Where is the "Spring Cover"?

Wrist, waist, navel, calf and other parts.

The heart controls the blood of the whole body, just as the whole body transports qi and blood to warm the whole body. There is an acupoint on the wrist that controls the vitality of various organs. It must be covered in spring to avoid catching cold. You can also press the Shenmen point on your wrist repeatedly with your thumb every day to calm your nerves. The waist is also an important part to cover in spring. The kidney governs the yang of the human body, and the kidney is at the waist. When the kidney is deficient, the waist is sour and afraid of cold. You can warm your hands at ordinary times and then massage your waist repeatedly, which can protect your kidneys. The navel is called Shenque point in Chinese medicine, which is in charge of the spleen and stomach, especially those who often have diarrhea and are afraid of cold in their stomachs. Before going to bed every night, they are on an empty stomach and rub their hands clockwise in their abdomen until they feel warm. This can play a role in strengthening the spleen and stomach. There are many acupoints on the leg, which control the liver. Many elderly people often suffer from migraine or eye pain. At this time, pay more attention to keep your legs warm, and use a towel for hot compress or massage.

Generally, the shortest period after beginning of spring is 10 days-15 days. This is because although beginning of spring represents the arrival of spring, the low temperature in winter will not rise immediately, and it will take at least 10-15 days. During this period, the temperature changed greatly. If you take off your cotton-padded clothes too early, your head, lower limbs, hands and throat will easily catch cold when the temperature changes, which will lead to diseases such as colds, tracheitis and arthritis.
