How to prevent mood disorders in spring

As the saying goes, “when the rapeseed flowers are yellow, the idiot is busy”. A large number of clinical surveys and statistics found that the spring March-May is the high incidence of psychiatric disorders, especially in the rapeseed bloom in April, the peak of such disease attacks. To testify in advance for canola, these mental system disorders are not caused by canola. So why is this? From a meteorological point of view, some medical doctors believe that people with psychiatric disorders are more sensitive to climate change, especially when the rapeseed flowers are in full bloom, yesterday it was springtime and springtime, today it is cloudy and rainy, and the cold attacks the muscles and bones. When the temperature rises and the humidity is too high, people tend to be unresponsive, irritable and restless; when it is cloudy, people tend to be depressed and disoriented, which are the effects of natural climate change on the human body. For patients with psychiatric disorders, they are more sensitive to changes in the external climate and react more intensely than normal people. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, spring is wood, and the five organs of the human body are classified according to the five elements, and liver also belongs to wood. If the liver qi rises and develops normally, people will be at peace; if the liver qi rises and develops too much or not enough, it will easily cause diseases.

The liver has a yin body and a yang body, and has the function of soothing the qi and regulating the emotions. The liver is the master of the rising and releasing of qi. Failure to relax the liver qi will lead to low mood, low desire, and even reduced sleep quality and depression. To prevent “mood disorders”, you can start from the following aspects: a.

The liver is the main drainage, smooth qi flow, liver meridian “up through the diaphragm, cloth ward ribs”, bile attached to the liver, bile meridian “along the lateral part of the chest, through the quarter ward, down to the hip joint (ring jump point) and the front vein will meet, and then down along the outer thigh, out of the outer knee joint, in front of the fibula “, emotional disease patients usually self-care, by patting the liver and gallbladder meridian, or stretching the limbs, to play a role in unblocking the liver and gallbladder meridian qi. Third, discriminatory treatment, taking Chinese medicine For some patients with obvious mood disorders or depression and insomnia, the individualized regulation of Chinese medicine discriminatory treatment is very helpful.
