Season |
Examples of Cautions |
Some Methods to Use |
Spring |
Do not simply use herbs to overcome stagnation. If there is no sign of disease, there is no need to take any medicine |
When a disease is coming on, extinguish [or dispel] wind, harmonize qi, cool the diaphragm |
Summer |
Avoid draining yin qi, either by laxatives that induce diarrhea or by draining methods of acupuncture or moxibustion |
Ingest warm substances during the summer solstice, and take tonics for the kidneys |
Autumn |
Avoid using dispersing therapies such as emetics or strong diaphoretics |
use acupuncture/moxibustion and some herbal decoctions or powders which assist the patient’s yang qi |
Winter |
Warm diaphoretics should not be used excessively |
Dispel existing pathogens with emetics. Take a combination of tonic materials steeped in wine; dioscorea wine is also good |
