How do people with a lack of energy survive the winter?
Some friends feel that their chests are stuffy and they are very tired after winter. Such friends are qi deficient, especially lack of heart qi. Heart Qi is related to Zong Qi and Lung Qi. The weather is cold in winter, and the body needs to consume more energy to resist the cold. If the heart energy is insufficient, the body's ability to resist cold evil will decline, and people will feel powerless. Accumulation of insufficient heart-qi will lead to insufficient lung-qi, insufficient heart-lung qi, and shortness of breath after a little exercise. If Qi deficiency lasts for a long time, Yang deficiency will appear.
Therefore, in winter, we must pay attention to replenishing our mind. One is to "save", reduce work, reduce desire, and hide yang energy. The second is tonic. Winter is a good time to accumulate energy. As long as you don’t have a phlegm-damp constitution or a particularly strong liver fire, you can take a proper tonic. Ginseng is the first choice for qi.
The best time to include ginseng slices is in the morning. Under normal circumstances, we can use raw sun-dried ginseng, or choose ordinary garden ginseng.
