Shi Mao, sunrise, also known as the beginning of the day, dawn, sunrise, etc. Refers to the time when the sun just appeared and Ran Ran first rose (5: 00 to 7: 00).

Shi Mao-drink water on an empty stomach and excrete toxins;

Shi Mao is on duty for the large intestine. It's 5: 00 to 7: 00 in the morning. 12 hour health preservation has a key point, that is, drink a glass of empty stomach water after getting up in Mao hours. People with constipation can help you reduce constipation by doing so. Because at this time, the essence of the large intestine begins to flourish. Once the large intestine is encouraged, with the help of your water, the stool will come down, which can help you detoxify.

You know, the poison in the stool accounts for 50% of all the poison in the human body. Shi Mao's qi and blood flow in the meridians of the large intestine, and Shi Mao's heaven and earth represent the opening of Tianmen and February. Everything comes out of the ground because of the growth of yang, which is the best time to defecate. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the lung and the large intestine are in the exterior and interior", when the qi in the lung is abundant in yin, the stool can be normal to the hair.
