Scarves are actually a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, but 99% of people don’t know it!

If I ask you, what is a scarf for? 99% of people will answer that it keeps you warm and protects you from the sun. In fact, you don’t understand that a scarf is also a kind of medicine. Since it is a medicine, let's see what effects the scarf has!

Effect 1. Prevent colds and say goodbye to green onions!

Are you still eating onions and garlic to prevent colds? Actually, a scarf can solve the problem. In traditional Chinese medicine, the neck is the most vulnerable part of the body to wind and cold in winter. If you can protect your neck well, it will be more effective than eating onions and garlic.

Many people still wonder why they catch colds in the summer and why they don’t get better for a long time?

Most of the time it's caused by air conditioning. The indoor temperature is low, while the outdoor temperature is very high. The high and low temperatures cause your resistance to drop. A scarf can help you prevent air-conditioning disease.

Effect 2. Less neck exposure, no cervical spondylosis

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness and fire are the six factors that cause disease, among which wind and cold rank the top two. The neck is the "fortress" of the human body. The neck is full of blood vessels and there are many important acupoints, such as the Dazhui point, Fengchi point on the cervical spine, and the Jianjing point that extends to the shoulder. Therefore, winter is the season when cervical spondylosis is most prevalent, so a scarf can protect you from the cold and keep you away from disease.

Effect 3. Wear the scarf well and your back will not be a problem

In winter, if you don’t wear high-necked clothes, the slightest cold wind will penetrate into your neck and your whole body will shiver. Therefore, the neck is most afraid of cold. Especially modern people use computers for a long time, which can easily cause neck muscle stiffness.

If the winter cold wind attacks, the back will get cold, the muscles will easily spasm and ache, and this pain will radiate to the upper shoulder and scapular area. If you are exposed to cold repeatedly for a long time, you may suffer from a cold at the very least, or rheumatism at the worst.

Effect 4. Keep warm in winter and stay awake all day

Scarves can promote blood circulation and relieve fatigue. Whether in the cold winter or the cool indoor summer, scarves are your best match.

Postscript: Do you think scarves are a special kind of Chinese medicine? Scarves can not only keep you healthy, but also bring you infinite beauty. Is a scarf the only thing between you and nobility?
