According to Chinese medicine, autumn corresponds to the lungs of the human body, the principle of health care is to “nourish the lungs” in autumn, to prevent external “six obscene” in the “dry and fire”. This means that as the sunlight gradually closes in autumn, the yin energy gradually grows and everything matures, and it is time to harvest. The key to protecting yin energy is to “prevent dryness and protect yin”. “Dryness” is the main qi of autumn, so it is called “autumn dryness”. Dryness hurts people by consuming their legal fluids, and the fluids are consumed, so there will be a “dry image”, and it is often easy to suffer from dryness. The corresponding organ in this season is the lung, the lung division of respiration, outside the skin, and with the large intestine, so when the humidity in the air drops, there will be lung, skin, large intestine and other parts of the “dry” as a characteristic pathological phenomenon. In terms of health, in the autumn, spiritual conditioning is to maintain mental peace, to achieve this, first of all, we must cultivate optimism, quietly think about the joy of the harvest, keep the mind stable, collect the spirit of convergence. To often sunbathe, let the sun give warmth, when the mood is not good to pay attention to have a method of detoxification, such as walking, playing taijiquan, etc.. Life to prevent the occurrence of respiratory diseases, such as cough, asthma, etc.. Because lung dryness tends to make the lung qi undeclared and cause coughing. Chinese medicine believes that the nose functions well by the “lung” to preside over, at this time is prone to rhinitis, so you should drink more water and eat less cold drinks to prevent injury to the lung and trigger or aggravate cough, asthma, rhinitis, etc.. The amount of water per day varies from person to person, generally 2,000 ml a day, but also avoid cold drinks, Chinese medicine has a famous saying “form cold drink cold is hurt the lungs”. ”Less talk” is to protect the lung qi, when people keep talking every day will hurt qi, which is most likely to hurt the lung qi and heart qi, so “less talk more dry”. To strengthen the skin care, because the lungs together with the skin, and at this time “autumn dryness” and easy to hurt the lungs, so people will feel dry skin. Skin care is important to moisturize, in order to protect the skin, skin care throughout the year is very important.

Autumn is dry, windy and dusty, human lung yin is easy to lose, stomach and intestines are easy to dry, and skin is easy to dry. From the five tastes, the lung is the main pungent, the liver is the main sour, pungent can win the acid, so in autumn, we should reduce the pungent taste to calm liver qi, increase the sour taste to help liver qi, prevent the lung qi too much to win the liver, and cause liver qi stagnation. Diet to eat as little as possible onion, ginger, garlic, leek and other pungent products, eat more sour fruits and vegetables, such as hawthorn, lemon, grapefruit, walnut, mango, grapes, apples, etc..
