Nourishing Yang in Spring And Summer, Using Cistanche Deserticola Well, These Symptoms Will All Improve!

There is a saying in traditional Chinese medicine that is called "nourishing yang in spring and summer, nourishing yin in autumn and winter", because summer is the most vigorous period for the generation and development of yang in nature, and the human body should also follow the growth of yang and pay attention to nourishing yang.

When the yang qi is strong and the blood flow in the human body is smooth, nutrients can be transported to various organs of the body, and the body will become better and better.

So how to nourish yang in summer? We can mainly start from these aspects:

Chinese medicines such as ginseng, cistanche herb, and astragalus

1.  What is Yangyang in spring and summer?

To cultivate yang well in spring and summer, one must first understand yin and yang.

The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon - Simple Questions - Four Qi and Spirit Regulating Treatise: "The four seasons of Yin and Yang are the fundamental principles of all things. Therefore, the sage nourishes Yang in spring and summer, and Yin in autumn and winter to follow its roots. Therefore, he is able to sink and float with all things at the gate of growth. If he goes against its roots, he will cut off its roots and destroy its truth." This passage tells us that living between heaven and earth, one must adapt to the changes in the surrounding natural environment and climate, and adjust their way of life. Spring is warm and summer is hot, so the human body should also pay attention to protecting yang qi.

Chinese medicines such as ginseng, cistanche tubulosa, and astragalus

The meaning of the Inner Canon is very clear, that is, whether it is nourishing yang in spring and summer or nourishing yin in autumn and winter, its purpose is to achieve a balance between yin and yang, and ultimately achieve a natural state of yin and yang balance.

So, we cannot put the cart before the horse, thinking that nourishing yang in spring and summer is for the sake of more abundant yang qi, and we should know that nourishing yang in spring and summer is also for the better realization of yin yang balance. Only by knowing this can it be possible to avoid problems such as catching fire.

In summer, many people believe that when it's hot, they should drink cold water to relieve the heat, but practice has proven this approach to be wrong. Because under high temperatures, the distribution of yang qi inside and outside the human body is significantly different from winter and spring. When the human body is hot, the yang qi in the body will diffuse to the surface of the body and dissipate the heat through sweating. This will lead to a relative decrease in the yang qi inside the body, leading to spleen and stomach deficiency and cold. This is like a flame, hot on the outside but cold on the inside.

Human nerve endings are very sensitive to sensations such as temperature and pain, especially on the surface of the body. So when the body's surface feels hot, people often want to drink ice water to quench their thirst. However, ice water only stays in the surface areas of the mouth, chest, and other areas for a short period of time, and eventually enters the stomach, which is the body of deficiency cold. If you drink too much ice water at this time, it can exacerbate the coldness of the spleen and stomach, leading to discomfort symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, cough, and asthma.

Therefore, in summer health preservation, we need to pay attention to the principle of "nourishing yang in spring and summer". This is not only a reflection of the idea of "harmony between heaven and man" and "conforming to the times", but also a principle of summer health preservation that is in line with clinical practice. It is recommended to choose warm drinks, such as mung bean soup, rice mung bean porridge, green tea, sour plum soup, etc., to relieve the heat. This can eliminate moisture and heat from the body through sweat, achieving the effect of heat dissipation. It is worth noting that for people with a strong stomach, drinking ice water in moderation does not cause abdominal pain or diarrhea.

2. Diet should be warm but not cold

It is written in Yi Shen Ji: "In summer, the heart is flourishing and the kidney is failing. Although it is very hot, it is not suitable to eat cold snow, honey water, jelly, or cold Congee. If you are full and cold, you will have cholera." In summer, although the weather is hot, the diet is cold and cold, which is most likely to damage the yang, damage the spleen and stomach, and increase the coldness and dampness in the body.

The summer diet should be based on the principles of being light, moist, nutritious, and easy to digest. It is appropriate to eat some warm foods to warm and replenish the spleen and stomach yang qi that is depleted in the body.
