——What is Yang Qi?
The so-called yang qi is actually the true qi in the body, which is what people say The vitality of the human body is mainly hidden in the human kidney. “Yellow Emperor’s Canon of Internal Medicine” said, “Yang transforms qi, yin forms”, yang qi transforms into the energy needed by the human body, and maintaining yang qi is the foundation of health preservation and treatment of diseases.

As the saying goes: Take a bath in the morning to eliminate Yang Qi, and take a bath in the evening to generate moisture, so when is the right time to take a bath?
About taking a bath in the morning or taking a bath at night, it doesn’t matter whether it’s Chinese medicine or Western medicine The scientific conclusion, if it is from the perspective of Chinese medicine, there are two viewpoints:
Because the morning is the human body When the yang qi is growing, the body itself is weak, and a little carelessness in bathing at this time may damage the yang qi of the body. When taking a bath, the pores are all open, and the yang qi is easy to leak out. At night, the human body will adapt to changes in the environment, and the yang energy is relatively weak. At this time, it is easy to feel external evils.
If you often take a bath at night, the wet hair will increase the moisture in the head, and if you feel sleepy for a long time, the wind may rise and fall, and the air will rise on the head, which will cause headaches or even dizziness repeatedly.
There is no clear rule on which time period is suitable for taking a bath, but there are some things that should be paid attention to when taking a bath , Take a bath in the morning to control the water temperature, try to wash and dry your hair two hours before going to bed at night, as long as you pay attention to these problems, bathing still has many benefits for your body.
