Spring: According to Chinese medicine, the day before long summer in beginning of spring is March, and the third month of spring is the season of hair growth. The weather turns from cold to warm, the east wind relieves the chill, spring rises, and all kinds of creatures in nature germinate and develop, abandoning the old and welcoming the new.
People should go to bed early and get up early, take a walk in the yard, exercise properly, and pay attention to warm exercise to adapt to the spring air. And let the body and mind feel comfortable and lively, and let the body adapt to the spring air. In life, we should pay attention to being happy, avoid being angry, and have the idea of not killing or taking away, rewarding without punishment, so as to maintain the normal growth and regulation of liver qi. If this natural law is violated, liver qi will be damaged, and cold diseases will easily occur in summer, making it difficult for the human body to adapt to the "long" qi in summer.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the effect of health preservation is not limited to the current season, but also should lay a good foundation for the next season. In other words, if you can't keep in good health in this season, it will cause unhealthy state in the next season, and many diseases will easily occur. If we can pay attention to the "qi of hair growth" in spring, we won't get sick or less this season, and we won't get a cold in summer. If you don't pay attention to the "qi of hair growth", you will not only be near at that time, but also be left behind. Neijing pointed out: "If you go against the spring qi, you will have less yang qi and liver qi will not be born." The liver belongs to the main wind of wood, which belongs to the east of nature and is prosperous in spring. Therefore, if you don't keep in good health in spring and don't pay attention to nursed back to health, it's easy to hurt your liver, but you can't be angry with your liver injury. There is not enough fire in summer, and cold water will insult you, so you are prone to catch a cold.
Spring returns to the earth, everything recovers, and the climate gets warmer in March, which is the main symbol of spring. However, spring is also a season of changeable climate, especially in early spring, when the climate changes even more, cold currents often attack and the temperature drops suddenly. In daily life, people often say that "spring covers and autumn freezes". The so-called "spring cover" means that you should not take off your cotton-padded clothes too early in spring, but take them off later and reduce them one by one. This is scientific from the weather and climate characteristics in spring and the adaptability of human body to the external environment.
Due to the frequent climate changes in spring, hot and cold, windy and dusty, less spring rain, anger and other emotions are easy to stimulate and hurt the liver, and some patients with coronary heart disease are easy to deteriorate. In addition, due to the changes from winter to spring, people's ability to resist diseases and adapt to the climate is weak, and there are more epidemic diseases. If they are not careful, they will get sick. Especially for the elderly, the infirm and children, they are prone to catch a cold in spring, which will often lead to hepatitis if they are not properly treated and protected. In addition, infectious diseases such as measles, scarlet fever, mumps and epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis are extremely contagious.
Motherland medicine also believes that in spring, people with strong liver qi and weak temper should eat less sour food and more sweet food. Because sour taste belongs to the liver and sweet taste belongs to the spleen, we should pay attention to aftercare.
