🌬️ Protect Your Wind Points: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Wellness 🧣
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Wind is more than a breeze—it’s a powerful force believed to carry illness into the body. That’s why TCM practitioners emphasize guarding your “wind points”—specific areas where Wind can sneak in and disrupt your health.
🌀 What Are Wind Points?
Wind points are vulnerable spots on the body where external pathogens can enter, especially Wind. The most important ones include:
• Base of the skull, where neck meets head and upper back.
These areas are often exposed and sensitive to drafts, making them prime entry points for colds, flu, headaches, and even joint pain.
🛡️ Why Protect Them?
TCM teaches that Wind is the “spearhead of a hundred diseases.” It can carry Cold, Damp, or Heat into the body, weakening your immune defenses (Wei Qi) and triggering illness. Ever caught a chill after sitting under a fan or walking out with wet hair? That’s Wind at work.
🧥 How to Stay Protected:
• Wear a scarf or hoodie to shield your neck and upper back.
• Avoid sleeping under direct airflow from fans or open windows.
• Keep your immune system strong with rest, balanced meals, and stress reduction.
✨ Small habits, big impact. Protecting your wind points is a simple way to stay grounded, warm, and well—especially as the seasons shift.
