Say goodbye to sub-health! Health knowledge that office white-collar workers must know

A shower is better than a bath for relaxing. Because the impact of the water column has a pushing effect, it can promote blood circulation, said Dr. Zheng Zhenhong. Generally, herbal baths use herbs that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. After bathing, the herbs are absorbed through the skin to achieve the desired effect. But don't take a bath for more than 20 minutes.

Massage is effective in relieving fatigue and eliminating muscle tension. When office workers feel tired, they can use essential oils such as rosemary, mint, eucalyptus, etc. to slowly massage their neck, which has a stimulating effect, suggests aromatherapy teacher Wen Youjun.

Studies have found that some slow sexual activities can also help secrete endorphins and make people happy.

Traditional Chinese medicine recommends that people with qi deficiency (generally office workers) can soak American ginseng (3 qian), astragalus (5 qian), and 2 to 3 red dates in water for drinking. For those with yang deficiency (usually those over 50 years old), use half Korean ginseng and half Cordyceps sinensis, soak them in water and drink them as tea.

People who often feel dry mouth can use fried cassia seeds, white chrysanthemum and wolfberry in a 1:1 ratio to make tea, which can improve eyesight and refresh the mind. Or you can change to malt, red dates or licorice. Experts suggest that it is best to brew and drink the health tea on the same day to avoid the Chinese medicinal materials being oxidized and losing their effects.
