Twelve-hour regimen

Chou and Yin hours (1 to 5 o'clock)

This is the time when the body's essence and energy are generated. If you suffer from insomnia at this time, you can wrap yourself in a quilt, sit on the bed, and exhale a breath or two to expel the turbid air in your body. Then rub your hands together to warm them up, rub the sides of your nose, and use the warm hands to warm your eyes 35 times. Then roll both ears forward and backward 35 times respectively.

Mao time (5-7 o'clock)

The morning light could already be seen. When you get up, choose appropriate clothes according to the temperature of the climate. After getting up, you can sit under a bright window and drink a glass of boiled water instead of tea. Combing your hair more than a hundred times can dispel wind and heat, improve eyesight and relieve brain heat.

Chen and Si hours (7 to 11 o'clock)

These two hours can be used to read books and newspapers, do housework, or take a walk in the park to appreciate the flowers and birds. And enjoy this time happily, and don't get angry over trivial matters. After returning to the room, you should close your eyes and relax, or click your teeth and swallow saliva dozens of times.

Noon (11:00-13:00)

At this time, you should eat according to your appetite and don't force yourself. Eat a good lunch, make it as rich and complete as possible. Eating well here does not necessarily mean eating delicacies from land and sea, but eating processed food and not eating raw, cold or hard food.

Noon (13:00-15:00)

It is best to take a short nap at this time. After waking up, you can read, write, play the piano, invite friends to chat, or go out for a walk to relax yourself and don't work too hard.

Shen time (15:00-17:00)

You can eat some snacks or fruits at this time. This is also afternoon tea time for office workers, and it is also a good opportunity to read and paint.

You Hour (17:00-19:00)

It should be time for dinner now, but don't eat too late or too full. You can drink less alcohol but don't get drunk.

Xu time (19:00-21:00)

At this time, you can soak your feet in hot water, which can reduce heat, promote blood circulation and remove dampness. And gargling with herbal tea can remove food residues and toxic heat. You can read for a while before going to bed, but not for too long, otherwise it will damage your eyes. You cannot think too much at this time, because thinking too much will cause the heart fire to rise, causing insufficient kidney water, easily leading to disharmony between the heart and kidney, and prone to sexual dysfunction.

Hai and Zi hours (21:00 to 1:00)

You should fall asleep peacefully at this time to maintain your vitality. When sleeping, lie on your side with one foot bent and placed on top of the other. To calm yourself down, don't think about anything. Only when your mind is at peace can you fall asleep peacefully. This way, you can have a free mind and fall asleep peacefully, which is the magic weapon to regulate your mind and nourish your energy.
