What should we pay attention to in autumn life?
1. Meet the requirements of six solar terms in autumn. The life of six solar terms in autumn should meet the requirements of the climate characteristics of six solar terms in autumn.
(1) Life in beginning of autumn requires that beginning of autumn is the beginning of autumn. "Guanzi" records: "Autumn begins in the shade, so everything is harvested." In autumn health care, Su Wen's theory of four seasons' spirits points out: "The man of four seasons' yin and yang is the root of all things, so saints raise yang in spring and summer and yin in autumn and winter to follow their roots, so they rise and fall with all things at the door of growth. If you go against its roots, you will break its roots and destroy its truth. " This is the purpose of the ancients to adjust the four seasons, warning people to understand the natural laws of Tibet in spring, summer, autumn and winter in order to adapt to the four seasons.
In early autumn, we should go to bed early and get up early to be happy with chickens. Going to bed early can regulate the yang in the human body, and getting up early can stretch the lung qi and prevent it from being too convergent.
In the early autumn, the heat is not over, although there is a cool breeze, the weather is changeable, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and it is still extremely hot during the day. It is reasonable to strengthen the sleep time at night in this solar term, just to make up for the lack of sleep in summer and go to bed early in autumn, which is completely in line with the principle of "nourishing and harvesting".
(2) The daily life in summer needs summer, and the hot climate is drawing to a close. At this time, the temperature is low in the morning and evening and high in the daytime. So pay attention to the changes of clothes with the weather, and be careful of catching a cold. The obvious climatic characteristics of this festival are dryness, little rain and low air humidity. At this time, people often feel this way, the skin becomes tense, even peeling and desquamation, the hair is dry and dull, dandruff increases, the mouth and lips are dry or chapped, the nasopharynx is dry and hot, and the stool is dry. All these phenomena are caused by the dry climate.
This phenomenon is what people call autumn dryness. This section is warm and dry in autumn, and the development symptoms are cough with little phlegm, dry throat and dry mouth, and hot hands and feet. Some diseases, such as bronchiectasis and tuberculosis, are prone to relapse or aggravation under the action of autumn dryness. Therefore, at this time, it is very important to protect yourself from the autumn dryness.
In this festival, we should stick to the good habit of taking a nap. With the growth of age, the elderly are deficient in both qi and blood, yin and yang, and there will be insomnia without sleeping during the day and at night. Ancient health experts said: "Lack of sleep is a big problem for the elderly", and Ancient and Modern Yan Jia thought that the elderly should "sleep when sleepy", which is in line with the viewpoint of health preservation. In addition, the ancients also emphasized the importance of meridian sleep in sleep health (that is, falling asleep at noon and noon every day), thinking that yin and yang meet at noon and qi and blood in the body are unbalanced, so they must lie still and wait for the weather to recover.
Modern research has found that at o ~ 4 o'clock at night, the function of various organs in the body drops to the lowest point; 12 ~ 13 Noon is the most tiring time for human sympathetic nerves.
Taking a nap until midnight for the elderly can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, while strengthening sleep, the elderly should not only go to bed early and get up early, but also take a lunch break, and the best afternoon exercise time is between 12- 15.
(3) Life in the Millennium season requires that the Millennium season is the beginning of a cool climate. At this time, the temperature is low at night and in the morning and evening, and the weather is still very hot at noon, which is the time when the daily temperature difference is the largest in autumn. As the old saying goes, "If you don't show your body for a thousand years, you should remind people sooner or later", which is to warn people that the temperature is getting colder in the Millennium season, and you should not be topless, especially in the morning and evening.
This time is a good time for people to travel. However, many tourists often have symptoms similar to "cold" during their travels. Itchy nose, continuous sneezing, runny nose, sometimes watery eyes, itchy throat and itchy ears. These performances are easily reminiscent of colds, and the temperature difference between morning and evening in late autumn is very large. Especially when the activity increases and the coat is taken off, it is easier to be mistaken for a cold and regarded as a "cold". In fact, this is not necessarily a "cold", but may be a "hay fever".
There are two basic factors in the onset of "hay fever": one is the individual's physical allergy, and the other is more than one contact and inhalation of external allergens. Because the flowering period of various plants has obvious seasonality, people who are allergic to one or more antigens have obvious seasonality. Autumn is the time when Chenopodiaceae, Enteromorpha, Ricinus communis, Sunflower and other plants bloom, and it is these pollens that induce allergic people to have "autumn pollinosis".
