How do women maintain health in spring?

Women's physical constitution is much worse than that of men, especially during menstruation, the body's immunity will continue to decline. As long as there is any carelessness, bacteria will enter the body and cause some complications. Therefore, women should learn to maintain their health at home in spring. Let us learn about some spring health care methods for women.

Health preservation methods:

When spring returns, the human body's Yang energy begins to move to the surface, the skin pores gradually relax, the blood supply to the skin surface increases, and the limbs feel sleepy. Hence the saying "Spring sleep is so deep that you don't wake up until dawn, and you can hear birds singing everywhere." Often, even when the sun is three feet high, the sleepiness has not yet gone away. However, sleeping in is not conducive to the growth of Yang energy. Therefore, in terms of daily life, one is required to sleep late and get up early, take off the hat and let the hair down, loosen the belt, stretch the body, walk slowly in the courtyard or on the field, overcome the emotional state of fatigue and sleepiness, so as to help the rise of yang energy.

The climate changes greatly in spring, and it is easy to experience sudden changes in warmth and cold. In addition, the body's pores begin to become loose, and the body's resistance to cold is weakened. Therefore, it is not advisable to take off your cotton clothes all of a sudden in spring. Especially for the elderly and infirm, it is necessary to be cautious when removing or taking off winter clothes and not to remove them suddenly. For this reason, Qianjin Yaofang advocates that in spring, clothes should be "thick on the bottom and thin on the top" to nourish yang and restrain yin. Lao Lao Heng Yan also says: "When the spring frost has not yet healed, the lower body is better to be too warm, and the upper body can be slightly reduced, so as to nourish the Yang vitality." Of course, this is only a health-preserving method in ancient times. The lifestyle of contemporary people has undergone tremendous changes, and people's yang energy is gradually declining. The head and neck are purely yang bodies, so they are not suitable for catching cold.

Spring belongs to wood, which corresponds to the liver. The liver is responsible for the regulation of emotions, which in terms of the mind is anger. It hates depression and likes to be relaxed. Therefore, in order to maintain good health in spring, we must avoid violent anger and depression. We must be open-minded, optimistic and happy, and "give life but do not kill, keep things but do not take them away, reward but do not punish" ("The Great Treatise on the Four Qi to Regulate the Spirit"). While protecting the ecological environment, we must cultivate a good love for nature and noble moral character. Therefore, in spring, "no felling of trees, no covering of nests or killing of fetuses" (Huainanzi·Shi Ze Xun) was regarded as one of the important contents of administrative orders by ancient emperors. Health experts of all dynasties unanimously believed that in the spring when the weather is bright, the weather is gentle, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, one should go outings, climb mountains to appreciate flowers, play in the stream, sing and dance, cultivate one's temperament, adapt one's spirit and emotions to the nature of spring, be full of vitality, and benefit from the spring sun's growth.

The above introduces us to some methods of health preservation for women in spring, but the focus should still be on yourself. Don’t eat too spicy food, arrange your work and life time reasonably, combine work and rest, and don’t work excessively, which will lead to sub-healthy body.
