In summer, when your metabolism is at its peak, you can give your heart a boost with cordyceps and ganoderma. In fall, when the weather is dry, lily bulbs and apricots are good for the lungs. In winter, when bodily functions are at low ebb, cinnamon and flowery knotweed are an excellent tonic for the kidneys.
在生機盎然的春季要補肝，可以服用薏仁、伏苓、黨蔘；新陳代謝最旺盛的夏季，可以用冬蟲夏草、靈芝補心；燥氣盛行的秋天，可以用百合和杏仁補肺；生理功能處於抑制狀態的冬季，則以肉桂、首烏等藥材補腎。
