Spring is a season of vitality and growth.

As the weather gradually warms up, people who have become accustomed to the cold may feel fatigued and drowsy in warmer temperatures.

No matter how much you sleep, it never seems enough, and you may find yourself listless throughout the day.

This is what we refer to as “spring drowsiness.”

“Spring drowsiness” isn't a disease, but it could be an early sign of suboptimal health.

Persistent “spring drowsiness” might lead to conditions such as lung yin deficiency, lung dryness and heat, phlegm-dampness, hyperactivity of liver yang, or kidney and liver yin deficiency.

While “spring drowsiness” isn't a disease, it shouldn't be taken lightly. How can you combat “spring drowsiness”?

Have a cup of Tea to refresh your mind.

Spring is the perfect time for Drinking Tea. Tea enthusiasts generally know that they should drink more tea during this season to stay alert and refreshed.

In Traditional Chinese medicine, it's believed that drinking Green Tea in spring helps dispel the cold accumulated in the body during winter.

The delicate fragrance of tea not only invigorates the mind but also promotes the generation of yang qi in the body, helping to alleviate “spring drowsiness” to some extent.

Jasmine tea is also an excellent choice in spring.

Jasmine tea has a delicate aroma that is pleasant and soothing. Drinking it in spring can help lift your spirits, relieve drowsiness, regulate digestion, and promote beauty.

Chrysanthemum tea is another good option. Chrysanthemum has properties that nourish and soothe the liver, and it's especially suitable for consumption in spring.

Additionally, chrysanthemum can dispel evil influences, reduce internal heat, and alleviate sore throat and swelling. It effectively eliminates toxins accumulated in the body. Adding mint, which has refreshing properties, to chrysanthemum tea can enhance its effects.

Combining Tea with Exercise is Even More Effective

In addition to drinking tea, exercise is one of the best methods for alleviating “spring drowsiness.”

Some people may feel too tired to exercise, not realizing that inactivity is detrimental to the cultivation of yang qi in the body.

Moderate sweating can improve metabolic functions, aiding blood circulation and qi flow, thereby alleviating spring drowsiness.

To overcome “spring drowsiness,” start moving more, drink more tea, and sleep less. Welcome each day with abundant energy!
