Autumn is not just lack of water, dry lips

There are people, one to fall and winter, chapped lips was terrible, and the lips do not say one blood scab, and he (she) when talking to you even bear to see him (her) laugh, because the smile, that end of the scab The lips may accidentally has been bursting ... ...
Chinese medicine believes that such a person, probably more than just water only.

Chapped lips, many problems
Nanning people Miss Zeng said: "Every fall and winter, my lips are not done, a change of lipstick and a brand, not a moisture does not allow me to keep peeling lips, and the worse the more dry rub."
"My husband may have been the end of the body is hot, his lips are reddish color to the fall and winter seasons, and he did not drink less water, but has been very dry lips and also peeling. He also likes to lick their lips, the more the more licking dry, white lips dander often difficult to see ... ... "Ms Wu Nanning people have the same feelings.
Guangxi Traditional Chinese Internal Medicine Expert Building Gui, deputy director of the Tang memory, said Dr Recently the weather changes, many people came to him when he observed that many people have dry lips situation. He believes this is partly because the body of water shortage, partly because too much cold drinks in summer, leading to the spleen and stomach damage, delay conditioning, which is reflected in the lips.

Lips are a reflection of the strength of the spleen
TCM theory holds that "Spleen opens into the mouth, the Chinese in the lip." This means that the color of the lips and the spleen of the situation are closely linked, so the spleen is the key to prevent chapped lips.
Gui Tang explained that kept many people know is the body heat of dry lips, dry, but the fundamental reason is because the spleen and stomach function properly, causing inflammation in the fire, coupled with the fall weather is dry, dry the outside with dry and acting on the body , is easy to chapped lips.
If dry lips to the point where water can ease the Tang Gui deposit proposal, but will tune up the spleen and stomach to eat some food, because this is a reflection of the spleen.

Spleen eat too much food than pay
Chinese medicine emphasizes "Yang Yang spring and summer, autumn and winter Yin," that in autumn and winter should be extra careful to protect the body of Yin Ye. In addition to this season of cold dry air partial victory, the people are many wrong habits can easily Hao Shang Yin Ye.
For example, Tang Gui-mentioned deposits, over-heating and over-pay are not appropriate. Some home or office prematurely turn up the heat, people out when the large temperature difference, this easy hot environment the body's Yin Ye Hao Shang; and in a timely manner is necessary to add the right amount of water to prevent drying lips, but if one drink lots of water, then dry and not only can not solve the problem, but likely to cause the body water and electrolyte imbalance, or even lead to water intoxication.
So keep Gui Tang suggested tonic or medicine by way of compensation spleen blood, and then change the external dry, chapped symptoms. Such as eat yam, with the effect Yin Spleen; eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, such as bean sprouts, rapeseed, Chinese cabbage, radish and other vitamin-rich vegetables and plenty of fresh water pears and other fruits, increase the body of water to reduce chapped lips; should eat more Yin lungs items, such as sesame, honey. Try to eat onions, garlic and other spicy food, less alcohol, because alcohol will speed up the body of water evaporation.
In drugs, Ophiopogon, habitat Jianshui drink, have the role of Yin; Angelica, Radix can Jianshui drink, you can also cook soup, cooking, adding, with a blood effect.
Chapped lips, especially in the fall if, in addition to lipstick, drink plenty of water, should also consider the weakness of the spleen caused by the body.
