Rain gives birth to a hundred grains, which is the meaning of the valley rain solar term. After the valley rain, the precipitation increased, and the air humidity increased. Therefore, in order to prevent the "dampness evil" from hurting the body, it is particularly important to dispel dampness in the Guyu solar term.
In this issue, we specially invite Ding Xueying, a practicing traditional Chinese medicine physician from Huqing Yutang in Hangzhou, to teach you how to maintain health in the rainy season.

In addition, traditional Chinese medicine believes that dampness passes through the spleen, and dampness should be removed from the spleen.
For adults, the Yinling Spring acupoint is the combined acupoint of the spleen meridian, and the effect of strengthening the spleen and dispelling dampness can be achieved by massaging this acupoint.
Yinling Spring Acupoint Location: This acupoint is located on the inner side of the lower leg of the human body, in the depression of the inner tibia below the knee.
Massage essentials: Massage the Yinling Spring acupoints of the left and right legs 80 times each time, once in the morning and once in the evening, and it is advisable to feel soreness at the acupoints.
In children, if dampness is trapped in the spleen, there will be signs of loss of appetite.
Dr. Ding said that for children, we can use pediatric massage to achieve the effect of strengthening the spleen and removing dampness.
Operation essentials: When operating, parents can cooperate with talcum powder and other substances to do rotary thrust method on the child's thumb thread (rotate and push in a clockwise direction). But the force should be gentle and the movements should be brisk.
The valley rain is a good season, and it is the right time to maintain health, and a healthy life starts today.
