Farewell Spring
A few nights ago, I forgot to close the window, and all the books on the windowsill were soaked by a heavy rain. We are now at the end of spring, with the last solar term "Guyu" (Grain Rain), which means rain nourishes the grains. This symbolizes the approaching summer when rain helps grains grow, and the spring sowing season is coming to an end.
In spring, the liver energy in the human body is strong, and qi and blood rush upwards. However, with the arrival of Guyu, rainfall and temperature will fluctuate significantly. The humid weather increases the burden on the spleen to transport and transform water. Therefore, the focus of health preservation is to nourish yin, balance the liver, strengthen the spleen, and dispel dampness.
To nourish the liver and strengthen the spleen, you can simply use eight grams each of goji berries and Poria, add hot water, and steep in a thermos for 15 minutes before drinking. This tea can strengthen the spleen and benefit the kidneys, nourish the liver, and improve eyesight. Goji berries are sweet in taste, warm in nature, and enter the liver and kidney meridians; they can strengthen the liver and kidneys, benefit essence and qi, clear liver heat, and improve eyesight; they can treat liver and kidney yin deficiency, dizziness, and also promote metabolism, enhance immunity, and improve constitution. Poria is sweet in taste, neutral in nature, and enters the heart and spleen meridians; it can strengthen the spleen and calm the mind, tonify the spleen and benefit the heart, promote diuresis and dispel dampness, and nourish the heart and calm the mind.
In addition to brewing tea, you can also strengthen the spleen and stomach through diet. You might consider buying fresh Chinese yam, peel and slice it, pan-fry each side over medium heat for three minutes, add a little soy sauce, then reduce heat and pan-fry each side for another minute. Remember to wear gloves when washing and preparing Chinese yam, otherwise it can cause severe itching. Chinese yam has the effects of tonifying qi and nourishing yin, regulating the spleen and stomach, and can also supplement yin and generate fluid, making it suitable for all ages.
As summer approaches, yin energy gradually diminishes and yang energy gradually grows. While fighting the epidemic at home, you should also follow the rhythms of nature, go to bed early and wake up early, regulate your internal organs, and prevent discomfort caused by climate changes.
