Autumn brings the battle to protect your spine! Are you ready to nourish your yang and protect your spine?

With the arrival of autumn, a variety of hidden ailments emerge, including cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, and skin diseases. Autumn and winter are also peak seasons for spinal diseases. If not properly prevented and treated, they could leave you feeling utterly devastated. The spine is the second lifeline of the human body and is very important. Once the spine becomes diseased (misaligned), it will not only cause pain in the neck, shoulders, back, waist and legs, and numbness and pain in the limbs, but will also affect the conduction of visceral nerves, thereby causing visceral diseases, which we call spinal-related diseases.

Is your spine healthy?

► If you frequently experience dizziness, headaches, insomnia, memory loss, migraines, blurred vision, chest tightness and shortness of breath, these symptoms are distress signals from your first and second cervical vertebrae.

► If you experience chest tightness, neck pain, toothache, deafness, shoulder pain, a foreign body sensation in the throat, or trigeminal neuralgia, this indicates problems with your third and fourth cervical vertebrae.

► If you also experience dizziness, decreased vision, tachycardia or bradycardia, upper arm pain or lower limb numbness, neurasthenia, shoulder and neck pain, arrhythmia, hypotension, chills, and numbness and pain in the upper limbs, this indicates problems with your fifth, sixth, and seventh cervical vertebrae.

Why are spinal diseases more common in autumn and winter?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spine is where the Du meridian (Governing Governor Vessel) runs. The Du meridian runs vertically along the center of the spine, and Yang Qi is concentrated in this meridian. In terms of the natural seasons, the summer solstice is the day when Yang energy is at its peak. From that day on, Yang energy gradually weakens, reaching its lowest point during the coldest days of winter. Traditional Chinese Medicine states that where evil gathers, Qi is weak, so it follows that vital Qi is weak where disease arises. Hence the folk belief that nourishing Yang is important in autumn and winter. The cold weather in autumn and winter makes the cervical spine and lower back more susceptible to cold, a phenomenon traditional Chinese medicine calls "cold stagnation and Qi stagnation, and pain results from this blockage." Generally speaking, spinal diseases are more common in autumn and winter. Furthermore, autumn is also a peak season for other orthopedic conditions, especially recurring ones in chronic patients.

How to Prevent Spinal Diseases?

Therefore, to effectively prevent and treat spinal diseases, it's crucial to take advantage of the golden autumn and winter months, before the weather turns completely cold, to prevent and nourish yang.

► Keep warm due to the large temperature difference between day and night. During autumn and winter, it's recommended to use air conditioning less frequently and remember to add layers of clothing in the morning and evening.

► Develop healthy lifestyle habits. Eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly, avoid smoking, alcohol, and stimulating foods, and eat more foods that protect against cervical spondylosis, such as salmon, bell peppers, soy products, bananas, and cheese.

► Expel damp and cold air from the summer. In today's fast-paced world, we should seize the most effective opportunity and use simple yet proven methods to quickly and effectively expel damp and cold from the body, such as moxibustion and thermal therapy.
