Goodbye Spring
Enjoying flowers is refreshing; in my free time, I most enjoy going to the flower market to buy different flowers to add a touch of life to my home. I saw many flower shops displaying peonies larger than a fist. Peonies are also known as Gu Yu flowers, signifying that we have now reached the last solar term of spring: Gu Yu.
As rain nurtures the grains, the overcast sky and drizzling rain nourish the earth, but the humid air increases the burden on the spleen's function of transporting and transforming water and dampness.
With the change of seasons, liver fire becomes exuberant, and the body's qi and blood continuously rise, making it easy for "heatiness" or spring fire to appear, causing symptoms like dizziness and palpitations. At this time, in addition to being careful about accumulated heat in the body, it is also important to nourish yin to calm the liver, and strengthen the spleen to eliminate dampness.
You can prepare 3 grams of Gynostemma pentaphyllum, 5 grams of Cassia Seed, and 3 grams of Panax notoginseng flower. Wash the ingredients and steep them in hot water for 15 minutes before drinking. This tea can clear heat, calm liver yang, strengthen the spleen and boost qi, and lower blood pressure; it is suitable for those with exuberant liver yang who easily experience dizziness, irritability, and dry mouth.
Gynostemma pentaphyllum, with a bitter, slightly sweet taste and cool nature, enters the spleen, lung, and kidney meridians; it can clear heat and detoxify, boost qi and strengthen the spleen, and resolve phlegm and stop cough.
Cassia Seed, with a sweet, bitter, and salty taste and slightly cold nature, enters the liver and large intestine meridians; it can lower blood pressure, clear the liver and improve eyesight, moisten the intestines and promote bowel movements, and reduce fat and lose weight.
Panax notoginseng flower, with a sweet taste and cool nature, enters the liver and stomach meridians; it can clear heat, calm the liver, and improve hypertension-related dizziness, vertigo, tinnitus, and acute pharyngitis.
In spring and summer, nourish yang. Everyone should move around more and do some stretching exercises, which can help eliminate dampness, regulate emotions, and prevent liver qi stagnation.
