Winter Solstice is one of the 24 solar terms in the lunar calendar, and it is the day with the shortest day and longest night of the year. From the summer solstice to the winter solstice, the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer because the direct sunlight point has gradually moved south from the Tropic of Cancer to the Tropic of Capricorn. We all know that all the energy on earth comes from the sun, so the winter solstice is the weakest day of yang energy. The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine says, “On the 45th day of the winter solstice, the yang energy is slightly up and the yin energy is slightly down; on the 45th day of the summer solstice, the yin energy is slightly up and the yang energy is slightly down. The yin and the yang are sometimes, with the pulse for a period of time.” This sentence means that the winter solstice is the weakest day of Yang Qi in the sky, but it is also the beginning of Yang Qi growth in the next year, as the saying goes, what goes around comes around. The winter solstice is the birth of a yang, that’s the truth. So what do we need to do in terms of health and wellness? First of all, you can use beef, mutton and other hot meat in the diet, one can drive away the cold, two can respond to the characteristics of the winter solstice after the Yang Qi is born. Secondly, in the living, to sleep early and get up late, to ensure sufficient sleep, to avoid the cold on the temperature. Exercise more often, walking, playing tai chi, etc. are conducive to the growth of Yang Qi. For patients who have some long-term chronic diseases, they can take herbal medicines for recuperation from the winter solstice onwards, while Chinese herbal poultices can be used for comprehensive conditioning for different patients’ basic conditions, and the unique process of collecting poultices is also an excellent choice for winter tonic.
