In the season of spring when flowers bloom, all things are reviving. In fact, this is also the time when viruses and bacteria are easily infected. So if you don’t take good care of your health at this time, you will be easily affected by some diseases. Therefore, health care in spring cannot be ignored. Do you know what methods of Chinese medicine health care should be used in spring? Let’s find out together.

Health care is to better ensure your own health and prevent the invasion of some diseases. However, if the method is unhealthy and scientific, it will easily bring more adverse harm. Therefore, I hope everyone can pay attention to the scientific methods of health care in spring.

Spring is full of vigor and vitality. The "Inner Canon of Medicine" says: "In the three months of spring, sleep at night and get up early, walk around the yard...this is the way to maintain health." The climate in spring is mild, so doing more outdoor activities, breathing fresh air, stretching muscles and bones, and circulating blood can enhance the nervous system's ability to adapt to and regulate the climate and improve disease resistance. It is particularly important for patients with liver disease and hypertension to take medicine on time.

Keep warm in spring and keep cold in autumn. This is the experience gained from many years of folk disease prevention practice and is in line with the physiological functions of the human body. As the temperature in spring is sometimes warm and sometimes cold, the blood vessels in the human skin dilate and the sweat pores relax. If you suddenly take off your clothes, it is very easy for "wind evil to enter the body" and cause colds, bronchitis, and lung diseases. You should add or remove clothes according to weather changes, avoid catching cold, and pay special attention to keeping your back warm. Especially for the elderly, weak-willed people, and timid people, it is better to cover themselves up to avoid being invaded by cold wind.

Spring fatigue and autumn exhaustion. The spring yang energy begins to emerge, making people feel drowsy. This is because the human body needs to dissipate heat to adapt to the warming climate, the peripheral blood vessels on the body's surface dilate, the blood flow to the skin increases, and the blood supply to the internal organs and brain decreases relatively. The body's metabolism is active, and if the nutrient supply in food is insufficient, the brain's energy conversion efficiency will decrease. In addition, the warm spring breeze contains more anions, which have a calming and hypnotic effect on people. Physical exercise can enhance heart function, improve blood circulation and brain supply, and reduce the discomfort of spring sleepiness.

Reduce sourness and increase sweetness. Reduce sourness and increase sweetness means eat less sour food and more sweet food. This is because spring is the time when the liver is strong, and strong liver qi will affect the spleen. It is also one of the reasons why chronic gastritis and peptic ulcers frequently occur in spring. Because eating sour foods can cause hyperactivity of liver qi, it is not advisable to eat too much. Eating more desserts can strengthen the function of the spleen and help resist the invasion of liver qi. Therefore, in spring and autumn, it is advisable to choose spicy, sweet and warm foods, such as onions, ginger, dates, peanuts, etc. Avoid sour, greasy, raw and cold foods. Eat more yellow-green vegetables such as carrots, green peppers, cauliflower, etc.

The above is an introduction to some methods of health preservation in spring. I hope that through these introductions everyone can pay more attention to these health care methods in life. As long as you follow these methods and health preservation methods, they can truly help you achieve the goals you want to achieve, and will not bring some adverse effects to your health.
