Xiao Man health, damp and hot is the key!

May 21 is Xiao Man. Xiao Man is the second solar term in summer. Its meaning is that the seeds of summer crops begin to fill up, but they are not yet mature, just small and full. "In mid-April, when things are small, they are full." In the 24 solar terms, Xiao Man is a season full of philosophy. Small full, full without loss, full without surplus, full without overflow. China's philosophy of life taboos "too full" and "too full". It has the theory that "full damage, modest benefit" and "extreme things will turn against each other". A small life is enough.

Health preservation should be adapted to the weather. After filling up, the summer crops have begun to be plump, but not mature. Small full solar terms coincide with late May. The temperature increases obviously and the humidity and heat are heavy. If sleeping in a cool place, it will lead to diseases related to dampness, such as rubella, sweat spots, eczema, tinea manus and feet, vaginitis and so on. After small full, these diseases are easy to recur or change significantly. In addition, with the gradual warming of the weather and the increase of human consumption, the influence of summer and wet climate can easily lead to insufficient spleen and stomach qi and gastrointestinal dysfunction. At this time, dehumidification is just in time, people are born with the spirit of the world, and grow up in accordance with the law of renewal and change of the four seasons. According to the concept of health preservation without disease and precaution, special attention should be paid to clearing heat and dispelling dampness to prevent the occurrence of diseases in the health preservation of Xiaomang solar term.

Avoid cold food during the full season. Rainfall increases before and after Xiao Man, humidity becomes heavier and heavier. People with deficiency of spleen and stomach are prone to heat and dampness if they are greedy for cold food. They can put some ginger in their cooking. Ginger can disperse cold in warm and expel moisture from the body. In addition, avoid the food with thick taste, fat, sweet and greasy, moisturizing and moisturizing, such as animal fat, sour and astringent spicy, sex belongs to warm and hot products and fried and smoked things, such as mustard, pepper, chili, fennel, cinnamon, leek, eggplant, mushroom, sea fish, shrimp, crab all kinds of seafood hair.

Diet should be based on the principle of invigorating the spleen and nourishing the stomach, with more soup, soup, juice and other water, light and can promote appetite, digestible diet. Each meal should not be too large, should be a small number of meals for the principle. It can often eat food with the function of clearing away dampness and heat, such as red beans, Coix seed, winter gourd, towel gourd, cucumber, cucumber, cauliflower, water celery, water chestnut, black fungus, lotus root, carrot, tomato, yam, duck meat, etc. It can promote metabolism and promote the discharge of internal heat by drinking plenty of warm water. In addition, do not use beverages instead of boiled water, especially orange juice. Drinking more will generate heat and phlegm, which will aggravate internal heat.

In addition, self-health can be regulated by "meridians and collaterals" to dispel dampness more vigorously. At this time, the main acupoints such as Zhongwan, Zusanli, Yinlingquan, Quchi, Dazhui, Hegu, Inner Atrium, Pishu, Shenshu, Chengshan, Shenque, Guanyuan, Zhongji and so on are selected.

Xiao Man is a season full of hope, Zen and philosophy. "When the grain is full, the grain is full." When the ancients named Xiao Man, they expressed a joy of immediate harvest. At this time, wheat is turning green to yellow. In a few days, the golden wheat wave will dress up the earth with golden nostalgia far from the horizon. In the small full solar term, bitter vegetable has flourished, and some shady branches of soft grass began to wither in the strong sunshine, when wheat began to mature. Some plants withered, some matured, withered and prosperous.

The same is true of the human body. In the small full season, the five zang organs are carefully fed, free of emotion and nourished, and the five zang organs have the characteristics of "full but not solid". The six Zang organs have the characteristics of "solid but unsatisfactory". The six Zang organs have the characteristics of "solid but unsatisfactory". Xia Zhizhi is happy and happy. In the summer full season, people's spirit should be as lush, vigorous and upward as all the things in nature, and their mood should be happy, so as to make the organism's Qi clear and the human body's function vigorous and harmonious. To treat the ups and downs of life with a plain and pleasant mood in a small full atmosphere is the true meaning of health preservation.
