A Book That Addresses Women's Health Issues

Chapter 2 To cure a disease, you must cure the root cause, and to maintain your beauty, you must nourish your yin

We all know that any disease has both causes and symptoms.Symptoms are only the appearance of the disease. If you want to cure the disease, you must find the cause of the disease and its pathogenesis. Eliminate it fundamentally, and the symptoms will disappear automatically.As the "Huangdi Neijing" said: "The treatment of a disease must be based on the root." The person who can examine the disease and seek the cause from the "root" is the real master of the disease.Just like treating a disease, nourishing the skin also requires nourishing the root.For a 30-year-old woman, what exactly is beauty? The "Huangdi Neijing" reveals the meaning inside and outside the words-women are mainly yin and blood, so it is said that the essence of women's beauty is to nourish yin.The slogan of a world-renowned cosmetics brand says this - "every woman has the right and obligation to pursue self-improvement".I believe that many female friends will buy the company's products because of this slogan, but can you make yourself beautiful all your life just by relying on cosmetics?Of course not.After all, it is only a matter of time to maintain one's appearance with cosmetics alone. Just like flowers and trees, it is difficult to achieve the beauty of flowers and leaves by just sprinkling water on the leaves.How to do it?Obviously, only when the rhizome of the whole plant has experienced the moistening of rain and dew from the inside to the outside, can it have luxuriant branches and leaves, beautiful flowers and fruit, and maintain the beauty and vitality of life.

From the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, women are like flowers and trees, which need to replenish water fundamentally.Just as Jia Baoyu said: "Women are made of water." One sentence explains the answer to the beauty of women in ancient and modern times - for women to be beautiful, they must have water.According to traditional Chinese medicine, it is to nourish yin and nourish yin, and to go deeper, it is to pay attention to the cultivation of internal organs. What is "Yin"?Maybe everyone has experienced this feeling: it is easy to get thirsty after eating fried food, because once these dehydrated foods enter our body, they will quickly absorb the water in our body, so if you eat too much, you will feel thirsty. Dry mouth.In fact, what these fried and baked foods absorb is not water, but body fluid.Body fluids in the body include water, endocrine, blood, etc. These are the external manifestations of "yin".When many female friends reach the age of 30, their skin becomes dry and dull. This is not caused by too much yang qi but insufficient yin qi. Weak yin qi cannot effectively remove yang.It's like a tree, if it lacks water, it will become dead wood, and the dead wood will catch fire when it sees fire.Therefore, female friends with weak yin qi are most likely to show symptoms of getting angry. In addition to bad skin, the temper will also become violent.

We say that the root of women’s beauty is to nourish yin, but this does not mean that women should not nourish yang. The body can only achieve the final healthy balance if the balance of yin and yang is achieved.There are also many modern women with yang deficiency. They are cold and afraid of cold, overweight, and in poor mental state. These are the external manifestations of yang deficiency.However, due to women's special physiological reasons, they are more prone to yin deficiency.Therefore, in the process of maintaining health and beauty, women should focus on nourishing yin and supplemented by nourishing yang.According to common sense, a woman should nourish her yin at the age of 20, but at such a good age, which little beauty is willing to waste time on these things that seem to have nothing to do with beauty (even if these methods are very simple) ?We can forgive all these, after all, you are still young and in good health.But if you don't nourish your yin after the age of 30, it will be too late. The "Huangdi Neijing" says that women's bodies begin to decline after they are 28 years old. Therefore, after you are 28 years old, you must start to take good care of your body.Some people may ask: Is it still too late?If you are 20 or before the age of 20, don’t do too much and don’t torment your body (for example, having sex before the age of 20 is a life-threatening thing; often eating cold food damages the body Qi and blood, etc.), it is completely in time to restore the body at the age of 30. For a 30-year-old woman, as long as her body fluid is strong and Yin Qi is sufficient, her skin will become supple, her whole person will become energetic, and she will eventually become a juicy mature woman.
