Spring is the season when everything grows, and liver qi is in season. According to the theory of five elements in traditional Chinese medicine, liver belongs to wood, spleen belongs to soil, and soil and soil are born together, that is, hyperactivity of liver-fire will hurt spleen and affect its digestive function. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that five flavors enter the five internal organs, acid enters the liver, and sweet enters the spleen. In view of this, the spring diet should be nursed back to health, and it is advisable to choose sweet and warm products, avoid acidity, and mainly tonify the temper. Therefore, below, I recommend several spring spleen-invigorating health porridge.
