To understand the health care of TCM, we must first understand the four seasons of TCM. If you don't know the four seasons, you can't talk about TCM health preservation, because people live in the air, the ground is cloudy and the sky is rainy. According to the natural laws of the four seasons, you should complete the whole process of getting old and strong, which is a unique aspect of Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine believes that people are natural and follow the four seasons. If you keep healthy according to the laws of the four seasons, the temperature in spring, the heat in summer, the coolness in autumn and the coldness in winter, you can ensure to reduce the occurrence of diseases. There is a saying in Huangdi Neijing that "virtual evil is a thief's wind", which should be avoided sometimes. Virtual evil thief wind is called virtual evil thief wind when there is no normal weather in the season, which is called virtual evil thief wind in Chinese medicine. All these things can cause human diseases. Now people are afraid that the air conditioner is not turned on much in summer and the heating is not hot in winter, which is actually against the laws of nature. There used to be a saying that if winter is not cold and summer is not hot, you will get sick sooner or later. Because qi and blood are taboo in winter, if it is too hot at this time, let qi and blood dissipate. Chinese medicine says that if you don't hide semen in winter, you will get sick in spring. If semen is not stored well in winter, it will get sick in spring. Therefore, it is suggested that the temperature in winter must be controlled at around 20 degrees. In summer, young people turn on the air conditioner in the office, at home and in the car. You can't sweat and feel uncomfortable when you sweat. When you turn on the air conditioner in summer, open some windows, because the air conditioner wind is absolutely different from the natural wind, and it is a kind of coolness. In addition, don't blow the electric fan at yourself, it's better to blow it at the wall to give it room to maneuver. Each of us is like a deciduous tree outside. What do you mean? Look, it's winter, and all the leaves have fallen. Why do leaves fall? Because in winter, the nutrients originally distributed on the four branches begin to gather from the roots, so its branches and leaves are relatively undernourished, so its leaves will fall. By next spring, all the nutrients will go from the roots to the four branches of spring. So you can see that tree sprouting in spring. Why does it germinate? Because the nutrients inside have gone out and the conditions outside are not ready, a bud will appear. In summer, qi and blood go outside, and nutrition goes outside, so the roots below have no nutrition. With the autumn wind, leaves begin to fall, and nutrients will begin to be collected from the outside. This is a deciduous tree in nature, and we humans. In spring, our qi and blood go outward from our internal organs. In summer, everything is outside. In autumn, it begins to walk in from the outside. In winter, it's full inside and relatively insufficient outside. So let's think about why it's easy to get upset in summer, not only because of bacteria and viruses, but also because of the lack of qi and blood inside. In winter, because both qi and blood go inside, the outside is in a relatively insufficient state, so you are prone to catch a cold at this time, so from the perspective of Chinese medicine, people and nature are exactly the same. I explain this truth, that is to say, you are closely related to the climate change in nature all year round.
Therefore, spring temperature, hot summer, cool autumn and cold winter constitute the natural laws of all living things in nature, such as spring birth, long summer, autumn harvest and winter storage. If you want to be old and strong in life, your four seasons are very important to you every year.
