Modern people have become accustomed to using refrigerators. In summer, men are proud to gulp down iced beer and iced coke, thinking it is bold, while women think it is iced tea, ice cream and iced fruit salad, keeping up with fashion. Even children eat ice cream in boxes, and adults show it off. But most people don't know that many of our diseases come from these bad habits. Chinese medicine believes that people are healthy because the warmth of qi is normal, and the biggest harm of cold and cool things lies in the loss of yang and the weakening of human function. After the weakening of human visceral function, it is easy to cause stagnation of qi and blood stasis.
Qi stagnation and blood stasis is a commonly used term in Chinese medicine, which many people disagree with. In fact, the root of the disease mostly comes from this. Everyone has learned these eight words, "running water does not rot, and the hinge does not gnaw". The opposite meaning of course means that if the water does not flow, it will be easy to corrupt, and if the pivot column does not exercise often, it will be prone to insects. Why are tumors, cysts, strokes, cancers, dysmenorrhea in women (including infertility caused by irregular menstruation caused by palace cold), male sexual dysfunction and allergic diseases increasing and getting younger and younger? Everyone has the bad habit of being greedy for cold things in it. Many women suffer from dysmenorrhea, but it is not good to treat it in the east and the west, or it is better when taking medicine, and it will happen immediately after stopping taking medicine. Ask her if she is forbidden to be cold? She said, why should it be banned? The doctor never said. I really want to arrest the doctor when I hear this.
Someone said again, how do you think westerners eat like this? You can add ice to any food, and you haven't seen anyone get sick and have a short life? There are many people who hold this view, just as we doubted when we said we would not encourage China people not to drink or drink less coffee: If coffee is so bad, can it still be sold? People abroad drink several cups of coffee every day. These views are obviously a way of thinking of western medicine, thinking that everyone is the same. In fact, this simple example can explain the problem: why is orange born in the south an orange and born in the north an orange? This shows the importance of the environment. People in different regions have different constitutions. Take coffee as an example. Chinese medicine believes that coffee is acidic and woody, while westerners tend to be golden. Jin Kemu, of course, drinking more coffee has little effect, while we in China belong to the oriental wood, and coffee is also acidic. Regular drinking can cause excessive liver qi, which will affect the function of the spleen and stomach. This is what modern medicine has concluded that we in China drink more coffee.
Nowadays, people eat a lot of greasy things, and often refuse to exercise. The viscera functions, including the spleen and stomach, are seriously overused and the strain is low. The wet constitution is very obvious and wet and sticky, which is a major factor affecting the operation of qi and blood. Coupled with the greed for cold and cool things, it is really worse. How can a person's body afford it? It's strange not to get sick.
We have always stressed that for the body, we must recuperate and maintain together in order to maintain our health, and bad living habits will not change. Treating diseases is just an illusion, just like seeking fish from a tree and fishing for the moon in water.
