Revealing the methods of detoxification and health preservation for the five internal organs in autumn

Many people get sick easily in autumn. That’s because autumn damages the lungs, which can easily reduce people’s immunity, making them more susceptible to illness. The bottom line is that we need to nourish the five internal organs and help them detoxify, so that our lung function will be strong and our immunity will be improved. So how to maintain health in autumn and how to detoxify the five internal organs? Let's take a look.

Lung detoxification: If there are toxins in the lungs,

1. The skin is rusty and dull. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lungs control the skin of the entire body. Whether the skin is moisturized and fair depends on the good function of the lungs. When there are more toxins in the lungs, the toxins will be deposited on the skin through the action of the lungs, making the skin look dull.

2. Constipation. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lungs and large intestine form a system. When there are toxins in the lungs above, there will be abnormal congestion in the intestines below, resulting in constipation.

3. Sentimental and easily sad. Toxins in the lungs will interfere with the circulation of qi and blood in the lungs, making it impossible for the lungs to relieve the stuffiness in the chest normally, causing people to become depressed and sentimental.

How to detox more smoothly

1. Radish is a detoxifying food for the lungs. In the eyes of traditional Chinese medicine, the large intestine and the lungs have the closest relationship. The extent to which the lungs expel toxins depends on whether the large intestine is unobstructed. Radishes can help the large intestine excrete old feces. They can be eaten raw or mixed into a cold dish.

2 Lily improves the lung's ability to resist toxins. The lungs don’t like dry air. In dry conditions, toxins can easily accumulate. Mushrooms and lilies have good lung-nourishing and yin-nourishing effects, which can help the lungs fight toxins. When eating them, the processing time should not be too long, otherwise the juice in the lilies will be reduced and the anti-toxin effect will be greatly reduced.

3. Press the key points for lung detoxification. The acupoint that is beneficial to the lungs is the Hegu point, which is located on the back of the hand, between the 1st and 2nd metacarpal bones, at the midpoint of the radial side of the 2nd metacarpal bone. You can pinch this area with your thumb and index finger and press hard.

4. Sweat and detoxify. The lungs control the skin, so sweating profusely and letting the sweat carry away toxins from the body will refresh our lungs. In addition to exercise, another way to sweat is to take a hot bath. Add some ginger and peppermint essential oil to the water before bathing to make sweat secretion more comfortable and expel toxins from deep inside the body.

5. Take a deep breath. Every time you breathe, there are residual waste gases in your lungs that cannot be expelled. These waste gases are also a toxin compared to fresh, oxygen-rich air. Just a few deep breaths can reduce the residual waste gas in the body.

Best time to detoxify the lungs

The lungs are strongest between 7 and 9 a.m., and it is best to detoxify through exercise at this time. Doing aerobic exercises such as jogging when the lungs are at their strongest can strengthen the lungs' ability to expel toxins.

Kidney detoxification: If there are toxins in the kidneys,

1. Small amount of menstrual flow, short menstrual period, and dark color. The occurrence and disappearance of menstruation are both manifestations of whether the kidney function is strong. If there are many toxins in the kidneys, menstrual blood will decrease.

2. Edema. The kidneys manage the flow of fluid in the body. When toxins accumulate in the kidneys, the ability to excrete excess fluid is reduced, resulting in edema.

3. Acne on the jaw. The lower jaw area of ​​the face is governed by the kidneys. If the kidneys are not detoxifying enough, excess toxins will appear in the lower jaw area.

4. Get tired easily. The toxins in the body consume the energy of the kidneys, and the energy provided by the kidneys decreases, causing fatigue, tiredness, drowsiness, and weakness in the limbs.

How to detox more smoothly

1. Kidney detoxifying food: winter melon. Winter melon is rich in juice. Once it enters the human body, it will stimulate the kidneys to increase urine and excrete toxins from the body. When eating, you can use winter melon to make soup or stir-fry it, and try to make the taste lighter.

2. Kidney anti-toxic food: yam. Although yam can nourish many organs at the same time, it is mainly used to nourish the kidneys. Eating yam regularly can enhance the kidney's detoxification function. Candied yam is a very good way to eat it. The yam "cooked" with caramel will have a correspondingly enhanced effect in nourishing the kidney and resisting toxins.

3. Press the key point for liver detoxification: Yongquan point. This is the lowest acupuncture point in the human body. If the human body is a building, this acupuncture point would be the outlet of the sewage pipe. Regularly massaging it will have obvious detoxification effects. The Yongquan point is located in the front 1/3 of the sole of the foot (excluding the toes when calculating). This point is relatively sensitive, so do not use too much force. Just feel a little. It is best to press and rub it at the same time, and continue for about 5 minutes.

Best time for kidney detoxification

The best time for the kidneys to detoxify is from 5 to 7 in the morning. After a night of repair, toxins gather in the kidneys in the morning. Therefore, it is best to drink a glass of water in the morning to flush the kidneys and excrete toxins.

Heart detoxification: If the heart has toxins, it will manifest in

1. Tongue ulcers. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the tongue and the heart have the closest relationship, so when ulcers appear on the tongue, it is usually considered to be due to internal heat in the heart, or fire poison.

2. Acne on the forehead. The forehead is a territory under the jurisdiction of the heart. When the heart fire is strong and becomes fire poison, this territory will also boil, and many pimples will appear one after another.

3. Insomnia and palpitations. The heart is working non-stop. When the fire poison stays in the heart and cannot be eliminated, sleep will not be peaceful.

