Spring weather goes between cold and hot without warning – it's not stable. People's bodies are slow to react after going through a long winter – they need time to adjust. If you start wearing less all of the sudden, it's particularly easy to get cold. So, you have to wear more for a little while. Fall is the exact opposite. If you want to be able to withstand the cold, you first have to improve your ability to resist it. Chinese medicine covers it all – in the fall, wearing less increases the body's power of resistance.
