There are six syndromes in TCM theory, namely, cold, heat, warm, cold, deficiency and excess. Among these six syndromes, coldness ranks first, so there is a saying that "all diseases are cold first". Cold and dampness often consume our yang, and the sun in the sky brings light and warmth to nature. Without the sun, nothing can survive. The yang in our body is like the sun. If there is no yang in our body, our body will lose the vitality of metabolism, we can no longer supply energy and heat, and life will stop.
Many gastrointestinal diseases are also caused by colds. Gastrointestinal tract is the "spleen" of traditional Chinese medicine, which is responsible for the whole body blood supply. If the gastrointestinal function is poor, the absorption capacity is poor, and the food nutrition cannot be converted into enough blood to provide the body's needs, the peripheral blood circulation will naturally deteriorate.
Cold air accumulates in muscles, and after a long time, people will feel stiff muscles, backache and backache, resulting in scapulohumeral periarthritis (usually also called fifty shoulders and frozen shoulders) and arthritis. When cold air accumulates to a certain extent, it will invade people's meridians, causing qi stagnation and blood stasis, and then affecting the operation of qi and blood. In fact, this is the theoretical deficiency of traditional Chinese medicine, which can repeatedly induce various incurable diseases.
Therefore, we must find ways to drive away the cold and dampness in the body, conserve the yang in the body and warm the body. What makes blood flow is temperature. Qi and blood control the life and death of human body. If the circulation of qi and blood is smooth, people will be safe and sound, while if qi and blood stagnate, people will get sick.
We know that the circulation of blood in the body is driven by qi. So, who controls qi? Temperature!
For the human body, when the temperature is right and the blood flows smoothly, we will feel warm and comfortable; When the temperature drops and the blood speed slows down, stagnation and blockage will occur. Our first feeling is "cold"; If the temperature drops further, blood will coagulate and people will face death. Therefore, the driving force of blood flow is temperature, which can determine the rise and fall of human qi and blood.
In addition, this is related to the explanation of Qi in Chinese medicine, that is, "Qi is composed of innate essence, essence of water valley and natural qingqi", in which the innate essence and Shui Gu essence can be explained by temperature. The innate essence represents the innate "kidney" of the human body. The kidney is the yang of the human body, just like the fire in the human body, which shines warmly all over the body. For the kidney, the advice of Chinese medicine is always tonic, and there has never been a saying of diarrhea. Only by constantly and moderately replenishing fuel can the kidney fire be vigorous and the kidney qi be sufficient. It is the spleen and stomach that constantly supplement nutrition and refuel the kidneys, and it is the spleen and stomach that turn food into sufficient blood. This is what Chinese medicine often says: "Qi is the mother, and Qi is the handsome of blood".
Invigorating qi means tonifying kidney, warming kidney, keeping warm and dispelling cold. Sufficient qi and blood means sufficient qi and blood in the body, sufficient kidney qi and good basic physique, so you won't catch a cold. However, the elderly have weak kidneys, insufficient firepower, slow circulation and metabolism, low body temperature, weak body and fear of cold. Therefore, the human body must always be in a warm state, so that qi and blood can be magnificent and unimpeded, and we can better stand between heaven and earth.
Measure whether your temperature is low.
Hypothermia can lead to various diseases. If you want to know if your temperature is low, there is a small way: take your temperature two hours after getting up. If your temperature is around 35 degrees, it is obvious that you are hypothermia. More than 36 degrees does not mean that the body temperature is not low. This is a test. If most of them match, your temperature has started to drop.
