Health care points of vernal equinox and solar terms:

? Traditional Chinese medicine health care is closely related to the seasonal changes of nature, so at this time, health care should also conform to the characteristics of solar terms and stress balance to lay a good foundation for one year's health. The vernal equinox focuses on nourishing the liver, because spring corresponds to the liver of the five internal organs. In addition to following the principle of nourishing yang in spring and summer and nourishing yin in autumn and winter, people should also pay attention to maintaining the balance of yin and yang in health care, because the solar terms on the vernal equinox will be divided equally between day and night.
