What should girls do if they are afraid of cold?

When girls are afraid of cold, it may be due to qi deficiency, or it may be due to the arrival of menstruation or colds and fevers. Therefore, women should pay attention to keeping warm when they are afraid of cold. They can unclog their pores and massage their abdomen when taking a bath. They can also perform moxibustion and cupping on a regular basis, mainly to expel moisture from the body, so that we will no longer be afraid of cold.

3 ways to get your blood moving

1. Take a bath to unclog pores

The skin where the pores are located is the tissue with the largest detoxification area in the human body. The human body can excrete excess heat and waste through sweating. Now it is winter and the weather is cold so the human body rarely sweats, which can also lead to poor blood circulation. First of all, the warm water temperature when taking a hot bath can accelerate the blood flow in the human body, stimulate the body to sweat, and thus make the qi and blood flow smoothly. Secondly, hot water can unclog pores and force out pathogens in the body, thus playing a role in preventing diseases. In addition, you can also use some Chinese herbal medicines to unclog the pores, such as ginger, patchouli, and green onion. These Chinese herbal medicines can invigorate blood circulation and energy, and expel the body's pathogenic factors from the inside out.

2. Massage to keep your intestines clear

80% of the human body's lymphatic system is in the intestines. If the intestines are blocked, diseases will naturally occur. In fact, clearing the intestines also clears the urination and defecation. First of all, we can massage our stomach. Because the human body's metabolism is slow in winter, the intestines will also be affected. External stimulation can accelerate intestinal peristalsis, making the body unobstructed, qi and blood active, and reducing the incidence of diseases. Secondly, clearing the intestines also requires the participation of water. Water can accelerate metabolism, activate qi and blood, increase urine volume, detoxify and reduce illness.

3. Rub your face to clear your five sense organs and seven orifices

The five senses and seven orifices of the human body have a corresponding relationship with the five internal organs and six bowels of the body, so massaging the five senses and seven orifices is also massaging our five internal organs. First of all, rubbing the face can promote blood circulation in the face, activate the qi and blood in the face, and can beautify the face and prevent frostbite and colds in winter. Secondly, massaging our five senses can promote blood circulation. In traditional Chinese medicine, the heart opens to the tongue, the liver opens to the eyes, the lungs open to the nose, the kidneys open to the ears, the spleen opens to the mouth, and so on. Therefore, massaging our five senses is also indirectly massaging our internal organs. We can move our tongue more, apply hot compresses and do eye exercises on our eyes, clean our noses with salt water to prevent respiratory diseases, and rubbing our ears can replenish kidney qi.

Therefore, if we want to activate our qi and blood, massaging our five senses and seven orifices is one method.