(4) The requirements of the autumnal equinox for daily life have really entered the autumn. As a solar term with equal time between day and night, people should also maintain their health by the principle of "balance of yin and yang" in health care. According to Su Wen Zhi Zhen Da Lun: "Take a close look at the place of yin and yang, and take a flat period", the place of yin and yang should not be biased.
After the autumnal equinox, the climate is getting colder, which is the season of frequent and recurrent stomach diseases. Chinese medicine believes that the gastrointestinal tract is very sensitive to cold stimulation. If you don't pay attention to diet and daily life, it will lead to gastrointestinal diseases, such as acid reflux, abdominal distension, diarrhea, abdominal pain, or aggravate the original stomach disease. Therefore, people with chronic gastritis should pay special attention to the warmth of the stomach, add clothes at the right time, and cover the bedding at night to prevent stomach pain or aggravate the old diseases caused by abdominal cold.
(5) Residence requirements After the cold dew in the cold dew season, with the continuous decline of temperature, colds are the most popular diseases at this time. It is believed that when the temperature drops and the air is dry, the pathogenicity of cold virus increases. When the ambient temperature is lower than 15℃, the disease resistance of upper respiratory tract decreases. So catching a cold is an important inducement of catching a cold. It is necessary to change clothes in time, strengthen exercise and enhance physical fitness. At this time, asthma will become more and more serious, patients with chronic tonsillitis will easily cause sore throat, and patients with hemorrhoids will be more serious than before.
According to statistics, more than 90% of elderly patients with chronic bronchitis will have an acute attack after catching a cold. Therefore, comprehensive measures should be taken to actively prevent colds; It is also necessary to scientifically adjust diet, combine drug control, improve living environment, avoid smoke pollution, and keep indoor air circulating and fresh.
To sum up, in this cold and dew season of eventful autumn, reasonable arrangement of daily life plays an important role in health.
This solar term, due to the cold climate, less sunshine and falling leaves, often causes a sense of desolation in some people's hearts, resulting in emotional instability and melancholy. Therefore, it is also one of the indispensable contents of health care to maintain a good attitude, guide the situation, vent depressed emotions and cultivate an optimistic and open-minded heart. If you often climb high and overlook, it will make people feel relaxed and happy, and all the bad emotions such as depression and melancholy will suddenly dissipate. This is not only one of the ways to increase income in health preservation, but also a good medicine to adjust the spirit.
(6) Requirements of the first frost for daily life The first frost is the last solar term in autumn. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, at this time, the function of spleen is in a vigorous period, and the function of spleen and stomach is too strong, which is easy to lead to stomach diseases. Therefore, this solar term is the peak of recurrence of chronic gastritis and gastroduodenal ulcer.
Due to the stimulation of cold, the autonomic nervous function of human body is disordered, and the normal law of gastrointestinal peristalsis is disrupted; Accelerated metabolism, increased calorie consumption, increased secretion of gastric juice and various digestive juices, improved appetite and increased food intake will inevitably increase the burden of gastrointestinal function and affect the repair of existing ulcers; When going out in late autumn and early winter, the temperature is low, and it is inevitable to swallow some cold air, which can cause vasoconstriction of gastrointestinal mucosa, lead to ischemia and hypoxia of gastrointestinal mucosa, reduce nutrient supply, destroy the defense barrier of gastrointestinal mucosa, which is not conducive to the repair of ulcers, and can also lead to the emergence of new ulcers; Therefore, in daily life, we should pay special attention to maintenance, maintain emotional stability and avoid negative emotions; Pay attention to the combination of work and rest to avoid overwork; Proper physical exercise to improve gastrointestinal blood supply; Pay attention to cold and warmth, especially to keep your abdomen warm.
2. Comply with the rules of six solar terms in autumn, and meet the following requirements.
(1) Early to bed and early to rise, having fun with chickens. As the saying goes, "it is better to sleep than to eat" and "it is better to sleep than to eat ginseng". Among the six solar terms in autumn, the yin essence of the human body is the same as that of nature. "Everything rises and falls at the door of growth", and the five internal organs are hidden. Therefore, we should pay more attention to the reasonable arrangement of sleep time to echo the natural qi.