4. Chest tightness or stabbing pain. Blood stasis in the heart is also a kind of toxin, just like a traffic jam on the road. Mild symptoms include chest tightness, while severe symptoms include tingling.

How to detox more smoothly

1. Eat bitter food to detoxify. The first choice is lotus seed core, which tastes bitter and can disperse heart fire. Although it is cold in nature, it will not damage the body's yang energy, so it has always been considered the best food for dissolving heart heat and toxins. You can make tea with lotus seed cores. You might as well add some bamboo leaves or raw licorice to enhance the detoxification effect of the lotus seed cores.

2. Press the key points for detoxification of the heart. This refers to Shaofu point, which is located in the palm of the hand, between the 4th and 5th metacarpal bones, between the tips of the little finger and ring finger when making a fist. You may press this point with some force, alternating between your left and right hands.

3. Mung beans are diuretic and detoxifying. Mung beans can dissolve and excrete toxins from the heart through diuretic and heat-clearing methods, but mung beans should be eaten in liquid form, such as mung bean milk or mung bean soup. The effect of mung bean cake will be worse.

Best time to detoxify your heart

11:00-1:00 noon is the time when the heart is strongest. You can eat some heart-protecting and detoxifying foods, such as Poria cocos, nuts, soybeans, black sesame seeds, jujubes, lotus seeds, etc.

Spleen detoxification: If the spleen is toxic,

1. Pigmentation spots appear on the face. Women with freckles usually have weaker digestive systems.

2. Excessive vaginal discharge. The spleen is responsible for removing moisture from the body. If there is too much moisture and it exceeds the capacity of the spleen, there will be excessive moisture in the body, and increased vaginal discharge is one of the manifestations.

3. Fat accumulation. Fat has another name in traditional Chinese medicine: phlegm and dampness. It is caused by poor digestive function of the spleen, which cannot excrete waste and toxins from the body in time. Effective weight loss must focus on restoring the normal metabolism of phlegm and dampness in the spleen and stomach, otherwise it will rebound.

4. Obvious bad breath, acne or ulcers around the lips. The area around the lips belongs to the spleen. When the toxins in the spleen cannot be excreted from the body, the accumulated toxins will look for opportunities to burst out from these places.

How to detox more smoothly

1. Eating sour food helps the spleen detoxify. For example, black plums and vinegar are the best foods to dissolve toxins in food. They can enhance the digestive function of the stomach and intestines, and excrete toxins in food from the body in the shortest time. At the same time, sour foods also have the effect of strengthening the spleen and can serve as a good "anti-toxic food".

2. Press the key points for spleen detoxification. This refers to Shangqiu point, which is located in the depression below the front of the inner ankle. Press and rub the point with your fingers, maintaining a feeling of soreness and heaviness. Do it for about 3 minutes each time, alternating between the two feet.

3. Take a walk after dinner. Exercise can help the spleen and stomach digest and speed up the excretion of toxins, but it requires long-term persistence to achieve better results.

Best time for spleen detoxification

After meals is the time when toxins are most likely to be produced. If food cannot be digested or absorbed in time, a lot of toxins will accumulate. In addition to taking a walk after a meal, you can also eat a piece of fruit one hour after a meal to help strengthen the spleen and detoxify, because sweet taste can strengthen the spleen.

Liver detoxification: If the liver has toxins, it will manifest in

1. There are raised ridges or depressions on the surface of the nails. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the liver governs the tendons" and nails are part of the "tendons", so when toxins accumulate in the liver, there will be obvious signals on the nails.

2. Breast hyperplasia occurs, and premenstrual breast pain increases significantly. The mammary gland is a fortress on the route of the liver meridian. Once there is "poison" in the liver meridian, breast hyperplasia will occur immediately. Especially when menstrual blood is about to be discharged, it will become obviously swollen and painful due to the fullness of qi and blood.

3. Easily depressed. The liver is the organ in the body that regulates emotions. Once the toxins in the liver cannot be discharged in time, the flow of qi will be blocked, which will cause obvious negative emotions.

4. Migraine, acne on both sides of the face, and dysmenorrhea. The two sides of the face and the lower abdomen are the "three-acre land" of the Liver Meridian and its partner, the Gallbladder Meridian. Once the liver's detoxification is not smooth, the backyard will catch fire first.

How to detox more smoothly

1. Eat green foods. According to the Five Elements Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, green foods can promote the flow of liver qi, and have a good effect in soothing the liver, relieving depression, and alleviating emotions. They are foods that help the liver detoxify. Chinese medicine experts recommend green oranges or lemons, which can be made into green orange juice or green lemon water with the skin on and drunk directly.

2. Lycium barbarum improves liver tolerance. In addition to detoxification, the liver's ability to resist toxins should also be enhanced. The first food to recommend is wolfberry, which has a good effect in protecting the liver and can improve the liver's tolerance to toxins. It is best to chew it when eating, and eat a small handful every day.

3. Press the key points for liver detoxification. This refers to Taichong point, which is located in the depression before the junction of the first and second metatarsal bones on the dorsum of the foot. Use your thumb to massage for 3 to 5 minutes until you feel a slight soreness. Do not use too much force and press alternately with your feet.

4. Tears detoxification method. Compared with men who never cry, women live longer, which may be related to tears. Traditional Chinese medicine has long recognized this, and it has also been confirmed by Western medicine. Tears, as excretory fluids, just like sweat and urine, do contain some biochemical toxins that are harmful to the body. So, when you feel uncomfortable, wronged, or depressed, just cry. For those "optimists", watching a sad movie on a weekend afternoon and letting tears flow with the plot is also an active way to detoxify.
