Rain

"Twenty-four solar terms" records that "in the first month, water is born every day. Spring belongs to wood, and the living must have water, so beginning of spring succeeded in the rain. If the east wind melts, it will disperse into rain. " Probably the weather is getting warmer, it snows in winter and it rains in Huasong, so the rainfall has increased greatly.

Chinese medicine says: when it rains, the wood is flourishing and the rustic is still weak. The liver is stronger than the wood when the wood is flourishing. It shows that the spleen and stomach will become qi deficiency because the liver wood is too sparse. Too much stagnation of liver qi will lead to qi stagnation in the spleen and stomach.

Both of them will lead to the occurrence of liver and spleen, so moxibustion should pay special attention to protecting the qi of spleen and stomach in rainy season, so that liver qi will not go against the stomach. Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are the "acquired foundation" and the "source of qi and blood biochemistry".

In spring, people's body is prone to hyperactivity of liver qi, so the principle of moxibustion is to soothe the liver and regulate qi, and prevent stomach pain, abdominal distension, diarrhea, constipation and other diseases.
