What should we pay attention to in the tenth month of the lunar calendar?

1. Nourish the kidneys<br /> Sun Simiao, a great doctor in the Tang Dynasty, said: "Thus, those who are good at keeping healthy should not violate the taboos of the sun and the moon, and should not lose the harmony of the seasons. In October, the heart and lungs are weak, and the kidneys are strong. It is advisable to reduce hard work to nourish the kidneys. Do not injure the tendons and bones, do not damage the skin, and do not use acupuncture and moxibustion rashly, because the blood is stagnant and the body fluids cannot flow. It is advisable to rest quietly on the 15th day for good luck."
What Sun Simiao meant was that when the lunar calendar enters the tenth month, the Yang energy of the human body is stored in the kidneys; at this time, the heart and lungs are weak while the kidneys are strong. Therefore, the general principle of treating the disease at this time is: it is better to store than to release, it is better to nourish than to hurt. For example, in spring and summer, scraping and cupping can be used to release toxins. In winter, this method should be done on a small area to avoid excessive opening of the skin and damage to the kidney's storage capacity.
For example, if you want to take medicine, you should also pay attention to the taste of the medicine. It should not be too bitter or cold, because bitterness and coldness can easily purge heat; nor should it be too dispersing, because dispersing taste can damage yang.
For example, when the moon is dark, the yang is hidden, and when the moon is full, the yang is floating. The fifteenth day of the lunar calendar is the day of the full moon. At this time, people with yin deficiency are particularly prone to the rising of false fire. They should pay attention to calming their body and mind and avoid rash movements.
Moreover, the kidney controls water and receives the essence of the five internal organs and stores it. The kidneys correspond to winter, so winter is the right time to nourish the kidneys. Especially in the tenth month of the lunar calendar, when Kun Gua is in power, you should nourish your kidneys and try not to have sexual intercourse, because sexual intercourse will cause semen loss, and semen loss will damage the kidneys.
2. Nourishing Yang Qi <br /> How to preserve Yang Qi? The "Inner Canon" suggests that after the beginning of winter, one should "keep the mind hidden, as if having private intentions, as if gaining something for oneself." This means that the mind and intention all belong to the movement of Yang. Since we need to nourish the hidden Yang energy, of course we must hide our spirit and intention inside the body and not vent it outside. For example, after winter begins, we should reduce our yearning for the future, or planning big projects, or staying up late thinking, or being full of enterprising spirit, etc. These are all outward-looking and can easily disturb the Yang Qi and prevent it from being hidden.
Some people say, can’t we think in winter? Of course not. It means to use your spirit less, spend less time thinking, think less about complicated things, have fewer intense desires, have fewer negative emotions such as resentment, anger, annoyance, worry, sadness, fear, and of course, have less extreme joy and keep your heart as calm and indifferent as possible. Sun Simiao said: "One does not need to love too deeply what the heart loves. One does not need to hate too deeply what the heart hates - both are detrimental to one's nature and mind." This is what he meant.
Simply put, the season has entered winter, and our body and mind must also enter winter. For example, one should reduce desires, calm the mind, and not be irritable and restless; the body should be more still and less active, and one should not overwork, especially not run a marathon, which is a waste of kidney essence. What's more, running a marathon in the cold winter is against the laws of the four seasons of heaven and earth.
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes holism, which includes the internal organs and limbs as a whole, as well as the human being and the universe as a whole. It can be said that the heaven and earth are the big universe, and the human body is the small universe. Human health and longevity are inseparable from the nourishment and warmth of heaven and earth.
