Vernal equinox

The vernal equinox has arrived, and the cold spring is finally coming to an end. The vernal equinox is like a person's little parting, the left side is cold and the right side is warm. Then comb more and more to the right ... the weather will get warmer and warmer.

On the vernal equinox, the sun is impartial, the day is as long as the night, and the world is in a state of yin and yang. "Spring and Autumn Story" said: "The vernal equinox, yin and yang are half-phase, so it is cold and hot day and night." By the time the vernal equinox comes, spring has already passed halfway, and it is at its peak.

Therefore, the vernal equinox is still the most dynamic solar term in a year. When I was a child, I listened to the old man and could stand the eggs on this day. It is said that it has something to do with the revolution of the earth's axis and the sun, but I think it is the endless spring air on the earth that makes this interesting thing happen.

The vernal equinox opens a new model of the fate of the earth ▼

Five movements, six qi and one * * * have six qi. Starting from the vernal equinox, 20 17 entered Ding Younian Erqi. Many friends may think that the five movements and six gods are a bit mysterious, but I think we can regard the five movements and six gods as a calculation of the annual weather changes. From the sky to people, changes in the weather will affect our health.

From the vernal equinox to Xiaoman for more than 60 days, the main qi is less yin, the fire is the king, and the ceremony is less yang. Monarch fire mainly refers to heart fire, and phase fire mainly refers to gallbladder fire. From the vernal equinox to more than 60 days, the heart is burning with fear, and the two fires are booming.

The vernal equinox is the most vigorous period of spring, which mainly produces hair. In spring, the liver qi in the human body will help the yang to grow hair. This year, the vitality of the earth's hair growth is insufficient, and liver qi is prone to poor hair growth. If two fires are raging again, it will lead to stagnation of liver qi. Some friends who have dysmenorrhea due to blood stasis or get angry easily are likely to be irritable, lose their temper, have delayed menstruation and have acne on their faces.

For people with yang deficiency and cold constitution, the vigorous internal heat between the weather at this time can be used to replenish qi and blood for the body.

The existence of solar terms is to remind us that such weather and local atmosphere are changing, and we should learn to know our bodies and take care of them in the current solar terms. During this period, it is necessary to reduce fire, remove blood stasis in the body and further enhance qi and blood.

Reduce liver fire, remove blood stasis, and massage 2 acupoints on the body ▼

If you want to get through meridians or remove blood stasis, you can choose to stimulate the body by rubbing acupuncture points to achieve the effect of self-healing. Regular massage of Taichong and Xue Hai points can help us reduce liver fire and promote blood circulation.

Xuehaijiao

Xue Hai point, as soon as you hear its name, is closely related to qi and blood. Regular massage of Xue Hai point can help us to promote blood circulation and replenish blood, dredge blood stasis in the body, and has a certain effect on dysmenorrhea and anemia.

How to find the Blood Sea Point: If you want to find the Blood Sea Point, you can sit in a chair and straighten your legs first. There will be a depression on the inside of our knee, and there is a raised muscle above the depression, and the top of the muscle is the blood sea point.

Taichong point

Taichong point can regulate the whole qi and blood of liver meridian. For example, when people are angry, the liver will be affected, and Taichong point will also react and feel a little sore. Sticking to rubbing Taichong point will help us to discharge exuberant internal heat and relieve insomnia.

How to find Taichong point: Taichong point is on the instep of our foot, and there will be a junction between two bones on the big toe and the second toe, and the depression above the junction is Taichong point.

These two acupoints can be massaged for about 10 minutes every day. I usually sit on the sofa and massage acupoints while watching TV every night when I have a rest. 10 minutes will pass quickly ~

The method of soothing the liver and regulating qi, and nourishing qi and blood at the same time ▼

I like to drink scented tea and smell the flowers in spring. In addition to drooling over the smell of incense, it is also because all products that soothe the liver and regulate qi have the smell of incense, which can open the channel of human qi. Spring is the season when flowers bloom. Even on the roadside of the most common city, there will be blooming trees. And each flower has its own personality, which can be matched with each other to help us regulate our bodies.

In spring, it is a wonderful thing to learn to match a scented tea with your own hands.

When preparing scented tea this spring, I will consider focusing on relieving internal heat and nourishing qi and blood.

According to these three points, a small prescription is drawn: choose Phnom Penh roses that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, tribute chrysanthemums that clear liver and reduce fire, and carnations that nourish liver and kidney. But if only these flowers are a little cold, then match warm red dates and longan to neutralize the coolness and protect the spleen and stomach, so they are matched with each other and the tea is mild, so it is called Qixue Ren Mei tea ~

Soak in scented tea, there will be some little attention. After putting the scented tea into the cup, pour in hot water above 90℃. Be sure to pour hot water on each flower until it is 8 minutes full. It's better to cover it with a lid and put all the flowers in the cup.

After the hot water is soaked, wait quietly for 5 minutes and let the water soak the petals bit by bit. I like watching this time. Scented tea flutters, floats and stretches in the water, and then slowly begins to ooze color. That's anthocyanin on the petals. Under the infiltration of hot water, a very gentle pale pink began to flow out.

After 5 minutes, I opened the lid, smelled the fragrance of tea rising, and my mood became gentle. Wait for the water in the cup to cool for a while, then you can drink it.

As soon as the scented tea enters, it has obvious sweetness. This sweetness is not thin, but a layered feeling is formed in the mouth by a variety of floral and fruity aromas: first, the dazzling sweetness of longan, then the graceful beauty of roses, and the coldness of Gongju ... I tried my best to distinguish the taste and took a few more sips. Unconsciously, the tea in the cup has been finished, and even the breath is fresh and sweet.

How to choose scented tea ▼

At present, most scented teas on the market require short-time drying, which has the problem of industrial sulfur fumigation. The scented tea smoked by sulfur dioxide is generally more colorful and lasts longer. However, when used for brewing, the fragrance of flowers is very weak and it is not resistant to washing. After a few drinks, it's tasteless. In addition, the residual sulfur dioxide on the flowers was also poured into the body.

If you want to choose scented tea without sulfur fumigation, you will generally pay attention to color, fragrance and taste.

1. The color of scented tea without sulfur fumigation is generally not particularly uniform, such as roses, and the color of flower buds will be significantly darker (with high anthocyanin content).

2. Smell the smell, will there be a pungent smell, which is the residual smell after sulfur dioxide is smoked out.

3. finally, take a sip of water to see if the aftertaste is sour. Natural scented tea, however, is a kind of persistent sweetness after brewing, with a long aftertaste, and there will be no such sour feeling.

Tips: If you choose scented tea without sulfur fumigation, please put it in the refrigerator in time to avoid attracting insects.

End—

I hope everyone will go out for a walk, see flowers and drink tea when they are free, and don't live up to this beautiful spring. ...
