Hello, teacher. I want to ask why the skin itches in winter. One is in the east and the other is in the west. I scratched my skin everywhere, and it still itches.

I feel that you may be the performance of blood-dried skin in winter, so I will write about the internal and external conditioning of blood-dried skin:

Internal medicine: nourishing blood, nourishing yin and replenishing water.

1, drink more water. Drinking more water is the most direct way to replenish water. Adults need at least 4000ml of water from diet and drinking water every day, and drink more water in winter. Although there is no regulation on how many glasses of water to drink every day, you should get into the habit of drinking water. Don't be afraid to run to the toilet often, and don't feel thirsty or dry is the most basic requirement. Never drink water after you are thirsty, which shows that your body is already in a state of water shortage.

2. Eat more foods that nourish blood, nourish yin and moisten dryness. Since itching is inseparable from blood dryness, it is necessary to start from the most fundamental point, and of course it is necessary to nourish blood and nourish yin. You can eat Angelica sinensis, Radix Rehmanniae and Radix Rehmanniae Preparata properly, and you can also use materials such as Radix Adenophorae, Radix Ophiopogonis and Lily to make soup. At the same time, you can eat more moist fruits and vegetables; Eating too much chicken feet, pig's trotters and beef tendon rich in bone collagen has a good effect on moisturizing and oil production.

3. Avoid eating hot and dry food and seafood. If you want good skin, you should also keep your mouth shut. When itching occurs again, avoid contact with peppers and hot pots, and also avoid contact with irritants such as cigarettes, wine, strong tea and coffee.

Foreigner: Moisturizing is the most important thing.

1, keep indoor comfortable humidity. It is understood that the healthy relative humidity environment is 45%-65%. In this environment, the human body feels most comfortable and germs are not easy to spread. But maintaining this humidity in winter requires human efforts. Yan Aizhen suggested that indoor humidity can be increased by mopping the floor, using humidifiers, placing hydroponic green plants indoors and even sprinkling water. However, it should be noted that people should not be too greedy when using humidifiers. The greater the humidity, the better. If the humidity is too high, the human immunity will decrease and it is easy to feel tired.

2, bath water should not be overheated. Improper bathing method is also one of the causes of itching. As the temperature drops, taking a beautiful hot bath is the most comfortable thing. However, if the temperature of the bath water is too high, a lot of oil on the skin surface will be lost and the protective function will be destroyed. Therefore, the temperature of the bath water is similar to the body temperature, and 37-40℃ is the most suitable. At the same time, for southerners who take a bath every day, the use of shower gel also needs attention. Some people think that skin itching is not clean when taking a bath, so rubbing with shower gel will make the skin drier and the itching worse. Therefore, Yan Aizhen suggested that you can use shower gel every one or two days in winter, and only take a bath with warm water at other times, because the decontamination ability of warm water is also sufficient. After the body is dry, you should apply moisturizing cream at the first time to moisturize your skin. In addition, it is especially recommended to drink a cup of warm water before and after bathing, which can replenish the water lost by the body during bathing.

3. Do not use the heater for a long time. When it is cold, the family will use a heater without sweeping, but whether it is an electric blanket or a quartz tube. If the air heater or air conditioner is used for a long time, not only the local heating parts will dry, but also the whole human body will dry. Therefore, heater should not be used for a long time. It is best to pause after the body feels warm, and don't just keep baking a certain part of the body; At the same time, we should cooperate with method one, increase indoor humidity and drink more water.

I hope it works for you. . .
