Cold Wind and Traditional Chinese Medicine: How to Cope with Its Unpleasant Effects

The winter wind, bringing cold and dampness, can negatively affect our health. In traditional Chinese medicine, cold wind (Feng) is considered one of the main factors leading to illness. As a result, practitioners recommend various methods to protect the body from its effects.

To strengthen the immune system, it’s essential to focus on a diet rich in warm foods, such as soups and steamed dishes. Herbs like ginger and cinnamon are also recommended for their warming properties. Acupuncture and massage can help relieve tense muscles and improve circulation.

It's important to wear appropriate clothing, especially scarves and hats, to protect against the cold wind. By following these practices, we can effectively minimize the negative impacts of winter weather conditions on our health.

Nei Guan – The Point That Relieves Stress and Nausea

Nei Guan (P6) is one of the most important acupressure points, known for its remarkable properties. It can be found on the inner side of the wrist, about two finger widths from the base of the palm, between the tendons. Stimulation of this point is particularly recommended for those suffering from nausea, including that caused by motion sickness, pregnancy, or chemotherapy.

Interestingly, acupressure at the Nei Guan point not only alleviates nausea but also helps reduce stress and tension, making it an ideal solution for individuals leading a busy lifestyle. Regularly pressing Nei Guan (P6) can aid in relaxation and improve sleep quality, which is crucial in today’s fast-paced world. Thanks to the simplicity of this technique, anyone can learn to apply acupressure at home, enhancing their well-being naturally.
