soon as 11 o'clock. Therefore, many people are now used to starting work after 11 o'clock.

Some people always want to eat something at 11 o'clock at night and look for something to eat in the house. Why is this?

This is because it is at this time that Yang Qi begins to grow, so a very important principle is that it is best to go to bed before 11 o'clock, so that this vitality can be slowly nourished. A person's sleep has a great influence on a person's lifespan.

Relationship, so sleeping is nourishing yang energy.

Zishi is the darkest time of the day when Yang energy begins to grow.

There is a saying in the "Huangdi Neijing" that "all the eleven treasures are obtained from the gallbladder".

It depends on the growth of gallbladder. When gallbladder qi grows, the qi and blood of the whole body will follow.

Getting enough sleep during childhood is crucial for the day.

Chou hour: Liver meridian is in order. Chou hour refers to 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. This is when the Liver meridian is in order.

You must have good sleep at this time, otherwise your liver will not be able to support itself.

The word "ugly" is like a hand being strangled, just like although Yang Qi is rising at this time, you must restrain it and control it, that is to say, there must be a fall during the rise.

Therefore, if you want to nourish your liver and blood well, you should sleep well from 1 to 3 o'clock.

Yin Shi: The Lung Meridian is in season. Yin Shi refers to 3 a.m. to 5 a.m., when the Lung Meridian is in season.
