The Rain Water solar term in 2019 is on February 19, 2019 at 07:03:35 in the Gregorian calendar, which happens to be the same day as the Lantern Festival. The "Collection of Explanations of the 72 Solar Terms in the Lunar Calendar" records: "In the middle of the first month, Heaven produces water. The beginning of spring belongs to wood, but what produces wood must be water, so the Rain Water follows the Beginning of Spring. And when the east wind thaws the ice, it disperses and becomes rain." This means that around the Rain Water solar term, all things begin to sprout, and spring is about to arrive. For example, the "Book of Yi Zhou" records the phenological phenomena such as "the arrival of wild geese" and "the sprouting of grass and trees" after the Rain Water Festival.

What should we pay attention to in maintaining health during the Rain Water solar term?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver is responsible for growth and development, so in spring the liver qi is strong and the liver wood can easily overcome the spleen earth. Therefore, improper health care in spring can easily damage the spleen, leading to a decline in spleen and stomach function. After the Rain Water solar term, as rainfall increases, cold and dampness are most likely to trap the spleen. At the same time, dampness lingers and is difficult to remove, so before and after the Rain Water, we should focus on nourishing the spleen.
The focus of nourishing the spleen in spring is first to regulate the liver and keep the liver qi harmonious and smooth. The diet should be balanced, and the protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, etc. in the food should be kept in corresponding proportions. At the same time, you should keep the five flavors balanced, try to eat less spicy food, and eat more fresh vegetables.
Secondly, pay attention to strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness. It nourishes the spleen internally and clears away dampness externally, thus achieving the purpose of nourishing the spleen. It is chilly in spring and humidity usually brings "cold" with it, so you must keep warm before and after the rain and avoid catching cold. At the same time, eat less raw and cold foods to protect the yang energy of the spleen and stomach. You can eat more foods such as crucian carp, carrots, yam, millet, etc. to achieve the purpose of strengthening the spleen. During the rainy season, we must also prevent "late spring cold". This is because the rainfall in early spring will cause a sudden drop in temperature, which poses a particular threat to the health of the elderly and children. Especially when the temperature drops suddenly, the blood pressure of the elderly will increase significantly, which can easily induce heart disease, myocardial infarction, etc.; children are more likely to develop respiratory diseases due to changes in temperature, leading to colds and fevers.
