How to Expel Coldness?

1. Eliminate Coldness from the Back: The Bladder Meridian, located on the back, covers a large area and is susceptible to coldness. Coldness can remain in the Bladder Meridian, causing shoulder pain and soreness. Scraping is the best method, as the back is the main acupoint of the Bladder Meridian, mainly concentrated on the left and right sides of the back. In daily life, scraping the back, neck, and forehead can help make the meridians more unobstructed.

2. Expel Coldness from the Front of the Body: When symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, and runny nose occur, there is a lot of cold invasion in the meridians in front of the body. The meridians in front of the body are mainly the Large Intestine Meridian and the Stomach Meridian. People with this condition can eliminate coldness through exercise, performing at least one hour of aerobic exercise daily to allow the body to sweat slightly.

3. Lung Coldness: When coldness enters the lungs, the temperature of the nasal tip decreases, and symptoms such as persistent high fever, cough, and thick mucus may appear. During this period, avoid eating cold and raw foods and fruits, and instead eat fresh vegetables and fruits, drinking plenty of water to dilute the mucus.

4. Coldness in the Uterus: When coldness invades the uterus, it can cause menstrual disorders, severe menstrual pain, and clotted menstrual blood for women. People with this condition can place an appropriate amount of motherwort, angelica sinensis, safflower, red ginseng slices, longan, and jujube in a pot and boil them. Drinking this concoction once a day can warm the body and stimulate the discharge of menstrual blood.
