3, pay attention to keep warm: In spring, due to climate change and sunny weather, people often ignore the fickle and cold in early spring. So it's best to wear it slowly, and don't change it into short-sleeved shorts in summer. Cold pathogens can hurt the lungs and easily lead to nasal congestion, cough and cold, especially for middle-aged and elderly people.
4. Pay attention to the intensity and speed of exercise: it is not appropriate to exercise vigorously when it is warm and cold in spring, but should focus on moderate-rhythm exercise to avoid excessive exercise causing body fluid consumption and yang damage, which violates the principle of "nourishing yang in spring and summer".

Ganshu point is located 1.5 inch below the spinous process (du meridian) of the ninth thoracic vertebra, which is the reaction point of the back liver. * * * This is beneficial to the prevention and treatment of liver diseases.
