The large temperature difference between day and night during the summer season requires scientific treatment of "spring covering and autumn freezing" and "spring drowsiness and autumn fatigue"

On the front line of health, pay attention to what you care about. On August 23rd, it enters the Chushu solar term, which is the second solar term of autumn. Its arrival means that the hot summer gradually turns into cool autumn, and the temperature difference between day and night gradually increases. At the press conference of the National Health Commission on August 22, experts stated that appropriate "autumn freezing" can increase the body's immunity, but the elderly, children, and people with weaker immunity should add clothing appropriately in the morning and evening to avoid catching a cold. Xu Yun, chief physician of Xiyuan Hospital of Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said, 'We should cover and freeze.' Some places still need to be covered and not all should be exposed. Firstly, the shoulders are an important part of our lung meridian circulation, so don't wear clothes like hurdle vests anymore. The second one is the waist and abdomen. As the external temperature drops, the yang energy in our body gradually decreases, so we need to protect our waist and abdomen. Experts suggest that massaging the Taiyuan and Shenmen acupoints appropriately can nourish the mind and invigorate the mind during the summer break. Xu Yun, Chief Physician of Xiyuan Hospital, Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine: You can naturally cross the tiger mouths of both hands. There is a small depression on the radial side corresponding to the index finger, which feels sour, numb, swollen and painful when pressed down. This is called Taiyuan acupoint. In addition, there is another acupoint on the side of the wrist crease on the little finger, and there is a small depression on the wrist crease tendon, which is called Shenmen acupoint. We can gently press our index finger and thumb on these two acupoints with one hand, feeling a tingling and painful sensation in our wrist. After pressing for 3-5 minutes, we can switch to the opposite hand. Experts also suggest that children and adults recommend different acupoints for massage. Xu Yun, Chief Physician of Xiyuan Hospital, Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine: For children, we recommend three small movements. We pay more attention to their ears because they are the gathering place of the meridians. Let's first make our hands into scissor hands and rub the roots of the child's ears. The second action is to place our hand and index finger on the triangular groove below the tips of our ears and press it. After more than 10 times, we can lift our hands and hold onto both tips of our ears, pulling them upwards until they heat up. The third action corresponds to our earlobes. We first rub our earlobes with our thumb and index finger for more than 10 times, and then pull them downwards until they heat up. These three actions can help our children stimulate their cerebral cortex and better cope with the upcoming school season. (New Society)
