Spring is coming, just between the vernal equinox and Qingming. The weather turns from cold to warm, but it is also unstable, which is easy to cause colds. According to the concept of health care in traditional Chinese medicine, spring belongs to oriental wind wood and should be the liver of human body, so spring is a good time to recuperate the liver. Chinese medicine suggests that some medicines can be used to make soup, tonify spleen and dry dampness, strengthen body resistance and eliminate evil spirits, improve human yang, enhance immunity, prevent colds and improve fatigue.

In spring, the human body is attacked by damp evil, which is easy to cause respiratory diseases. Chinese medicine suggests that you can drink Buqi decoction to enhance immunity and prevent colds. Nourishing liver, promoting diuresis and enhancing immunity

Wu Shuo, a Chinese medicine practitioner in Taibei Tzu Chi Hospital, said that Radix Astragali, Radix Pseudostellariae, Rhizoma Dioscoreae and Poria in Buqi Yangsheng Decoction can invigorate qi and strengthen spleen. On the one hand, it can strengthen yang, increase metabolism and enhance immunity, on the other hand, it can eliminate moisture in the body. Adding angelica, medlar and jujube can nourish blood and replenish blood, and has the effect of nourishing yin and resolving phlegm of Ophiopogon japonicus. Whole-herb tea not only has the effect of benefiting qi and regulating liver, but also can enhance the disease resistance of respiratory tract, so it is a health tea suitable for drinking in spring.

Dr. Wu also mentioned that self-examination can also be used to judge whether it is troubled by dampness. The first is whether you are particularly tired when you get up, or whether you feel dizzy, heavy and listless when you get up. The fatigue caused by humidity is different from the general work fatigue. The latter can restore energy through sleep, while the former usually feels uncomfortable when waking up in the morning. If a similar situation occurs, this soup can also effectively improve symptoms.
