During the Xiaoman season, as the temperature rises, it can easily make people feel irritable and anxious. It is important to pay attention to nourishing the mind, calming the nerves, and regulating emotions. "On May 20th, at the Seasonal Solar Terms and Health (Xiaoman) press conference held by the National Health Commission, Yang Jinrui, spokesperson for the National Health Commission, said. At present, 31 provinces (regions, municipalities) have opened and operated the "12356" psychological assistance hotline, providing convenient, accessible, high-quality and efficient psychological counseling, psychological counseling, psychological crisis intervention and other services for the public. Yang Jinrui said, "Welcome everyone to call according to your needs." May 21st is the Xiaoman Festival. After the temperature rises, if people are busy with work and under high pressure, they are prone to sleep problems such as insomnia and excessive dreaming. Regarding this, Yuan Ying, chief physician of Wangjing Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, explained that traditional Chinese medicine believes that calming the excited yang qi and nourishing the depleted yin fluid are two important aspects to ensure sleep quality. Therefore, it is important to maintain a relaxed mood, choose some soothing exercises, and maintain a regular schedule to nourish the mind and spirit. For cases of difficulty falling asleep and restlessness, Yuan Ying recommends massaging the Baihui acupoint. "After the first joint of the middle finger bends, use your fingertips to press down on the Baihui acupoint, gradually increasing the pressure from light to heavy, and then concentrate your mind and consciousness on your fingertips, feeling the force of your fingertips pressing down. You can also use the fingertips of both hands to press the Fengchi acupoint, gradually increasing the pressure from light to heavy. Next, use the fingertip of your index finger to press on the shoulder well acupoint, increasing the pressure from light to heavy. Each acupoint can be pressed for about 1 minute. By massaging this set of acupoints, you can gradually relax your muscles and stabilize your mind, "Yuan Ying said. Yuan Ying added that if you feel restless and often have mouth and tongue sores, yellow urine color, and strong heart and liver fire, such people often wake up early at three or four o'clock in the morning. You can use 10 grams of light bamboo leaves, 3 grams of lotus seed heart, 15 grams of stir fried sour jujube kernels, boiled water instead of tea to clear your mind and calm your nerves. In recent years, children's mental health issues have received great attention from society, especially for those who have poor or difficult learning, and even those who are unwilling to go to school, which can easily cause anxiety among parents. Wu Di, chief physician of Beijing Children's Hospital, explained at the press conference that children may have learning difficulties, such as difficulties in reading, writing, and arithmetic, improper learning methods, and emotional problems. Negative emotions such as anxiety and depression may affect and distract attention, reducing motivation to learn. It is worth noting that excessive pressure from parents may also affect their children's learning status. Wu Di suggests that parents should create a warm and harmonious family atmosphere, give their children enough sense of security, establish an equal communication mode, respect their children's ideas, and not easily criticize or accuse them. In addition, parents can seek professional assistance to assess whether their children have learning disabilities or psychological problems, and provide timely guidance and support. There is a saying among the people that 'Xiaoman does not eat raw or cold food'. Yuan Ying explained that this is because during the Xiaoman solar term, the yang energy is in a state of rising and dispersing, which is easily consumable. In addition, with the increase of rainfall and humidity after entering summer, dampness is a pathogenic factor that can easily damage yang qi. If one eats a lot of cold food at this time, it can damage spleen yang, leading to dysfunction of spleen and stomach function, such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, poor dietary function, and loss of appetite. Especially for the elderly, children, and those with weak constitution, they should pay more attention. Yuan Ying suggests that during the Xiaoman solar term, one can eat more seasonal vegetables such as bitter vegetables, bitter gourd, and bitter chrysanthemum that clear heat and relieve summer heat. People who are easy to catch fire at ordinary times can eat more yin nourishing and dry ingredients, such as winter melon, watermelon, water chestnut, lotus root, mung bean, chrysanthemum, Snow fungus soup, etc. (New Society)
