From the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, this is because the body is wet, yang is injured and turbidity is heavy.
Spring is more common in the south, because "returning to the south" is the wettest scene in nature.
Back in Nantian, dampness invades the human body from the outside and stays in various organs and tissues, causing diseases.
"Clear phlegm, sleepy head" means that I am still sleepy in the morning, and I feel that something is wrapped on my head, which makes people feel very tired; Or feel that something is wrapped in the body, which makes people too lazy to move; Staying in the spleen and stomach of the middle energizer will affect the transport and transformation, making people sleepy, with four heavy limbs and no appetite. These symptoms are obvious manifestations of "spring sleep".
How to recuperate "spring sleep"?
When spleen deficiency and dampness are sleepy, it is best to strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness in diet conditioning, and discharge (diuresis) or reduce excess water in the body, so that evil spirits can have a way out, no longer hinder viscera and qi, and restore their normal physiological functions.
Lingnan dietotherapy often takes "coolness" as a kind of food, which is mostly mild and slow, strengthening the spleen and permeating dampness (diuresis), especially suitable for Cantonese with weak spleen and stomach and no cold and heat tolerance.
Guangdong Qingbuliang has different formulas. Most of them are yam, lotus seeds, taro, coix seed, lily, spleen-strengthening and dampness-eliminating, or Adenophora adenophora, Polygonatum odoratum and other materials. They are all added to make soup and porridge, and they are all commonly used methods to get rid of "spring sleep" and dampness.
Among them, it is worth noting that barley is one thing.
Coix lachryma-jobi is the most commonly used product for eliminating dampness, which is called "Coix lachryma-jobi" in Chinese medicine and is listed as the top grade in Shennong Materia Medica Classic. Long-term administration can eliminate dampness, benefit the stomach, eliminate edema, strengthen the spleen and regulate the stomach, and strengthen the body and replenish qi.
Coix seed has a good diuretic effect, and "spring sleep" is the most effective. However, coix seed is the coldest Chinese medicine, which is not harmful to people with warm constitution, but for people with cold constitution, eating coix seed often is tantamount to adding insult to injury, and there are many adverse reactions such as stomach pain and diarrhea!
In these cases, we can consider frying Coix lachryma-jobi seeds until they are yellow, which will restrict the coldness. Stir-frying job's tears is to take clean job's tears and stir-fry them until they are slightly yellow, then take them out when they are swollen, and let them cool, slightly burnt and slightly fragrant.
