Summer, in Chinese medicine, is divided into summer and long summer. The time from the beginning of summer to the end of the sixth month of the lunar calendar is summer, and the main conflict of this season is summer heat. It is often this time when we talk about heat stroke. The temperature is so hot that dizziness, panic, irritability, thirst and other problems occur due to excessive sweating, and in severe cases, fainting. Long summer usually refers to the period in June of the lunar calendar. This time is the actual summer and summer festival, it is the time of increased rainfall, moisture diffusion. So the main gas at this time is wet, can also be called summer humidity. When summer dampness hurts people, it can cause mental discomfort, body fatigue, soreness and laziness, or vomiting, diarrhea, gastric distention, itchy skin, eczema, or joint pain and swelling. In short, wet is a particularly annoying guy! summer tea drink summer drink watermelon rind 30 grams, mung beans 15 grams, sugar appropriate amount Practice: 1, the outermost green watermelon rind peeled off, the red part of the inside is also peeled off, leaving only the middle white part.

This formula is only applicable to those with mild summer dampness (drowsiness around the body, soreness and laziness, poor appetite, drowsiness in the head if there is something wrapped with greasy moss), such as vomiting and diarrhea, which are serious conditions are not covered by this formula. In fact, I do not particularly advocate the use of some drugs to health care or prevent disease in the absence of disease. This is contrary to the tenets of Chinese medicine. So, whether it is summer heat or summer humidity, I suggest that we make more adjustments from life and diet. For example, the heat is too much, it is appropriate to increase the amount of water, small frequent drinks, you can also eat some seasonal fruits, such as prunes, watermelon, etc., both to replenish the water, but also to replenish the nutrition lost due to sweating, the cooling time on the air conditioning, fans. Just don’t do anything too much, it is important to grasp the degree. If the summer humidity is too strong, moisture is most likely to hurt the spleen, stomach and joints. Open the windows often, keep dry, so it is not easy to have joint disease. Eat lightly, do not overeat and binge drink, so as not to increase the burden on the spleen and stomach. Even if there is dampness, the spleen and stomach are not heavily burdened, so you will not get sick.
