How to treat chills and coldness after childbirth

Many pregnant mothers easily develop some health problems after giving birth because they do not take good care of themselves. Among them, chills are the most common. In fact, this is because mothers allow cold air to enter their bodies during the confinement period. Generally speaking, if you want to change this situation, you need to make adjustments. So, how to treat chills and coldness after childbirth? Next, we will introduce to you some dietary conditioning methods.

1. Not paying attention to your clothing and diet

We often eat cold drinks and drink ice water to cool down in the hot summer, or wear short skirts in the winter for the sake of beauty. In fact, these can easily lead to yang deficiency. Some young girls say that it’s okay because they are young, but you have to pay for what you have done. Some problems will come to you when you get older.

2. Improper daily life and irregular work and rest

Not sleeping at night seems to have become a habit. Many people say that they don’t work overtime and have nothing to do, but they just don’t want to sleep. As long as they get enough sleep, it’s fine. Night is the time for Yang energy to be restrained and rest, and the same is true for humans. If you don't sleep well at this time, not only will the Yang energy fail to recover, but it will also overdraw its functions. If this continues for a long time, it will become a vicious cycle and can easily lead to insufficient Yang energy. Also, staying in an overheated or overcooled air-conditioned room for a long time can easily lead to catching a cold and causing insufficient yang energy. How to treat Yang deficiency?
