Sun ankle 6 ~ 10 points, except cold and less cramps.
"Cold starts from the feet", and people who are prone to catch cold on their hands and feet are mostly yang deficiency. At 6~ 10 in a day, the infrared ray in the sun is strong, the ultraviolet ray is weak, and the indoor temperature gradually rises, which is mild and suitable for drying feet. After a night's rest, the elderly have poor blood circulation, and heat is not easy to reach their feet, which is easy to cause toe swelling and increase the chance of frostbite. After getting up, when the weather is clear, exposing your ankles properly and basking in the sun can not only promote blood circulation and make your ankles move freely, but also make the sun shine directly on the acupoints of your feet, promote your metabolic function and enhance the vitality of your internal organs.
When drying your legs, dry them for at least half an hour at a time. When sunbathing, you can massage Zusanli point on your calf.
Sunbathing at the top of the head 10 ~ 16 can supplement yang and promote hair growth.
The sun is strongest in early spring, especially 12 ~ 16, with strong ultraviolet rays. Being in the sun for a long time will do harm to the skin, but the top of the head is different. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the head is the first of all yang", which is the place where all gather. The essence of the five internal organs and the qi of clearing yang in the six internal organs are all gathered in your head, which is suitable for sunbathing at noon.
After lunch, the elderly can take a walk outside for a quarter of an hour and take off their hats for 30 minutes, so that the sunshine can warm Baihui point on the top of their heads, which will help to unblock the pulse and replenish yang. Promote the development of the brain and the growth of the skull, and it is also conducive to the growth of hair.

The best storage time is 16 ~ 17 after the back is dried.
This time period is afternoon, the sun is setting, and the temperature is warmer, but the alpha beam in the ultraviolet rays of the sun is stronger, which is the best time to store vitamin D. More sun exposure helps the intestines absorb calcium and phosphorus. The back of the human body is yang, and many meridians and acupoints are on the back. Sunbathing the back at night is helpful to regulate the qi and blood of zang-fu organs and warm meridians.
When drying, pay attention to let the sun shine directly on your back, that is, turn your back on the sun. You can rub your hands on the acupoints of the kidney meridian on your back (the position is flat with the navel, and the spine 1.5 inch), which has the effect of warming kidney and strengthening yang. If it is convenient, lift your clothes and let the sun shine on these two acupoints, which can replenish kidney qi. Or rub the parts with your hands when you are in the sun.
Sun palms for 24 hours to help sleep.
People rarely get sunburned on their palms, so special care will have a good health care effect. The most important point in the palm of your hand is Laogong (natural fist-clenching, the tip of the middle finger). Pressing this point has the effect of clearing away the heart and calming the nerves.
The way to dry your palm is simple. Spread your hands out in the sun and face the sun, or raise your hands and face the sun. Regular palm drying can relieve fatigue and promote sleep.
Note: No matter where you bask in the sun in spring, it is best to be direct (except for your eyes), so take off your hat and gloves outdoors and try to expose your skin. When sunbathing, you can wear a little thinner and take off the down jacket (the thickest coat) outside, so as not to cover your body.
