The Chinese Solar Term —- ‘Gu Yu’, ‘Grain Rain’.  It is the last Chinese solar Term in Spring. It falls on 19/04/2024. Crops grow due to plentiful rainfall from then on. Temperature goes up more quickly than other time of Spring. The amount of rainfall and higher temperature are very important for crops growth. After this day, the duckweed starts to grow after rainfall, the cuckoo starts to sing and hoopoe starts to appear on mulberry tree.

For general health preservation, during this period of time, digestive system starts to get stronger again and the Heart Qi, energy in heart meridians, starts to get stronger gradually. So, it’s very important to nourish and invigorate Spleen Qi, energy in spleen meridians.