According to the changes of the six solar terms in autumn, Su Wen's theory of "Four Temperaments Regulating Spirit" formulated the corresponding work and rest system. "In autumn and March ... go to bed early and get up early, and have fun with chickens." It is clearly pointed out that it is necessary to go to bed early and get up early in the six solar terms in autumn, which is a way of life to adapt to the six solar terms in autumn. The purpose of going to bed early and getting up early is to conform to the state that the yin essence of the human body gathers in the body and the yang spirit stretches with the change of yin and yang in nature during the six solar terms in autumn. Lying early, in order to conform to the image of gathering yin and essence in the six solar terms in autumn, in order to raise "closed" qi; Getting up early accords with the extension of the spirit of the sun in the six solar terms in autumn, so that lung qi can be declared down. In this way, we can echo the natural laws in the six solar terms in autumn and realize the purpose of "raising crops in autumn" And because of the pleasant climate, it is cooler at night, and the chirping of autumn insects makes people sleepy easily. Therefore, it is advisable to go to bed early and keep enough sleep to make up for the lack of sleep in summer, which is also one of the effective ways to enhance physical fitness and prevent colds in autumn. In the first volume of "Old Constant Words", it is written: "It is advisable to lie down early and get up early in autumn, otherwise it will hurt the lungs." "The Essentials of Classics" says: "When sleeping in autumn and winter, you should avoid crowing after sunrise." In other words, getting up early in the autumn 6 solar terms should be before sunrise rather than too late.
Related research reports show that:
Ischemic diseases such as cerebral thrombosis have a high onset time in autumn, and the onset time is mostly in the late stage of long sleep. Therefore, the blood flow speed of cerebral vessels is getting slower and slower, which is easy to lead to the formation of thrombosis.
Therefore, getting up early in autumn can reduce the chance of thrombosis, which is of certain significance to prevent ischemic diseases such as cerebral thrombosis. So what is a more suitable time to rest in autumn? In China, it is advisable to go to bed at 9:00- 10 in autumn and get up at 5:00-6:00 in the morning.
(2) pay attention to taking a lunch break to nourish the essence. Chinese medicine believes that taking a nap for half an hour to 1 hour in the afternoon has a health care function that cannot be ignored. Especially for the elderly, taking a nap is not only beneficial to health, but also reduces the chance of cerebral hemorrhage.
Therefore, TCM health experts advocate taking a nap, that is, taking a rest at dusk (23 ~ 1) and noon (1L ~ 13), so as to conform to the rising of yang, which is beneficial to health. Noon is the day when yin and yang meet, and afternoon is like autumn, which is the day when yang gradually closes and yin gradually blooms. In autumn, people are used to getting up early and exercising in the cool autumn wind. Therefore, it is necessary to pay more attention to taking a lunch break and adjusting the body to adapt to the growth and decline of yin and yang outside, which is also in line with the principle of nourishing autumn and harvesting autumn.
However, after entering autumn, most cities in China have changed their working hours in summer and shortened their lunch break. Many people give up their lunch break or take a nap in their chairs or sleep on their desks in the afternoon, unaware of the harm this brings to people. Because when you sleep, your heart rate slows down, your blood vessels dilate, and your blood circulation slows down relatively. Especially after meals, a lot of blood flows into the gastrointestinal tract to digest food, while sitting and sleeping reduces the blood flowing into your brain, which aggravates the anemia of your brain. After lunch break, you will have symptoms of cerebral ischemia such as dizziness, tinnitus and leg weakness. Taking a lunch break at my desk makes the blood vessels and nerves in my waist, legs and buttocks in a state of tension or oppression after working all morning, and the meridians and blood circulation are blocked, resulting in feelings such as acid, numbness and bloating. After a long time, it will cause sciatica and varicose veins of lower limbs. Therefore, while paying attention to ensuring the lunch break in autumn, we should also pay attention to the choice of posture, and it is appropriate to lie flat and rest.
(3) Pay attention to the orientation and posture when sleeping. China ancient health experts have a certain discussion on sleeping posture. On the Four Seasons says: "In autumn and July ... you should be angry at noon, sitting and lying in the south ... Mid-Autumn Festival ... At the end, you should be angry, sitting and lying in the southwest, auspicious ... Autumn moon, you should take your anger out on Shen and sit and lie in the southwest." He also quoted the book as saying: "It is good to lie down in autumn and March with your head facing west." It is pointed out that sitting and lying in autumn should face southwest. Autumn heads to the west because autumn in the west is more prosperous. Therefore, in autumn, we should lie flat with vigorous spirit, conform to nature and coordinate Yin and Yang.
