How to get rid of the cold in the dog days

Many people have heard of treating winter diseases in summer, which means that there is some coldness and dampness in the body at normal times, which is particularly suitable for corresponding treatment and elimination during the dog days. Therefore, removing the coldness from the body during the dog days is very effective, and it can also achieve a good effect on regulating the body. There are many methods, such as strengthening diet adjustments, using Sanfu stickers, etc., which are all good ways to eliminate the coldness in the body.

How to get rid of the cold in the dog days

1. Eat mutton

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that although the weather is hot during the dog days, the human body is easily invaded by heat, dampness and evil. Nutritionists have also conducted in-depth research on this, and the results show that mutton is the most nutritious when eaten during the dog days. During the dog days of summer, heat accumulates in the human body. If you drink mutton soup and chili oil, vinegar and garlic at this time, you will sweat profusely all over. This sweat can take away the accumulated heat in the five internal organs and expel toxins from the body, which is extremely beneficial to your health. However, "eating mutton in the late summer" is not suitable for everyone. People with hot constitution, who easily get angry and are prone to carbuncles, furuncles and boils, are not suitable for "treating winter diseases in summer", including "supplementing the three-fu seasons". Don't try it casually.

2. Sanfutie

"Sanfutie" is based on the concepts of "harmony between man and nature", "external treatment of internal diseases" and "treatment of winter diseases in summer" in traditional Chinese medicine. It is achieved by applying Chinese medicine to acupoints, which produces thermal stimulation to the acupoints, adjusts the balance of yin and yang in the human body, and achieves the effect of curing diseases and maintaining health. The patch is generally suitable for people who are weak and susceptible, have asthma, rhinitis, limb vertebral joint diseases, uterine cold and dysmenorrhea, etc. It can enhance immunity. People who are susceptible to colds and have cold diseases can consider this method.

3. Sanfu moxibustion

The so-called moxibustion is a traditional Chinese external treatment method, which is a method of using moxa and other drugs to burn and fumigate the acupuncture points on the human body surface to treat diseases. Moxibustion uses the mild heat of the fire and the effects of medicine to warm the qi and blood, strengthen the body and eliminate evil through the conduction of meridians, thereby achieving the purpose of treating diseases and preventing health care. Although Tianjiu therapy is simple and convenient, it also has contraindications in clinical application. First, moxibustion is contraindicated in terms of the condition: moxibustion can benefit yang, but it can also damage yin, so it is generally not suitable for patients with yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity, as well as internal evil heat, or should be used with caution. For example, people with hemoptysis, liver yang headache, stroke syndrome, high fever and coma, convulsions, or extreme exhaustion and cachexia should all use moxibustion with caution. Second, moxibustion is contraindicated in terms of the body part: facial acupoints should not be directly moxibustioned to avoid burns and scars. Important organ parts should not be directly moxibustioned. Moxibustion is not suitable for the lower abdomen and lumbar sacral area during pregnancy.

4. Scraping

Gua Sha therapy originated in the Paleolithic Age and is one of China's traditional natural therapies. In the treatment of diseases, scraping has the effects of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, adjusting the balance of yin and yang in the internal organs, dredging the body's tendons and meridians, eliminating toxins in the body, and promoting qi and blood circulation. It should be noted that it is best to drink a large glass of warm water after scraping to help detoxify. The scraped area should be properly protected and not exposed to cold. Gua Sha is generally only used for the early and middle stages of colds. It has the effects of dispelling wind and heat, and dispelling wind and cold. The effect of Gua Sha for late stages of colds is much worse. If you don't have a high fever, you can try scraping to cure it, but scraping cannot reduce fever. Once you have a fever, you should go to the hospital immediately. It is not okay to be superstitious about scraping.

5. Eat ginger

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that ginger is a yang-enhancing product, so since ancient times, there has been a saying in Chinese medicine that "a man cannot go a hundred days without ginger." Ginger contains volatile gingerol and gingerol, which have the functions of promoting blood circulation, dispelling cold, removing dampness and inducing sweat. In particular, ginger has the functions of promoting bile secretion, strengthening the stomach and stopping vomiting, eliminating fishy smell and eliminating edema. When used together with honey, it is beneficial to the recovery of liver disease. If you often feel stomach cold and loss of appetite, you can often hold fresh ginger slices in your mouth to stimulate the secretion of gastric juice and promote digestion. Fresh ginger moisturizes without damaging the yin. Cut four or five thin slices of fresh ginger every day, drink a cup of warm water in the morning, then put the ginger slices in your mouth and chew them slowly, allowing the smell of ginger to dissipate in your mouth and spread to your stomach, intestines and nostrils.
