Why does the cold weather hurt your waist and legs?

Older people should have this experience. When the weather gets cold, their waist and legs will hurt. When the weather gets warmer, the pain will be relieved. Why?

That's what Chinese medicine sees. He doesn't look at local inflammation, but at the patency of the whole blood vessel. Why does it hurt when it is cold and relieve when it is hot? Because human blood is related to the physics of nature, it is called heat expansion and cold contraction. In hot weather, the air flow is smooth, the pipeline becomes thicker, and it is not easy to block locally, and it is not easy to cause inflammation and pain. Once the weather is cold, blood vessels contract and qi and blood cannot pass through, it is easy to cause congestion and inflammation. So this is a problem of overall cold and heat, not a problem of local inflammation. This is called cold coagulation and blood stasis. If the pulse is blocked, it will hurt.

We can smoke with moxa sticks, soak peppers in alcohol for external application, soak onions in red wine for internal use, or make slimming porridge and get some cinnamon powder mixed with porridge. In short, it is to force the cold out and let the blood circulate, then the disease will heal itself.
