• 二十四节气之“冬至”（22-12-2022）

“冬至”是中国传统阴历中的二十二个节气，也是冬季的第四个节气。“冬至”中的“至”意为极致，即“阴极之至，阳气始生”，阴气到了最鼎盛的时候，也是阳要生长的时候。此时是阴阳转换的关键节气，也是夏病冬治、冬病冬治的最好时机。在冬至养生，有助于健康过冬，甚至也可以为来年春天的健康贮备能量。
冬至时节，我们应该如何防止寒气给我们的人体造成伤害？我们又应该如何进行食补来强健我们的身体呢？在这里，我为您提供以下几点建议：
1. 气温下降，注意保暖；
2. 注意作息，早睡早起；
3. 饮食上以滋阴潜阳，增加热量为宜。与此同时，按照个人体质，配合中药材进行调理，更能达到理想的效果，比如：当归、干姜、阿胶、山药、白芍、枸杞子，等等。
“Winter Solstice” term is 22ed period in traditional Chinese lunisolar calendar, and is also the fourth term of winter. During Winter Solstice (begins this year on December 22 and ends on January 4), “Yin” will reach its peak. This is the time of year in which Yin’s aspects of darkness, inactivity, and coldness are strongest. At the same time, the spark of “Yang” is born again, and also brings its energy of light, activity and warmth.
According the theory of Nourishing life of TCM, Winter Solstice is the key solar term of the transformation of “Yin” and “Yang”, and also the best time to treat the disease of summer. Because of cold weather can prompt absorption of nutrients by the body, Winter Solstice should be a reminder for nourishing life. Therefore, how do we stay healthy during this period? I would like to provide you several recommendations:
1. Pay more attention to keep warm;
2. Regulate sleep-wake cycles: go to bed early and get up early.
3. Focus on an appropriate diet with well-cooked warming foods to keep our inner circulation and digestion strong. Meanwhile, Traditional Chinese Herbs can also maintain and nourish our energy. For example: Dang Gui, Gan Jiang, E Jiao, Shan Yao, Bai Shao, Gou Ji Zi, and so on.

冬至，又称冬节、亚岁、长至节等，是二十四节气中一个重要的节气，也是中国民间的传统节日。饺子原名“饺耳”，距今已有一千八百多年的历史。
作为中华传统美食，饺子因其具有鲜美、细腻的口感，深受男女老少的喜爱，民间尚流传着“十月一，冬至到，家家户户吃水饺”、“冬至饺子夏至面”、“好吃不过饺子”等俗语。那么，为何饺子又名“饺耳”，它是否真的与耳朵有关呢？这就不得不提到一位伟大的医学家——张仲景。相传张仲景任长沙太守时，常为百姓除疾医病。有一年当地瘟疫盛行，他在衙门口垒起大锅，舍药救人，深得长沙人民的爱戴。张仲景从长沙告老还乡后，正好赶上冬至这一天，寒风刺骨，雪花纷飞。在白河边上，张仲景看到很多无家可归的人面黄肌瘦，衣不遮体，因为寒冷，把耳朵都冻烂了，心里十分难受。张仲景回到家，因为瘟疫蔓延，求医的人特别多，他忙的不可开交，但他心里总挂记着那些冻烂耳朵的穷百姓。他仿照在长沙的办法，叫弟子在南阳东关的一块空地上搭起医棚，架起大锅，在冬至那天开张，向穷人舍药治伤。
张仲景舍药一直持续到大年三十。大年初一，人们庆祝新年，也庆祝烂耳康复，就仿娇耳的样子做过年的食物，并在初一早上吃。人们称这种食物为“饺耳”、“饺子”或“扁食”，在冬至和年初一吃，以纪念张仲景开棚舍药和治愈病人的日子。

• 二十四节气之“立春”（4-2-2023）

“立春”是中国传统阴历中的第一个节气，也是春季里的第一个节气。“立春”标志着冬春两季交替，象征着春天的来临，而此时也意味着气候变化较大，天气会乍暖还寒、忽冷忽热。在中医看来，春季养生需顺应春天阳气生发、万物始生的特点，逐渐由“秋冬养阴”过渡到“春夏养阳”。
立春之后，在一段时间里天气往往会冷暖不定，对于体弱的人来说，会受到“倒春寒”的困扰，那么我们应该如何在立春之时注意养生呢？在这里，我为您提供以下几点建议：

