Therefore, it is necessary to take this opportunity to focus on nourishing the yin and yang of the liver in spring and treat liver diseases, which can play a multiplier role.

Wind passes through the liver. The atmosphere in nature has the greatest relationship with the liver. Wind is the main air of spring, so-called spring main wind. When the wind hurts people, it's called the common cold. Cold belongs to yang evil, which is most likely to damage people's liver, especially consume people's liver yin, and make us suffer from liver yin deficiency, such as dizziness, dry eyes, dull eyes, burning pain in ribs, peristalsis of limbs, red tongue and rapid pulse. A cold may even disturb liver yang, leading to liver wind and even stroke. This situation is called external wind causing internal wind, so the most important thing in spring health preservation is to nourish the liver and calm down the wind.

Nourish yang again in spring.

Don't miss the good opportunity to raise yang in spring.

(A) the fire of life-Yang Qi

Human yang has three functions:

1. Biochemical action

The human body depends on yang to biochemical qi and blood, essence and body fluid.

2. Xuanhua function

The main subtleties of human qi, blood and body fluids are transported by yang.

3. External roles

Yang Qi has defensive and defensive functions.

In other words, Yang is the power of the five internal organs and the fire of life. Yang has a function that people can't live without all the time. Without yang, yin essence cannot be produced and life will stop, so we must pay attention to yang. People with yang deficiency, in particular, should seize the opportunity of nourishing yang in spring.

Life activity is the movement of Yin and Yang, specifically the interaction between Yang Qi and Yin essence (including essence, blood and body fluid). Yang Qi and Yin essence are very important, and they constantly maintain the dynamic balance of Yin and Yang.

Nourishing yang in spring is to coordinate our balance of yin and yang with the help of nature's yang in spring.

Yang deficiency is the weakness of yang in human body. When the yang is weak, the function of the human body will be weakened and the heat will be insufficient. People will be afraid of cold, cold hands and feet, fatigue and weakness, and even have long urine, thin stool, weak pulse, pale tongue and white fur. At this time, it is necessary to replenish the yang.

(3) Spring is a good time to raise yang.

In a year, spring is a good time to raise yang, the so-called "spring and summer to raise yang." Spring and summer are the periods when the yang grows and the yin disappears, and autumn and winter are the periods when the yin grows and the yang disappears. According to the law of gasification of yin and yang in nature, yang should be raised in spring and summer to make up for the deficiency of yang.

First, face the east at sunrise, take a deep breath, stretch your arms, and let the yang enter the human body from the nose and mouth, the skin and muscles (pores) of the human body and the Laogong point of the palm.

Second, the sun is the strongest at noon and when the sun is on. You can stand in the courtyard, take off your hat and take a deep breath, so that the essence of the sun can enter the human body from the nose and mouth and Baihui point on the top of your head.

Third, before sunset in the evening, go outdoors, take a deep breath in the face of the sunset and let the sun enter the human body.

Fourth, on a sunny day, stand in the wilderness or outdoors and take a deep breath under the blue sky and white clouds.

Fifth, people who live in tall buildings should face the sun, open the windows and take a deep breath.

In short, we should go to places with good weather and sunshine, such as the south, the east, sunny places and high places to breathe the spirit of the sun, because these places have the spirit of the sun the most.

Throughout the year, spring should be in the liver, summer should be in the heart, long summer should be in the spleen, autumn should be in the lungs, winter should be in the kidney, so spring should be based on nourishing the liver.
