Wang Dayuan said that the winter solstice is the turning point of the yin and yang of the human body. There is an ancient saying: "Qi begins at the winter solstice and regenerates every week."

Therefore, the winter solstice tonic needs to master the four principles of clearing, clearing, nourishing and nourishing:
Principle 1. Pass
If you have poor defecation and thick and greasy tongue coating every day, especially after 3 or 4 pm, you are listless like a walking dead, but you seem irritable and difficult to fall asleep at night, this is because there are metabolic wastes clogged in the body due to phlegm, dampness, blood stasis and heat , the false weakness presented, what is needed at this time is "pass".
For patients with empirical evidence, the best way to nourish in winter is not tonic, but laxative. If you can defecate smoothly in winter, the effect will be better.
For example, eating high-fiber fruits or massaging the lower abdomen can effectively promote gastrointestinal motility.
Principle 2. Clear
For patients with autoimmune diseases, such as lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis, what is needed on the winter solstice is not nourishment, because excessive nourishment will cause the autoimmune system to become overactive, and patients need supplementation. It is to "clear" to achieve nourishment.
Warm service of lotus root tea with brown sugar ginger is a good way. A small amount of brown sugar ginger is added to the lotus root tea, so that the characteristics of the whole lotus root can be brought into some warmth from the flatness, and it can adapt to the change of temperature throughout the winter solstice, and promote circulation to achieve cleansing. Effect.
Principle 3. Raise
"Nursing" is like a light, moisturising spray, and "nourishing" can be started from daily life, obtaining nutrition from natural ingredients, such as onions, ginger, garlic, pears, white fungus, etc., or peach gum and flower gum And other colloid-rich foods can also be boiled into tea with 3 qian of Northern Radix Ginseng, 3 qian of Polygonatum Polygonatum, 3 qian of Ophiopogon japonicus, 3 qian of Rehmannia glutinosa, and 3 qian of Scrophulariae Scrophulariae. After drinking, the whole body will feel warm and moist.
Principle 4. Supplement
"Tonic" is like drinking a bowl of water at a time, the key lies in the level of moisture, such as a bowl of delicious ginger duck, pork ribs stewed with medicine, Shiquan Dabu soup, etc., but the premise is that there is no blood stasis to block phlegm heat Physical fitness, otherwise the more you eat, the more uncomfortable you will be.
