April XNUMXth is the season of cherry blossoms.Director of Japan Macrobiotic Association, Kenji Okabe's new course has started!
I would like to introduce a little bit about hay fever and the intestines from the lecture on the theme of this time, "Reset yourself with the colors of spring (blue and green)."
..................................................................
In this course, we will explain the effects of colors and the five-colored foods that heal the five organs from the standpoint of the five elements of Yin and Yang in Oriental medicine.In addition, you can experience how to treat the five organs using five-colored ingredients.
Organs and seasons correspond.The season of spring is the season when the liver gets tired easily.Heart in summer, lungs and large intestine in autumn.Kidney and bladder in the cold winter.
At the turn of the season, there is a cycle called Doyo, and at the change of the Doyo season, the stomach and spleen are easily weakened.
Each organ corresponds to a color, and the liver, which controls spring, corresponds to the color blue on the Five Elements Chart.The heart system is red, and the stomach and spleen system is yellow.The lungs and large intestine are white.The renal/bladder system is black.
Many people who feel unwell in early spring have weakened liver systems.
If you have symptoms of hay fever from around the beginning of March, I think it's safe to regard it as a state in which pollen has brought out the liver's detoxification phenomenon and fatigue in the liver.
Hay fever is inflammation of the mucous membranes of the nose and eyes due to the slight stimulation of pollen.
The human body's largest immune system, the intestinal tract immunity, is the largest tissue that collects immune cells, and it has finally been found that when inflammation occurs in the intestine, the inflammatory reaction spreads throughout the body. is.
Immune hypersensitivity and hay fever are one type of hypersensitivity, but I think that people who overreact to slight stimuli have problems with their intestines.
It has finally been found that the cause of inflammation in the small intestine and large intestine is flour containing gluten.
People who get hay fever every year tend to be people who have taken a lot of flour products in the past.
It is quite difficult to give up wheat flour, but the consumption of rice has decreased year by year, and around the year before last, the consumption of flour exceeded the consumption of rice per person..
It seems that each person consumes a considerable amount of flour.
The wheat that comes in from America is called strong flour and has a lot of gluten.Bread usually uses strong flour.The gluten in the bread causes the intestinal wall to become rough, so if you refrain from using wheat products for a while, I think you'll be able to get rid of hay fever the following year..
