China's traditional concept of health preservation holds that spring should be in the liver. As a person inseparable from nature, the liver is most sensitive to the climate change in spring. Therefore, keeping in good health in spring focuses on nourishing the liver.
Liver governs discouragement, desire leads to anger, sexual pleasure overflows, and evil leads to depression. Liver-qi should be changed but not accumulated. People's emotional activities such as spirit, consciousness and thinking have a great relationship with whether the liver-qi is comfortable or not. In addition, the "combination of liver and gallbladder" shows both the exterior and interior of liver and gallbladder. The gallbladder belongs to shaoyang, and shaoyang rises just in spring. Therefore, special attention should be paid to mental conditioning in spring, and we must maintain a cheerful, positive, optimistic and open-minded attitude and try to get rid of bad emotions such as boredom and depression.
There are also many windy days in spring. As soon as the spring breeze blows, our body's resistance is weak and we are prone to illness, so we must do a good job of disease prevention in spring, especially when the liver is heavily loaded. We must take care of our liver. We should pay more attention to maintaining our liver in spring.
Liver governs storing blood. The physiological activities of the human body depend entirely on the nourishment of blood. When people rest quietly, part of their blood belongs to the liver. When they are active, the liver helps the heart distribute blood around and supply energy. Therefore, in spring, we should pay attention to the combination of work and rest, don't be too tired, don't stay up late, and don't do too strenuous activities to make the liver and blood full. Patients with liver disease should pay special attention to rest to avoid increasing the burden on the liver.
The liver opens its eyes and the fluid is tears. With the arrival of spring, nature is a new green. Modern research believes that green has a good exciting effect on retinal cells in the fundus. Green not only enters the liver, but also is good for the eyes. Therefore, we should see more green plants in spring to please our eyes. At the same time, spring is also the season of "burning eyes" (acute catarrhal conjunctivitis) and itchy eyes (spring conjunctivitis). Attention should be paid to prevention and active treatment to prevent eye injuries.
Spring is a season that many of us like very much, but it is also the time when we get sick the most, and the climate is not very good, so we are prone to get sick, but we should pay more attention to the work of nourishing liver in spring, which is the best time for us to nourish liver in a year, and the effect of nourishing liver in spring is very good.
