Women should not be cold "three inches below the navel"

Cold is the root of all trouble. Cold women have poor blood circulation, which can cause cold hands and feet and even dysmenorrhea. If the blood circulation is not smooth, spots will appear on the face. The energy in the body cannot moisturize the skin and the skin will lose its vitality. Many women have skin as perfect as fine porcelain, but it does not look youthful at all and feels fake; whereas some young women are still very energetic no matter how many acne they have. What's even more frightening is that a woman's reproductive system, including the "three inches below the navel", is the most afraid of cold. Once the body is too cold, it will choose to grow more fat to keep warm, and fat will grow under the navel, causing "poor qi and blood". If it is kept warm and has sufficient qi and blood, these fat will no longer be necessary and will automatically run away, so that "warm uterus and conceive a child" can be achieved.

1. The four main reasons why women have cold constitution, cold hands and feet, and are prone to dysmenorrhea

1. Fear of obesity leads to dieting, which leads to malnutrition.

Many women are afraid of fat and dare not eat red meat. They only eat vegetables and fruits, which are mostly cold in nature. In fact, red meat is a blessing for women, especially beef and mutton, which contain a lot of iron and can effectively prevent anemia. Girls with anemia will naturally look pale.

2. Reduce computer radiation and exercise.

I sit in front of the computer at work every day, and watch TV lying down after get off work. Wearing high heels is really not suitable for active activities. When I go out on a date, my boyfriend drives to pick me up, and I buy a gym membership but don’t use it more than twice a year. Because of sitting too much, blood has accumulated in the lower abdomen. "Running water does not rot." If stagnant blood accumulates in the pelvic cavity, how can the pelvic cavity not develop inflammation? Once there is inflammation, the face will naturally turn yellow and develop spots. Even if it does not cause inflammation, the blocked blood flow in the skin's capillaries will cause uneven skin tone.

3. Wearing a corset for beauty will make your lower back colder.

In order to make their bodies slimmer and more graceful, some women use corsets to tie their waists tightly, but this is actually harmful to their health. If the binding is too tight, there will be a problem of insufficient blood supply to the reproductive system, and the area below the waist will be colder, which will cause more fat to grow. It is now popular to wear skirts in winter, with only a pair of thin socks on the legs and feet, which makes the whole lower body cold, which also means "the cold starts from the feet."

4. I love drinking herbal tea to avoid acne.

Women are afraid of cold, so it is best for them to avoid contact with cold Chinese medicine. People who get acne don’t have too much yang energy, but because they have yin deficiency. Yin cannot contain yang, so instead of damaging their yang, it is better to nourish yin. In southern provinces where people drink a lot of herbal tea, such as Guangdong and Guangxi, women develop more severe facial spots after giving birth (the fat after giving birth is not gained during the confinement period, but is caused by childbirth causing wounds and inflammation in the reproductive system, which is more fragile during recovery and is afraid of cold and needs more fat protection).

Among herbal teas, some are for nourishing yin and replenishing qi and can be taken, but those that are too cold should not be used. For example, it is popular among girls to eat aloe vera raw, which is scary. Rhein, the most effective ingredient in aloe vera, is extremely cold. Aloe vera can be used externally to treat burns, so you can imagine how cold it is. It is better to eat less of it if you have nothing to do.

2. Women’s way to get rid of cold hands and feet

1. Eat more foods containing iron. Women should not be cold beauties. They should eat more foods such as red meat, ginger, red dates, animal blood, glutinous rice wine, cherries... that is, foods that are rich in iron or relatively mild.

2. Keep warm and avoid catching cold. Always keep warm, don't drink anything too cold, drink more hot drinks; don't stay in the air-conditioned room all the time, don't just care about style over temperature, and don't wear belly-baring clothes when the weather is cold. The best way to keep warm in winter is to soak in hot water. Soak in hot water for thirty minutes and massage your body, and even the coldest body will be warmed up. It’s okay if you can’t take a bath or soak your feet. If all else fails, hold a cup of hot water or a hot water bottle to warm your body all day.