② Some people on the right have investigated the sleeping posture of many long-lived elderly people. The results show that they usually lie on their side, and the right side is the most arched position. Just in line with what the ancients said: "Lying like a bow." The correct sleeping position is to lie on the right side, with legs slightly bent, the whole body relaxed, one hand bent in front of the pillow, and the hand naturally placed on the thigh. In this way, the spine naturally forms an arch, the limbs are easy to change freely, the muscles of the whole body can be fully relaxed, the pressure on the chest is minimal, and it is not easy to snore. Chinese medicine believes that lying on your knees can keep your vitality strong. Sun Simiao once said, "Keep your mouth shut when you sleep at night." The purpose is also to keep the essence in memory. Therefore, it is more appropriate to sleep in autumn instead of breathing with your mouth open to help you increase your income in autumn.
In addition, the choice of sleeping posture in autumn must also vary from person to person. For example, patients with some diseases should not lie on their right side.
It has been reported that patients with cerebral thrombosis, lying on their side will aggravate blood flow disorders and easily lead to thrombosis recurrence, so they should lie on their backs. Patients with gastric ulcer, lying on the right side, will greatly increase the reflux of acidic liquid from the stomach to the esophagus, causing burning pain in the stomach, and should lie on the left side. Patients with hypertension should lie flat with a pillow, which is generally about 15 cm high. Patients with emphysema should lie on their backs, with their heads slightly higher and their hands slightly upward to keep breathing smoothly. Patients with heart failure should adopt semi-recumbent position, and so on.
(4) Don't sleep in bed. In autumn, you should also avoid sleeping in bed, because the climate is cool. Sleeping in bed in autumn is very harmful. Because of the long sleep time, the contractility of myocardium and whole body muscles is reduced, and the law of heart activity and rest is destroyed. After a long time, the heart is unable to contract, and the muscle tension of the whole body is reduced, resulting in weakness, slow intestinal peristalsis and decreased body resistance. In the morning, the exhaust gas discharged by the body accumulates in the bedroom for one night, and the air is turbid, which affects the disease resistance of the respiratory tract; In addition, a large number of bacteria, viruses, carbon dioxide and dust particles in the air will make people who sleep in bed in autumn more susceptible to colds, coughs, pharyngitis and constipation. Moreover, sleepiness in lazy beds causes abnormal hormones secreted by the body day and night, and the excitement center is inhibited, which will aggravate the symptoms of autumn depression.
3. Clothing that meets the six solar terms in autumn has the following requirements.
(1) If you are not busy adding clothes in autumn, you are "not busy adding clothes in autumn", but it depends on the situation and cannot be dogmatic. In early autumn, when the summer heat is not over and the cool wind is blowing, clothes and quilts should be added gradually, but not too much at once and covered too tightly. In the late autumn "frost night", you can wear less clothes and consciously "freeze" the human body, but there is a limit that you can accept and will not "freeze" to sweat because you wear too much. Sweat evaporates, vaginal fluid is exhausted, and yang is leaked out. "Autumn freezing" also meets the health needs of storing yin and yang in autumn, and also prepares for cold resistance in winter. The Institute of Modern Medicine also confirmed this.
Mild cold stimulation can improve the excitability of the brain, increase the blood flow of the skin, accelerate the metabolism of the skin and enhance the cold tolerance of the body. This is also a confirmation of "if children are safe, they will be somewhat hungry and cold". In fact, adults also need a slight cold in autumn, but this "cold" should be strictly controlled by themselves. As for the elderly, we should be very cautious according to our own situation, but it is advisable to add clothes slowly.
On the other hand, in early autumn, we should also pay attention not to keep out the cold excessively, and wrap ourselves up in three layers. It's just cold, so when you go out, add a cotton cap and a mask to cover your mouth, thinking it's safe. I'm afraid this is weakening my resistance and cold tolerance, making my body fragile, turning into flowers and fruits in the greenhouse, and catching a cold and having a fever at both ends every three days.
"Autumn freezing" is not only limited to adding clothes when it is not cold, but also can be extended to a health rule in autumn. For example, don't cover too much when sleeping. Too much cover is easy to sweat, hurt yin and consume body fluid. Various exercises, such as playing ball, climbing mountains, walking, etc. No matter what kind of activities, we should pay attention to the word "freezing", especially cold water bath, which is an effective method in line with "autumn freezing" and should be adhered to for a long time without interruption.
Cold tolerance exercise is very important; Cold tolerance is a kind of resistance to diseases, especially in winter. Cold-resistant exercise should start from the beginning, and can be adhered to step by step, from cold water washing and rubbing to cold water bath until winter swimming.
