In summer, cold and dampness can be expelled from the body through oral administration of proprietary Chinese medicines or moxibustion. For example, the heat produced by moxibustion can play the role of warming the meridians and dispersing cold, strengthening the spleen and dispelling dampness. Patients can choose Guanyuan, Ashigaru, Sanyinjiao, Spleen Yu and other acupuncture points for moxibustion to achieve the effect of supporting positive qi, dredging the meridians and channels, dispersing cold and removing dampness.
For patients who have cold and dampness in their bodies, they can also be identified according to their symptoms and can choose Chinese medicines such as Radix Rehmanniae Pills to expel cold and remove dampness. Pill consists of Chinese medicines such as Radix Polygoni Multiflori, Radix Codonopsis Pilosulae, Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae, etc. It has the effect of warming the middle part of the body and strengthening the spleen, and is used to alleviate the cold pain in the epigastrium and abdomen caused by cold-dampness obstruction (cold pain in the stomach and abdomen), cold limbs and loose stools (loose feces that are thin and not shaped), and tiredness.
In addition, in the summer, you should pay attention to diet, do not eat cold and stimulating food, so as not to aggravate the body’s cold-dampness, but also increase the exercise, which helps to expel the cold-dampness of the evil.
It should be noted that proprietary Chinese medicines must be taken after the identification of Chinese medicine, not blindly self-medication. Moxibustion should be operated by a professional doctor in a formal medical institution.
