Many people are afraid of the cold, cold hands and feet, gastrointestinal disorders... but they are not satisfied. However, if they do not recuperate for a long time and become cold constitution, it is dangerous, because cold constitution is a hotbed of cancer!
Li Zhong, a well-known Chinese medicine oncologist and doctoral supervisor at Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, pointed out that clinical data statistics show that about 70% of cancer patients have a cold constitution.
After being diagnosed, especially after chemotherapy, these patients often exhibit chills and cold limbs, shortness of breath and wheezing, mental fatigue and fatigue, lack of breath and lazy speech, pale complexion, edema, and delayed pulse sinking, all of which are typical cases of yang deficiency and cold victory.
Two Bad Effects of Cold Constitution
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, cold constitution is due to the excess of yin and qi within the body, which weakens the digestion and absorption of nutrients, leading to a decrease in the body's absorption of heat, resulting in a cold constitution.
The main reasons are as follows:
First, people with a cold constitution usually have low immunity and cannot effectively block the invasion of external toxic substances. Their ability to clear toxins is also relatively poor, creating a prerequisite for tumor generation.
Secondly, people with a cold constitution generally have a slower blood flow, which is prone to the formation of a situation where blood stasis, phlegm turbidity, and qi stagnation "collude" with each other. "phlegm and blood stasis" accumulate in a certain location, and long-term exposure to the effects of toxins can easily lead to the formation of tumors.
