Do you get angry from staying up late? Chinese medicine can help you stay healthy even if you stay up late!

Staying up late has become a common behavior, because in modern society, especially men living in big cities, are very interested in nightlife. They work during the day and go to nightclubs at night. As a result, they get angry and are prone to illness. So, how can we reduce the harm caused by staying up late?

Staying up late can easily cause irritation

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that night is the time when yang energy decreases and yin energy increases, and it is a good time to fall asleep peacefully. If you do not sleep from midnight to early morning, the yang energy in the human body will not be able to rest properly, and staying up late will easily damage the yin energy. In addition, this period is the time when autumn dryness is strong, so the body is prone to getting angry, and symptoms such as dizziness, sore throat, fever and thirst, constipation, and yellow urine will appear. In addition to drinking more water, quitting smoking and drinking, adjusting diet, and keeping a regular work and rest schedule, pressing two acupoints can also help reduce fire.

The first one is Zhaohai Cave

Zhaohai acupoint is located on the inner side of the foot, in the depression below the tip of the inner ankle. Zhao means to shine, and Hai means flood. As the name suggests, Zhaohai refers to the fact that the kidney meridian water evaporates in large quantities here, which has the effect of absorbing heat. Pressing this acupoint can relieve symptoms such as dry throat, red eyes, and insomnia caused by Yin deficiency and excessive fire. When pressing, you can feel soreness, numbness, and swelling; the pressing time should not be too long, 5 to 10 minutes is enough.

The second one is Yongquan acupoint

This acupoint is located at the 1/3 of the front part of the sole (excluding the toes) and the connecting line between the two sides of the foot. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine mentions that "the kidney comes from the Yongquan, and the Yongquan is the center of the foot", which means that the Qi of the kidney meridian is like the water of a spring, gushing out to irrigate all parts of the body and limbs. This acupoint is very meaningful for nourishing yin and reducing fire, and can relieve dry mouth, dizziness, anxiety, etc. caused by getting angry. The method is to put the thumb on the acupoint and rub it with strong force for 20 to 30 times. The massage effect is better when you get up in the morning and before going to bed.
