At the end of the year, a cold comes, the temperature difference between morning and night is large, and it is the season of rampant influenza! Many people who often catch a cold, their bodies seem to be a human weather bureau, as soon as the temperature starts to fall, always inevitably blow their noses, fierce squirting, all of a sudden catch a cold, can only obediently to see a doctor. The key to these people’s weak immunity, according to Chinese medicine, is the lack of liver Yang.
What is the most effective way to treat a cold? Many people will choose to look for Western medicine, take effective medicine and fever-reducing injection, this aspect of Chinese medicine seems to be a little less. But Chinese medicine doctor Sheng-Pu Lee believes that this is all because of the general stereotypes, do not understand the Chinese medicine treatment for colds and flu casually to enhance immunity, anti-virus.
It is not that Chinese medicine is not good at treating colds and epidemic viruses. On the contrary, Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee emphasizes that Chinese medicine is actually more preventive than curative, and prevention is enhanced in treatment. There is a saying in the Neijing, “If you don’t hide the essence in winter, you will get sick in spring”, which has been regarded by Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee as the most famous saying in Chinese medicine, and it expresses the concept of health prevention in Chinese medicine in a concrete and subtle way. The essence here refers to the vital Qi in the human body in general.
The new influenza vaccine is in a hurry, and the news of various side effects is all the rage. Chinese medicine doctors remind us to pay attention to the immune system of the liver to enhance the autoimmunity, which is an effective way to fight against viral bacteria. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee said that the liver is an important system for the body to prevent diseases and viruses, and Chinese medicine has always focused on liver yang, the liver’s yang Qi, because the liver plays an important role in the production of immunity.
Liver yang is very important, as you can see by looking at the process of nutrient absorption in the human body. The human body absorbs food nutrients from the stomach and intestines, decomposes them through enzymes, and then distributes them throughout the body, all of which depends on the liver to convert nutrients into calories and special proteins into resistance.
Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee said that the people with good liver yang, for example, are better at producing serum proteins and resisting viruses, so even if they get a cold or a virus, they will feel tired, have muscle pains, and have a lot of inner heat, and the virus will be suppressed, so they will recover and get better faster. On the contrary, people with poor liver health will have serious unstoppable illnesses, and colds will cause laryngitis, tonsillitis, inflammation and fever.
Not only that, from the Chinese medicine point of view, the liver and the brain have an inseparable special role. People with poor liver yang not only have insufficient speed and energy for gastrointestinal fermentation and nutrient transfer, but also cannot immediately respond to external temperature changes and play the ability to adapt to the body temperature and take the initiative to fine-tune the body temperature, therefore, as soon as it is cold and hot, it is easy to catch a cold. If you want to stay away from the threat of disease, you may want to rely on Chinese medicine to nourish your liver to strengthen your resistance.
A healthy liver gives you the energy you need to live life to the fullest!
