Late spring cold refers to the phenomenon that the temperature rises rapidly in early spring, but suddenly there is continuous low temperature weather in late spring. Chinese medicine believes that this kind of climate with large temperature difference between day and night, which is warm and cold at first sight, is easy to lead to various exogenous diseases.
To prevent exogenous diseases, we should not only keep warm and cold, but also add garlic, onion, celery, ginger and onion to our diet. Chinese medicine believes that these "washed" foods are pungent and warm, and have the functions of dispelling cold and resisting exogenous diseases.
