What should we pay attention to in health preservation during the Spring Equinox?

To soothe the liver, first prevent qi and blood stasis

Due to winter tonic, a large amount of fat accumulates in the liver. The heat and waste stored in the liver need to be released and cleaned out. Only after the liver is cleaned up can protecting the liver be meaningful. This is called "soothing the liver". To allow the liver to function properly, you should pay attention to maintaining emotional balance. We should express our emotions, including joy, anger, sorrow and happiness, but do it in moderation. It is better to eat light nourishing food rather than muddy nourishing food. You can eat more green food to nourish the liver.

To prevent eye diseases, you need to nourish the liver and kidneys

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that eye diseases should be prevented and treated by regulating the liver and tonifying the kidneys. Because, "the liver opens up to the eyes", only when the liver has sufficient essence and energy can the eyes be clear and bright. If the liver fire is inflamed, the eyes may be swollen and red, and if the liver is deficient, the eyes may be dry and the vision may be blurred. “The kidney is the mother of the liver, and the liver and kidney are of the same origin.” Only when the kidney has sufficient qi and blood can the normal function of the liver be maintained.
Medicinal wolfberry, black bean and pork ribs soup has significant effect in improving eyesight and can be eaten often. Use 20 grams of wolfberry, 30 grams of black beans, 300 grams of pork bones, and appropriate amounts of ginger slices, scallion segments, fine salt, and rice wine. Boil the wolfberry, black beans, and pork bones over high heat, add seasonings, then simmer over low heat until the black beans are cooked and the soup is thick.
In addition, Chinese medicine practitioners also recommended an acupuncture point for improving eyesight - Sibai Point (located on the face, directly below the pupil, in the depression of the infraorbital foramen). Sibai point is an important point on the stomach meridian. Pressing and rubbing Sibai point can lead the qi and blood of the stomach meridian to the eyes, thereby achieving the effect of improving eyesight.

Avoid mood swings around the spring equinox

The reason why schizophrenia is highly prevalent in spring is closely related to the dysfunction of the liver's secretion function. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the heart controls blood and the liver stores blood. When you are in a bad mood, it will affect the liver's function of storing blood. If the liver qi is not released, the accumulated heat will turn into fire, which will eventually affect the function of the heart. "Suwen Yin Yang Ying Xiang Da Lun" said: "Anger hurts the liver, and sadness overcomes anger." If one is emotionally depressed, the liver's function of dispersing and venting will be disrupted, and then liver depression will turn into fire, disturbing the mind. Around the Spring Equinox, be careful to avoid emotional fluctuations and do more outdoor activities. Go with the wind and let go of your worries.
Press and rub the Hegu and Taichong points, they are the nemesis of schizophrenia. Traditional Chinese medicine has used these two acupoints to cure many patients with schizophrenia. Taichong point is the first important point on the liver meridian. Rubbing Taichong point can supply blood to the heart. As long as this main switch is opened, the qi and blood of the entire liver meridian will be vigorous.
Hegu point is the original point on the large intestine meridian. Like Taichong point, it is the master switch of the large intestine meridian. It is known as "Hegu acupoint for the face". In addition, Hegu point has the function of raising clearness and lowering turbidity, and promoting the circulation of Qi and blood. Therefore, it should not be underestimated in the treatment of schizophrenia. But those with poor physical constitutions are said in ancient times to have the arrival of the black bird during the Spring Equinox. Strong stimulation should not be given and pregnant women should avoid it.
