At the turn of spring and summer, people feel tired, sleepy, and dozed off. Why? Zheng Yanhua, deputy director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the Panyu Branch of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, introduced that people with weak spleen and stomach and insufficient blood qi are more likely to experience these symptoms of spring sleepiness because the yang qi in the body cannot keep up with the rising pace of yang qi outside.
How can I overcome the phenomenon of spring sleeplessness? In addition to ensuring normal night sleep and naps, it is also necessary to maintain proper exercise, dietary conditioning and environmental adjustment. When making soup and cooking, you can add cardamom, Amomum, Poria, barley, white lentils and other ingredients that strengthen the spleen and dispel dampness, so as to remove the dampness in the body and refresh the spleen and help the mind.
