Damp heat constitution autumn health:
Mental health: ensure sleep and let the mind rest.
Don't stay up late, and ensure the sleep time and quality, which is very important for alleviating and improving damp heat constitution. Often staying up late, the tongue coating is yellow and thick, which is the image of damp heat; After a good sleep, the thick moss recedes, because the damp heat has been removed, which shows that a good sleep has the effect of eliminating dampness and clearing heat. Good sleep makes people feel refreshed and smooth, so there is a saying that "the beauty of a woman comes from sleep." People in damp heat constitution are often irritable, nervous, anxious and depressed, so we should pay attention to nourishing the spirit, because quietness can produce water and clear away heat, and quietness helps to make the liver and gallbladder feel comfortable. How to rest your mind? First, practice deep breathing and breathe deeply into the lower abdomen; Second, listen to smooth, melodious, soothing and calm music; The third is to practice yoga, Qigong, Tai Ji Chuan and stretch elegant dance.
Daily life: avoid damp heat and relax joints.
Try to avoid working and living in a hot and humid environment for a long time. Humid environment can be improved by air conditioning. People in damp heat constitution are particularly susceptible to skin infections. It is best to wear clothes made of natural fibers, cotton, hemp and silk, especially underwear, and don't wear tight clothes.
Exercise pays attention to stretching the joints of bones and muscles, increasing the flexibility of the body and making the joints as soft as possible. Because the joints of bones and muscles are stiff and stagnant, it is not conducive to the relief of liver and gallbladder, which will aggravate irritability, tension and anxiety.
Drug treatment: Appropriate herbal tea will prevent intermediate diseases.
Damp heat constitution usually has a transitional constitution, which is more common in young adults. Because people in damp heat constitution, due to physical soreness, infection, excessive internal heat, inflammation, poor defecation and other reasons, often take drugs such as clearing away heat and toxic materials, eliminating dampness and diarrhea, and resisting infection. Therefore, damp heat constitution gradually differentiated after middle-aged and elderly people: some people may turn into yin deficiency constitution after eating diuretic and dampness-removing drugs; And some people slowly hurt the yang, becoming qi deficiency, yang deficiency or phlegm-dampness constitution. Damp heat constitution also existed in old age, but it was no longer the main one. Few people still give priority to damp heat constitution in their old age.

Generally speaking, drugs for eliminating damp-heat are not very peaceful and cannot be taken for a long time.

Don't eat when there is no fire. It's a three-point poison. These drugs are quite toxic.

Therefore, if the digestion is still good in summer, you can drink more water or herbal tea to clear away heat and dampness, pay special attention to skin cleaning and prevent various inflammations. If the environment is humid and sultry, you can often use air conditioning. In autumn, especially when it is hot and dry in early autumn, eat more sweet and moist fruits, drink more rice porridge, and drink a small glass of light salt water or honey water every morning to relax the bowels. Doing more stretching exercises of muscles and joints in spring is good for the liver and gallbladder. It is not advisable to supplement more in winter.
