In Chinese medicine, there is a saying: Nine out of ten diseases are cold, and cold is the first to treat all diseases. Cold is the main Qi in winter. When cold evil invades people's skin, symptoms will appear, which is called "typhoid fever"; and once cold evil directly penetrates the organs, it will appear in the right form, which is called "mid-cold". In the "Emperor" by the ancestor of medicine It is recorded in the "Nei Jing" that most of our diseases are caused by cold, and this accounts for almost 99%. Cold Qi is a yin evil, and the contraction of cold will prevent our Yang Qi from venting. After feeling the onset of cold evil, it will cause symptoms such as skin shrinkage, closed sweat pores, and tight muscles and veins.
The coldness in the body can be said to be serious or not, because it is often not very obvious. It will affect your daily life, but it is also not small. If you keep putting it off without taking care of it, it will make you uncomfortable. Over time, it can easily cause other diseases.
Han Yi. Invasion of human organs and joints
Although cold diseases are more common in autumn and winter, they may also occur in other seasons. Cold evil will cause blood circulation in the human body to be blocked, such as cold hands and feet, Problems such as diarrhea, uterine cold, and menstrual pain. Usually, cold evil is characterized by the three characteristics of "cold, stagnation, and contraction", and cold will damage a person's yang energy and cause cold evil, which can lead to systemic or local disease. There will be obvious symptoms of cold. Cold and pain are often linked together, which are manifested in bone and joint pain, abdominal pain, headache, etc.; while cold condensation will manifest as no sweat, tightness, pain, or difficulty in flexion and extension. .
1. Cold evil damages yang and makes the body appear cold
Originally, a person's yang energy can suppress yin evil, but once the yin and cold in the body are excessive, it will cause If there is an imbalance of yin and yang in the body, the yang qi will not be able to expel the cold evil normally, but will be injured by the cold evil. This is the principle in traditional Chinese medicine that "excessive yin causes cold, and excessive yin causes yang disease". After that, the body will lose its warmth, and then the body will appear cold.
Also, if the cold evil is trapped on the surface and the Wei Yang is suppressed, symptoms such as aversion to cold, fever, no sweating, and dizziness will occur. , which is what we often call "typhoid". If the cold evil directly affects the internal organs, it will damage the yang qi of the organs (mid-cold); if the cold evil affects the spleen and stomach, it will cause abnormal circulation, resulting in vomiting, diarrhea, and diarrhea. Cold pain in the abdomen; cold damage to the spleen and kidneys means the failure of warming and yin transformation, which manifests as chills in the limbs, cold pain in the waist and spine, clear urine and loose stools, edema and ascites, etc.
2. Cold coagulation of the meridians. Blocking Qi and blood leads to body pain
Pain is one of the important characteristics of cold evil, because if cold overcomes the muscle surface and stagnates meridians, severe pain in the head, body, and joints will occur, and cold evil will directly affect the central nervous system. If there is blockage of Qi in the chest, epigastrium, or abdomen, there will be cold pain or colic.
The distribution of the subtle substances of water and grains in life will depend on the warm and promoting effect of Yang Qi to be unobstructed. Coagulation of the meridians will cause the Qi and blood to lose warmth. This will easily lead to coagulation and blockage of the Qi and blood in the meridians. If the meridians are blocked, pain will occur. Therefore, the pain caused by cold evil is obvious. Only if it is warm, the pain will be reduced. Cold will still cause severe pain.
3. The cold nature will cause the qi to converge and block the joints.
The cold nature will cause pain. "Characteristics of "Cold evil", once cold evil invades the human body, it will cause the Qi movement to converge, the internal organs to be blocked, and the meridians and muscles to contract and contract. If the cold pathogen invades the human body, the muscles and joints will contract and contract, causing difficulty in flexion and extension and cold convulsions. But if the cold is If the evil invades the skin surface, the hair orifices will shrink and the Wei Yang will be blocked, leading to fever, aversion to cold and no sweating.
The bad habits of modern people will make you suffer from internal cold
1. Going to bed late for a long time will help you get rid of internal cold
In "The Emperor's Inner Diameter·Lingshu· "Wei Qi Xing" records: Therefore, the Wei Qi travels around the body fifty times a day and night, travels around the Yang for twenty-five weeks during the day, travels around the Yin for twenty-five weeks at night, and circulates around the five internal organs. During the day, yang energy circulates throughout the body day and night to defend against enemies, and returns to yin at night; but now many young people like to stay up late, and they are often willing to put down their mobile phones and go to bed after 12 o'clock. In fact, this will Forcing the external Yang Qi to be unable to converge to the Yin, once the Yang Qi is dissipated, it will cause an imbalance of Yin and Yang, allowing cold evil to take advantage of the deficiency.
2. Revealing the waist and navel will bring out the cold inside
Nowadays, everyone’s aesthetic view of women is that “exposed” is the beauty, which also makes many women like to wear navel-baring clothes. Tops, waist-revealing, low-cut and backless tops, etc., which are also "freezing".
In addition, the exposed navel is the Shenque point of our human body. The Shenque point is an important channel for the communication and exchange of spirit and nutrition between the fetus and the mother. It has the power to strengthen the body and strengthen the foundation. If Shenque catches a cold, diarrhea and abdominal pain will occur in mild cases. , if severe, cold in the uterus may cause dysmenorrhea, cold and painful lower abdomen, and infertility.
The waist is also the place where Yang Qi passes through, and important acupuncture points such as Shenshu and Mingmen are all in this place. Once the Yang Qi on the back is attacked, low back pain and a feeling of swelling in the waist will occur. Discomfort. Therefore, the editor suggests that while paying attention to beauty, you should also do a good job in keeping warm. Only healthy beauty can be regarded as true beauty.
3. Addicted to eating raw and cold food, eating will bring out internal cold
As the saying goes: disaster comes from the mouth, and disease comes from the mouth. Many people completely let themselves go as soon as summer comes, like milk tea. , cold drinks, ice cream, etc. Some people are even used to drinking a large glass of ice water when they get up in the morning, and eating fruits right out of the refrigerator. But in fact, this is equivalent to opening a "big cold storage" in the body. After time, the cold evil will set up camp in the body.
If the spleen and stomach are cold, the abdomen is as cold as ice, and the cold is condensing in the middle of the body, many people will suffer from poor appetite, no desire to eat, constipation, etc., which may be misunderstood as "heat". Instead, they eat more cold foods that "raise the fire", and the vicious cycle continues to aggravate the accumulation of yin and cold. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that constipation caused by cold should be avoided, so as not to allow cold evil to continue to "eat in", it should be solved by warming the middle and dispersing cold.
