Spring regimen:
Spring refers to the period from beginning of spring to long summer, including six solar terms, namely, beginning of spring, Rain, Sting, Equinox, Qingming and Grain Rain. Spring is the first of the four seasons and the beginning of Vientiane's renewal. As the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic says: Spring is March, which is called Chen, heaven and earth are born, and everything is proud.
It means that when spring returns to the earth, the ice and snow have melted, the yang in nature has begun to rise, everything has revived, and everything in the world has a thriving scene, and people correspond to the earth. At this time, the yang in the human body also conforms to nature and spreads outwards.
Therefore, keeping in good health in spring must master the characteristics that the qi in spring rises and rises comfortably, and pay attention to defending the yang in the body to make it constantly abundant and gradually vigorous. Any situation that damages the yang and hinders it should be avoided. This principle of keeping in good health should run through diet, exercise, daily life, disease prevention, spirit and other aspects.
