Viruses attack indiscriminately, how can we improve our immunity? (Prevention methods included)

Beijing resumes level 2 response.

While everyone was waiting for the virus to subside or even disappear, it came back.

The sudden outbreak of the epidemic in Xinfadi has made everyone's relaxed mood tense again.

Medical staff checked 350,000 people overnight. Some people tested negative for nucleic acid, and some were diagnosed...

Under the indiscriminate attack of viruses, in addition to strict protection, how can we improve our physical fitness and avoid becoming "soft persimmons"?

"Nei Jing" says: Where evil gathers, its Qi will be deficient.

This means that if external evil energy can make you sick, it must also mean that your inner righteousness is insufficient and you cannot protect yourself well from evil energy.

Therefore, in the face of the rebound of the epidemic, we provide you with four ways to protect your righteousness in summer.

1. Frequent moxibustion on the "Warming Spleen Point" to prevent cold and dampness

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the favorite environment of the new coronavirus is still cold and wet.

But why do we need to protect ourselves from cold and humidity when it’s hot in summer?

In fact, what we prevent is not only external cold and dampness, but more importantly, internal cold and dampness. Although the climate in Beijing has been hot and dry recently, if a person's body is cold and wet, the chance of being infected by the virus is greater.

Especially in summer, it is difficult for us to have dietary taboos, which can easily damage the yang energy of the spleen and stomach and cause cold and dampness.

Therefore, in life, at least during this period, reduce "raw, cold, sticky, and greasy" foods to save some yang energy.

If you have a bad spleen and stomach, you should pay more attention to daily maintenance at this time. It is recommended to moxibustion the Zusanli and Zhongwan acupoints every day to protect the spleen and stomach.

Zusanli point: Located on the stomach meridian of Foot Yangming, on the outside of the calf, 3 inches below the calf's nose.

Zhongwan point: Located on the Ren channel, four inches above the navel.

For home moxibustion, we recommend using mild moxibustion:

Hold the moxa stick, light one end of the moxa stick, and hang it directly on the acupuncture point;

Keep a certain distance from it (2~3cm, be careful to avoid burns), so that it can act more gently on the body;

After moxibustion, be sure to cover the exposed skin, especially in summer when it is easy to catch wind and cold.

2. Always keep "Zhengqi Water" to prevent colds

Even in summer, many colds are caused by cold.

For example, when you are sweating when it is hot outside, and the cool breeze blows indoors, evil spirits swish into the body along the open pores.

Colds in summer are often more severe than in winter. Wind is a carrier, carrying cold into the body and sometimes moisture, which aggravates and damages the body's defense system.

Therefore, a cold that is both cold and wet will make you feel dizzy, weak in your limbs, have bad bowel movements, plus stuffy heat, and you will feel like you don’t have enough energy.

Huoxiang Zhengqi Water can dispel cold externally and remove dampness internally. It can properly treat fever caused by cold and gastrointestinal dampness.

"Chinese Pharmacopoeia" records Huoxiang Zhengqi Water:

Function: Relieves superficial heat, resolves dampness and neutralizes internal heat.

Indications: Exogenous wind-cold, internal injury due to dampness, summer heat-related dampness, severe headache, abdominal distension and pain, vomiting and diarrhea; gastrointestinal cold.

Therefore, you might as well keep Huoxiang Zhengqi water at home to deal with the unexpected needs of summer colds.

3. Drink "Relief Drink" often to prevent heat stroke

After the summer solstice, it will be like the "Five Poison Moon", and the real summer is coming.

The surface temperature is 40°C, and heavily armed medical staff are checking on 200,000 people day and night, who are on the verge of heat stroke.

So, how can we cool down our body and mind without damaging our righteousness too much?

Here I have to mention a classic summer-relieving drink - sour plum soup. It can not only produce body fluids and quench thirst, converge lung qi, relieve troubles and calm the mind, but is also not harmful to the body when eaten cold.

Sour plum soup consists of black plum, hawthorn, osmanthus, raw licorice, tangerine peel, and rosella. Among them, the royal medicine black plum can bring back the yang energy, so that it will not be completely dissipated from the body surface, and people will have more mental strength.

After staying outdoors for a long time in summer, people tend to become upset, dry mouth, and exhausted. If you drink a large bottle of water to quench your thirst, it will actually increase the burden on the heart, and may even cause palpitation, shortness of breath, sweating and other adverse phenomena. At this time, It's better to taste a bag of sour plum soup to quench your thirst and relieve the heat.

4. Preventive methods suitable for Beijing area

In the face of the epidemic, specific drugs should not be the only criterion for response plans.

In the traditional Chinese medicine idea of ​​"preventing disease", we should also focus on improving the body's immune function through regulation, enhancing righteousness, and enabling the body to respond to viruses, thereby gaining the ability to prevent and resist viruses.

According to the notice of the Beijing Municipal Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine on the issuance of the "Trial Fifth Edition of the Beijing New Coronavirus Pneumonia Traditional Chinese Medicine Prevention and Treatment Plan", the TCM prevention prescriptions will help everyone upgrade their protection during the rebound of the epidemic.
