Spring is the season of recovery of all things, Yang Qi, the five elements, spring is wood, through the liver, so the liver Qi is strong, coupled with the air is humid, the spleen is easy to be trapped. Therefore, it is appropriate to focus on Yang, liver and wake up the spleen. “Fragrant foods can often fulfill these requirements. Cilantro Cilantro is pungent and warm in nature, with a distinctive aroma, which is effective in driving away wind and rashes, benefiting the spleen and strengthening the stomach, and eliminating food and gas. Properly eating cilantro can disperse the cold and fight against the “spring cold”. Spring rain for several days, some children will lose appetite, thin stools, mothers thought the child food, in fact, the child by the nature of the influence of dampness. The spleen likes dryness and hates dampness, and when the dampness is too heavy, the spleen will be unmotivated and muddy. At this time, the use of malt, grain buds, hawthorn to eliminate food or yam to strengthen the spleen may not be very effective, but a little aromatic cilantro, “wake up the spleen” is the best strategy! Shiitake Mushrooms Shiitake mushrooms are flat and sweet in nature, and also have a unique and strong aroma, which is aromatic and awakens the spleen, strengthens the spleen and opens the stomach, and helps to strengthen and replenish the deficiency. Compared to cilantro, it has a much softer character, so people with ordinary body weakness can also eat it regularly. And cilantro, although the previous said a lot of good things about her, after all, is a pungent and warm role, long-term or large amounts of food may also be or exhaustion of qi, therefore, to grasp the amount of food. From the nutritional point of view, shiitake mushrooms are rich in vitamins, and as many as 18 kinds of amino acids, especially lysine and arginine content is the richest, is the body to supplement the amino acid food of choice. Therefore, if you want your children to seize the golden period of spring to grow taller, you must leave a place on the table for the dear shiitake mushrooms!

Shiso Shiso is also a good girl, warm and pungent, not only can sweat and dissipate cold in order to solve the surface evil, but also can move qi and broaden the middle, relieve depression and stop vomiting, the most suitable for the spring of the cold and damp dew heavy. Especially in the early stages of wind-cold cold or cold with vomiting, a small handful of perilla boiled water to drink or boiled water bath is very useful! Some people ask that since it is so good, can it be boiled and drunk every day to prevent colds? This kind of aromatic food, eating too much is also easy to consume qi, so it is not suitable for every day as a meal. But you can often use it to soak your feet, and you can also call on her good friend patchouli or mugwort when you soak your feet. Patchouli is also a good guy for spring, but as food, the flavor is a little strong, therefore, fall out of this menu.

Nonetheless, in the choice, we give children to eat these aromatic foods with attention to: 1. Respect the child’s tastes and choose those above that they can accept. For example, many children do not accept cilantro, but peel ginger is acceptable, then do peel ginger carp fish soup. 2, cilantro, parsley, leek belongs to the pungent and warm and yang-boosting food, there is a risk of inducing allergies for allergic children.
