Traditional Chinese Medicine Health Copywriting

Do not follow the trend, do not follow the standards, and adhere to the light weight that matches your own physique and living habits, which is 100 times more effective than sky-high-priced supplements and Internet celebrity special effects.

I'm really not talking nonsense. A while ago, my distant cousin came to complain to me, saying that she drank three bean drinks from a certain health blogger for half a month. The original intention was to get rid of the summer heat, but she ended up having diarrhea for a whole week and her face turned pale. After looking for an experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctor I knew well, I found out that she had a cold constitution with cold spleen and stomach, and her hands and feet were cold all the time. The three-bean drink was made of cold ingredients and was specially designed to clear away the heat that often causes oral ulcers and dry stools. Giving her the drink was completely opposite.

In fact, regarding the idea of ​​​​health preservation, there have always been different emphases in the traditional Chinese medicine circle: doctors who advocate the theory of febrile diseases mostly emphasize that caring for Yang Qi is the foundation. They feel that people nowadays are greedy for coolness, blow air conditioners, and drink too many iced drinks. Only when Yang Qi is depleted will all kinds of diseases occur. The best way to do this is to bask in the sun more, soak your feet more, and avoid cold and cold things every day.； Physicians from the febrile disease school believe that people nowadays generally stay up late at night, eat heavy meals, and have more internal heat accumulation. Blindly replenishing yang will easily lead to internal heat, and it is more appropriate to use proper moisturizing and dredging internal heat. The two views have been arguing for several years. In fact, no one is right or wrong, they just correspond to different groups of people.

I myself have been through a lot of traps in health care in the past few years. At that time, it was popular to eat donkey-hide gelatin cakes to replenish qi and blood. I followed the trend and bought a handmade donkey-hide gelatin cake worth nearly 1,000 yuan. I couldn't help but eat two pieces every day. However, within a month of eating, I developed a bunch of red and swollen acne on my chin and forehead, and I also suffered from bloating and acid reflux. I went to see the doctor, and when I took my pulse, he told me that I have a phlegm-damp constitution, and that the spleen and stomach have weak transport and transformation capabilities. Greasy things like donkey-hide gelatin cannot be digested at all, and they are all blocked in the spleen and stomach, causing dampness and heat. It would be strange not to get acne. Later, I gave all those donkey-hide gelatin cakes to my aunt who was weak in energy and blood and was afraid of the cold despite wearing three pairs of pants in winter. She ate them for two months and said that her knees that hurt from the cold in previous winters were much warmer.

Nowadays, many health-preserving posts on the Internet always like to say "everyone should do this". For example, they say that you should drink eight glasses of water every day to detoxify. However, if you have a spleen deficiency, your stomach will bloate and you will easily become edema when you drink water. Drinking too much will increase the moisture in the body and cannot be discharged at all.； There is also the popular saying "eat carrots in winter and ginger in summer". If you have mouth ulcers and sore throat in summer, and you still drink ginger tea every day, you are just asking for trouble.

In the past few years, I have learned a lot of inexpensive tricks from my Chinese medicine friends. There is no fixed process. I just do it as soon as I think of it: after brushing my teeth in the morning, rub the Shenshu point on the lower back for two minutes. After sitting for a long time at work, I stand up and tap the gallbladder meridian on the outside of the thigh twice. When the weather is good in autumn and winter, I go to the park to bask in the back for 20 minutes. I don’t care when to do it. Just stay longer if you feel comfortable, and go home if you feel uncomfortable. I have persisted with these little technical tricks for almost a year. My feet, which were too cold to sleep in the winter, can now be warmed up within half an hour after getting in bed. Allergic rhinitis, which I suffered from during the change of seasons, has not occurred much this year.

Last week, a colleague came to me and said that her hair loss was terrible recently. She read about black sesame pills on the Internet to nourish her hair, so she bought four boxes of them and took them for half a month. She didn’t see much hair anymore and her stomach hurt first. I asked her to stop taking the sesame pills first. She often suffers from acid reflux and cannot digest oily foods. You know how high the fat content of sesame is. Her hair loss is not due to kidney deficiency at all. It is because she has been working on a project for more than half a month. Her spleen and stomach are so weak that she cannot even digest food. How can she have extra energy and blood to nourish her hair? I asked her to cook some yam and millet porridge to drink every night, and she had to go to bed before 12 o'clock, and she didn't need to take any supplements. She did it for half a month, and yesterday she told me that she only lost a dozen strands when she combed her hair, and her stomach no longer had acid reflux.

In fact, after all, there are really not so many mysterious things in traditional Chinese medicine health care, and you don’t need to spend much money to buy this or that. The most important thing is that you have to learn to listen to the voice of your body: if you feel comfortable eating something, it is suitable for you. If you feel uncomfortable eating something, don’t touch it even if others praise it. Don't always think about finding some magical formula that will last forever. Spend three to five minutes every day doing small things that make you comfortable. If you stick to it, it will be better than anything else.
