Warming the body methods to stay healthy in winter

It’s the middle of winter in the Northern Hemisphere, many people tend to feel colder. Did you know that cold sensitivity can trigger serious illnesses? Chinese medicine, brought to Japan centuries ago, suggests that raising body temperature can improve a multitude of illnesses. This idea has taken root in Japan, particularly due to the lower body temperatures commonly found among Japanese people.

Recently, there’s been a focus on warming the womb among women. This is based on the belief that the female reproductive organ controls the body’s heat system and addresses women’s health issues.

The well-known concept in Japan could be universally applicable due to its positive health results. Therefore, I want to share these benefits and practical methods to help you on your health journey.

Health benefits

If you often catch colds or the flu in winter, it can indicate that your body temperature is too low for optimal immune system function. A healthy body temperature can help fight illnesses. A warm body improves blood circulation, aiding gut health, and alleviating back and shoulder pain.

If you have a menstrual irregularity or face infertility issues, check if your stomach feels cold. If yes, this could be a sign of a cold uterus. Hear your body’s inner voice and warm stomach. It means taking action to get away from monthly misery and prepare a safe environment for the baby.

Practical methods

There are various internal and external methods to improve cold sensitivity, focusing on enhancing blood flow.

Food warming the body

Food significantly affects blood flow. It’s important to recognize which foods warm or cool your body. Having ginger, root vegetables, and dark-colored foods like brown rice, black beans, hijiki, and black sesame can be beneficial.

Regular bath and exercise

Taking regular baths can effectively warm your body. Incorporating exercises, especially those that strengthen the lower body, can improve blood circulation.

Warm items

Traditional items like hot water bottles and knitted belly warmers are popular among Japanese people for staying warm in winter. For those focusing on womb health, a uterus pad made from sustainable linen and mineral ores can be helpful. Unlike regular menstrual pads, these can be used daily to detoxify the body and balance hormones.

Your winter health issues may be closely related to cold sensitivity. Practicing the above methods can help. Prioritizing warming your body is key to staying healthy in winter.
