You always feel listless and inefficient in spring, but you just don't like the refreshing tea that needs to be brewed every day. What should I do? It doesn't matter. You can make your own sachet and wear it on your body or beside your desk every day.
Recommendation for making sachets simply: Take 3 grams of Borneolum Syntheticum and Camphor, 0/5 grams of Alpinia officinarum/KLOC-and 30 grams of Cinnamomum cassia, mix and mash these four Chinese medicines, sew the cloth for making sachets into small bags, and then put them into the prepared medicine.

It is equivalent to the junction of 1/3 and 1/3 in the front of the palm. Massage time is best before going to bed every night.

Three common mistakes in refreshing the mind.
There are many incorrect refreshing methods in life, which can really restore our energy to a certain extent, but if we use these methods to drive away fatigue for a long time, what effect will it have?
1 refresh yourself with alcohol and tobacco.
There is no denying that alcohol and tobacco can refresh you. The main mechanism is to stimulate the cerebral cortex through some chemicals in tobacco and alcohol, so that the brain remains excited. It may be ok occasionally, but it is wrong to regard it as a way to eliminate troubles and fatigue for a long time. Smoking and drinking for a long time will not only bring great harm to your body, but also reduce your immunity, distract your energy and make you more prone to fatigue.
As long as you sleep more, you will feel good.
Spring is not because people sleep longer in spring, but because they can't adapt to climate change at once. People's sleep time is scientific. Adults sleep about 8- 10 hours a day. If they sleep too long, the cerebral cortex will be in a state of inhibition. I can't seem to sleep, but my mind is in a daze.
The best advice is that you get up early to exercise every day. The temperature is suitable in spring, suitable for getting up early. After getting exercise, you can get rid of some inertia, improve your immunity and feel refreshed.
Coke and coffee drinks are more effective for refreshing.
Cola coffee contains caffeine, which can refresh the mind and keep people excited. But for different people, cola coffee drinks have different effects. For those who need to concentrate, it can refresh themselves. For those who have complicated jobs, they can feel excited at first, but they will feel tired after a while. In addition, women who often drink cola can also lead to osteoporosis, heart and liver diseases, which need to be paid attention to.
