Dog Days and Moxibustion Timetable in Dog Days in 2019
"Dog Days" It is determined according to the ancient Chinese "Stems and Branches Day Method". Every year after the summer solstice, the third Geng day (referring to the day with the word "G" in the calendar of stems and branches) is the first day, the fourth day after the beginning of autumn is the middle day, and the first day after the beginning of autumn is the last day. Together they are called It is three volts. As the saying goes, "Hot comes in the dog days of summer." The "dog days of summer" are the period of intense heat in midsummer. Among the "dog days of summer", the average temperature in the "mid-volt days" is often the highest.
During the summer season, the weather is hot and the air humidity is high. People eat a lot of fruits and iced drinks, and they are often susceptible to the evil of heat and humidity. In addition, in order to avoid the summer heat and cool down, air conditioners are now available everywhere, and it is easy to feel the cold evil, which consumes Yang Qi. When cold and dampness come, all kinds of diseases will arise. What's more, many people now have a cold-dampness constitution, so they feel very miserable every summer.
Sanfu day moxibustion therapy (Sanfu moxibustion) is based on the theories of traditional Chinese medicine such as "correspondence between nature and man", "winter diseases are treated in summer" and "nourishing yang in spring and summer". It is based on the theory of meridian and acupoints. Warm and hot stimulation plays the role of warming meridians, dredging collaterals, dispersing cold and removing dampness. Sanfu moxibustion can not only remove the evil of cold and dampness that has just been felt, but also remove the evil of cold and dampness that has been dormant in the body for a long time, thereby improving physical fitness and restoring health

Precautions for Sanfu moxibustion
1. First of all, Sanfu moxibustion must be treated correctly. Mr. Moxibustion believes that moxibustion can be used all year round and as long as it is symptomatic, it will have good effects. We cannot blindly assume that moxibustion in the third lunar month is the best or that the hotter the weather, the more suitable moxibustion is. Japanese moxibustion master Yatsumi Kageyama once said that moxibustion is not limited by cold or heat, it is indeed a true insight. However, for some problems, the effect of moxibustion during the Dog Days may be better than in other seasons, and the particularity of moxibustion during the Dog Days needs to be acknowledged.
2. The frequency of moxibustion is actually not that fixed. After all, everyone’s situation is different. The severity of the condition and the duration of the disease may vary. Generally speaking, as long as there are no symptoms of internal heat such as dry mouth, dry throat, or increased fatigue after moxibustion, you can continue moxibustion.
3. Before and after moxibustion in the dog days of summer, pay attention to drinking water appropriately and replenishing water in time. After all, the weather is hot and it is easy to sweat without moxibustion. It is even easier to sweat after moxibustion. If you do not replenish water in time, it will easily cause body fluid loss. Qi affects the effect of moxibustion.
4. The environment for moxibustion cannot be air-conditioned to avoid opening the pores during moxibustion and allowing cold and dampness to directly invade the human body. Wait half an hour after moxibustion and wait until the pores return to normal before taking a shower or turning on the air conditioner.
5. Sweating should be moderate. Especially friends with weak Qi and blood, fatigue and fatigue.
Precautions for keeping healthy during the Dog Days
Dog Days is the hottest time of the year, and it is also the period of high incidence of many diseases. Therefore, at this time, you should remember to keep in mind your health and take good care of your body. So how to maintain health during the dog days of summer? The following Xi'an Jizhengtang Traditional Chinese Medicine and Moxibustion Clinic will teach you the tips for maintaining health during the dog days of summer. Let's take a look.
1. Don’t be too greedy for coolness.
Staying in an air-conditioned room for a long time can easily cause the body's adjustment ability to become imbalanced and cause various discomforts. Therefore, it is best to turn on the air conditioner less often, especially for children, pregnant women, and the elderly suffering from arthritis, rheumatism, and respiratory diseases. Even if it is turned on, the temperature should be 26°C to ensure that the difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures exceeds 7°C; let the air-conditioned air blow upward to avoid blowing directly on the body, and protect the neck, back, abdomen, waist, legs and other parts. Do not take a cold shower after sweating profusely to avoid being invaded by wind, cold and dampness. Greedy eating of raw and cold fruits in summer can easily lead to gastroenteritis. When eating cold drinks, it is best to wait until the temperature of the food is close to body temperature before swallowing it slowly to avoid irritating the gastrointestinal tract. The best time to eat is between noon and 3 pm when Yang Qi is strongest. After catching a cold, you can drink ginger tea to relieve sweat and dispel the cold.
2. The food is appetizing.
As soon as the dog days of summer enter, many people will be troubled by the "bitter summer", with taste and loss of appetite. Therefore, "appetizing" is the focus of summer health care. Experts suggest that you can eat more bitter foods in summer. Bitter melon, bitter vegetables, and tartary buckwheat can relieve heat, relieve heat, and strengthen the spleen and appetite. However, bitter melon is cold in nature, so people with poor physical constitution and weak spleen and stomach should not eat more. The weather is very hot and you sweat a lot, which easily consumes your Qi and damages your Yin. Therefore, foods that replenish qi and nourish yin are also indispensable. Yams, jujubes, honey, lotus roots, and fungus are all good choices. In addition, flat or cool meat products such as chicken, duck, and lean pork also have the effect of nourishing yin, nourishing the stomach, and strengthening the spleen.
3. Remove dampness from the body.
In the hot and humid days of summer, the human body is easily invaded by dampness. To deal with summer heat dampness, you can press the Zusanli point to help transport water and dampness. Soaking your feet in 40℃ warm water before going to bed can remove moisture and improve sleep quality. You can also sweat deliberately to let the moisture dissipate with the sweat. It is also helpful to eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and reduce dampness. Cooking porridge with red beans, mung beans, and lotus leaves, making tea with Patchouli, Peilan, and Atractylodes, and boiling sliced ginger in water all have the effect of removing dampness. Although chili pepper can whet the appetite and aid digestion, its effect in removing dampness is average. It is worth reminding that mung bean soup must not be drunk as water. Mung beans are cold in nature and those with weak constitutions should not drink too much.
4. "Low-key" movement.
The often said "three days of summer training" does not allow everyone to exercise regardless of time, place, or situation. In summer, the human body consumes a lot of energy, so exercise methods such as running, playing ball, and mountain climbing must be done according to one's ability. It is best to do some "low-key" exercises, which can achieve the effect of exercise without causing discomfort. Three sports are better: 1. Swimming: The heat dissipation capacity of water is 15 times higher than that of air. The human body can maintain a constant body temperature during swimming and is less likely to suffer from heat stroke; 2. Fishing: Fishing requires the cooperation of the brain, hands, and eyes, and the cooperation of stillness, mind, and movement. , can relieve the heat of the heart and spleen; 3. Tai Chi: Tai Chi can not only increase lung capacity, but also promote the flow of qi and blood between the internal organs, which helps to cheer up the spirit.
Summer exercise is best arranged in the cool morning or evening; pay attention to a small amount during this time
