Why does my waist feel cold in summer?

The phenomenon of cold waist in summer is quite common in our daily life. It is generally caused by deficiency of kidney yang. If a person has deficiency of kidney yang, it is not only easy to cause cold waist, but also cold body. Even if the weather is hot, such symptoms will appear. At this time, you should adjust your body in time. You can take some medicines that warm and nourish the kidney yang. You should also do a good job of mental adjustment and dietary adjustment. Of course, moderate exercise is also very beneficial.

How to regulate kidney yang deficiency?

1. Mental care

People with insufficient Yang Qi often show bad moods, such as those with liver Yang deficiency who are prone to fear, and those with heart Yang deficiency who are prone to sadness. Therefore, we should be good at regulating our emotions and eliminating or reducing the impact of negative emotions.

2. Environmental Adjustment

Such people have poor ability to adapt to changes in temperature and will feel unbearably cold if it gets slightly cooler. Therefore, in the cold winter, we should “avoid the cold and keep warm”, and in the spring and summer, we should pay attention to cultivating and replenishing the Yang energy. "Never get tired of the sun." Some people point out that if you can take twenty to thirty sunbaths in the summer, each time for fifteen to twenty minutes, you can greatly improve your ability to adapt to the harsh winter climate. Because the human body's yang energy tends to the surface of the body in summer, the pores and skin open, and people with yang deficiency should not sleep outdoors, and should not let electric fans blow directly on them when sleeping. In rooms with air-conditioning equipment, be careful not to let the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor be too large. At the same time, avoid staying for a long time under the shade of trees, in water pavilions, and in corridors with strong winds. If you do not pay attention to keeping warm in summer and only seek temporary relief, it is more likely to cause numbness of hands and feet or facial paralysis, which is what Chinese medicine calls "wind arthralgia".

3. Physical exercise

Because "movement generates yang", people with yang deficiency should strengthen physical exercise, persevere in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and do it 1 to 2 times a day. Specific activities depend on physical strength, such as walking, jogging, Tai Chi, Wu Qin Xi, Ba Duan Jin, internal nourishment exercises, work-break exercises, ball games and various dance activities. You can also take sun baths and air baths frequently to strengthen Wei Yang. In terms of Qigong, insist on doing strengthening exercises, standing exercises, health care exercises, and longevity exercises.

4. Diet adjustment

Many diseases can be treated through diet. People with kidney yang deficiency should eat more foods that have aphrodisiac effects, such as lamb, dog meat, venison, and chicken. According to the principle of "nourishing yang in spring and summer", during the three hottest days of summer, you can eat aconite porridge or mutton and aconite soup once during each of the three hottest days of summer. This is most effective in strengthening the yang of the human body when the yang of heaven and earth is strong.

5. Medication for health

You can choose products that can replenish yang and dispel cold, and warm the liver and kidneys. Commonly used medicines include deer antler, seal kidney, gecko, cordyceps, Morinda officinalis, epimedium, curculigo, Cistanche deserticola, psoralea corylifolia, walnut, Eucommia ulmoides, Dipsacus asper, Cuscuta australis, etc. The ready-made prescriptions include Jinkui Shenqi Pills, Yougui Pills, and Quanlu Pills. If the patient's yang deficiency is mainly heart yang deficiency, take Guizhi Gancao Decoction with cinnamon regularly. If the deficiency is severe, add ginseng. If the patient's yang deficiency is mainly spleen yang deficiency, choose Lizhong Pills, which can be made into Fuzi Lizhong Pills. If both spleen and kidney deficiency is present, Jisheng Shenqi Pills can be used.
