How to avoid air-conditioning disease

In the summer, most people want to live with air conditioning, because the temperature is relatively high and the weather is hot. If you don’t use air conditioning at this time, you may get heatstroke. But if you are often under the air conditioner, you will get some air-conditioning disease. Air-conditioning disease is particularly difficult to treat, so it should be avoided as much as possible. So how can you avoid air-conditioning disease?

Here are a few simple situations:

1. After entering summer, you will feel your neck and shoulders getting cold, tight and stiff when there is wind or when you use a fan or air conditioner. You should pay attention to this because it means that the cold evil has invaded your cervical spine. If you also have cervical spondylosis, you will feel severe pain. In severe cases, if you catch a cold at night, you will find that you have a stiff neck when you wake up in the morning. In some cases, you may get a stiff neck frequently.

Solution: Increase the temperature of the air conditioner to avoid the air conditioner or fan blowing towards your cervical spine. Wear a scarf when going out at night to keep out the cold. You can also use a hot towel to apply heat to your cervical spine for half an hour every night. Be careful not to catch a cold after the heat compress.

2. After getting up in the morning or waking up at night and turning over, you will feel stiff, sore, and painful in your back, accompanied by difficulty getting up. The symptoms will be relieved or disappear after moving around for a while after getting up. This phenomenon indicates that the evil cold has invaded the bladder meridian and the governing vessel, blocking the meridians in the back, causing Yang Qi to not flow and the evil cold to stagnate, which causes pain.

Solution: Cover yourself with a quilt at night and do not expose your back to prevent cold. You can also wear a thin vest to prevent cold air from invading. You can do moxibustion at home for an average of 40 minutes a day to warm up your back. If you have a fire cup or gas cup at home, cupping for ten minutes will heal you in a few days. If you really don't have one, you can also buy an infrared magic lamp and bake it every day.

How to prevent air conditioning disease

1. Don’t face the air vent directly, otherwise you will easily catch a cold.

2. The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor should not exceed 5 degrees.

3. Maintain regular ventilation.

4. Do not stay in an air-conditioned room for a long time. If you stay in an air-conditioned room for more than four hours, you should go outside for about thirty minutes.

5. Clean the air conditioner regularly to keep the air clean. 6. Try to use air conditioning as little as possible when sleeping. If you use air conditioning, it is best to set it on a timer for 1-2 hours.

Precautions

1. Do not operate the air conditioner frequently and do not switch function modes continuously. Avoid starting the compressor continuously in a short period of time. It is strictly forbidden to restart the compressor within three minutes after it stops.

2. The temperature setting should be appropriate, not too low or too high.

3. When using the air conditioner in summer, the indoor unit should choose to supply air in a direction close to horizontal. When using the air conditioner in winter, the indoor unit should supply air in a direction diagonally downward. Avoid direct sunlight.

4. Keep the air outlet unobstructed.
