In the theory of five elements of traditional Chinese medicine, the five internal organs of the human body correspond to the four seasons, spring belongs to the liver and the five elements belong to the wood. The liver has the characteristics of calming, ascending and qi. Spring is the season when everything recovers and the yang gradually appears. The yang echoes the liver, and the spring is connected with the liver. Therefore, nourishing the liver in spring is a seasonal regimen.
Wood flourishes in spring, and liver belongs to wood, which is easy to make liver flourishes in spring. If the liver qi is excessive, dizziness, tinnitus, dizziness, irritability and other discomfort will occur. At the same time, some patients with chronic liver disease are easy to aggravate symptoms in spring, so we should pay attention to nourishing and protecting the liver in spring.
