#CheckCheckMail
#星期三問題多多
#感冒分好幾型
#先檢後茶的重要性

Miss Sickness：這幾天鼻涕長流，聽人講飲薑茶可以治療感冒，真的嗎？
CheckCheckCin：薑屬性溫熱，能祛風散寒。不少人在感冒時都會飲杯薑茶，可是並非所有類型的感冒都適合。喝之前要先檢測自己的體質。常見的感冒分有風熱型、風寒型、風濕型等。生薑屬性溫熱，可紓緩初起的風寒型感冒。如非此類體質飲用，就不宜飲用薑茶了。

你是哪一類型感冒？
下次喝薑茶時，不妨做以下測試，看看自己屬於哪種感冒類型，如屬風寒型才能達到舒緩效果。

01 有無喉嚨不適？有-〉02，沒有 –〉03
02 有喉嚨痕癢？有-〉04；沒有，或有喉嚨痛-〉03
03 有無關節肌肉酸軟？有，或兼全身困重無力-〉屬風濕型感冒；沒有-〉04
04 有無流清涕？有，或有鼻塞，且有咳嗽痰色帶白-〉屬風寒型感冒；沒有，但流黃稠鼻涕-〉屬風熱型感冒

感冒類型配茶療（註：根據體質試過簡易茶療如果感冒症狀未能好轉，必須看醫生／醫師。）
風寒型（薑4-5片，煮15分鐘，可放回保溫瓶反覆沖泡飲用）
風熱型（菊花6克，桑葉9克，煮15分鐘，可放回保溫瓶反覆沖泡飲用）
風濕型（藿香9克，紫蘇葉9克，煮15分鐘，可放回保溫瓶反覆沖泡飲用）

Miss Sickness: I’ve had a runny nose for a few days and some people say ginger tea can treat colds, is it true?

CheckCheckCin: Ginger is warm in nature, and can dispel wind and cold. A lot of people will have ginger tea when they have a cold but it actually isn’t suitable for all types of colds. You have to know your body constitution before drinking it. There are three types of colds- hot-wind, cold-wind, and damp-wind. Raw ginger is warm in nature so it can help to relieve early symptoms of cold-wind colds. If this is not what you have then ginger tea isn’t suitable.

Which type of cold do you have?
Before you have any ginger tea, be sure to find out which type of cold you have.

01 Any throat discomfort? Yes -> 02, No -> 03
02 Do you have an itchy throat? Yes -> 04, No, or you do have a sore throat -> 03
03 Do you have sore muscles? Yes, or you feel like your body is very heavy -> damp-wind type of cold, No -> 04
04 Do you have clear mucus? Yes, or you have stuffed nose with clear phlegm when coughing -> cold-wind type of cold, No, but you do have thick yellow mucus -> hot-wind type of cold

Tea remedy for different types of cold (note: if you drink the tea based on your type but do not see any improvement, be sure to seek professional medical help)
Cold-wind type: 4-5 slices of ginger, cook for 15 minutes. Add into thermos to drink, can be re-brewed until flavor weakens.
Hot-wind type: 6g chrysanthemum, 9g mulberry leaves, cook for 15 minutes. Add into thermos to drink, can be re-brewed until flavor weakens.
Damp-wind type: 9g patchouli, 9g purple perilla, cook for 15 minutes. Add into thermos to drink, can be re-brewed until flavor weakens.

CheckCheckMail: Why do I get pimples before my period?
Ladies usually experience more skin issues during menstruation and that’s usually due to menstrual disorder. Ladies with qi-stagnation or blood stasis body types, or when they are experience emotional turmoil or stress, it can lead to liver qi stagnation. More qi is required to ensure blood circulation, and prolonged qi stagnation can lead to blood stasis. This not only affects when your period starts, but you may have pimples during as well, and those with blood stasis bodies may have pimples that leave tough scars. We would suggest a Hawthorn apple tea a week before menstruation to improve blood circulation.

【CheckCheckMail – 不想早生華髮！】

#星期三問題多多
#烏髮可以減齡
#遺傳有影響但後天都可努力

白髮美少女：「我才踏入三十歲已經好多白頭髮，怎麼辦？」

CheckCheckCin：不少早生華髮的人皆是因為遺傳問題，然而假如你發現自己在短時間多生白髮，或是有提早生白髮的情況，就有可能是氣血不足所致。中醫理論認為「髮為血之餘」及「腎主骨主髓，其華在髮」，氣血旺盛及腎氣充足人士的頭髮都較為濃密、烏黑、亮澤。其實不管男女、都市人後天缺乏調理，加上工作壓力大、熬夜以及用腦過度都會影響氣血和腎氣，導致頭髮早白。如果生活模式不能改，不如抽時間看看中醫調理一下身體。另外也可以泡杯魔髮茶喝～

頭髮白白茶療
材料：桑椹6克、女貞子10克、旱蓮草6克、薄荷1克
做法：以約800毫升水煮30分鐘即可，將茶連渣倒進保溫瓶，能反覆沖泡至味淡。
功效：滋陰補血，烏髮養髮。適合因壓力或產後的多白髮甚至掉頭髮。
注意：感冒未清者不宜飲用。

Don't want a head full of white hair!
I am only in my early 30s and have a lot of white hair already, what can I do?
CheckCheckCIn: A lot of people see gray hair earlier in life due to genetics, but if you find yourself growing a lot of white hairs in a short period of time or getting white hair earlier in life, it could be due to insufficient qi and blood. Chinese medicine believes hair is an extension of blood and kidney health is reflected in hair quality. People with strong qi and blood and sufficient kidney qi will usually have thicker dark shiny hair. Both men and women who are not healthy coupled with work stress, late nights and mind that is overworked can affect their qi, blood and kidney qi. This can lead to early appearance of white hair. If you cannot adjust your lifestyle, make time to see a Chinese medicine practitioner to fine tune your body. You can also try a tea remedy-
