Baduanjin weather

The news of the once-in-a-lifetime winter in recent 60 years, coupled with cold air, rain and snow, flooded our lives, leaving us in the north struggling between beautiful women and frozen people, and posting snow scenes in our circle of friends and personal accounts in order to show off in front of people who have never seen snow all the year round. However, this kind of weather makes hypothyroidism patients, who are already afraid of cold, eager to master the technology of hibernation and spend the winter in ignorance.

Why are hypothyroid patients so afraid of cold?

This should start with the etiology and pathogenesis of hypothyroidism. Generally, hypothyroidism patients are divided into two categories. One is traumatic hypothyroidism, that is, hypothyroidism caused by other diseases, such as thyroidectomy, iodine 13 1 treatment of hyperthyroidism and goiter. This situation is incurable, and the missing part can only be supplemented by oral thyroxine. The second type is primary hypothyroidism, that is, hypothyroidism caused by the hormone secreted by the thyroid gland itself is not up to standard, which can be recovered by conditioning with traditional Chinese medicine.

In addition to traumatic hypothyroidism, Chinese medicine believes that the causes of hypothyroidism are mostly qi deficiency and yang deficiency, mostly caused by liver and kidney deficiency, which can be seen from the performance of patients. Most patients with thyroid diseases are characterized by low metabolism, such as fear of cold, alopecia, lack of breathing, laziness, indifference, edema and obesity. Yang is the fire of life, which has the functions of warming the five internal organs and maintaining their operation and metabolism. Yang deficiency and weak temperature lead to weakness of spleen and stomach, poor circulation of qi and blood, and then chills, mental fatigue, edema and obesity due to abnormal metabolism of water and dampness. Therefore, Chinese medicine treatment often takes warming and nourishing liver and kidney as the treatment principle.

Patients with hypothyroidism want to warm up for the winter. In addition to active treatment, they can often do some exercise, which can not only generate heat and consume excess heat, but also dredge meridians and warm their lives. This is the most widely circulated Baduan Brocade in China's ancient biography. Today, we will talk about two vertical eight-segment brocade in Shaolin.

Climb your feet with both hands first to strengthen your kidney and waist.

Operation essentials: massage with both hands along the meridians, pull the bladder meridian, stimulate points such as Du meridian, Mingmen, adrenal gland and Shenshu, and get up after climbing. It can effectively stretch the kidney meridian of foot-deficiency yin, and achieve the effects of invigorating the qi of the middle meridian and strengthening the kidney and waist.

"Waist is the house of kidney", stretching and massaging the waist can shrink capillaries, return blood, promote blood circulation and accelerate the elimination of metabolites, which is what Chinese medicine calls smooth meridians. If the kidneys are well nourished, the fire of life will flourish, the internal organs will be effectively warmed, the metabolism will be carried out in an orderly manner, and people will not be afraid of the cold.

Second, behind the seven lumps, all the diseases disappeared.

Exercise can't "kill all diseases", but it can prevent and treat diseases through long-term exercise.

Action essentials: stand on tiptoe, grab the ground with tiptoe, and land with heel after a while, and repeat for seven times.

Lifting feet can stimulate plantar acupoints, promote blood circulation of lower limbs and dredge meridians. Tiaojiao can stimulate the kidney meridian system, drive the whole body to vibrate, massage the five internal organs, and help the whole body to have smooth qi and blood, thus achieving the effect of preventing and treating diseases. Especially when the legs and feet feel cold, the feet will warm up immediately after this style is finished.

The difficulty coefficient of these two movements is not big, and the requirements for strength are not high. Sweating slightly after finishing, but the maintenance effect on kidney meridian should not be underestimated. Yu Youren, a famous calligrapher in modern China, insisted on practicing Baduanjin at four o'clock every afternoon, and the fitness effect was very obvious.

Patients with hypothyroidism should practice quickly, and it would be better if they could persist in practicing the whole set of Baduanjin.
