Be Careful of 3 Common Illnesses Around Guyu
Around the Guyu (Grain Rain) solar term, the weather becomes unpredictable, temperatures begin to rise, and rainfall increases. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that during this period, the liver is in excess while the spleen is weakened, and the body's digestive function is at its peak. Therefore, the Guyu season is the golden time for "spring tonification." However, it is crucial to be vigilant about preventing three common illnesses during this time:
First, the common cold. Although the weather is mostly sunny and warm around Guyu, mornings and evenings can still be chilly or changeable. Furthermore, there are significant temperature differences between the north and south, making people highly susceptible to colds. Therefore, when going out in the mornings and evenings, be sure to dress warmly and do not be careless.
Second, allergies. "The rain nurtures a hundred grains," and around Guyu, flowers begin to bloom one after another. During this time, people must guard against pollen allergies, allergic rhinitis, and allergic asthma. Those with a history of allergies should avoid contact with allergens and reduce outdoor activities.
Third, neuralgia. The period around Guyu is a time when neuralgia can occur, such as intercostal neuralgia, sciatica, and trigeminal neuralgia. If you develop neuralgia or have a relapse of a previous condition, it is essential to seek timely medical treatment. At the same time, pay attention to rest, avoid excessive mental strain, and prevent mental exhaustion.
