The combination of cold and dampness causes diseases at the same time, which leads to poor yang, poor circulation of qi and blood, skin pain, joint contracture and other diseases.
Cold and dampness are diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cold and dampness include exogenous cold and dampness and endogenous cold and dampness.
Exogenous cold and dampness: exogenous cold and dampness evil, blocking qi and blood circulation.
The common symptoms of exogenous cold and dampness are joint and muscle pain;
Endogenous cold and dampness: cold and dampness are trapped inside and damage spleen yang, or spleen and kidney yang deficiency and cold and dampness stay inside.
Endogenous cold and dampness are manifested as chills, cold limbs, abdominal pain and diarrhea, or edema.
People with cold and wet constitution can't see obvious negative effects within a year or two. After middle age, "paper can't always contain fire". Once you are nervous or overdrawn, you can't bear the disease, so the problems accumulated over the years will either attack slowly, the three highs, diabetes and coronary heart disease will appear, or they will break out in a concentrated way. The physical examination of the unit will suddenly find cancer!
Cold and dampness will invade all organs of our body and cause various diseases. A patient of the expert suffered from chronic gastritis more than 30 years ago. In the past two or three decades, the disease has become more and more serious and gradually developed into gastric cancer. Experts said that the occurrence and development of gastric cancer in this patient has a lot to do with cold and dampness.
So how do you tell if you are cold and wet?
If there is one of the following circumstances!
1, heavy body-often feel weak limbs, unable to sleep, heavy body, no spirit, some people always feel that they have a hat on their heads.
2, body cold-we will feel cold limbs, gloomy, blue.
3, the body is moldy-all kinds of skin diseases are frequent: rubella, scalp and eczema are the first in the world; Generally speaking, it is all kinds of stomach diseases, nausea, loss of appetite and emaciation; Followed by scrotal eczema and foot moss.
4, long bacteria in the body-all kinds of bacteria and viruses are easy to infect.
5, body decay-all kinds of inflammation, long-term ulcers.
6, the body meridians are not smooth-dysmenorrhea, long cysts, long tumors.
7. Obesity-especially in the lower body, moisture tends to descend, cold and dampness last for a long time, and the pulse is slack. Traditional Chinese medicine describes it as "the waist is as soluble as sitting water" and "the abdomen is as heavy as carrying 5 thousand".
8, depression, you are depressed, you are depressed, I found that many clinically diagnosed depression patients are mostly cold and wet!
9. In addition, the increase of abdominal fat can also be used as a standard to measure cold and dampness.
Kidney in human body belongs to water, spleen belongs to soil, spleen and kidney are soil and water of human body, and are the cornerstone of health.
All diseases are treated by spleen and kidney, which is most afraid of dampness and cold. Water is liquid waste metabolized by human body. When there is too much moisture and the spleen cannot be completely transported, these wastes will accumulate in the body. Chinese medicine says that "moisture enters the body, such as oil", which is extremely difficult to remove. However, spleen dampness will inevitably lead to kidney cold, and human tissues and internal organs seem to be in a damp and cold room, just like machines will rust, which will lead to various diseases.
Dampness and coldness are mostly caused by spleen deficiency. If the air outside the body is wet and cold, it will lead to spleen deficiency and wet and cold syndrome, and the evil of wet and cold will appear in the human body.
1, the evil of cold and dampness remains in meridian joints, so it is advisable to use drugs to dispel wind, remove dampness and dredge collaterals. Chinese medicine rattan has this effect; It is also necessary to choose different Chinese medicines according to the different upper and lower limbs of the body. For example, Notopterygium incisum is generally used for upper limbs, while angelica pubescens is mostly used for lower limbs.
2, the evil of cold and dampness stays in the viscera, and it is necessary to choose dampness-removing or dampness-drying drugs that enter the viscera. Such as Pogostemon Fragrans, Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae, Rhizoma Pinelliae, Cortex Magnolia Officinalis, etc.
3, the evil of cold and dampness depends on the specific cause of cold and dampness. Cold and dampness are external dampness and internal dampness, and external dampness is mostly caused by external evil and six yin cold and dampness; Internal dampness is mostly due to yang deficiency of viscera, especially spleen and kidney. External dampness should eliminate evil, while internal dampness should warm and tonify the yang of viscera.
Where does cold and dampness come from?
First, do not pay attention to diet.
Excessive love of cold food and cold drinks can also lead to chills. Cold hurts the stomach, especially in summer, many people are greedy for cold, and drinking frozen food in the refrigerator for a long time is easy to damage the spleen and yang. If the spleen yang is insufficient, the spleen's function of transporting water and dampness will decrease, thus breeding dampness evil.
Second, the desire for air-conditioned rooms.
Hot summer is a season of sweating a lot. High temperature in summer will lead to the decline of basal metabolic rate, and it is difficult to generate heat energy. People like to stay in cool air-conditioned rooms and don't like to go out to blow hot air and bask in the sun. In fact, the combination of these two reasons is the cause of body cold.
Third, the pressure is too high.
Excessive pressure will increase the secretion of adrenaline and make blood vessels contract. As soon as blood vessels contract, blood circulation will be blocked. If the blood circulation is not smooth, eventually the whole body blood circulation is not smooth, which causes hypothermia.
Fourth, lack of exercise or no exercise at all.
Blood doesn't like to flow, so Han came to you. Especially for people who work at their desks for a long time and are too lazy to move in front of the computer for a long time, they should not only be careful about visiting with a cold, but also prevent headaches and shoulder pains to join in the fun. Exercise can not only relieve bones and muscles, but also help to contract and expand blood vessels, improve metabolism, raise body temperature and improve cold constitution.
Fifth, blood is sticky.
Blood circulation can lead to "blood stasis" because blood is responsible for transporting waste toxins in the body. With the passage of time and the increase of traffic volume, some wastes and toxins will accumulate in the blood, causing blood to be sticky. The evil consequence of blood viscosity is to slow down blood circulation, worsen energy metabolism and finally lower body temperature.
Eliminating dampness at acupoints
1, Dazhui point:
Dazhui point belongs to the Du meridian and is the sea of Yang veins. Stimulating this point can stimulate the yang of the whole body, protect the whole body and avoid the invasion of cold and dampness.

Because Chengshan point is located on the bladder meridian of Foot Sun, it is the "yang of human body". Stimulating it can directly stimulate the yang of bladder meridian and expel human moisture.
Generally speaking, as long as we press the mountain for a period of time, we will feel a slight fever on the body, which can invigorate the yang, thus promoting the transport of dampness and evil.
Chengshan point has obvious pain and swelling when it is light, which may be related to the heavy moisture in the body.
3. Zusanli and Yinlingquan points
Spleen is the source of phlegm. Too much moisture can't be transported, and it will become turbid.
Therefore, to fundamentally solve the problem of heavy phlegm and dampness, it is necessary to strengthen the spleen. Zusanli point and Yinlingquan point are the first points for regulating spleen and strengthening stomach.
4. Fenglong point

Step 5 rub your lower abdomen
The shade is the easiest place to gather cold and dampness. Knead your lower abdomen once every morning and evening, first counterclockwise, then clockwise.
The minimum number of kneading is 36 times, or multiples of 36 are acceptable. The strength should be moderate, and it would be better if it could drive the abdominal soft tissue. The wet and turbid abdomen will be discharged through two stools, and the lower abdomen will be at room temperature and full of vitality.
