Eight health secrets of the ancient royal family

Secret recipe 1: Meridian health care

Meridians are a "network" system throughout the human body that controls the flow of blood and qi to ensure the normal functioning of various tissue systems. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine says that meridians have the function of deciding life and death, treating all kinds of diseases, and regulating deficiency and excess. Health experts believe that dredging the meridians can be an important measure for health preservation, and the simplest way is to regularly stimulate, massage and acupuncture three important acupoints, namely Hegu, Neiguan and Zusanli.

Secret recipe 2: nourishing your body

Traditional medicine highly recommends the use of tonic drugs to regulate yin and yang, replenish internal organs, and nourish essence and blood. Reasonable tonic can strengthen the body, prevent diseases and cure illnesses. However, tonic should be taken dialectically and in moderation, and should also be adapted to the four seasons. When taking tonic medicine, if it is a lung tonic, it is more suitable in autumn; if it is a warm tonic, it is more suitable in winter.

Secret recipe three: consolidating essence and maintaining health

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that essence and blood are the essence of human nutrients and the material basis of life. The internal organs can maintain their normal functions only when they are nourished by essence and blood. If sexual desire is not controlled and excessive loss of essence and blood occurs, it will cause physical weakness, numerous diseases and shortened lifespan. And maintaining Yin essence can delay aging.

Secret recipe 4: Diet and health

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that a reasonable diet can regulate the essence and qi, correct the imbalance of yin and yang in the internal organs, prevent and treat diseases, and prolong life. Therefore, in diet, we should pay attention to "broad food" that is, "five grains for nourishment, five fruits for assistance, five animals for benefit, and five vegetables for fill", and we should also pay attention to the harmonization of the five flavors. Otherwise, we will get sick due to nutritional imbalance, physical imbalance, and dysfunction of the five internal organs.

Secret recipe 5: Keep in good health according to the seasons

Secret recipe six: detoxification and health preservation

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that if a person is moody, it will lead to imbalance of yin and yang, qi and blood in the body. Overwork will damage the spleen, while damage to diet will cause dampness, heat, and phlegm. If the six evils are offended and external evils are injured, all kinds of diseases will arise. This pathogenic factor is regarded as "poison" by the human body, so the health-preserving method of "detoxification" is proposed to preserve the true energy.

Secret recipe seven: Calming the mind and maintaining health

Calming the mind plays an important role in traditional health preservation. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spirit is the master of life activities. Keeping the spirit clear and the psychology stable can maintain the vital energy, make the five internal organs harmonious, and help prevent disease, promote health and prolong life. On the contrary, anger hurts the liver, joy hurts the heart, worry hurts the lungs, and fear hurts the kidneys, leading to various physical and mental illnesses.

Secret recipe eight: self-cultivation and health preservation

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that anyone who pursues health and longevity must first start with self-cultivation. In daily life, we should eliminate all kinds of delusions, say more good words, and do more good deeds. Developing good character and doing things that benefit others can make you open-minded and happy.
