Listen to your body and learn that the five internal organs have very different methods of detoxification

The fast pace of life and irregular diet have caused many white-collar workers to store a large amount of "toxins" in their bodies. Detoxification has become the health slogan for many women after the holidays. So, do you know the correct way to detoxify? In fact, when toxins in various parts of the body accumulate to a certain level, they will show different symptoms, and we need to detoxify according to the symptoms.

Detoxification of the stomach

Symptoms: Yellow tongue coating, bad breath, and many people feel "not full".

Detoxification methods:

1. Eat fiber-rich foods and detoxifying foods regularly: black fungus, mung bean soup, pig blood, seaweed (which has a special affinity for radioactive substances), green tea, vegetables and fruits, etc. Use some rhubarb appropriately: the laxative effect of rhubarb is enough to eliminate toxic substances in the intestines.

2. Do sweating exercises once a week, such as running, gymnastics, etc.; take a bath with warm water frequently; wash your feet with hot water every night, because the feet are the largest deposit place of toxins in the body.

3. Eat fiber-rich foods and detoxifying foods regularly: black fungus, mung bean soup, pig blood, seaweed (this food has a special affinity for radioactive substances), green tea, vegetables and fruits, etc.

4. Use some rhubarb appropriately: the laxative effect of rhubarb is enough to eliminate toxic substances in the intestines. Rhubarb can "cleanse the intestines and stomach, bring forth the new through the old, promote the flow of water and food, regulate the digestion of food, and calm the five internal organs."

The best time to detoxify: 5:00~9:00 in the morning, which is the time when the human stomach and intestines are detoxifying.

Spleen detoxification

Symptoms: spots on the face and increased vaginal discharge; the small intestine needs to detoxify: acne appears on the chin.

Detoxification methods:

1. Eating sour food helps the spleen detoxify. For example, black plums and vinegar are the best foods to remove toxins from 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 the best results.

The best time to detoxify: 9-11 a.m. is the spleen meridian period. Doing some spleen-strengthening exercises at this time can increase the spleen's insensitivity.

Kidneys need to detoxify

Symptoms: Facial or body edema, increased fatigue.

Detoxification methods:

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 to detoxify: The best time for the kidneys to detoxify is from 5 to 7 in the morning. After a night of repair, toxins accumulate 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

Symptoms: Ulcers grow on the tongue.

Detoxification methods:

1. Eat bitter food to detoxify. Lotus seed core is the first choice. It tastes bitter and can disperse the heat in the heart. Although it has a cold nature, it will not damage the body's yang energy, so it has always been considered the best food to dissolve the heat and toxins in the heart. You can use lotus seed core to make tea. You may add some bamboo leaves or raw licorice to enhance the detoxification effect of lotus seed core.

2. Press the key acupoint for detoxification of the heart, which refers to Shaofu acupoint, located in the palm of the hand, between the fourth and fifth metacarpal bones, between the tips of the little finger and the ring finger when making a fist. Press this acupoint with some force, alternating between the left and right hands.

3. Mung beans are diuretic and detoxifying. Mung beans can dissolve and expel toxins from the heart by diuresis and heat-clearing methods. However, when eating mung beans, they should be in liquid form, such as mung bean soup or mung bean milk. The effect of solids will be worse.

The best time to detoxify: 11:00-13:00 noon is the time when the heart is the strongest. You can eat some heart-protecting and detoxifying foods, such as Poria cocos, nuts, soybeans, black sesame seeds, jujubes, lotus seeds, etc.

Liver detoxification

Symptoms: There will be obvious signals on the nails.

Detoxification methods:

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.

Best time to detoxify: The liver detoxifies between 11pm and 1am.

Liver detoxification needs to be done during deep sleep, so you should sleep soundly during this period and don't stay up late. If you don't sleep at this time, your liver will be very tired and will definitely be damaged over time, so you must pay attention to ensure adequate sleep at night.
