How to regulate a woman's limbs

BY Iris Wheatley 2020-06-21

   "Oh, doctor, my hands are cold all year round, I think many girls around me are like this, aren''t they sick?" Indeed, like this, the lower limbs are not only cold in autumn and winter, but also hot There are many people who are also cold in summer, and the examination is usually not abnormal. However, everyone thinks that they are free of disease when they see this, and they think that they do not need treatment.

   I even heard some doctors tell her: It will be fine after getting married. It is really speechless about this kind of understanding. We are living in feelings, not living in a state where we have to have problems with the examination to say that we are sick Don''t mislead if you can''t cure it. Many married people have cold limbs.

   In fact, Chinese medicine refers to cold hands and feet as "limb cold." Those who are colder than the wrist and ankle are called "jug"; those who are colder than the elbow and knee are called "reverse". Those who are weak are called "jue cold" and those who are heavy are called "jujube". It is generally believed that the limbs are cold, mostly cold syndromes, called "cold Jue" or "Yin Jue".

   So, how did Chinese medicine treat it? As early as in its "Treatise on Febrile Diseases": "The hands and feet are cold, and the pulse is desperate, the owner of Angelica Sini Decoction." This side has Wenjing The power of dissipating cold and nourishing blood and channeling blood, a famous "limb cold" prescription created by the medical sage Zhang Zhongjing, brought the gospel to many women. The prescription is composed of Angelica, Guizhi, Paeonia lactiflora, Asarum, Zhigancao, Tongcao, and Jujube. There are not many medicines, and the effect is not bad.

  Winter is coming, everyone loves to eat lamb, then there is also a recipe for Angelica ginger lamb soup, which can not be missed as a foodie. This is a therapeutic side, and it can also treat cold limbs. Fang Zhongxuan Angelica is used to invigorate the blood, regulate menstruation and relieve pain, and is accompanied by ginger for warming Yang and dispelling cold. And mutton is a kind of meat food with warm nature, which has the effect of replenishing deficiency in the warmth.

  The combination of the three has the effects of warming the blood and regulating menstruation and analgesia. It is most suitable for the symptoms of blood deficiency and cold. For example, women have dizziness and fatigue after giving birth, cold waist, cold abdomen, and faint pain. Taking this prescription often has good effects. For anemia patients who are particularly afraid of cold in winter, eating meat and soup can also be greedy.

   In clinical practice, I also prefer to use Zhang Zhongjing''s Wenjing Decoction, which can not only treat infertility, dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation caused by body cold, but also has a good effect on patients with cold limbs.

   These prescriptions are conditional. For those who are usually afraid of heat, easy to get angry, mouth ulcers, hand, foot and heart heat, as well as those who feel wind and heat, and fever and sore throat, do not take advantage of it. If you also follow the heat and eat the above prescriptions, don’t blame me if you are angry No reminder.
