Spring regimen:
Spring refers to the period from beginning of spring to long summer, including beginning of spring, rain, sting, vernal equinox, Qingming and Grain Rain. Spring is the first of the four seasons and the beginning of Vientiane's renewal. As Huangdi's Neijing said: March in spring is called Chen, heaven and earth are born, and everything is glorious.
It means that when spring returns to the earth, the ice and snow have melted, the yang in nature begins to rise, everything recovers, and everything in the world is thriving, and people correspond to the earth. At this time, the yang in the human body also conforms to nature and diverges outward.
Therefore, keeping in good health in spring must master the characteristics of qi rising and relaxing in spring, and pay attention to protecting the yang in the body, so as to make it constantly abundant and gradually vigorous. Any situation that damages the yang spirit and hinders it should be avoided. This principle of health preservation should run through diet, exercise, daily life, disease prevention, spirit and other aspects.