"Autumn freezing" should also pay close attention to weather changes. Whether to add clothes or not depends on the weather, but it is not advisable to add too much, depending on how cold you feel. As the saying goes, "You must guard against March and September when you go out." The weather in early autumn is changeable, "four seasons a day, ten miles in different days", "If you want to be comfortable, you must be diligent". Therefore, we should prepare more autumn clothes and increase or decrease them appropriately, and increase or decrease them. Especially for the elderly, their metabolic function declines, their blood circulation slows down, they are afraid of cold and heat, and they are very sensitive to weather changes, so they should increase or decrease their clothes in time. In late autumn, the wind is strong and the weather is cool, and the cold air is getting stronger and stronger. Sometimes the temperature will drop, and even it will snow in advance, which is the easiest for people to catch a cold. Not only should you pay attention to cold and warmth when you go out, but you should also prevent catching cold at home at any time. At this time, if you are paranoid about "freezing" and don't add clothes, it will violate the original intention of "autumn freezing".
(2) Seven Instructions for Wearing in Autumn ① Autumn clothes should be wide and tight, with appropriate length and size, which makes people feel comfortable. In addition, it is not advisable to show your arms, chest and legs in autumn.
② Silk or pure cotton fabrics or blended imitations should be selected for outerwear pants in autumn, which can prevent cold and cool in autumn and heat. The texture is both soft and hard, and it is cool and stylish to wear on the body.
(3) Autumn underwear requires soft and moist fabrics, such as silk and soft-tire cotton cloth without sizing. Men's underwear should be loose, narrow and wide, and underwear should be loose and moderate; Women's underwear should be tight, medium loose and tight, and underwear should be tight. Women's underwear sleeves are important, the middle is loose, the hands are important, and men's underwear sleeves should be loose up and down.
Don't rush to get dressed in autumn. Old people can thicken their clothes in time. It's cold in the morning and evening in autumn, so don't let your back and heart catch cold. You can put on a vest or sweater vest first if necessary.
Because they sweat less in autumn, some people don't change their close-fitting clothes very often. In fact, the skin is easy to dry and peel in autumn, so it should be replaced regularly.
6. Keep your feet cool, but don't close your feet. Old people should not wear hard-soled high heels. Shoes should be loose, neither tight nor narrow.
7 socks with good air permeability and skin care performance can protect the skin and prevent autumn dryness. Avoid wearing chemical fiber socks.
4. Sexual life that meets the six solar terms in autumn. The climate of the six solar terms in autumn turns cold, and the sexual life should meet the health needs of the six solar terms in autumn. Yin Qi should accept the following requirements:
(1) Lying alone is a popular saying among believers, "Middle-aged people have different quilts, while old people have different beds". As early as in ancient China, health care experts regarded solitude as one of the measures to control sexual life and health care. Sun Simiao said: "Autumn and winter, lying alone is true." It shows that lying in separate beds in autumn and winter and abstaining from sexual life are conducive to maintaining people's true qi (essence), which is compatible with the characteristics of convergence and concealment in autumn and winter.
(2) The essence of nourishing yin, Huangdi Neijing, puts forward the principle of "nourishing yang in spring and summer and nourishing yin in autumn and winter". "Nourishing yin in autumn and winter" requires people to conform to the laws of nature in autumn and winter and pay attention to nourishing yin essence. "Su Wenjin Kui Yan Zhen" said: "The husband is fine, and the body is also this." It is emphasized that yin essence is an important substance that constitutes the human body and maintains human life activities. But the yin essence of human body should be hidden, not floating, and should be kept secret, while the secret storage of essence is full of vitality and health. People who can pay attention to nourishing yin in autumn and winter are less likely to get sick in the next spring, otherwise, as Zhang Jingyue said in the Ming Dynasty, "People who can't nourish yin in autumn and winter will suffer from fire syndrome in spring and summer because of excessive indulgence." Therefore, the adjustment of sexual intercourse in autumn should pay attention to conform to the law of nature's main income and main branch, and be restrained to avoid hurting the kidney and robbing the kidney to hide the essence of yin.
In addition, "Yilin Policy" said: "The autumn equinox is full of murderous look, and the sun's qi declines, so it should be banned for several days before and after", which can be used for reference.
(3) Prevention of impotence Autumn is often the season with the highest incidence of male impotence.
According to relevant medical statistics, among 1 102 impotence patients, there are 772 patients with obvious seasonal changes, and their distribution is: 386 patients in autumn, accounting for 50%; I 16 people in summer, accounting for15%; 39 people in spring, accounting for 5%; 23 1 person in winter, accounting for 30%. It shows that the incidence of impotence in autumn is high.
