In addition to liver injury in spring, what symptoms and diseases will appear?
In the spring of March, this is called the life of Chen, the life of heaven and earth, the glory of all things, lying at night and getting up early ... this spring should be the way of fitness. On the contrary, it hurts the liver. -A Brief Discussion on Huangdi's Internal Classic and Four Tones.
Spring is the season when everything grows luxuriantly. Our health care should conform to the way of nature, stay up late and get up early, and keep a happy mood. This is the way to adapt to the spirit of keeping fit in spring. It is easy to damage the liver if it violates the qi of spring hair growth.
Why is spring easy to damage the liver? Because in the five elements, spring belongs to wood, and liver belongs to wood, so spring qi passes through liver qi. In spring, the yang generates hair, and the liver qi and liver fire rise with the spring qi, and the liver yang is vigorous, which is easy to induce dizziness, hepatitis and other diseases; Excessive liver qi can also lead to irritability, anger and anger.
Then, in addition to easy damage to the liver in spring, what symptoms and diseases will appear? What aspects does spring health care start from? You have mastered the following six key points of spring health care, and you will get sick after one year!
Keep in good health in spring, nourish the liver first.
Because the liver is easy to be damaged in spring, it can neither increase the liver qi too much nor stagnate the liver qi, so the liver should be maintained first in spring health preservation. You can strengthen exercise more, go for spring outing more and keep your mood comfortable; You can eat more foods that warm and tonify the yang, such as onions, garlic and leeks, and eat more sesame seeds, almonds, medlar, ganoderma lucidum and daylily.
Combing your hair in spring is a good way to nourish your liver. Spring is the growing season of Yang Can, and combing your hair can increase the yang. Because the head is the meeting of all yang, it has the functions of promoting qi stagnation, dredging qi and blood, combing the hair to reach yang, practicing essence inside, stimulating vitality, guiding meridians outside and dredging qi and blood. It was pointed out in the Sui Dynasty that combing hair has the functions of dredging blood circulation, dispelling wind and dampness, and making hair not white.
Soaking feet before going to bed in spring can not only help us fall asleep, but also dispel the cold accumulated in the body in winter, help expel toxins from the body, soak feet to dispel cold, dredge meridians and promote the circulation of qi and blood, thus helping to nourish the yang generated by the human body, whether it is liver or yang.
Keep in good health in spring and beware of epidemics.
Wind is the main gas in spring, and it is windy in spring. Huangdi Neijing recorded the saying that "wind is the root of all diseases". Wind evil is the main factor of exogenous diseases in spring. At the same time, when it is cold and warm in spring, bacteria and viruses will multiply and grow in large numbers, which can cause various infectious and epidemic diseases, such as colds, diphtheria, influenza, pneumonia, meningitis, hepatitis, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to guard against epidemic diseases in spring.
Keep in good health in spring and pay attention to pollen allergy.
There is wind in spring, flowers are in full bloom and pollen is flying with the wind. This was originally a beautiful scene. But for students who are allergic to pollen and allergic asthma patients, more attention should be paid to prevention.
During the period with the highest pollen concentration (10 am to 4 pm), keep the windows closed, avoid outdoor activities and avoid contact with allergens. Exercise more and strengthen your resistance. You can take traditional Chinese medicine for nursing and prevention.
A coup to prevent "spring sleep" in spring
In addition to the strong wind, there is another feature in spring that the air is humid. Especially in the south, it is often rainy and rainy. In this season, the humidity is very high, and it is very humid everywhere. If the yang of the human body is insufficient, it will be easily attacked by dampness and trapped in the head and limbs. At the same time, the spleen is dysfunctional due to dampness, which leads to drowsiness, fatigue and lethargy, which is called "spring sleep" in Chinese medicine.
For those who have been infected with "spring sleep", you can do more exercises and head massage to relieve symptoms; Drink more water and eat more foods rich in vitamins such as carrots, cabbages and oranges.
It is recommended to stir-fry lentil lean broth with coix seed, which has the effects of strengthening spleen and promoting diuresis and relieving spleen deficiency and dampness. 20 grams of kapok, 2 grams of frangipani, 2 grams of Sophora japonica, 30 grams of coix seed, 30 grams of lentils, a proper amount of dried tangerine peel, 400 grams of lean pork and 2 slices of ginger.
