【柔弱的富察皇后】 柔弱的背後就是虛寒
#試問有誰不喜歡溫柔的皇后
#心情鬱結也會影響身體

虛寒體質骨痛難眠？
近來《延禧攻略》全城大熱，看到得大家咬牙切齒，劇中的情節也成為大家茶餘飯後的話題。柔弱的皇后為了誕下嫡系龍嗣，冒著虛寒體質，每晚骨痛難眠，也要努力備孕。劇中皇后請純妃為自己每天針灸調理，最終才可冒險成孕。究竟生產後是否會令身體變得虛寒？體質虛寒的人又是否會如劇情般周身骨痛？
中醫有說，產後婦女多虛多寒多瘀，因此需要坐月多加調理，才可令身體更快回復，舊時保暖沒有現在方便，「避風如避箭」，所以才有坐月時不可洗澡的說法，以免受風寒，所以說生產後的防寒保暖調理尤其重要。中醫理論中，如皇后生產後體弱的人，寒濕份外容易乘虛侵襲身體，令氣血及經絡不通，出現背痛及頸肩的痛症；另外，生產後體質多瘀，假如氣血瘀滯，睡覺時更會出現刺骨的背痛，氣息也份外柔弱。其實對於體質易有虛寒，甚至因此而有背痛的人來說，未必一定要如皇后般天天針灸，可以選擇吃有袪風散寒及養血的食物及泡腳也同樣有效！

Losing sleep from bone pain due to asthenic cold body type?
Recently the hit TV show “Story of Yan Xi Palace” has been the discussion topic at dinners and social gatherings. In order to become pregnant, the queen in the show tolerates lack of sleep and bone pain due to asthenic cold body type. She get acupuncture daily and finally conceives successfully. Does the body become asthenic cold post pregnancy? And does bone pain comes with it as the show depicted?
Chinese medicine theory says that ladies post pregnancy do become asthenic, cold and have blood stasis. This is why the recovery process during confinement month is so important. In the old days, staying warm is not as easy, hence the tradition of not bathing in the confinement month to avoid wind pathogen. It is important to stay warm post pregnancy. For those, like the queen, who are very weak after giving birth, they are prone to cold and dampness attack leading to stagnant qi and blood. This leads to back, neck and shoulder pain. Post pregnancy also can create blood stasis and the back pain intensifies during sleep. Those with this condition do not necessarily have to do daily acupuncture like the queen, they can also choose foods that can dispel wind and cold or soaking their feet can help too!
