How will our body react when there is "cold" in the body?

How should we prevent, or how to regulate the physical discomfort caused by coldness in the body?

In fact, we also know that cold air is one of the culprits of colds. But what I want to say is that cold air is not just a factor that causes common ailments such as colds and diarrhea, but a disease-causing evil that is widespread and highly lethal.

1. External factors: For example, the weather in the north is colder, or the south is humid. If you live in a cold area for a long time, you will be more or less invaded by the cold air.

2. Intrinsic factors: Some people like to eat some cold food, or do not pay attention to their diet and overeat, which will damage our spleen and stomach in the long run, and the spleen is the main function of transportation and transformation. of. If the function of spleen transportation and transformation is damaged, cold energy will arise from within.

3. Age factor: When a person reaches a certain age, his body functions are not as strong as before, his resistance decreases, and he will naturally be susceptible to cold invasion.

1. There is coldness in the heart

According to Chinese medicine, the heart governs the blood vessels, and the heart is the most afraid of cold. Once the heart catches cold, the blood vessels will be blocked, and in mild cases, the heart will be blocked. There will be spots, pale complexion, cold sensitivity, chest tightness, etc. For some people who have heart disease themselves, this needs to be taken seriously. When patients with cardiovascular disease are stimulated by cold and their blood vessels are blocked, it is easy to cause ischemia, thereby inducing angina pectoris and even myocardial infarction.

2. Cold in the liver

Generally, we only hear about cases of strong liver fire, but few people hear about liver cold. If the liver catches cold, it will be more serious. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the liver governs the tendons, and those affected by cold in the liver are the tendons. For example, the common cold pain in joints actually does not hurt the bones, but the tendons. In addition, the meridians along which the liver meridian travels will also be affected. For example, abdominal pain will occur, and it will be a dull pain.

3. The spleen is cold

The spleen itself is the organ responsible for transportation and transformation. If the spleen is invaded by cold air, its function of transportation and transformation will be blocked, and diarrhea will occur. What, or maybe indigestion. Over time, the patient will become wet, and his face will look sallow and lack of energy. There will also be a lot of saliva that cannot be vomited all the time, and the saliva will flow down when sleeping, or the mouth will be dry, but drinking water will not quench the thirst.

4. Coldness in the lungs

The lungs have the title of prime minister, which is equivalent to the prime minister in ancient times. They specialize in assisting the monarch, that is, the heart. In addition, the essence of the lung is hair, the orifice is the nose, the ambition is sorrow (sorrow), and the fluid is tears. If the lungs are cold, you will have a runny nose, you will be prone to colds, you will be less likely to sweat, and your cough will be more severe at night. Normally, I look very boring and always want to lie down.

5. Cold in the kidneys

In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, the kidneys are the innate foundation. Once the kidneys are invaded by cold air, the foundation will be damaged. Symptoms such as cold sensitivity, low back pain, long and clear urine, frequent urination, and cold hands and feet may occur. In addition, the kidney governs water, which is in conflict with the heart fire. If the kidneys are cold and the kidney water is overfilled, overpowering the heart fire, it is easy to induce heart disease.

All in all, we should pay attention to the harm caused by coldness in the body to our health. In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, if the five internal organs are cold, we can treat it through traditional Chinese medicine, massage, acupuncture and other methods. But in the "Nei Jing" it is said that "eat in moderation, daily life should be regular, and do not work rashly", which is also very important.

First of all, we need to adjust our diet and eat more warm foods. For example, leeks, coriander, mutton, dates, etc., but the amount needs to be controlled to avoid getting angry. Also, don’t eat cold foods to avoid aggravating the cold in your body.

Secondly, do more exercise. Appropriate exercise can accelerate blood circulation and resist or dispel cold.

Finally, you should always maintain a good attitude. A good mood is half the basis for promoting good health. Because according to Chinese medicine, the health of the five internal organs is closely related to our emotions. The heart is happy, the lungs are sad, the spleen is thinking, the liver is angry, and the kidneys are fearful.

Generally speaking, the main external manifestations of a cold constitution are pale complexion, cold hands and feet, dry skin, and easy inflammation of the mouth or corners of the mouth. Internally, it mainly manifests as diarrhea, constipation, low back pain, and joint pain. Women often experience delayed menstruation and dysmenorrhea.