3. Qi can circulate blood, so how can we prevent blood from stagnating in the waist?

If you want to prevent blood stasis from accumulating in the waist, the best way is of course to actively warm yourself up. The most effective way is to do some stretching exercises for the waist, abdomen and inner thighs, such as stretching the legs and bending forward and backward in the morning, which can promote blood circulation. However, when exercising with the waist as the focus, do not be too hasty, otherwise more blood will accumulate in the waist once you stop. Gentle yoga is effective, and Latin dance is also good. But yoga is more recommended because yoga focuses more on breathing, and blood can flow only when qi flows.

4. What are the traditional Chinese medicines and foods that can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis?

Women should pay attention to taking some Chinese medicine and food that can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. However, you must be very careful about this. Not everyone has blood stasis. Excessive blood stasis removal may harm the body, such as causing excessive menstrual flow. Therefore, you can judge based on the amount of menstrual blood, the viscosity of the menstrual blood, and whether there are spots on the face. Traditional Chinese medicines that can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis include: Motherwort, peach blossom, peach kernel, and safflower. These medicines are arranged from mild to strong, and the stronger they are, the more powerful they are. It is recommended to take only the first two. It can be brewed as tea (hot tea), and it is more effective to use peach blossoms to brew wine. These teas and wines can also be used to wipe the face to remove dark spots on the face.

5. One of the elements of women's metabolism is hormones

From menstruation to menopause, a woman has more than 400 eggs. Every time one is used, one less egg is produced. Once they are all used up, her fate as a little beauty is basically over. She can only try her best to be an elegant old lady. Every ovulation process is a hormone metabolism process. Women with normal hormone levels in their bodies have rosy and delicate complexions. Women with poor metabolism will have various problems on their faces.

Of course, too much hormone is not good either, as it can cause mastitis and breast hyperplasia, which is what artificial hormones do. Natural hormones are different. Many of them have bidirectional regulatory functions and can inhibit excessive hormones. Therefore, we should oppose the use of artificial synthetic hormones, and especially be wary of hormones in cosmetics. Foods containing natural hormones include pomegranate, yam, angelica, fennel, snow frog, royal jelly, etc. The most effective way is to drink soy milk, because soybeans contain trace amounts of estrogen with bidirectional regulatory functions, and it is cheap and can be drunk like water.

It is said that Japanese women's menopause is later than that of Western women due to their large intake of soy products. According to a survey, before the age of 40, it is enough for women to take soy; if you start drinking royal jelly after the age of 40, it can delay menopause and alleviate menopausal symptoms. Soy milk and royal jelly can both be used externally. Raw fresh soy milk can be used to make a hydrating facial mask, the dregs of soy milk can be used to massage the body and exfoliate, and royal jelly can also be used to wipe the face. They are cheaper and more natural than cosmetics and are all good things.

6. What is the common saying of "warm uterus to conceive"?

Women should cherish their bodies after marriage. If you do not pay attention to hygiene or have frequent abortions, which causes adhesions or inflammation, the entire reproductive system will be severely damaged. No matter how much you take care of yourself, it will be difficult to have a delicate appearance. An ectopic pregnancy can result in the loss of the entire function. In one case, if a woman suspects she is infertile, it is safer to use conservative Chinese medicine and exercise methods.

Do not use Western medicine's ovulation-stimulating drugs lightly. Once used too much, the ovarian function will be severely suppressed or even prematurely aged, and the foundation of youth will be lost. It is often said that "warm uterus can lead to pregnancy". As long as the blood circulation in the uterus and pelvic cavity is unblocked and the inflammation is eliminated, pregnancy will come naturally. The indiscriminate use of ovulation-stimulating drugs is as terrible as "killing the chicken to get the eggs".
