Before and after the rain, all things begin to sprout. To maintain health, you should pay attention to regulating the spleen and stomach, go to bed early and get up early, exercise properly, regulate emotions, and prevent “late spring colds”.
What diseases should be prevented before and after the solar term and rain?
1. Cold, fever, pneumonia and other exogenous diseases
The rain during the solar period is warm and windy, and the body’s sunlight begins to be released outward. At this time, the skin pores open, and the ability to resist wind and cold is weakened. If you’re not careful, you can be vulnerable to outside winds.
2. Osteoarthritis
Patients with arthritis Very sensitive to climate change. In the rainy and solar terms, the air humidity is very high, the heat and cold are impermanent, the water invades, and the cold and wet are mixed, which can easily lead to joint swelling and aggravation of pain. Patients with osteoarthritis are prone to relapse.
3. Stomach discomfort
The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine Say “Spring cures the liver”. Chinese medicine believes that people are prone to excess liver qi in spring. If the liver wood is developed, it will inhibit the spleen and soil, adversely affect the spleen and stomach, and hinder the normal digestion and absorption of food. At the same time, as the rainfall increases, the moisture increases with it, and the cold and moist gas easily disturbs the spleen. In addition, the “food accumulation” left behind after the Spring Festival can produce symptoms such as loss of appetite, indigestion and diarrhea.
4. Myocardial infarction
In the rainy season, the temperature fluctuates Hot and cold, changeable weather, vasoconstriction and diastolic dysfunction can easily aggravate the condition of patients with coronary heart disease, heart failure and even myocardial infarction.
5. Headache
< br/>
The rainy solar term “cold spring” appears from time to time. Spring is a windy season. There are many diseases in the upper body, such as head, wind-cold dampness, qi stagnation and blood stasis. Therefore, vascular and neuropathic headaches are also prone to recurrence.
Spring health points:
1. Less acid How sweet
In the rainy season, one should pay attention to “regulating the spleen and stomach”. The spring diet should eat less sour and more sweet to nourish the spleen. You can choose leek, toon, lily, chrysanthemum, etc.
2. Reasonable living
The weather in early spring is cold and the temperature difference between day and night is large. Don’t take off your winter clothes in a hurry at this time, pay attention to keep warm and prevent cold.
3. Suitable for sports
Early spring exercise should be in line with the characteristics of yang. You can do some gentle and soothing exercises outdoors, such as tai chi, yoga, jogging, gymnastics, etc. But when exercising, you should be careful not to wear too little clothes, so as not to damage the yang.
4. Prevention of “late spring cold”
The solar term is rainy, avoid cold and humidity. At this time, the human skin is relatively loose, the resistance to cold pathogens is weakened, and it is easy to cause disease. Therefore, in spring, attention should be paid to “thickness at the bottom and thinness at the top”, focusing on “covering” the back, abdomen and soles to reduce the occurrence of diseases.
5. Moxibustion to nourish the liver
Spring is the beginning of eliminating yang and growing yin, while yang should be maintained. At this time, the liver meridian is in season, so spring is mainly to nourish the liver. Moxibustion in spring can dredge liver qi and prevent excess liver qi from invading the spleen and stomach.
Emotion regulation is also important in spring
Spring Come on, the peach blossoms are in full bloom. I was supposed to be humming a little tune to feel everything recover, but I suddenly felt depressed and depressed. This is liver depression. In spring, the five elements are wood, corresponding to the liver. When spring comes, all things revive, vitality germinates, and our liver qi gradually rises. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the liver is like bars and tentacles, and it hates depression. The liver unclogs the qi throughout the body, making us feel full of spring and comfortable. However, when the pressure is too great and the liver qi cannot be relieved, the qi will be blocked and people will be unhappy. This is liver qi stagnation. Most of the causes of insomnia, constipation, acne, silence, and even tantrums in the human body are related to the liver.
Treatment of Liver Qi stagnation: Don’t get angry. Remind yourself when you encounter something, think calmly and don’t get so angry. Otherwise, hurting the qi will not solve the problem, and it will damage the liver. Reasonably vent emotions and symptoms of liver stagnation. Reasonable catharsis, so that the liver qi rises, and the qi movement is smooth.
Exercise not only strengthens your body, it also improves your bad mood and makes you happy. Traditional sports advocate that there is stillness in movement, movement in stillness, and the combination of movement and stillness, in order to achieve the comfort of form and spirit, relaxation, peace and nature, peace of mind, and the mystery of yin and yang.
Stretching, when we are tired, the movement of Qi and blood in our body will slow down. If we stretch and breathe deeply at this time, we can activate the upper body muscles and speed up the blood flow, which actually stimulates the function of the liver, which stretches the liver during the stretch.
Conclusion: learn spring health, nourish the spleen and stomach, nourish the liver and protect the liver, let health be ours The only magic weapon for eternal health.
