Spring and summer nourish Yang first seen in the Suwen – four qi tune Shen Da Lun: “The four yin and Yang, the fundamental of all things, is why the sage spring and summer nourish Yang, autumn and winter nourish Yin, to from its roots, so with all things sink and float in the door of growth. Against its roots, it will cut its capital, bad its true carry on.” So now how to raise Yang in summer? 1, wet for the summer right qi Do not reject the wet, and do not talk about the wet and pale, because the wet for the summer right qi. Here the right qi is the normal qi, should have qi. Literally, “wet” is the Yang heat vapor rising from the water. According to the characteristics of summer weather, we can also know that summer is wet. Or ask: Is it bad to have more humidity? The answer is that, as always, wet is the right qi in summer. Without moisture, people will die of dryness? Because of the summer heat, there must be moisture to neutralize it. So it is normal to have moisture, but too much moisture then becomes a disease. 2, heat also for the summer proper summer arrived, Yang Qi relaxation, warm Sheng for heat. Summer weather is hot. If it is not hot, people will not die of cold, everything can still grow? Therefore, heat is also the righteousness of summer. At the same time, it should be noted that because of the heat, it is very easy to deplete the body’s fluid. So summer needs to be replenished with more water. 3, the need to maintain a balance between moisture and heat Both moisture and heat are the righteousness of summer, so the two are in a state of balance. That is, in summer, due to the heat, moisture vapor, diffuse in the air, moisten the air, into rain after landing on the ground, and moisten the ground. The so-called wind and rain is neither too hot, nor too wet. If there is too much heat, there will be dry mouth, fever and other symptoms of Yang summer. If it is too wet, there will be dizziness, heavy head, fear of cold and other symptoms of Yin summer evidence. 4, summer moisture and heat movement process In summary, we can know the summer heat and moisture movement process: ① summer weather is very hot, easy to produce heat evidence → ② heat is easy to consume the body’s yin liquid, so you need to replenish the fluid. →③ Use warm and dispersing foods or methods to move dampness upward in summer and dissolve it so that it acts as a nourishing agent. →④Prevent dampness from going down and making the lower part of the body (especially the spleen and stomach) cold (dampness is a yin evil and tends to hurt yang energy). 5.What is spring and summer nourishing Yang? Spring and summer nourishing yang in the summer nourishing yang for now, let’s not talk about summer nourishing yang alone. Through the process above, we know that summer nourishing Yang is mainly for two aspects, namely Yang and water. For ① Yang Qi tends to hurt Yin. The way to deal with this is to replenish fluid, so you can eat more watermelon and a variety of fruits to relieve the summer heat, etc.; to ② water fluid is prone to cold. The way to deal with the warming of water dampness, this can be used to warm food, such as ginger, etc.. 6, how to choose food grasp the mechanism of the above two, that is, know what you can eat, what you can not eat, when to eat what, but also will not just confused by people. For example, some doctors say they can not eat watermelon, but they eat watermelon obviously feel very comfortable, eat after the mouth is not thirsty, not dizzy. Of course, for those who usually feel cold in their stomachs, they need to eat ginger slices with them. For those who have both yin deficiency and dampness, they need to eat watermelon to replenish yin and ginger to disperse cold. The only thing is to be flexible. 7, do not get sick in the summer good habits (1) drink more hot water. Especially when sweating and thirst should drink hot water; (2) eat more hot soup, hot rice.
