What are the causes of body deficiency and cold uterus and how to treat it?

When women chat, they often bring up a topic, which is that they always feel their hands and feet are cold when they sleep at night in winter, and it is not easy to warm them up. In fact, female friends also know that this is because of the cold constitution, but they generally don’t pay too much attention to it. However, the cold uterus caused by the cold constitution cannot be ignored, because it will cause great harm to the female body. The following is a detailed explanation of the conditioning methods for physical weakness and cold uterus.

Cause of uterine cold 1: constitution

Some women are born with a cold constitution: their limbs are easily cold, they are particularly sensitive to cooler weather, their faces are paler than average people, they like to drink hot drinks, they are rarely thirsty, they are afraid of cold in winter and resistant to heat in summer. A cold constitution is mostly caused by acquired factors, such as living in a cold environment, a preference for cold food, overwork or irritability that damages the body's yang energy... These are common problems that make the body cold.

In addition, there are also genetic factors. Perhaps your parents have a cold constitution, or they were older when you were born and their body yang energy was gradually decreasing, which would directly lead to the code for a cold constitution being written into your genes. Even if you are in the same conditions as others, you are more likely to experience symptoms of uterine cold, so in addition to being careful to prevent the cold, you must also keep your body warm over a long period of time.

Cold protection key:

1) Eat more foods that replenish qi and warm the body, such as walnuts, dates, and peanuts, so that the innate deficiencies can be supplemented by acquired high energy. There is no need to worry about getting angry. People with cold uterus constitution lack fire energy and are not prone to symptoms of excessive fire and body heat.

2) Use abalone for nourishment. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that abalone is a nourishing food that can nourish and beautify the skin, and is the best tonic for women. In the past, the Chinese medicine pills that the Imperial Medical Bureau presented to the empress and concubines were mixed with abalone juice instead of honey as is done today. Therefore, women with uterine cold should often make abalone food for themselves.

3) People who walk tend to be quiet and steady, and they easily feel tired when exercising too much. In fact, "movement generates yang", and people with cold constitutions especially need to improve their constitution through exercise. Brisk walking is the easiest way. Walking, especially walking on cobblestone roads, can stimulate the meridians and acupoints on the soles of the feet, dredge the meridians, regulate qi and blood, improve blood circulation, and warm the whole body.

4) Moxibustion with moxa sticks is a relatively simple home method. Generally, two acupoints are selected: the Qihai point, which is 1.5 inches directly below the center of the navel, and the Guanyuan point, which is 3 inches directly below the center of the navel. Use moxa sticks to fumigate for 30 minutes every day and persist in it for a long time to be effective. There are also other plant-based internal agents that can effectively relieve uterine cold.

5) You can drink brown sugar water every day three days before your period to increase the amount of menstruation, help expel the menstruation more cleanly, activate the blood circulation, and warm the uterus.

Cause of uterine cold 2: air-conditioned room in summer

After entering midsummer, women are showing off their skin, beautiful legs, arms, shoulders, and even a large back and a small waist. But in the office, the temperature is always a constant 24 degrees Celsius all year round, and the air-conditioning keeps the scorching sun away, but is always close to you. Little do you know that your uterus is suffering from the cold outside at this moment. How much energy do you have to withstand such consumption? Unconsciously, the cold air invades the body, and the female-specific organ - the uterus, is the first to be affected, and uterine cold is not far away.

Cold protection key:

1) Keep a coat or shawl, such as a small cardigan with sleeves, in the office. Even if you wear suspenders every day in summer, it can protect your shoulders and prevent them from getting cold. When wearing a skirt, you can use a shawl to protect your legs, especially your knees. Women who are afraid of cold also need stockings to prevent the cold from starting from the feet.

2) Don’t sit under the air conditioner. If the seat cannot be moved, you should prepare a small scarf to prevent the wind from blowing directly on your neck. If you sit in front of the air conditioner, it is best to face it. The cold wind blowing on your back and waist from behind will cause more harm to the human body than the head-on wind.

3) Don’t sleep on the table during your lunch break in the office. This will inadvertently expose your lower back and your pores will relax during sleep, making you more vulnerable to cold. Also, it is best not to stay in an air-conditioned room for 8 hours. Go for a walk outside at noon to let your pores come into contact with the natural air from the outside world. If there is cold air in the body, it can be dissipated.

4) Don't sit in the "cold" place. Don't sit on cold chairs in the summer, such as chairs on the ground, stone or iron surfaces. They conduct heat quickly and are very cold. The cold evil will quickly repel the yang energy in your body and directly attack the uterus.

