Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a wide range of health preservation, which adjusts the physical state from all aspects, while the five elements of health preservation explain all the substances in nature and human beings with the five elements.
Five elements refer to the operation and operation of five different functional states. Five elements health preservation is to divide the most important organs of the human body into five internal organs, and then classify them into five elements. Five behaviors are classified into liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney. After the classification of five elements, it is the basic content of five elements health care to combine the functions of five internal organs with the changes of four seasons.
The fundamental principle of health care Traditional Chinese medicine health care emphasizes "correspondence between man and nature, punctuality", and advocates that according to the four-season climate change law of "hiding in spring, summer, autumn and winter", yang should be raised in spring and summer, yin should be raised in autumn and winter, daily life should be regular, sports clothes should be appropriate, and diet should be reasonable and balanced, so as to adapt to the changes of the four-season climate, morning and evening, region and other external environment.
In spring, the temperature rises gradually and everything begins to develop and grow. The human body corresponds to nature, its physiological functions become active, and its metabolism becomes increasingly vigorous, while spring corresponds to the liver. Therefore, we should pay attention to soothing the liver and maintain a comfortable, cheerful and positive attitude. In spring, we should also strengthen exercise, so that the body's blood is smooth, promote metabolism, and achieve the purpose of health care.
Hot weather in summer is the most harmful to the mind, so we must be calm in summer, and reduce the intensity of activities, avoid high temperature and reduce sweating. Chinese medicine believes that sweat is the liquid of the heart, and sweat and blood are homologous. Sweating can easily damage the yin and yang of the heart. Dry air in autumn is easy to damage lung qi, so indoor humidity should be maintained in autumn. To collect health in winter, you need to go to bed early and get up late.
