What foods should you eat when you have a cold or flu?
For patients with typhoid and common cold, their diet should mainly consist of light and easily digestible foods, and they can eat more millet, rice, fish, chicken, and shrimp, which can promote the absorption of calcium and help speed up the healing of typhoid and common cold. It is advised to avoid raw and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition. It's recommended to drink more water and urinate frequently to effectively speed up the healing of the cold. If the condition is serious, it is essential to go to a standard hospital promptly. Follow the doctor's guidance for symptomatic treatment and pay attention to rest, avoid overworking, and do not stay up late.
Is hair greasy with kidney deficiency type hair loss?
Hair loss caused by kidney deficiency often presents with oily hair because during the hair loss process, problems occur in the subcutaneous hair follicles, causing the hair to become dry or necrotic. As a result, the hair does not grow well. It is recommended to use a suitable shampoo and wash the hair regularly to help improve the condition. Goji berries boiled in water can be applied to the hair to effectively prevent hair loss. Drinking tea made from these berries, or regularly consuming nuts like walnuts, almonds, and pine nuts, can also be very beneficial for the hair.
Where to apply moxibustion for gastroenteritis?
Patients with gastroenteritis can undergo moxibustion at acupoints such as Zusanli (ST36), Shenshu (BL23), Feishu (BL13), and Quchi (LI11) for effective improvement. However, it is crucial to perform moxibustion under the guidance of a qualified physician to achieve the therapeutic goals based on the individual's condition. Do not attempt to perform moxibustion on yourself blindly, as it may worsen the condition or cause other adverse reactions. Additionally, it is important to take medication promptly for gastroenteritis to achieve effective treatment. It is generally advisable to consume a light diet to avoid further burdening the digestive system.
Can Huang Jing treat white hair and hair loss?
Polygonatum, commonly known as Huang Jing, is somewhat effective in treating white hair and hair loss, but it cannot completely achieve the therapeutic goal. When white hair and hair loss occur, it is first necessary to determine the specific cause to effectively mitigate the issue. Additionally, it is important not to consume irritating foods and to eat more black sesame or walnuts, which can somewhat improve the symptoms of white hair and hair loss. The main causes of white hair and hair loss are usually attributed to frequent staying up late and excessive fatigue, so dietary improvements should also be considered.
Will hair loss of the deficient type cause the hair to become thinner, softer, and greasier?
Hair loss of the deficiency type can lead to thinner and greasier hair. For such cases, it is crucial to promptly replenish the body. This can be achieved through dietary adjustments, such as consuming more leeks, Chinese yam, eggs, lean meat, barley, adzuki beans, red beans, etc., which can effectively help alleviate the condition. Additionally, consuming black sesame, nuts, walnuts, and other similar foods can effectively help prevent hair loss and provide some relief. Most importantly, avoid excessive fatigue and do not stay up late.
How many days does it take to recover from a cold caused by wind-cold?
Patients with a common cold due to wind-cold usually improve within about 3 to 7 days under normal conditions. The most severe period is the first 1 to 2 days, during which symptoms such as severe coughing and a runny nose are more pronounced. It is recommended to always pay attention to keeping warm and avoid getting chilled to prevent worsening the condition. If the cold is severe, it is crucial to go to a formal hospital in time and treat the symptoms based on the doctor's guidance. Additionally, one can use some anti-inflammatory and wind-cold fighting medicines for effective treatment, which can help improve the cold and hasten the healing process.
Where to apply moxibustion for plantar fasciitis?
In cases of plantar fasciitis, moxibustion on acupuncture points such as Zu San Li and Qu Chi can effectively alleviate pain. However, relying solely on moxibustion for treatment is not very effective; it only serves as a supplementary role. For treating fasciitis, it is crucial to rest adequately and avoid excessive fatigue. Shockwave therapy can be utilized for treatment and requires a prolonged, gradual approach to condition management. Daily warm water foot soaks can also help mitigate symptoms and accelerate healing.
How to deal with a cold caused by deficient fire?
Deficiency fever colds are generally caused by congenital insufficiencies and bodily weakness, leading to pathogenic yin. It may also result from imbalances between yin and yang, or dysfunction of the spleen. For this type of cold, there is no need to panic, as it can be managed with traditional Chinese medicine. Colds relating to deficiency fever typically manifest with symptoms such as oral sores, dizziness, headaches, irritability, and insomnia. Effective improvement can be achieved by taking medicine that reduces deficiency heat. Alternatively, maintaining a light and simple diet can effectively help improve gastrointestinal digestion. (Medicine should be used under the guidance of a professional doctor.)
Is it good to run and sweat when you have a cold caused by wind-cold?
Patients with a cold caused by exposure to cold and wind are advised to rest as much as possible and avoid running and sweating, as this could lead to catching a chill and potentially worsening the cold. If you are indoors, running and sweating can be okay, but make sure not to expose yourself to drafts afterwards. It's best to sit down and rest to ease the sweating before resuming activities. If the condition is severe, medication can be taken for effective improvement. Also, avoid consuming stimulating, greasy, or cold foods in your diet; instead, drink plenty of water and urinate frequently to help effectively improve your condition.
How to regulate infertility caused by cold in the body?
Patients with cold-induced infertility can eat some foods that expel cold, such as adzuki beans, Chinese yam, coix seeds, and jujube, which can effectively help eliminate cold from the body. They can also drink chrysanthemum tea, fat sea, and honeysuckle tea, which can help regulate the body. It is also important to avoid cold, stimulating, and greasy foods, and it is recommended to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to aid digestion in the gastrointestinal tract. Additionally, methods such as steam sauna, soaking feet in warm water, cupping, and moxibustion can effectively help expel cold and improve symptoms of infertility.