Reason 3 for uterine cold: rapid weight loss

Whether you diet, exercise, or take medicine, the way to lose weight is to make your consumption greater than your intake, but it must be a long process. If you try to lose weight in a short period of time, you will have to sacrifice your health. Rapid weight loss is nothing more than using strong and drastic drugs and abnormal means to expel excess water and fat from the body. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, this means that the body has lost a large amount of energy substances in a short period of time, and the cold evil is likely to take advantage of the opportunity to invade and attack the uterus.

Cold protection key:

1) Don’t be too harsh on fat. “Everyone is calling for weight loss” is a disease of the times and a side effect of the era when skinny beauties are prevalent. In fact, whether in the East or the West, traditionally beautiful women all have one characteristic: a slightly protruding belly. This is also confirmed by the health experts' statement that "women with a body mass index of 20.85 are the sexiest." In short, don't be too harsh on belly fat, it helps protect the uterus.

2) When you really need to lose weight, make a plan that is slow but has few side effects and is less likely to rebound. Follow the principle of eating less and exercising more, and set a goal of losing 1 to 2 pounds a month.

3) The uterus is warm, the qi and blood in the body flow smoothly and on time, and the menstrual period is normal; if the uterus is troubled by cold evil, the blood and qi will coagulate when encountering cold.

4) Drink some soup with warm properties before meals, such as hot and sour soup, spicy fish soup, spicy soup, etc., which can effectively occupy the stomach capacity and reduce the amount of food eaten. In addition, their warming properties can slowly help you store heat in your body and prevent uterine cold.

Cause 4 of uterine cold: Too much cold food

In traditional Chinese medicine, women’s constitution is yin and they should not be too cold. Even in the hot summer, you should not eat too much cold drinks, iced tea, fruits and other cold foods, let alone those who hold ice cream all year round. After eating too much cold and raw food, these foods will consume yang energy when entering the body, causing the internal generation of cold evil and damaging the uterus. Therefore, Chinese medicine's guidance on eating cold foods is mainly applicable to women.

Cold protection key:

1) Chinese medicine recommends that you only eat cold food in the summer, and avoid eating food that has just been taken out of the refrigerator. However, you can control the scale yourself. People with dry body and high temper can eat a little more, but don't eat too much. For example, don't eat more than two ice creams a day.

2) The order of eating cold things: When eating both cold and hot things, it is best to eat the hot one first and then the cold one. If the order is reversed, the cold air will be pushed down to the uterus by the hot air, causing damage.

3) Distinguishing Cold Food In addition to food taken out of the refrigerator, there are many foods that, although eaten at room temperature, are cold in nature, such as watermelon, pear, pork, mung bean, rock sugar, bitter gourd, etc. Even after heating, they should be eaten according to the season and in moderation.

Cause 5 of uterine cold: miscarriage

The combination of sperm and egg and the growth of the fetus require women to consume a large amount of energy substances, so some pregnant women will have a very uncomfortable body and a face full of spots. Abortion is equivalent to suddenly throwing away all those energy substances, which requires the consumption of a large amount of yang energy in the human body. If the body is not properly maintained, the yang energy will be depleted for a long time, the uterus will lose its warmth, and uterine cold will result.

Cold protection key:

1) Contraception: When you are not planning to have children, remember to use contraception. Other methods such as safe period and in vitro fertilization are not safe. Using tools is the basic principle for women to protect themselves.

2) Keep your body warm. After miscarriage, the body's yang energy decreases, making it easier for wind and cold to invade. Therefore, do not take off your clothes too early as usual, especially keep your abdomen and lower body warm.

3) Develop the habit of drinking ginger tea before meals. You can drink a cup of ginger tea before meals (a piece of ginger, brewed with boiling water, and drunk while it is hot). It can actively dissolve the coldness in cold food or cool food, and protect your uterus in terms of diet.

Cause 6 of uterine coldness: Kidney deficiency

Kidney deficiency, an important cause of uterine cold as described in traditional Chinese medicine, is caused by kidney deficiency. In "Dream of Red Mansions", Feng Ji relied on her strength after her miscarriage and continued to manage affairs. As her body became weak, she developed symptoms of continuous bleeding from her lower body. It was not until she rested and recuperated for eight or nine months that she gradually recovered. This is a typical case of kidney deficiency caused by excessive pressure on the kidneys due to pregnancy, coupled with uterine coldness caused by residual toxins in the uterus, which brings great harm to the physical fitness. There are now better and faster ways to deal with this kind of uterine coldness.

Cold protection key:

1) Dietary supplements to strengthen the kidneys: eat more black foods, such as black fungus, black beans, black sesame seeds, and nuts such as walnuts.

2) According to the 12-hour health care theory: between 5pm and 7pm, replenish water and the above-mentioned foods. You can also do daily maintenance to detoxify and warm the uterus with Meiguiyuan warm uterus type to expel uterine cold.
