What are the climatic characteristics of spring health preservation?

As a part of Chinese medicine, health preservation must follow the natural changes and characteristics. Seasonal health care is the truth. Every season has similarities and differences in health care, and what to do in any season is very particular. In this article, let's talk about the climatic characteristics of spring health preservation.

1, beginning of spring: beginning of spring is on February 6th every year. At this time, the climate is getting warmer, the sun is shining, the temperature is gradually rising, everything is recovering, hibernating animals are beginning to recover, and the season full of vitality is about to begin. Beginning of spring is the first day of spring and the beginning of the transformation from cold winter to warm spring. The weather is hot and cold, the cold afterglow has not faded, and the sunshine in spring is not enough. Spring breeze still carries the chill of winter, so people should pay attention to climate change to prevent external causes caused by sudden climate change. Since the day of beginning of spring, the human body's yang began to rise, and liver yang, liver fire and liver wind also rose with the rise of yang in spring. Therefore, after beginning of spring, we should pay attention to the physiological characteristics of the liver, relieve the liver qi, and maintain emotional stability, so that the liver qi will not affect other internal organs.

2. Rain: It rains on February 19 or 20th of the solar calendar every year, that is, the "July 9th" period. The severe cold has passed in most parts of our country, the rainfall is gradually increasing, and the temperature is gradually rising. With beginning of spring as the starting point of Yang Qi's rise, when it rains, Yang Qi gradually prospers. At this time, the liver yang, liver fire and liver wind of human body will increase with the rise of Yang Qi in spring, so we should pay more attention to the release of liver qi. Nature is full of vitality, especially in the southern region, where everything is thriving. People who keep in good health should also cheer up, be full of energy, keep in mind and make a difference.

3. In a daze: In a daze, March 5 or 6 of the solar calendar every year is already "99", and the weather is getting warmer, but the climate is changeable. The qi of liver yang in human body is gradually rising, and the yin blood is relatively insufficient. Health preservation should conform to the characteristics of the rise of yang and the beginning of everything, so that people's spirit, emotions and qi and blood are as smooth and full of vitality as spring. Diet and daily life should conform to the nature of the liver, help temper and make the five internal organs calm.

Old people should pay more attention to physical maintenance. Qiu Chuji in Yuan Dynasty said in On Keeping Healthy: "In spring, the taste of food should be reduced to sweet and sour to nourish the temper. ..... The weather is cold and warm, so we can't go to cotton-padded clothes. Old people are weak and sick, and cold air is easy to hurt their minds. Clothes are easy to prepare when they are warm, and they are getting heavier and heavier. Don't run away. " This is the so-called "spring cover" as the saying goes.
