From the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, this is due to dampness in the body, which hurts yang and is heavy and turbid.
Spring is more common in the south, because "returning to the south sky" is the most humid scene in nature.
Back to Nantian, damp evil invades the human body from the outside and stays in various organs and tissues, causing illness.
"The phlegm is clear, and the head is heavy when you are sleepy," which shows that you still feel very sleepy when you get up in the morning, and you feel that something is wrapped on your head, which makes people feel tired; Or feel that something is wrapped around the body, which makes people too lazy to move; Dampness and evil staying in the spleen and stomach of the middle energizer will affect the transport, which will make people feel sleepy, the four branches of the body are heavy, and they have no appetite. These symptoms are all obvious manifestations of "spring sleep".
How to recuperate "Spring Sleepiness"?
When spleen deficiency and dampness are sleepy, it is best to strengthen the spleen and remove dampness in diet conditioning, and expel excess water from the body (diuresis) or reduce it, so that evil can have a way out, no longer hinder viscera and qi, and restore its normal physiological function.
Lingnan dietotherapy often uses "clearing and cooling" as a kind of food, most of which are mild and slow, which not only strengthens the spleen but also permeates (promotes dampness), and is especially suitable for Guangdong people who are weak in spleen and stomach and are not resistant to cold and heat.
Guangdong Qingbuliang has different formulas. Most of them are yam, lotus seed, arrowroot, coix seed and lily to strengthen the spleen and remove dampness, or materials such as Radix Adenophorae, Rhizoma Polygonati Odorati, etc. are added to make soup and porridge, all of which are commonly used methods to remove "spring sleep" and dampness.
Among them, it is worth noting that barley is one thing.
Coix seed is the most commonly used product for eliminating dampness, which is called "Coix seed" in traditional Chinese medicine, and it is listed as the top grade in Shennong Materia Medica Classic. It can cure dampness, benefit the stomach, eliminate edema, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and make people fit and benefit qi after long-term administration.
Coix seed has a good diuretic and dampness-removing effect, and "spring sleep" is the most effective. However, coix seed is the most cold and cool traditional 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 seed to yellow for use, which will restrict the coldness. Stir-fried coix seed is to take clean coix seed and stir-fry it with slow fire until it is slightly yellow, take it out when it bulges, let it cool, and it will be slightly scorched and slightly fragrant.
