艾灸驅寒不求人
李太:「我難以外出曬太陽、做運動,有甚麼方法可以改善怕冷體質?」
CheckCheckCin:想改善怕冷體質,可以適量進食補陽驅寒作用的食材,例如人參、靈芝、冬蟲夏草、蟲草花、舞茸菇、羊肉、生薑、車厘子、桃等,另外亦可使用艾灸提升陽氣,驅寒暖身。艾灸是中醫針灸中的灸法,透過點燃艾葉製成的艾炷薰燙穴位,達到溫經通絡、行氣活血、祛濕除寒的功效,坊間有各式各樣的艾灸產品,方便在家使用。如果使用艾條,燃點後在距離皮膚2至3厘米位置移動,記得感到暖暖的就要移動,以免燙傷。
艾灸「路線」:
1. 由大腳趾至膝蓋內側,小腿內側來回暖薰2-3次。左右腳重複。
2. 由大拇指至手關節,前臂內側來回暖薰2-3次。左右手重複。

Moxibustion helps dispel cold
Mrs. Lee: “I don’t have time to go for a walk in the sun, and am too busy to exercise. Are there other ways to improve cold aversion body type?”
CheckCheckCin: To improve cold aversion body type, we can consume ingredients that replenish yang and dispel cold. For example, ginseng, Lingzhi, cordyceps, cordyceps flower, maitake mushroom, lamb, ginger, cherry, and peach.
Alternatively, we could also try moxibustion to boost our yang to dispel cold and warm the body. Moxibustion is a type of Chinese acupuncture technique, whereby moxa cones, which are made from Chinese mugwort, are used to burn on the acu points. Doing so can warm the Meridians, improve the circulation of the qi, invigorate the blood, eliminate dampness, and dispel cold from the body.
There are many types of moxibustion products available in the market, and they are suitable for us to use at home. If we were to use moxa sticks, do keep a distance of about 2-3cm away from the body. Remember to move the sticks constantly whenever we feel a heat to avoid burning the skin.
A how-to guide for moxibustion:
1. From the big toe to the inner part of the knees and then the inner calf. Repeat the process 2-3 times for both legs.
2. From the thumb to the joints of the fingers and then the inner part of the arm. Repeat the process 2-3 times for both arms.
