1. Does taking Chinese medicine in the summer heat cause fire? The view that taking Chinese medicine in summer will cause fire is biased. There are cold, hot, warm and cool Chinese medicines, some of which are warming, some of which are cooling, some of which are diaphoretic, and some of which can calm yin and yang. There are many herbal remedies suitable for summer, such as Sang Ju Drink, Sang Ju Drink, and Wu Wei Disinfectant Drink, which can clear heat and lower fire, eliminate summer heat, and produce body fluid, and not only will they not get on fire, but they can treat fire. For some paralysis patients, their symptoms are mostly caused by wind, cold, dampness and heat attacking the joints, and most of them will be relieved in summer. This will speed up the flow of fluid and allow dampness to escape with the flow of fluid. Some doctors also believe that it is inappropriate to take tonics in summer, but patients with Yang or Qi deficiency can take tonics under the guidance of a doctor. It can be said that the key to take tonics is based on the patient’s constitution, the season can only be used as a reference factor, patients can increase the amount of medication according to the season under the guidance of the doctor. 2, low-temperature short-term storage bloated bag tasteless do not serve hospital or pharmacy decoction of Chinese medicine is generally vacuum sealed packaging, preservation time is relatively long, but the summer temperature is relatively high, it is best to put the liquid in the refrigerator storage, preservation time should not exceed seven days, can not be convenient to ask someone to decoction of multiple bags of Chinese medicine to take home slowly take. If the bag of herbal medicine bulges, or if the herbal medicine becomes tasteless or bubbly, the herbal medicine is likely to have deteriorated and should not be taken. TCM doctors remind patients who decoct their own medicine that a medicine is usually decocted twice a day (once in the morning and again in the evening). However, you can no longer decoct medicine in this way in summer, but should decoct once and then add water to decoct a second dose to be taken in the evening. The decoction should be stored in the refrigerator at low temperature in time and should be heated before drinking, and decocting your own herbal soup is generally not recommended to be taken overnight.
