Grain Rain, which means "Rain gives birth to a hundred valleys", is the last solar term in spring. Spring is the first of the four seasons and the beginning of Vientiane's renewal. Nature is full of vitality and a thriving scene. However, the weather change in spring is the most capricious. Therefore, spring is not only the season of "hundred herbs sprouting", but also the peak of "all diseases", which requires us to pay more attention to health care.

On the occasion of the arrival of Grain Rain, how to seize the small tail of spring for health preservation? In the theory of five elements of traditional Chinese medicine, liver belongs to wood, which corresponds to spring and mainly promotes hair growth, so spring health care is centered on nourishing liver.

Liver governs discouragement, tears with joy but hates it. Therefore, nourishing the liver is first to regulate emotions, be open-minded, optimistic and happy, and avoid depression. The liver plays a very important role in the regulation of our emotions, and our emotions can also affect the function of the liver in turn.

To give a simple example, girls are inevitably in a bad mood during the physiological period, and even get angry easily. It is because tiangui (that is, menstruation) is closely related to the blood storage and drainage function of the liver. At this time, when the liver is full of qi, it is inevitable to be depressed and angry, and more attention should be paid to broadening the mood. However, if you are always angry and depressed, in the long run, it will lead to stagnation of liver qi, affect the function of the liver to regulate menstruation, and may cause symptoms of irregular menstruation.

When hair grows in spring, liver qi also needs to be smoothly conditioned, so we should pay special attention to emotional maintenance and maintain a positive and optimistic attitude. At the same time, the liver-qi is calm and carefree. In spring, it is necessary to guard against getting angry, maintain the liver-qi, and do not get angry at will to damage the liver-qi.

However, blindly going to bed late will inhibit the growth of human yang, so it is mentioned in Su Wen's "Theory of Four Qi Regulating the Spirit" that in the spring month, "I will stay up late and get up early, stride in court and go slow." It means going to bed late and getting up early in spring, wearing some loose clothes to stretch your body, walking slowly in the courtyard or field, overcoming emotional fatigue and drowsiness, and helping the yang to rise. Of course, staying up late here is definitely not advocating staying up late. Moreover, in view of the ancient habit of sunrise and sunset, it is advocated to increase the activity time and reduce the sleep time in due course.
