Drink more cold-resistant tea

It is very simple and convenient to select medicine according to the body type and use medicine instead of tea. Use boiling water to brew, cover and keep warm. When it is warm, drink it frequently and then continue to brew with boiling water. This method has a certain effect on enhancing the ability to resist wind and cold. For example:

Yang or Qi deficiency constitution: Raw sun ginseng, dang ginseng, astragalus, atractylodes, and siler leaves to replenish Qi, support Yang, consolidate the exterior, and prevent cold.

Daily foot bath with five herbs

Foot bathing can increase the blood temperature in the feet, speed up blood flow, and make blood return more smoothly; it is beneficial to promote the circulation of qi and blood in more than 60 acupuncture points and 6 meridians in the feet. For example:

Blood stasis constitution: safflower, angelica, chuanxiong, zelan leaf, spatholobi, warming the meridians, promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and dredging the meridians;

Yang deficiency constitution: mugwort leaf, eucommia leaf, cinnamon twig, dog spine, dried ginger, to nourish yang, warm the meridians, dispel cold and warm the feet;

Insist on doing this for a whole winter. In addition to the above effects, it can also prevent foot chapped and frostbite, soften foot conjunctivitis, restore fatigue, improve sleep, and have a certain tonic and conditioning effect.
