The Twelve-Hour Wellness Guide: Bid Farewell to Period Pain, Reject the Yo-Yo Effect, and Easily Achieve Age-Defying Healthy Skin—A Wellness Manual for 'Her'

by Ma Shujun, Liu Jinfeng

Still hearing "girls should drink more warm water"?

Follow the rhythm of the twelve double-hours for wellness.

Lose weight without rebounding and maintain a perfectly proportioned figure.

Achieve a natural, glowing complexion and healthy, age-defying skin.

Nurture your beauty and your heart; say goodbye to internal "women's health issues."

A woman's life often seems like a constant struggle against various physiological issues:

Avoiding starches, improper fasting, or dieting without exercise leads to the yo-yo effect;

Delayed periods, excruciating cramps, or prolonged bleeding after the cycle ends—various gynecological issues bring endless frustration...

For a woman to have a healthy lifestyle, two critical factors are diet and routine. Since each organ in the body has its own active period, our daily routine should align with these cycles for proper regularity.

★ The Twelve Double-Hours (Shichen): Each has its own way of wellness; the remedy must fit the time.

Zi (11 PM - 1 AM) — Sleep; Chou (1 AM - 3 AM) — Liver; Yin (3 AM - 5 AM) — Lungs; Mao (5 AM - 7 AM) — Large Intestine

Chen (7 AM - 9 AM) — Stomach; Wu (11 AM - 1 PM) — Spleen; Wei (1 PM - 3 PM) — Heart; Si (9 AM - 11 AM) — Small Intestine

Shen (3 PM - 5 PM) — Bladder; You (5 PM - 7 PM) — Kidney; Xu (7 PM - 9 PM) — Emotions; Hai (9 PM - 11 PM) — Appearance

★ Wellness: Never Neglect Your Diet

Feeling depressed? Try a piece of chocolate.

Eat a slice of pear to moisten the lungs for a clear, beautiful voice.

An elixir for longevity: Tremella (snow fungus) is the finest among fungi.

Want to nourish and replenish blood? Try a bowl of Angelica Mutton Soup.

★ Drawing Wisdom from the Ancients: Preventing Disease and Achieving Optimal Health

From the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon: "When a person lies down, blood returns to the liver... the liver receives blood to enable vision, the feet receive blood to enable walking, the palms receive blood to enable gripping, and the fingers receive blood to enable grasping."

→ Our ability to see, walk, and grasp is inextricably linked to the liver and blood. To maintain radiant skin and a charming temperament, one needs "rest." Lying down for quality sleep allows the liver to receive the best nourishment.

From the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon: "The large intestine is the official of transmission; transformations originate there."

→ In modern society, constipation is rampant across all ages. Every morning is a struggle. If waste and food residue are not excreted promptly, they ferment in the large intestine, producing toxins and odors—like a trash can that is never emptied. For those with chronic constipation, unreleased toxins are enough to cause edema and obesity symptoms.

Book Highlights:

There are twelve months in a year and twelve double-hours in a day; the internal organs possess their own divine order. For women, paying attention to the twelve-shichen wellness method is especially vital. Starting from daily life, this book helps female readers interpret the wellness wisdom within the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon. The content focuses on women's beauty, body sculpting, and psychological health, providing comprehensive and specific guidance on wellness methods for women.
