Spring is the first season of the year, and how to keep in good health is related to the physical condition of the whole year, so it is very important to conform to nature and strengthen health care.
Spring is the season when everything grows. I didn't hide it well in winter, so I'm sick now. In spring, you should go to bed on time, get up early, relax yourself and walk slowly in the yard, so that your essence will slowly rise. Don't suppress yourself in spring, it will hurt your liver and turn cold in summer. Eat more whole grains and beans in spring, which are seeds and the main source of growth. For example, five bean porridge; Eat spring cakes, all kinds of vegetables are rolled in the cakes, and fresh vegetables have sprouted. But you must eat what is in season, not what is out of season.
In spring, everything is revived and full of vitality. The same is true of the human body, which germinates in spring. At this time, people with old diseases are particularly prone to relapse, which is human instinct. I hope to use the vitality of spring to attack the lesions in the body and drive the disease out of the body. If we keep this secret, reasonable aftercare will cure the old disease.
The attribute of spring is wood, which is the liver meridian of human body. If it is not fully germinated, the heart will not be prosperous in summer, and there will be insufficient growth. Hair growth of human body mainly depends on liver qi. Liver qi is particularly strong in spring. If it is too prosperous, it will destroy the functions of other organs in the body. Liver-qi can't be suppressed, and it should be converted and excreted reasonably. This is called soothing the liver and regulating qi.
Liver qi is excreted by the gallbladder meridian, and the liver and gallbladder meridians are both exterior and interior. Therefore, in spring, people often have bitter mouth, shoulder pain, migraine, breast and rib pain, and hip and thigh pain. These are all manifestations of obstruction of gallbladder channels and unfavorable excretion. Bitter mouth can eat Xiaochaihu pills or granules; Jiawei Xiaoyao Pill can be taken for shoulder pain, migraine, breast pain and rib pain. Gan Ping Shuluo Pill can be used for pain on the outside of buttocks and thighs. Usually tap the gallbladder meridian along the trousers seam outside the thigh every day, which is symmetrical from top to bottom, promoting the smoothness and functionality of the gallbladder meridian and playing a role in losing weight.
In spring, the human body's yang radiates outward, and the skin is slack, and the wind and cold are particularly easy to invade. At this time, some people are prone to cough and asthma. There is cold outside and liver fire inside, which is the "wood fire" of lung cough. At this time, you should vent your anger. Beat the gallbladder meridian and triple energizer meridian to clear liver qi; Scraping pericardial meridians to promote blood circulation; Scraping the back to drive away the cold.
In spring, some people often have leg cramps, diarrhea, drowsiness and other symptoms, which are the symptoms of "liver hyperactivity and spleen deficiency". You can take Xiaoyao Pill, Shen Ling Baizhu Pill and Jujube glutinous rice porridge to invigorate the spleen and nourish the blood, and the spleen and liver are at peace.
Regular massage of Taichong point in the seam between the big toe and the second toe can excrete liver fire.
People who often take part in exercise in spring have strong disease resistance, quick thinking, no fatigue and high efficiency. A year's plan starts with spring. People can choose outdoor activities according to their age and physical condition, such as Tai Ji Chuan, jogging, flying kites and spring outing.
To prevent "getting angry" in spring, we must first have a regular life, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and rest on time. Secondly, eat more fruits and vegetables and avoid spicy food. Drink plenty of water or heat-clearing substances "and excrete them from urine and sweat. Spring is the frequent season of "fire disease" in various organs of the body. No matter what kind of "fire" appears in the internal organs, it has an inseparable causal relationship with the psychological state. Therefore, maintaining a positive and optimistic psychological attitude is an important "fire extinguishing agent" for people to resist diseases.