Impotence is a disease in which male genitals are weak, unable to erect or unable to complete normal sexual intercourse.
According to the statistics of relevant departments, in recent years, 5/4 divorce cases in China have been filed by women, most of which are because husbands suffer from sexual dysfunction, especially impotence.
Mental factors are the most common and main cause of impotence, accounting for about 85% ~ 90% of the total incidence. For example, the relationship between husband and wife is not harmonious, hostile to the woman, or the sexual life of husband and wife is not harmonious, and the ideal sexual satisfaction is not obtained, which causes aversion to sexual behavior and leads to impotence.
Uncomfortable sexual intercourse environment, such as multiple people living in a room, being wary or worried during sexual intercourse, can also lead to impotence.
There are also many people suffering from impotence because of lack of sexual knowledge, inner fear and fear of sexual failure, which makes the woman dissatisfied and thus forms impotence; Or dissatisfied with sexual intercourse, it will be mistaken for impotence. Because these people have doubts or fears, although they always ask for sex, they will be nervous, afraid and worried when they are ready to have sex. The result is that the erect penis is soft and unable to have sexual intercourse.
In addition, excessive masturbation and excessive sexual intercourse are also common causes of impotence. Excessive sexual intercourse, especially repeated sexual intercourse, that is, one-time sexual intercourse and continuous sexual intercourse, will cause penile erection and ejaculation because of the need for more intense stimulation. Over time, the erectile nerve center is in a state of inhibition, which will produce functional impotence. Another kind of impotence is organic and can only be treated by surgery.
(4) seven emotions and six injuries avoid sexual intercourse. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the material basis of human emotional expression is the essence of the five internal organs. The drastic change of emotion not only damages the essence of zang-fu organs, but also causes the disorder of qi in human body, leading to the dysfunction of zang-fu organs. Because there are six solar terms in autumn, the natural environment makes people feel sad and thoughtful. Therefore, in autumn sexual health, couples should pay attention to keep their mood comfortable and happy, and avoid sexual intercourse when they are excessively depressed and sad. In addition, autumn is the tourist season, the climate is cool, and people's outdoor activities increase. In the case of fatigue or overwork after traveling and sweating after exercise, sexual intercourse should also be avoided, so as not to consume more blood and damage the viscera when you are weak, which violates the principles of "nourishing yin in autumn and winter" and "adopting yin in autumn".
(5) Be careful about sexual intercourse during illness and recovery. Autumn is the season of relapse. Be careful about sexual intercourse during illness or recovery after illness, and avoid sexual intercourse when seriously ill. Infectious diseases, reproductive or urinary tract infections should also avoid sexual life, so as not to consume healthy qi, weaken the body, aggravate the condition or affect the recovery after illness. Sun Simiao pointed out in Qian Jin Fang in the Tang Dynasty: "After a new bed, you should lie still ... if you work hard, you will die." In addition, if you are sick and forced to copulate, it will not only damage the health of both parties, but also lead to congenital deficiency, mental retardation or susceptibility to some congenital or hereditary diseases. For example, Sun Shi said, "If you are sick, your essence will be fine, but your essence will be thin and evil, and your blood will not be full, which will lead to the birth of a dirty cell ... and the baby will be sick and brittle."
(6) Four-stage careful sexual intercourse The four-stage sexual intercourse of women, that is, menstrual period, pregnancy, childbirth and lactation, is an important content of women's sexual health care. Autumn is dry and heavy, and human essence and blood are more common. Chinese medicine believes that women are blood-oriented. During the menstrual period of women, spermatorrhea enters the uterus to menstruate; During pregnancy, the essence and blood are concentrated to raise the fetus; Blood loss and gas consumption during delivery; During lactation, Jingxue turns milk into milk. Therefore, according to the principle of "nourishing yin in autumn and winter", as well as the physiological characteristics of women's relative loss of seminal blood in these four periods, and due to the relative shortage of rushing into the blood sea, women are in a relatively weak state in these four periods, and pathogenic factors are easy to invade the human body and cause diseases.
Therefore, women in autumn should be careful about sexual intercourse in the fourth period. Especially during menstruation, three months before and after pregnancy, and 100 days after delivery, it is recorded in the Book of Rites that "a wife must have children ... at the end of March, she will have children in the side room ... and her wife will go to bed". For other months of pregnancy and lactation, we should also control sexual intercourse and be careful about sexual intercourse to avoid harmful consequences.
