忽冷忽熱防範風邪
風邪，中醫理論中的外在因素的致病原因之一，風邪致病最急而且變化最多，多從皮毛而入。風邪有三大特性，一、到處游走，來去無踨，風邪致病多無固定部位，例如風癩、風濕性關節痛；二、搖動不定，風吹會使東西搖動，所以風邪致病多有震顫、抽搐等症狀，例如中風；三、輕浮向上，風邪致病多影響皮膚和身體上半部份，例如頭痛、咳嗽、鼻敏感、面癱等。
想防範風邪侵襲就要注意保暖，避免忽冷忽熱的情況，例如晨早起床從溫暖被窩鑽出來，宜披外套保暖；炎夏從戶外跳進冷氣大開的商場或辦公室時宜添衣；運動後一身汗切忌立即沖凍水涼或灌冰水；避免對著風口給冷氣或風扇直吹。平日多注意頸背的保暖，因為從後腦到背部有三個以風命名的穴位——風府、風門、風池，風邪容易順著這些穴位入侵身體，而感冒時按壓這些穴位有助紓緩感冒引致的不適。
風府穴
位置：頭頸交界，頭部正中線後髮際上1寸
功效：紓緩感冒不適、咽喉腫痛、落枕等。
風池穴
位置：於後頸，後頭骨下，2條大筋外緣陷窩中，相當於耳垂齊平。
功效：紓緩頭痛、肩膊痠痛等不適。
風門穴
位置：背部第二胸椎棘突下旁開1.5寸處，約與肩胛骨上角相平。
功效：紓緩感冒、肺炎、咳嗽等不適。
Prevent wind pathogen in unpredictable weather
Wind pathogen is one of the causes of illnesses from chinese medicine perspective. Wind pathogen causes illness abruptly and is very variable. It mostly invades skin, and there are three major characteristics of wind pathogen. First of all, there are usually no fixed affected parts, for example it can lead to blotchy rash or rheumatoid arthritis. Secondly, as wind moves, wind pathogen will cause symptoms such as trembling and cramps, such as stroke. Thirdly, wind pathogen mostly affects the skin and upper part of the body, causing headache, cough, nasal sensitivity, facial paralysis and so on.
If you want to prevent the invasion of wind pathogen, you must keep warm during unpredictable weather. For example, you should wear a coat to keep warm after waking up. You should wear more clothes when you enter the air-conditioned shopping mall or office in the hot summer. You should not immediately have a cool show after doing exercise. Avoid seats near the fan vent or air condition. You should keep your neck and back warm, as there are three acupoints points related to wind in Chinese- Feng Fu Point, Feng Chi Point and Feng Men Point. Wind pathogen easily invades the body along these points. Press these points to relieve the discomfort due to cold/flu.
Feng Fu Point
Position: junction of head and neck, the midline of the head and 1 inch behind the hairline
Effects: relieves cold/flu discomfort, sore throat, stiff neck
Feng Men Point
Position: 1.5 inches lateral to the posterior midline, on the level of the lower border of the spinous process of the 2nd thoracic vertebra, same level with superior Angle of scapula
Effects: relieves discomfort such as cold/flu, pneumonia, cough
