Should I abstain from sex during the Minor Cold in 2019? Can I have sex?
“Nourish yourself in the coldest days of winter and you will be free from illness in the coming year.” The Minor Cold solar term is the best time to nourish yourself in winter. So, can couples have sex at this time? What should I pay attention to? Come to Mr. Shui Mo's website to learn about the relevant content of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar in 2018!Should I abstain from sex during the Minor Cold in 2019? Can we share a room?Minor Cold, also known as the twelfth month festival, has two dots under the word "Han" (cold) that represent ice. In Shuowen Jiezi (Explaining Characters), "Han" means frozen. At this time, it is not yet extremely cold, as the extreme cold is called "Dahan". The sun hides behind the cold trees, and the wild scenery is shrouded in cold fog. The cold is caused by the rising Yang Qi which suppresses the Yin Qi. The health-preserving principle of the Lesser Cold solar term is to conserve essence and energy, strengthen the foundation and support the vital energy, with the main focus on "preventing cold and nourishing the kidney". Therefore, on this basis, it is not recommended to have sexual intercourse, but to focus on strengthening the foundation and supporting the vital energy.Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney is the basis of storage and the place where essence is stored, corresponding to the energy of winter. During the Lesser Cold, one should nourish the heart and kidneys to preserve essence and nourish the spirit. Therefore, having sex on the day of Minor Cold will cause unnecessary burden on the body. It is recommended to go outside to get more sun, participate in more colorful cultural, sports and entertainment activities, and pay attention to the combination of movement and stillness. What are the principles of health preservation during Xiaohan?1. Daily life health care The "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" emphasizes "do not disturb the yang, go to bed early and get up late, and wait for daylight." That is to say, in the cold winter, do not disrupt the body's physiological function of yin and yang conversion by disturbing the yang energy. During the coldest seasons, you should get enough sleep, which is beneficial for the hiding of Yang energy and the accumulation of Yin essence. Wearing too few or too thin clothes or keeping the room temperature too low can easily cause colds and deplete your yang energy. On the contrary, if you wear too many clothes or the room temperature is too high, the pores will open, the Yang Qi will not be hidden, and the cold evil will easily invade. When dressing, we should consider the "clothing climate", which means that the temperature between the inner layer of clothes and the skin should always be maintained at 32℃ ~ 33℃. This ideal "clothing climate" can buffer the invasion of the cold climate outside on the human body.2. Mental adjustment: In winter, people are easily affected by stoves, heaters, dry climate, etc., which can easily make them "get angry" and their moods change. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that anger causes the qi to rise and disturbs the yang energy. Therefore, we should pay attention to emotional regulation in winter. In winter, we should also prevent the occurrence of seasonal affective disorder. The so-called seasonal affective disorder refers to the fact that some people are prone to depression, laziness, drowsiness, drowsiness, etc. in winter, and these phenomena occur year after year. This phenomenon is more common among young people, especially women. The way to prevent it is to get more sun exposure to extend the time of sunlight, which is a natural remedy for regulating mood. 3. Diet adjustment: In winter, you should eat more warm foods to improve the body's ability to withstand cold. The kidney controls salty taste, and the heart controls bitter taste. Salt can overcome bitterness, so in winter, the taste of diet should be less salty and more bitter, following the principle of "less salty and more bitter" to replenish heart qi and strengthen kidney qi. 4. Exercise to strengthen your body. Participate in outdoor activities appropriately in winter to give your body appropriate cold stimulation and make up for insufficient sunlight. After getting up in winter, washing hands and face with cold water is good for the body. It can "awaken yang energy", enhance resistance to cold, help adapt to environmental changes, speed up the heartbeat, deepen breathing, strengthen metabolism in the body, and increase the heat generated by the body. In winter, you can practice Tai Chi, clapping exercises, meridian-dredging exercises, etc.; or do jogging, walking, skipping rope, ball games and other sports. But do not exercise excessively and do not sweat too much to prevent a cold. Avoid exercising in bad weather such as strong winds, heavy fog, rain or snow. |
