Taking a bath is a very common physiological phenomenon. Modern people take a bath almost every day to clean the skin and relax the body pressure. It is a very good living habit to insist on taking a bath, which can better maintain physical health and wash away the fatigue of the day.

As the saying goes: "bathing in the morning kills yang, and taking a bath in the evening creates dampness." There are many impressive sayings and sayings circulating in the folk. These sayings seem to be nonsense, but in fact they contain deep truth.

Taking a shower in the morning kills yang, and taking a shower at night creates dampness, what does it mean?

【What is Yang Qi? 】

Yang qi generally refers to the innate qi of human beings. The kidney is the innate source and the main source of yang qi in the body. Oxygen mainly exists in the human kidney and fills the whole body.

Yang qi is an important substance for maintaining good health. It provides energy and nutrition based on internal organs. People's daily walking, growth and development are inseparable from yang. Bad living habits will not only accelerate the consumption of yang in the body, but also lead to yang deficiency.

After the occurrence of yang deficiency, abnormal symptoms such as fear of cold, numbness of hands and feet, cold limbs, loose stools and mental fatigue will appear. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, if there is too much water in the human body, it will also accelerate the consumption of oxygen, which is extremely detrimental to health.

【What is moisture? 】

Nine out of ten people are wet, which means dampness. Nowadays, more and more women do not pay attention to keeping warm or eat raw and cold food, which leads to a large amount of dampness and cold invading the body, increasing their symptoms of internal dampness and external dampness.

If the body is cold and not adjusted in time, it will cause excessive accumulation of moisture in the body, increase water, endocrine disorders, hormone metabolism disorders, induce spleen and stomach deficiency and other symptoms, and also increase the burden on women's uterus and ovaries, affecting future fertility and aggravating Menstrual cramps.

As the saying goes: "Take a shower in the morning to kill yang, and take a shower at night to generate moisture", when is the best time to take a bath?

Both yang qi and dampness belong to the category of traditional Chinese medicine.

Chinese medicine believes that the morning is the season when all things germinate, and it is also the time when the yang qi is relatively strong. If you take a bath immediately after getting up in the morning, it is likely to extinguish the yang qi and even accelerate the loss of yang qi in the body.

The morning is the most abundant period of yang qi. Immediately taking a bath in the morning will cause a large amount of yang qi loss in the body, which will also affect the normal operation of internal organs.

After a night of metabolism and detoxification, when you wake up in the morning, your body will be in a state of extreme fatigue. Taking a bath, especially a cold one, can introduce a lot of cold and moisture into your body. Men are yang, women are yin. Whether men and women take a bath in the morning, it will accelerate the consumption of yang energy in the body, easily aggravate the cold constitution, and affect the metabolism and detoxification function of internal organs.

Bathing at night is said to produce moisture because most people don't dry their hair in time after a shower. They often keep their hair in mind. Sleeping will aggravate the cold phenomenon in the body, make the body water, and increase the invasion of cold.
