Spring health

In spring and March, from beginning of spring to Long Summer, there are six solar terms: beginning of spring, Rain, Sting, Equinox, Qingming and Grain Rain. Spring is the first of all seasons and the beginning of Vientiane's renewal. Spring returns to the earth, and the weather turns from cold to warm, which is the season when the yang is rising. Keeping in good health in spring should follow the principle of nourishing yang and preventing wind. In spring, the yang of the human body conforms to nature and diverges upward and outward. Therefore, we should pay attention to protect the yang in the body and avoid any situation that hurts the yang. [2] It is windy in spring, and wind pathogen is the main factor of exogenous diseases in spring, which may cause various infectious diseases and epidemic diseases, such as cold, diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles, meningitis, chickenpox, tonsillitis and pneumonia, so we should guard against epidemic diseases in spring. Spring is a season of alternating winter and summer, with cold and warm air competing with each other and changeable weather. Climate instability makes people who are sensitive to climate feel a lot of discomfort. In this regard, sensitive people should pay attention to daily life.

Spring and March, this is the beginning of Chen. Heaven and earth are born, everything is glorious, lying at night and getting up early, striding towards the court and walking slowly, thus making life, living without killing, giving without taking, rewarding without punishment, which is the response of spring and the way to keep fit; Otherwise, the liver will be damaged, it will get cold in summer, and there will be few elders.

Xia San month, this is a show. Heaven and earth are in harmony, all things are flashy, they lie down at night and get up early, they are insatiable for the sun, they are not angry, and Huaying shows off their desires. If you love the outside, this summer should be the way to grow up. On the contrary, it is sad, autumn is malaria, few people get it, and winter solstice is very sick.

Autumn and March, this is called tolerance. The weather is urgent, the atmosphere is clear, you lie down early and get up early, having fun with chickens, so that you can be calm, slow down the autumn punishment, converge, calm the autumn air and clear your lungs. This autumn atmosphere should be the way to raise and harvest; On the contrary, it will hurt the lungs, have diarrhea in winter, and few people serve Tibet.

In winter and March, this is a closed Tibet. Water and ice lie on the ground, don't disturb the sun, lie early and get up late, and wait for the sun, so if you have selfishness, if you have it, it will be warm when you drive away the cold, and it will not leak skin, which will make you angry. This winter air should be the way to raise Tibet; In turn, it hurts the kidney, and it is flaccid and soft in spring, and there are fewer people born.

Mental health protection

Spring belongs to wood, corresponding to liver. The liver governs discouragement, and is happy for the gas in the heart and hatred. Therefore, in spring health care, we should not only avoid hostility, but also avoid depression, be open-minded, optimistic and happy, and "live without killing, take without taking, reward without punishment" for all natural things (On Four Sexuality), while protecting the ecological environment, cultivate good feelings and noble character of loving nature. Therefore, in spring, "no logging, no nesting, no killing" (Huai Nan Zi Shi Ze Xun) was regarded as one of the important contents of administrative orders by ancient emperors. However, health experts of all ages agreed that in the spring with beautiful spring, sunny weather and flowers, we should go for an outing, climb mountains and enjoy flowers, play in streams, sing and dance, cultivate our temperament, make our spiritual feelings adapt to the nature in spring and be full of vitality, so as to make the spring sunshine grow.

Life and recuperation

When spring returns to the earth, the human body's yang tends to be outside, the skin gradually stretches, the blood supply on the muscle surface increases, and the limbs are sleepy. Therefore, there is a saying that "I wake up easily in this spring morning, and birds are singing everywhere", which often makes people feel sleepy. However, staying up late is not conducive to the growth of yang. Therefore, in daily life, it is required to lie in bed late and get up early, without wearing a hat, unbuckle your belt, stretch your body, walk slowly in the courtyard or field, and overcome emotional fatigue and drowsiness to help the yang rise.

In spring, the climate changes greatly, and it is easy to get warm and cold at first. In addition, the human body becomes loose and its resistance to cold pathogens is weakened. Therefore, it is not appropriate to go to cotton-padded clothes in spring. Especially for the elderly and infirm, it is especially prudent to reduce winter clothes, and it cannot be greatly reduced. To this end, Qianjin advocates that spring clothes should be "thick under and thin on", which not only raises yang but also receives yin. "Ancient Heng Yan" also said: "Spring is not frozen, the lower body is too warm, and the upper body is slightly reduced, then the yang is full." All of the above are based on experience, which is enough for spring health care people to refer to.

Exercise rehabilitation

In the cold winter, the metabolism of the human body, storing essence more than transforming qi, and the yang of all organs have declined to varying degrees, so it is necessary to strengthen exercise after entering the spring. Go to places with fresh air, such as parks, squares, Woods, rivers and hillsides. Play ball, run, do boxing, do any form of exercise, take what you love and do as many activities as possible, so that the spring spirit can rise in an orderly way and the yang spirit can grow in an orderly way, which meets the requirements of "nourishing the yang in spring and summer". Old people with mobility difficulties can get along with the wind. When the spring is bright, they can look out from the railing in the empty space of the garden pavilion and make them angry. But don't sit still, lest you feel depressed. This is because you relax your hair.
