Diagnosis\uff1a<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The main problem of the patient is dizziness cum vomit for the past two weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Due to the weakening and cold traits of body category, she could easily caught by flu when she goes for beaching. The symptoms of flu like neck stiff and neck ache, feverish body will appear.<\/span><\/p>\n

At a second stage, the cold and wind immerse into the body and causing our \u201cqi\u201d disorder in the stomach and gallbladder.

She felt dizziness once ever since acupuncture. Besides, she observes new symptoms such as sore throat and not fluent bowel movement. Treatment has to be continued then.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some tips to pay attention in the daily routines during outdoor water activities:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1. We need to do more warming protection for the body.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

For instance: If one person is having a weaker digestive system and participates in some outdoor water activities, be remembered to do warming protection for the body. After swimming, we must remember to use towel to cover the body immediately. If we shower, we ought to ensure to wear a dry shirt and pant. The costume is preferably to cover part of the body which easily attack by the wind or dampness. For example: neck, belly button, feet etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

2. Drink warm water for building the warmness in the stomach.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

After we finish enjoying outdoor water activities, highly recommended all of us to drink a cup of warm hot water; soup mix by ginger with scallion (the end part white stem). This will help to do the first protection from the attack of cold.

3. After we enjoy water activities, our hair is wet. So we quickly get a shower and wash the hair, follow by the habit of drying the hair immediately.<\/strong>

\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. We are highly advised not to drink cold drinks or cold food.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

For most people who have a cooler stomach, their palm or feet easily get cold. They are likely to get flu such as coughing, running nose etc. That is the reason why we are prohibited from taking cold drinks or cold food after water activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

5. Maintain a good habit of bowel movement.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Many people when they go for outdoor trip, their cycle of bowel movement become disorder; hence sometimes they will miss the time and eventually causing a constipation problem. We will suggest them to do some exercise to help improve the bowel movement habit. If we have a good habit of bowel movement, body is not so heaty internally and would not get sick easily.<\/span><\/p>\n
