What traditional Chinese medicine should you drink for health preservation in summer?
As the weather gets hotter and hotter, in summer, many people will find themselves thirsty, lazy and often need to drink water, but they still can't solve the fundamental problem. What is the reason?

This is because the loss of body fluid will directly affect the balance of yin and yang. If the body is tired for a long time and the lost body fluids are not replenished in time, it will affect the health of the body.

In summer, the natural environment is hot and it is easy to consume body fluids. If there is less body fluid, you will feel thirsty.

At the same time, "eat hot air", a lot of sweating will make the gas lose, so I feel mentally exhausted, tired and sleepy all day, and my elderly friends will feel stronger.

"Sweat is the fluid of the heart", hyperhidrosis will further damage the heart qi, congestion, and blood will easily become sticky, thus causing "three highs" symptoms. Therefore, summer is also the high incidence season of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Here, we recommend "American ginseng" with the same origin of medicine and food, which is sweet and cool in nature, invigorating qi and nourishing yin, clearing away heat and promoting fluid production. It can effectively regulate the problems of qi deficiency fatigue and yin deficiency, and has a very good effect of promoting fluid production. It is a tonic that is very suitable for summer.

Using American ginseng is like opening the "sweet spring" in the body, constantly replenishing the body fluid energy, and making people get rid of mental fatigue, fatigue, dry mouth, thirst and other symptoms caused by deficiency of both qi and yin. The biggest advantage of American ginseng is that it can replenish deficiency and not get angry.

People with qi deficiency and weakness, spontaneous sweating and night sweats, and five upset and hot. Some people have a bad appetite in summer, so they can use American ginseng for tonic.

How to take it: Slice 3 grams of American ginseng or ginseng, put it in a water cup, add appropriate amount of boiling water, cook for about 5 minutes with slow fire, drink until it is tasteless, and finally eat the decoction pieces.

In addition, when diabetic patients have symptoms such as emaciation, thirst and fatigue, they can also be relieved by soaking American ginseng, which can also help lower blood sugar; People with coronary heart disease, arrhythmia and hyperlipidemia can also recuperate by soaking American ginseng.

In addition, due to the pressure of work or life and the hot weather in summer, many people have the problem of poor sleep quality. In this case, we can also choose to take a little American ginseng properly, which can clear away heat and dry dampness and effectively regulate our sleep state.

It is also good to cook porridge with American ginseng. Here, I recommend another American ginseng rice porridge to you.

Ingredients: 6 grams of American ginseng, 3 grams of Ophiopogon japonicus, 5 grams of reed rhizome and 30 grams of rice.

Practice: First, decoct Ophiopogon japonicus and Phragmites communis in water, remove residues and take 500 ml of juice, then add rice to cook porridge. After the porridge is cooked, add American ginseng and cook it together. After the porridge is cooked, it can be eaten.

American ginseng, Ophiopogon japonicus and Phragmites communis all have the function of nourishing yin and promoting fluid production. Reed can also stop vomiting and diuresis, and has a good effect on vomiting caused by fever, polydipsia and stomach heat.

Drinking this kind of porridge often in summer can benefit qi and nourish yin, clear away heat and regulate stomach, promote fluid production and quench thirst, not only make you moist all summer, but also make you full of vigor and vitality and enjoy the charm of summer with peace of mind.

1 avoid drinking tea

Because tea contains a lot of tannic acid, it will destroy the effective components in American ginseng. You must take American ginseng for 2-3 days before drinking tea, and it is best not to drink coffee. Coffee also has a certain effect on American ginseng.

Avoid eating radishes within 24 hours.

American ginseng is invigorating qi (warming up vitality), while white radish is discouraged (clearing away heat and toxic materials, cooling down, etc.). These two foods are contradictory, and from the pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine, white radish can not be eaten with American ginseng, but it is similar to many tonics.

3 Beware of adverse reactions

Some people will have chills, hypothermia, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms after taking American ginseng; Some will have dysmenorrhea and delayed menstruation.

Others will have allergic reactions, and the upper and lower limbs will be scattered with blisters of different sizes, which will cause abnormal itching. Blisters can be absorbed and subsided by themselves after drug withdrawal.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that American ginseng is cold, so it should be beneficial to qi and yin.

If the body has fever, such as dry mouth, irritability, palm fever, redness, frequent fatigue, etc., the use of American ginseng tonic can achieve the purpose of conditioning.

On the other hand, if you cough with phlegm, saliva or edema, you should avoid taking American ginseng, otherwise it will aggravate your condition. In addition, "don't make up." If you are not unwell, don't take American ginseng buccal tablets often.
