Remember to "replenish qi" in health care. These methods of invigorating qi are worth collecting.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that life depends entirely on qi, which is the nutrition of all organizational activities and the main manager of the functional vitality of the five internal organs. So, what are the simple and easy ways to "replenish qi" and "replenish qi"? Next, let's take a look.

Qi Jing Qishen Tea Buzhong Yiqi

30g of Radix Astragali, Rhizoma Polygonati15g, Fructus Lycii10g and Radix Panacis Quinquefolii10g are brewed with boiling water to make tea substitute. This kind of tea is especially suitable for drinking in summer.

Do exercises to tonify the middle energizer.

Every morning, with the navel as the center, gently rub the lower abdomen clockwise with your palm, with slight heat as the degree; Then, rub it with the palm of your hand, press it on your forehead, massage it to your chin from top to bottom, and then massage it back to your forehead from the side along your cheeks, taking the slight heat of your face as the degree. This action is repeated 5~ 10 times. Massage the lower abdomen is helpful for gastrointestinal peristalsis, and massage the face can promote the secretion of body fluid, both of which are helpful for the transportation and transformation of the spleen and stomach.

Jianpi Yiqi Ershu Decoction

Main effects: invigorating spleen, benefiting qi and eliminating dampness.

Recommended crowd: people with head, body and joints discomfort caused by cold and dampness in rainy season.

Materials: Rhizoma Atractylodis 5g, Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae 5g, rice swill 600ml, lean meat 100g, and half candied dates (1~2 people).

Practice: Wash and slice lean meat, wash Atractylodes macrocephala and Atractylodes macrocephala to prepare rice swill (don't rub rice for the first time, gently dust off the rice, rub it hard for the second time, and keep the washed rice water), put the rice swill in a casserole, put Atractylodes macrocephala and Atractylodes macrocephala into the back fire, then continue to cook for half an hour with slow fire, and finally add the meat slices.

Comments: The rainy weather is humid and uncomfortable, and many rheumatic diseases are prone to relapse. Today, I recommend a soup that can warm and tonify cold and dampness. Atractylodes rhizome decoction has the effects of eliminating dampness, strengthening spleen, expelling wind and dispelling cold, and can be used for abdominal distension, diarrhea, edema, rheumatic joint pain, cold and common cold. Atractylodes lancea can dispel wind and dampness externally and dissolve spleen and stomach dampness internally, which is an important drug for eliminating dampness, strengthening spleen and dispelling wind. However, because of its spicy taste, cooking with rice swill can slow down its drying. Atractylodes macrocephala is warm and bitter in taste, and has the effects of invigorating spleen and qi, eliminating dampness and promoting diuresis, and can be used for spleen deficiency, anorexia, abdominal distension, diarrhea and edema. Atractylodes macrocephala is good at transporting spleen and drying dampness, but its nourishing ability is insufficient. Atractylodes macrocephala is good at invigorating spleen and qi, and dispersing more. Use both, use both. Because this soup is warm, it is not suitable for people with yin deficiency, damp heat or internal heat, and it is especially good for people with cold and dampness (such as cold pain in joints, cold pain in upper abdomen, cold limbs, loose stool, long urine, etc.).

Eating Euryale ferox supplements middle energizer and prolongs life.

Euryale ferox, alias chicken head rice, chicken head bud, etc. Gordon Euryale seed is a top-grade medicinal material recorded in Huangdi Neijing, and it is also a commonly used medicinal and edible medicinal material. Shennong's Herbal Classic says that Euryale ferox has the effect of "nourishing middle energizer, benefiting essence, being ambitious, being alert and discerning". "hundred kinds of records of materia medica": "the chicken head is solid and sweet, and it is a medicine for spleen and kidney." Spleen hates dampness and kidney hates dryness. If the chicken's head is light and sweet, it will not hurt wet, but it will be sticky and dry. All drugs for invigorating spleen and kidney are often the opposite, and this one is complementary, so it is particularly expensive. "

Nowadays, middle-aged and elderly people use Euryale ferox as tonic. The simplest thing is to make gorgon porridge like Mr. Su Dongpo: pour 50 grams of fried gorgon into the pot, add water to boil for a while, add 100 grams of washed rice, and the porridge can be eaten. Eating regularly can strengthen the body, strengthen the bones and muscles, and keep the ears and eyes bright. When you eat Euryale ferox, you should chew slowly. Don't eat too much at a time to nourish your body. Middle-aged and elderly people generally like to drink porridge. Rice porridge is nutritious and easy to digest, especially the rice porridge made of nourishing raw materials will have better effect. Euryale ferox is good for cooking porridge. If it is paired with coix seed and yam, it tastes better and has a stronger nourishing effect.

Medical books say that Gordon Euryale has the effect of "prolonging life", while Gordon Euryale records in medical books that "long-term eating can prolong life". Euryale ferox can tonify the middle energizer, refresh the mind and make people smart. Long-term use can make people strong and not hungry, and can also stimulate appetite, invigorate qi, tonify kidney and solidify essence.

Euryale ferox has the advantages of "nourishing but not astringent" and "preventing dryness and not being greasy". Gordon Euryale is superior to yam in tonifying kidney, not inferior to adzuki bean in removing dampness and not inferior to lotus seed in calming nerves. It can be said that it is a kind of buried tonic. Everyone knows that autumn and winter are relatively dry, and Euryale ferox can be moist but not cold, especially Euryale ferox porridge is very nourishing, especially suitable for autumn and winter.

Ganoderma lucidum stewed lean meat, benefiting qi and nourishing heart.

This time, I recommend a Ganoderma lucidum longan lean broth, which is mild in nature and taste and can be taken by the general population, especially the patients with coronary heart disease of qi deficiency and blood stasis type.

