Don’t be greedy for coolness during Grain Full, and diseases will not invade

The Grain Full solar term is in late May, when the temperature rises significantly. Many people have the habit of sleeping in the cool. If they do not pay attention to keeping warm at this time, it is easy to develop rheumatism, wet skin diseases and other diseases. In the health preservation during the Grain Full solar term, we should follow the principle of "prevention before illness", that is, before getting sick, we should do all kinds of preventive work to prevent the occurrence of disease. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the human body is an organic whole, with various parts interconnected and influencing each other, and that humans are also closely related to the external environment. Therefore, people need to adapt to changes in nature, adjust themselves according to changes in the internal and external environment, and achieve self-prevention and health care. Traditional Chinese medicine also believes that the occurrence of disease is closely related to the body's positive energy and external evil energy. The invasion of external evil qi into the human body and the resulting disease is an important condition for the occurrence of the disease. If the body's positive qi is insufficient, the invasion of external evil qi will cause the disease. Therefore, positive qi is the internal cause and basis for the occurrence of the disease. Under certain conditions, the status of the two will transform. In short, disease prevention should start from two aspects: strengthening the body's positive energy and preventing the invasion of pathogenic factors.

Daily life and health

The temperature rises significantly and the rainfall increases during the Grain Full season, but it is still cooler in the mornings and evenings, and the temperature difference between day and night is also larger. The temperature drop after the rain is more obvious. Therefore, don't be greedy for coolness in life. You can cover yourself with a thin quilt when you sleep to avoid catching a cold at night and causing colds and other diseases. At the same time, pay attention to changes in temperature and add clothes in time. You should have a regular schedule, go to bed late and get up early, but make sure you get enough sleep to stay energetic.

Diet and Health

During the Grain Full period, the amount of rain increases and the weather becomes hot and humid, which Chinese medicine calls "evil dampness". The human spleen "likes dryness and hates dampness", so it is very susceptible to the influence of "evil dampness". When dampness invades the human body, it often causes symptoms such as abdominal distension, diarrhea, mental fatigue, limb weakness, and drowsiness. Traditional Chinese medicine calls these symptoms "dampness blocking the body." For this reason, health care during the Grain Full season should focus on strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness. Eating more foods that have the effects of clearing away heat, strengthening the spleen and removing dampness can also effectively prevent skin diseases.

Rubella is prone to occur during Grain Rain, so preventive measures should be taken

The Grain Full solar term is also a peak period for skin diseases, the most common of which is rubella. "Golden Medical Essentials." "Zhongfeng Lijie Pian" said: "When evil qi invades the meridians, the body will itch and develop rashes." Ancient doctors have long been aware of this disease. There are three main causes of "rubella": first, dampness accumulates in the skin, and is accompanied by wind-heat or wind-cold, which fights with dampness and accumulates in the skin and fur, causing the disease; second, it is due to heat accumulation in the stomach and intestines, and wind evil, which cannot be discharged inside and cannot be penetrated outside, and accumulates in the skin and fur; third, it is related to physical fitness. Allergies to foods such as fish, shrimp, and crabs lead to disharmony between the spleen and stomach, dampness and heat, which accumulate in the skin and cause this disease. Rubella can occur anywhere on the body with rapid onset. Rashes of varying sizes may suddenly appear on the skin, in lumps or patches, or in the form of papules, one after another, with varying densities, and are accompanied by abnormal itching of the skin, which may be alleviated or aggravated by the temperature of the climate. Once we understand the mechanism of the disease, we can take preventive measures to avoid the occurrence of rubella.
When Grain Full comes, the temperature rises noticeably and the weather turns completely hot, entering the "third qi" in qi theory, that is, the third qi of the main qi, which is the qi of Shaoyang fire, which can easily lead to problems such as heatstroke and yin deficiency. What should we do to adapt well to the changes of seasons? Next, I will tell you the secret of keeping healthy during Xiaoman.

Emotional Health

During the Grain Full season, wind and fire are out of balance, and people often feel irritable and restless due to this. At this time, they should pay attention to adjusting their emotions. Simply put, it means keeping a good mood, broad-minded, and avoiding negative emotions such as depression and sadness. If you have time, you should participate in more activities that can nourish your temperament, such as playing chess, fishing, practicing calligraphy, etc., to relieve the tension of your body and mind. At the same time, you can also participate in more relaxing outdoor exercises such as jogging and walking in the early morning or evening. During the exercise, you can relax your body and breathe fresh air, which is very beneficial for regulating your emotions.