• 适当加强锻炼，提高机体免疫功能，但是锻炼时需注意保暖，宜进行节奏缓和的运动，以不出汗或微出汗为佳；
• 适当进补，宜多食“辛温”食物，多食“甘润”食物，少食酸物，因为酸味入肝，具有收敛之性，不利于阳气的生发和肝气的疏泄；
• 重点以养肝为主，多选用柔肝养肝，疏肝理气的食材，比如：丹参、元胡、郁金、山药、莲子、枸杞等等。

“Beginning of Spring” term is the first period in traditional Chinese lunisolar calendar, and is also the first term of spring. During Beginning of Spring (begins this year 2023 on February 4 and ends on February 18), the earth is coming back to life and getting ready to welcome the flowers of the spring. Insects begin to stir beneath the soil, while fish swim closer to the surface of the river.

According to the theory of Nourishing life in TCM, spring is a time of growth, of reaching outward, and of looking ahead. Spring is also the ideal time for cleansing and rejuvenation for our health.
How to specifically target and nourish our body in spring? I would like to provide you several recommendations:

• Take proper exercise, low-impact cardio workouts are the best option, such as Tai Ji;
• Keep body warm;
• Spring is asscoiated with the liver,  traditional Chinese Herbs can tonify and nourish the liver, such as Dan Shen, Yuan Hu, Yu Jin, Shan Yao, Lian Zi, Gou Qi Zi, and so on.

• Tomb-Sweeping Day（5-4-2023）

四月-节气清明
"Qingming"/Tomb-Sweeping Day is the fifth solar term in the traditional Chinese lunar calendar and also a traditional Chinese festival for worshipping ancestors. According to ancient records, "Qingming" means clear and bright sky and earth, and all things are clean and bright during this time, so it is called Qingming. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Qingming health preservation should follow nature, and emphasizes "Qing" (clearness), which means clearing the heart, liver, intestines and stomach, and dampness.
How can we pay attention to health preservation during Qingming specifically? Here are some suggestions:
1. Keep a happy mood, breathe fresh air, and relax the mind and body to maintain a clear and peaceful mind.
2. As liver Qi is strongest around Qingming after the beginning of spring, it is particularly important to maintain liver qi flow smoothly. It is recommended to eat warm nourishing soups. Such as goji berry and pig liver congee, Sichuan lovage and white atractylodes fish head soup, fresh Poria cocos and pork belly soup, and so on.
3. As the liver meridian corresponds to the spring season and it is strong during Qingming. It can weaken the spleen and stomach. So those with weak digestive systems should avoid digestive stasis and eat more foods that clear the intestines and stomach. Such as broccoli, onions, kelp, black fungus, etc. Drinking chrysanthemum tea can also help dispel wind and heat.
4. As Qingming is a period of alternating cold and warm air, the humidity in the air increases significantly. Using moxabustion to eliminate dampness can promote blood circulation and improve immunity.

“清明” 是中国传统阴历中的第五个节气，又是中国传统祭祖节日。中医认为，清明养生应顺应自然，重在“清”，即清心气、清肝气、清肠胃、清湿气。
在这里，我很愿意为您提供以下几点建议：

• 清心气，保持心神愉悦，多呼吸新鲜空气，放松身心；
• 清肝气，由于立春之后，人体内的肝气会随之愈盛，在清明之际达到最旺，宜食用性温养生汤品，比如枸杞猪肝粥、川穹白芷炖鱼头、鲜土茯苓煲猪展等等；
• 清肠胃，由于肝经应春气而旺，从而会导致脾胃变弱, 宜多食清肠胃的食物，比如西兰花，洋葱，海带，黑木耳等等。与此同时，饮用菊花茶也能起到疏风清热的效果。
• 清湿气，清明正处于冷空气与暖空气交替之际，因此空气湿度会明显增加，利用艾灸祛除湿气，可以促进体内血液循环，有助提高身体免疫力

• May - 24 solar term - Lesser fullness grain

五月 - 24节气 - 小满
小满是一年二十四节气中的第八个节气。告知人们是收获的前奏，也是炎热夏季的开始，更是疾病容易出现的时候。在此仲景堂诚恳建议大家要有「未病先防」的养生意识，从增强机体的正气和防止病邪的侵害这两方面入手。
1. 起居养生
小满气温明显增高，气温日差仍较大，避免着凉受风而患感冒，早起晚睡，但要保证睡眠时间，以保持精力充沛。
2.饮食养生
饮食方面，调养宜以清爽清淡为主，常吃具有清利湿热、养阴作用的食物，忌吃膏粱厚味、甘肥滋腻、生湿助湿的食物，当然也可配合药膳进行调理，常用药材如: 白扁豆，茯苓，麦冬，薏仁，还可以常饮些生脉饮以益气生津。