Comments: Ganoderma lucidum is sweet and flat, and it is a good product with the same origin of medicine and food. It has the effects of invigorating qi, calming nerves, relieving cough and asthma, and can be used for dizziness, insomnia, palpitation, shortness of breath, neurasthenia, and mental fatigue.

Longan meat, also known as Longan meat, is named because its fruit is round and shiny, like the legendary dragon's eyes. Longan meat is sweet in taste and warm in nature. It has the effects of nourishing the heart and spleen, nourishing blood and calming the nerves, strengthening the spleen and stopping diarrhea, and inducing diuresis to reduce swelling. It is suitable for weak body, sallow complexion, deficiency of qi and blood, neurasthenia, amnesia and insomnia after illness. Notoginseng Radix has the effects of removing blood stasis, stopping bleeding, relieving swelling and pain, and can be used for hemoptysis, hematemesis, hematochezia, metrorrhagia, traumatic hemorrhage, traumatic injury, swelling and pain. Lean pork can nourish yin, moisten dryness and promote fluid production, and the soup is fresh and sweet. A combination of several medicines can nourish the heart and remove blood stasis.

Six-word proverbs of TCM health preservation

TCM health preservation is not as simple as a few prescriptions, herbs and acupoints, but its profound connotation can be summarized in six words, namely, smoothness, calmness, repair, adjustment, supplement and consolidation:

"Shun": Health care should be "harmony between man and nature", and diet, daily life, food, clothing, housing and transportation should be adjusted according to the changes of seasons. Everything grows in spring, and it is necessary to nourish the liver and yang; Summer is the growing season, so you should nourish your heart, stay up late and get up early, and be less angry. It is hot and humid in midsummer, so we should pay attention to strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness. Autumn is the harvest season, so you should nourish your lungs and yin, go to bed early and get up early, and be calm, otherwise you will hurt your lungs; In winter, we should pay attention to nourishing Tibet, kidney and yin, get more sunshine, go to bed early and get up late.

"Quiet": it is to calm the mind. You can sit still and close your eyes to rest your body and slow down your mind. This can reduce a lot of unnecessary consumption, especially the consumption of "qi", thus preventing diseases and prolonging life. Huangdi Neijing said: "Nothing is indifferent, the true qi follows, the spirit is hidden inside, and the disease is always safe." Only by being calm can we "rest at ease" and achieve the goal of preventing diseases and prolonging life.

Xiu: "If there is a good family, there must be Qing Yu." In fact, people who usually accumulate virtue and do good deeds and are open-minded can often live in harmony with the world, reduce a lot of troubles and feel happy. It can be seen that you will gain health, happiness and longevity by cultivating your self-cultivation, being tolerant and kind to others.

"pranayama": namely "pranayama", practice breathing and breathing. Huangdi Neijing emphasizes regulating breathing. The lung is the prime minister, and its physiological function is to control qi and breath. Under normal physiological conditions, the fluctuation of lung qi makes the airway of the whole body unobstructed, and the gas inside and outside the body can be exchanged, which plays a regulatory role in the operation and excretion of water and fluid in the body. If there is something wrong with the function of the lung, it is not only the pathological changes of the lung itself, but also the symptoms of phlegm and edema. Therefore, take more deep breaths and breathe slowly and evenly. You can practice "dantian breath". After inhaling through the nose, you can send the breath to the position of the lower abdomen, that is, under the navel 1.5 inch, and then exhale slowly to achieve the purpose of "pranayama".

"Tonifying": Nourishing must first dialectically identify the constitution, whether it is cold or hot, whether it is virtual or real. If it is deficiency syndrome, we should also distinguish between yin deficiency, yang deficiency, qi deficiency or blood deficiency. It varies from person to person, and appropriate drugs and food supplements should be given according to physical fitness. Ginseng, Radix Codonopsis, Radix Astragali, etc. It can be used as a medicine tonic for qi deficiency, and can be eaten as a food tonic, such as staple food, chicken soup, chicken, duck and fish. Blood-enriching drugs can be Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Colla Corii Asini, Fructus Lycii, etc. The food supplement can be jujube, pig liver and various red meats. The tonic for nourishing yin can be Radix Adenophorae, Radix Ophiopogonis, Carapax Trionycis, Cordyceps, Rhizoma Polygonati, Herba Dendrobii, etc. The food supplement can be duck, sea cucumber, turtle, etc. Chinese herbs for strengthening yang include velvet antler, Psoralea corylifolia, Cistanche deserticola, Morinda officinalis, Semen Astragali Complanati, etc. The dietary supplement can be river shrimp, sea shrimp, sea cucumber, walnut kernel, beef and mutton, dog meat, leek, etc. Diet should be adjusted according to seasonal changes: in spring, you should raise your liver and eat more bean sprouts, bean sprouts, strawberries and pineapples. Eating bitter food in summer can dispel the heart fire, so eat more melon beans in season; In autumn, you should eat more nuts such as seasonal fruits and chestnuts, and also eat lily, lotus root, almond and ginkgo that moisten the lungs. In winter, we should raise Tibet and eat more root foods, such as yam, potato, sweet potato, radish and cabbage.

"Solid" includes three aspects: solid essence, solid qi and solid spirit. Fixing sperm is to protect kidney qi, and the most important thing is to control sexual desire. In addition, you can also eat some foods that nourish kidney essence, including all kinds of meat, and you can also eat yam, Polygonatum sibiricum, Lycium barbarum and so on. Fixing qi means consuming less gas, talking less, sunbathing more, staying up late more, doing more aerobic exercise, bringing Shui Gu essence and supplementing yang through diet. To strengthen the mind, it is necessary to nurse the seven emotions: joy, anger, worry, thinking, sadness and fear. If you control your emotions well, your body will suffer less damage.
