Spring into Health: Embracing Nature’s Rhythm, Best Time to Cleanse

Spring isn’t just a season—it’s a dynamic invitation for renewal, awakening a vibrancy within us that mirrors nature’s own resurgence. As the days lengthen and the earth reawakens, our bodies naturally align to this fresh rhythm. Let’s explore how to harness spring’s energy to cultivate a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.

Embrace the Rising Energy

With spring, energy begins to rise. As nature prepares to bloom, our bodies mirror this awakening, inviting us to adjust our daily habits. Rising with the sun can supercharge our mornings. By greeting the day early, we allow ourselves to absorb the gentle warmth and illumination of the morning light. Likewise, going to bed early helps us honor our natural circadian rhythm, ensuring that we recuperate and rejuvenate each night. This deep synchronization with nature not only boosts our vitality but also creates a consistent flow with the season’s inherent energy.

A Time to Cleanse and Release, Acupuncture can help

The shift from winter to spring marks a time when our bodies become more receptive and open. After months of guarding against winter’s bite, they are now primed to let go of what’s no longer needed. This is an excellent moment to release the “pathogens” of cold energy, lingering stagnant energies, and even the stress from current uncertainties.  Acupuncture and wet cupping are good therapies to help our body to release those unhealthy energies, then our body can function better in a cleaner inner environment. Other forms of cleaning, like gentle movement, breathing exercises, or mindfulness practices, can also help to shred these burdens to clear the way for enhanced health and a renewed sense of well-being.

Enjoy more time outside with the nature

In Sunny days, try to spend more time outside with our mother nature. Our body carries the mild electricity. Earth is a great charger for our human battery. Walking on grass land can make us feel more energy and release.  Feel the gentle warmth of the sunshine penetrating into our body, smell the fresh grassy spring aroma in the air, hear the bird chirping, look at a new bud just sprouting out. Immersing in our beautiful spring.

Savor the Pungent Flavors of Spring

Spring also brings a culinary opportunity that harmonizes with the season’s energetic uplift. Foods with a pungent, yet slightly savory profile aren’t just delightful to the palate—they have historically been appreciated for their ability to stimulate and elevate bodily energy. Incorporating ingredients like ginger, garlic, and other warm spices can encourage better circulation and throughout life. These flavors act as natural catalysts, sparking the inner fires of our system and helping us fully experience the liberating essence of spring’s revival. Experiment with seasonal recipes that incorporate these vibrant elements and let your diet join in the celebration of this regenerative time.

Conclusion

Spring is a tapestry of renewal—a chance to realign our routines, cleanse our bodies and minds, and savor life with renewed vigor. From waking with the dawn and embracing flavors that ignite our inner spark, every aspect of our routine can echo the season’s promise of growth and vitality. Embrace these practices, and let the rising energy of spring propel you towards a healthier, more balanced life.

Why China Uses 1800 Year Old TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) Remedy to Battle Covid-19.               (Summary and translation of the original article from website of national administration of TCM in China)

According to Wang Wei, vice president and professor of Beijing university of TCM,  the herbal  remedy known as Qingfei  tang was widely used in China during the outbreak of covid-19.   This compound combines four classical formulas that have been in use for over 1800 years throughout China.

Clinical observation and research was carried out in 66 designated hospitals in China. As of Apr 12/20, of the 1262 patients admitted, 1253 (99%) recovered and were discharged.  Of those patients who were admitted with mild symptoms, not one single patient’s symptoms ever became severe.

In a separate observation of 133 patients diagnosed with Covid-19 in Shangxi province, the 103 patients who used Qingfei tang improved quickly. Their fevers were gone within three days. The improvement in the health of their lungs was very obvious after six days of treatment.  It took average ten days for a patient to transform Covid-19 positive into Covid-19 negative.

In the province of Hubei, the main battlefield in Wuhan, Qingfei tang is the most commonly used herb remedy.  Many herbal tea companies joined the effort to prepare the prescriptions for free. Since Feb 5/20, a total of 390,000 bags of this herbal decoction have been distributed in Wuhan.  A total of 500,000 bags of this compound have been distributed to the people of Hubei province. If we assume each patient takes this medicine for 7 days at 2 bags per day, that’s over 60,000 patients.

This ancient Chinese medicine Qingfei tang, helps the body strengthen its own, built-in self-healing ability, which we all know is our immune system. The strength of our immune system ultimately determines how well we respond to attacks from all disease.