Lesser fullness grain (Xiao man) is the eighth solar term in the 24 solar terms . The Xiaoman solar term is a prelude to the harvest and marks the beginning of the hot summer season, as well as a time when illnesses are more likely to occur.
Regarding diet, after Xiaoman, the weather is not only hot, but there is also more sweating and rainfall. Therefore, it is recommended to focus on light and refreshing foods that clear heat, dampness, and nourish yin. It is advisable to avoid heavy and greasy foods, sweet and oily foods, and foods that are damp and humid. Of course, you can also use medicinal cuisine to regulate your diet, using ingredients such as white hyacinth bean, Poriae cocos, Ophiopogon japonicus, coix seed, and drinking some Sheng Mai Yin regularly to nourish the body's vitality and moisten the throat.

• June - 24 solar term - Grain in Ear

六月 - 24节气 - 芒种
Grain in Ear, the ninth solar term. Due to the hindered dispersal of sweat from the body, there is a phenomenon of heat and humidity. The key is to clear heat and dispel dampness. In this season, the daytime is longer and the night time is shorter, so it is advisable to go to bed late and get up early. It is important to maintain a relaxed and pleasant state of mind for mental well-being. In terms of diet, it is recommended to consume foods that have the effect of clearing heat, benefiting qi, generating body fluids, and relieving thirst. We recommends a few tips:

Put the schisandra chinensis and finely chopped goji berries in a porcelain cup, pour boiling water over them, let it soak for a while, then add white sugar and stir well before drinking. This drink nourishes kidney yin and boosts kidney yang. It is suitable for treating conditions of "summer deficiency" and is an effective tonic for health maintenance.
2. Chrysanthemum and Sophora Green Tea Drink.
This drink has the effects of clearing the liver, improving eyesight, soothing the throat, reducing swelling, calming the mind, and refreshing the brain.

芒种，是二十四节气之第九个节气。夏季气温升高，空气中的湿度增加，体内的汗液无法通畅地发散出来，即热蒸湿动， 关键是清热祛湿。夏日昼长夜短，起居宜晚睡早起。在精神调养上应该保持轻松、愉快的状态。饮食上多吃具有祛暑益气、生津止渴的饮食。我们向您推进几个小窍门:
1. 五味枸杞饮

• 24 solar term - Summer solstice -24节气 - 夏至

Summer is a season of sweating, with abundant perspiration and a hot climate, while the digestive function of the body is relatively weak. Traditional Chinese medicine suggests consuming more sour foods to consolidate the surface and more salty foods to nourish the heart.
We recommends two summer health porridge and soup recipes:
1. Lotus Leaf and Poria Congee:

从中医理论讲，夏至是阳气最旺的时节，养生要顺应夏季阳盛于外的特点，注意保护阳气。
夏季是多汗的季节，出汗多，气候炎热，人的消化功能相对较弱。中医认为此时宜多食酸味，以固表，多食咸味以补心。

Rust en regelmaat

We hebben allemaal wel eens een periode waarin we ons minder fit voelen. Ons lichaam werkt dan hard om energiek en gezond te blijven. Hierbij spreken we onze natuurlijke reserves behoorlijk aan. Daarom wordt binnen de Traditionele Chinese Geneeskunde (TCG) grote waarde gehecht aan een gezonde levensstijl waarbij we onze natuurlijke reserves niet onnodig verbruiken. Een gezonde levensstijl biedt voldoende rust en regelmaat. In onze hectische maatschappij komen we daar vaak niet aan toe. Toch kan iets meer tijd en vooral aandacht voor uzelf en uw manier van leven wonderen doen voor uw gezondheid. Hier zijn wat eenvoudige tips:

• Eet en drink rustig en matig.
• Vermijd stress en drukte zoveel mogelijk.
• Zorg elke dag voor één moment waarop u volledig tot rust komt.
• Beweeg elke dag, bij voorkeur in de buitenlucht.
• Breng regelmaat aan in uw dag- en nachtritme.

Met deze eenvoudige aanwijzingen kunt u veel doen voor uw welzijn. Bovendien zijn ze een geweldige ondersteuning bij uw acupunctuurbehandeling!
