How to treat Yin-Cold Constitution?

According to Chinese medicine theory:

The root cause of Yin-Cold nature is the imbalance of Yin and Yang in the body, which causes excess Yin and decreased Yang. Therefore, the cold in the body can be eliminated by replenishing Yang, warming the spleen and kidneys through drugs or food.

1. Hot compress on abdomen

For women with cold constitution, the abdomen is most likely to have cold air rise up and affect the whole body, so they should insist on applying hot compresses to the abdomen at ordinary times. You can apply a heat pack on the abdomen when traveling in winter.

Women with insufficient blood circulation in the lower body can insist on taking a bath. If conditions are not adequate, you can do a sitting bath with your lower body. Adding a little essential oil to bath water can promote blood circulation.

2. Tap the gallbladder meridian frequently

Many women have hot upper bodies and cold lower bodies. This is actually closely related to poor blood circulation in the lower body. Therefore, you can improve blood circulation in the lower body by tapping the gallbladder meridian. Lie flat on the bed, contract your leg muscles, and push and pull the depression on the outside of your thigh until you feel soreness.

3. Diet adjustment

Suitable ingredients: People with cold constitution are suitable for ingredients with warm properties, such as angelica, ginseng, astragalus, four ingredients, chestnuts, hawthorn, walnuts, red beans, peanuts, almonds, ginger, fennel, basil, longan, peaches, mulberries, black tea, oolong tea, etc.

Unsuitable ingredients: People with cold constitution are not suitable for drinking tea with cool properties, such as pears, winter melon, bitter melon, bitter tea, grass jelly, etc.
