Recently, many people complain of leg swelling, leg pain, discomfort, and no place to sleep at night. Because the yang energy rises in autumn and the cold air sinks, the legs and lower limbs of people with blocked meridians will be heavy and uncomfortable!
The legs are the base camp of cold air
The legs are the “main transportation arteries”, and there are three yin meridians gathered here: the foot Taiyin spleen meridian (spleen unified blood), the foot shaoyin kidney meridian (kidney blood), and the foot jueyin liver meridian (liver blood storage). There are many gynecological points on these meridians, such asBlood Sea Cave, earth machine point, and three yin intersection pointsWait. The health of the legs affects the health of the whole body, and raising legs is a lifelong matter.
1Gynecological diseases
Once the legs are cold, blood stasis will occur, and it will be difficult for qi and blood to descend, which will directly lead to reduced menstrual flow, delayed menstruation, dysmenorrhea and even amenorrhea in womenwaitQi and blood stasisIn the pelvis, it will formPelvic polyps, ovarian cysts, etc.
2heart disease
The body’s blood runs on arteries and veins. Venous return of the legs mainly depends on the contraction of the calf muscles, so taking good care of the calves is equivalent to adding a “pump” to the lower part of the body, which can help the heart.The cold legs will affect the contractile function of the calf muscles, and the venous blood accumulated in waste will be difficult to return to the heart through capillaries, venules and veins, which will induce heart disease in the long run.
3senescence
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that people have “four roots” – ear roots, nose roots, nipple roots, and foot roots, and the root of the “four roots” is the root of the foot. Only when the feet are healthy and the meridians are smooth can qi and blood be smoothly sent to various organs, and life activities can be carried out normally.On the contrary, if the legs are cold for a long time, the speed and accuracy of command transmission between the legs and the brain will decrease, which will affect the health of the whole body and affect life expectancy.
4Humidity is dense
The legs are responsible for storing blood, and 50% of the nerves, blood vessels, and blood in the human body are concentrated in the legs. The legs are cold, and when they encounter moisture, they will wrap around each other, forming cold and dampness.Dampness is a heavy and turbid substance, similar to water belonging to yin, and the lower part of the human body also belongs to yin, and the same kind is sought after each other, so it isDampness is a disease, often injuring the lower part of the human body, like the common oneDiseases such as edema and eczema are more common in the lower limbs.The calf is the main position of the spleen meridian, and the spleen mainly transports water and dampness, so the edema caused by spleen deficiency is mainly reflected in the legs, such as sore and swollen calves, fatigue in the legs, and edema in the lower limbs, which are mostly manifestations of water and dampness accumulation.
5The upper part is hot and the lower part is cold
The cold is the main contraction of condensation, the legs are cold, and the blood will be stagnant, resulting in poor circulation in the legs, and the energy of the legs will be blocked, where will the excess energy go?If you have to go up, the upper body will be too angry, and people will be prone to anger.If you often feel back pain in your life, feel tired after not doing anything, your legs are swollen, you are cold, your limbs are cold, and your urine is small and clear; Women’s menstruation is always pushed back, the amount is small, and the lower abdomen is often bloated and painful or the menstrual blood clots are dark and dark, etc., which should be paid attention to, which is a typical symptom of yang deficiency. Especially below the waist, you can’t afford to press it, and you even feel abdominal distension and pain, so be careful.In this case, changing bad living habits is the root cause. Do not eat raw cold and spicy foods, and avoid cold or greasy and indigestible foods, such as japonica rice, tofu, pork, peanuts, bananas, etc.; those with constipation should not eat glutinous rice; People with diarrhea should avoid eating milk, sea cucumbers, shrimp and other foods with laxative effects. Pay attention to keeping warm and don’t stay up late.
