A really good Chinese doctor knows the Book of Changes very well. Soak feet for health in four seasons. It is not that Artemisia argyi safflower is soaked all year round, but that the medicinal materials used in spring, summer, autumn and winter are different. Principles of keeping in good health in four seasons: consolidating the foundation in spring, eliminating dampness and sterilizing in summer, moistening the lungs and beautifying the face in autumn and warming the abdomen in winter.

First, follow the laws of heaven and earth.

First of all, people's own activities should abide by the laws of nature.

Huangdi Neijing puts forward a holistic view. Its contents are as follows: first, it emphasizes that the human body is an organic whole; Secondly, the close relationship between man and nature is discussed. Man is one of the creatures in nature, so the relationship between man and the natural world is extremely close. Nature keeps moving and changing according to its own laws, and it goes on and on. Living in this natural condition for a long time, human beings have formed corresponding changes in the ups and downs of qi and blood and yin and yang in the body. This is an interdependent relationship. Human activities should follow the laws of nature, so that people themselves will be blessed by heaven and earth and live a long and healthy life; If you violate the way of heaven and earth, you will get sick.

Then, people should abide by the laws of heaven and earth in their diet and daily life.

When clothes are thick in summer, sweat comes out; Cold stays between meat parts, and foaming is pain. When it's cold, it's closed, and the air and humidity are not good. Water flows down the bladder meridian for drowning and qi. -"Lingshu"

Second, nourishing yang in spring and summer, nourishing yin in autumn and winter

Huangdi Neijing first proposed that Yin and Yang at four seasons are the foundation of all things. "Nourish yang in spring and summer, nourish yin in autumn and winter" is based on the basic principle of four seasons' health preservation, that is, nourish vitality in spring and summer, and maintain vitality (Yang Qi) to adapt to the law of the gradual rise and prosperity of Yang Qi in nature, and lay the foundation for the hidden Yang Qi and the growing Yin Qi, and it is not appropriate to vent too much or the internal cold is too strong to hurt Yang Qi; In autumn and winter, we should keep the collection and storage of Yin Qi, so as to adapt to the law of gradual generation and prosperity in nature and lay a foundation for the growth in the coming year, and we should not spend any time on it.

However, there are also differences. If the human body is strong in yin and yang, it should be treated differently. "yang deficiency" means winter disease and summer supplement; "Yin deficiency" is summer disease and winter tonic.

Third and fourth adjustments

Only by adapting to the law of four seasons' growth and collection can we enhance the adaptability of the five internal organs and achieve the unity of the internal and external environment. If this law is violated, it will hurt the qi of the five internal organs and weaken the ability of the human body to adapt to the natural environment. As for how to nurse? Besides daily life, we should pay special attention to the adjustment of spiritual will. In addition, the purpose of keeping in good health according to the law of the growth and decline of yin and yang in nature is also to supplement the true qi of the human body.

Fundamentally speaking, the essence of human diseases is the imbalance between Yin and Yang, which is the evil result of the damage to the harmony between Yin and Yang. If the movement of Yin and Yang is moderate, orderly, timely and harmonious, then the opposition of Yin and Yang is unified; If the movement of Yin and Yang is out of order, out of time, out of order and dislocation, it will lose harmony and the Yin and Yang will be out of balance.
