Five-color health
There is a saying in Huangdi Neijing that "the five internal organs are combined with five colors", which holds that the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys of human body correspond to five colors of red, yellow, white and black, that is, red and intense heart fire, green and intense liver wood, yellow and intense spleen soil, white and intense lung gold, and black belongs to kidney water. In other words, different colors have different effects on human health.

Red nourishes the heart, green nourishes the liver, yellow nourishes the spleen and stomach, white nourishes the lungs and black nourishes the kidneys. This theory of "five zang-organs combined with five colors" also deals with people's emotions, thus affecting the harmony of the five zang-organs.

In the process of planting flowers and plants, we should pay special attention to the different effects of plants of different colors on human health.

For example, red, yellow and other colors will make people emotional, cheerful and increase their appetite, thus affecting the heart and stomach, which is beneficial to patients with hypotension and gastrointestinal diseases;

Blue flowers or branches and leaves make people feel cool, peaceful and quiet, affect the liver, and have a calming effect on people with fever, hypertension and neurasthenia;

White flowers or branches and leaves can regulate people's breathing and exercise rhythm, thus affecting the lungs and brain, and are suitable for people with respiratory diseases such as emphysema and asthma.

Observe more people who pay attention to health, and you will find that they are all good at raising flowers and grass and nourishing their feelings. It is not unreasonable for the ancients to say that "those who enjoy flowers live long" and "love flowers for health and plant flowers for health".

Throughout history, many longevity people live in the natural "gardens" with beautiful scenery and delicious grass; Most of those officialdom people who have worked hard all their lives have really discovered the true meaning of life when they return to the countryside in their later years and keep company with flowers and plants.

As the saying goes, "flowers are good medicine." Being in flowers, not only the fragrance of flowers and plants can benefit the brain, limbs and viscera, but also people can enjoy flowers in the process of flower cultivation and gardening, which can produce healthy and positive associations and achieve health care effects.
