【禦寒必備】一到冬天大家都修練寒冰掌
⭐又是暖手器出動的時候
⭐貼對暖貼連手腳也不會凍
#星期二提升正能量
最怕冷的五種人
暖貼應該貼邊度？
遇上寒流來襲，明明著衫已經「包到隻糉」仍然覺得凍？從中醫角度來看，氣滯、陽虛、氣虛、血虛體質的人最怕冷，因為寒凝氣滯令熱力未能暢達全身；陽虛人士身體熱能不足，而氣血虛弱的人血液循環不暢，容易出現手腳冰冷的情況。另外，腎虛的人亦特別畏冷，因為腎氣是人體元氣之根本，腎虛人士未能產生足夠體溫以禦寒。
自身燃料不足，唯有借用外來熱力，暖包暖貼就是禦寒恩物，暖包握在手中可以緩解「寒冰掌」，但熱力很快消散。暖貼熱力相對持久，不過記得要貼對位置，抗寒能力才會大增。
暖貼三大位置（建議貼在衣服上的相對位置）
後頸：大椎穴（頸後正中，明顯突起的骨頭位置），有升陽補虛作用。
肚：神闕穴（肚臍正中央）和關元穴（臍下約3寸），有助溫通經絡。
背：腰背的命門穴（與前肚臍中相對），有助固本培元，強身防病。
要注意暖包要貼在衣服上，不宜直接貼在皮膚上，以免燙傷皮膚，或者用手巾包著放在需要位置使用。小孩、長者、皮膚敏感人士使用暖包時要尤其小心，而睡覺時不宜使用暖包暖貼，因為暖包放在床鋪內溫度會比正常高，慎防過熱灼傷。

Five types of people with aversion to cold
Where should we place the heat pad?
Why do we still feel cold when we have wrapped ourselves up like a taco during winter? From the perspective of Chinese Medicine, individuals with the stagnation of the qi, as well as those with deficiency of the yang, qi and blood would develop aversion to cold.
This is because the stagnation of the qi would trap the cold and the circulation of heat in the body becomes disrupted. Individuals with yang deficiency would have a lack of body heat, whereas individuals who are weak in the qi and blood would have poor blood circulation. This is why their limbs are always cold.
Individuals with a weak kidney also have aversion to cold because this organ is the source of the qi in the body. Having a weak kidney also means the body is incapable of producing enough energy to keep the body warm.
If the body cannot provide sufficient heat to keep us warm, we will have to rely on external sources like heat pads and hand warmers. Having hand warmers can keep our palms warm but its effect is not long lasting. On the contrary, heat pads can release heat for a longer time, but make sure you place them on the right spots to maximize its effectiveness.
The three most suitable spots to place heat pads (stick them on the inside of the clothes)
The back of the neck: the Da Zhui acupoint (in the middle of the back of your neck where you can feel the protruding bone); can help replenish yang
Stomach: the Shen Que acupoint (in the middle of the belly button) and Guan Yuan acupoint (3 inches below the belly button); can warm the Meridian and improve its circulation
Back: the Ming Men acupoint (the corresponding spot of belly button on the back); can strengthen and restore the energy of the body as well as strengthen the immune system
Remember to stick the heat pads on the clothes and not on the skin. This is to avoid burning our skin. You can also wrap the heat pads with a towel and place it on specific areas. Children, elders and individuals with sensitive skin should be extra cautious when using heat pads. Avoid using hand warmers and heat pads during sleep. Their temperature would increase when they are placed beneath the blanket, and we might risk burning ourselves during the night.
