If winter diseases are not stored smoothly, tension, soreness, pain, and limited movement in the neck, back, waist, and buttocks will inevitably occur, especially in the waist.

Because the waist is the home of the kidneys, and the kidneys are the internal organs corresponding to winter, so "Suwen. Jin Guizhen Comments" states: "The north wind is born in winter, the disease is in the kidneys, and the Yu is in the waist and thighs" ?, thigh means thigh, so the area below the waist, to the buttocks and knee joints are the areas most susceptible to winter diseases. In addition, the climate is cold in winter. If one's own yang energy is insufficient and insufficient protection is achieved, cold evil will inevitably invade, especially the joints, such as the knee joints. Therefore, knee joint disease (old cold legs) is also a disease that is highly prevalent in winter.
