Massage is beneficial, and taking a moderate afternoon nap can make the body feel lighter. In addition, it's important to maintain a low-salt diet, as excessive salt intake increases fluid retention; many people who experience heaviness or puffiness in the face are not slim. Certain therapeutic dishes can also be incorporated into meals, such as coix seed and red date porridge, ginseng and astragalus porridge, or corn silk, red date, and black bean porridge. These are especially suitable for spring health preservation, helping to boost qi, nourish blood, strengthen the spleen, protect the liver, clear heat, and eliminate dampness—resulting in a rosy complexion and vibrant energy. Patients are also advised to engage in appropriate daily exercise, as sweating helps expel dampness from the body.
