What should I do if I get caught in the wind during confinement?

In Chinese culture, the culture of confinement has a long history. According to experts and scholars, it can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty, with a history of more than two thousand years! From a physiological point of view, pregnancy lasts as long as ten months, and the various inconveniences and hardships during this period are self-evident; when the pregnancy is ripe, childbirth is also extremely hard. At this time, the mother's body is extremely weak and easily invaded by external evils. So, what should women do if they are blown by the wind during the confinement period?

It is a traditional Chinese custom for women to stay in confinement after giving birth. The idea of ​​the older generation may seem a bit foolish now, but it is not. There is a reason why the older generation did not allow women to take a bath or wash their hair during confinement. Because women are weak during the confinement period, they are most afraid of cold air entering their bodies. However, the original living conditions were relatively difficult, there were no water heaters, and the water temperature for bathing or washing hair was not high, so it was easy to catch a cold. Therefore, you cannot bathe or wash your hair during the confinement period.

Nowadays, every household has a water heater, which breaks the tradition of not taking a bath or washing your hair during the confinement period. The most feared thing during confinement is being blown by the wind. If you are accidentally blown by the wind, how can you remedy it?

1. 3 methods are simple and effective!

1. Drink hot soup

You can boil water with ginger and brown sugar. After drinking ginger and sugar water, you will feel heat in your body and soon you will sweat. Drink it a few more times and the cold in your body will be expelled.

2. Keep warm

If you are exposed to the wind during the confinement period, you should pay attention to keeping warm, and pay more attention to keeping your head, neck, knees and other parts warm. You should wear long sleeves and long pants even in summer. In winter, you can use a hot water bottle to keep warm.

3. Get plenty of rest

Sleep can repair the body's skills. If you are exposed to the wind during the confinement period, you must sleep to allow your body to get enough rest.

2. Can I enjoy the natural breeze during my confinement in summer?

You can enjoy natural breeze during confinement in the summer.

First: Women should not be exposed to cold wind during confinement, but they can open windows for ventilation in the summer to avoid convection wind from air conditioners and electric fans. When turning on the air conditioner, do not point the air outlet towards the mother, and set the room temperature no lower than 25 degrees, preferably between 25 and 28 degrees Celsius.

Second: Although you can enjoy natural breeze during confinement in the summer, the prerequisite is to keep key parts warm. Be sure to wear long sleeves, long pants, and socks to avoid catching a cold or exposing your joints to wind, cold, and moisture.

Third: No wind but ventilation is required. The room should be ventilated frequently. The indoor temperature should not be too high, nor should it fluctuate. In the past, it was often said that doors and windows should be closed tightly and mothers should be covered with thick blankets at all times. This is very dangerous, especially in summer, as it can easily cause heatstroke in mothers.
