🌱 The core features of Spring Begins
The Great Awakening
🌅 Yang Energy Ascends: Winter dormancy ends + Spring vitality emerges = “Nature’s Grand Revival”
🌿 Liver Season Begins: Wood element activates, liver qi rises and spreads throughout body
Body Alert Points

🤧 Spring allergies emerge: pollen and wind-borne pathogens challenge immune system

🍃 The Golden Rules of Traditional Chinese Medicine for Health Preservation
▶️ Diet Three Should-be and Three Taboos
Should Eat:
Spring greens and sprouts 🌱 (leeks, spinach, bean sprouts – support liver’s upward energy)
Sweet and mild foods 🍯 (dates, yams, honey – nourish spleen and harmonize liver)
Pungent herbs in moderation 🧅 (scallions, ginger – help yang qi rise and disperse)
Should Avoid:
Sour and astringent foods 🍋 (contract liver qi when it needs to spread freely)
Heavy greasy foods 🍔 (burden spleen and liver during activation phase)
Excessive spicy foods 🌶️ (overstimulate rising liver yang causing anger and headaches)
