In fact, the consumption in summer is the largest in all seasons of the year. With a lot of sweating, sweat will take away potassium from the body. Once potassium is lacking, you will be tired and paralyzed, and your mind will be clear but your body will not listen to you. This is a typical Chinese medicine "qi deficiency", and the body is excessively consumed by high temperature.
Therefore, in Guangdong, Fujian and other places where the seasons are like summer, soup is especially needed in summer, just to make up for the higher consumption than people in other areas. They often make up for the summer deficit in time with ginseng such as American ginseng and Adenophora adenophora, which is a common way to keep fit in summer.
Huangdi Neijing said: "In Xia Zhishi in spring, the yang is abundant outside and deficient inside, and saints nourish the yang in spring and summer." The so-called "nourishing yang in spring and summer" means to maintain and protect the yang in summer, which is the classic theoretical basis for summer recuperation.
However, you can't rely on a single ginseng to strengthen yang and replenish qi. Throughout the ages, only one "Shen Du Decoction" only uses ginseng, and it is only used for critical cases of heart failure. Once the heart recovers, it will stop beating. Because ginseng is invigorating qi, simply invigorating qi is tantamount to strengthening seedlings and exhausting fish.
A living person is a burning candle. The flame above is yang, and the candle below is yin blood. If you want the flame to be strong and burn for a long time, you must not just light the flame, which will accelerate the consumption of candles. Ginseng is used alone to light a flame.
If ginseng and the medicine for nourishing yin and blood are used at the same time, it means that the candle is enlarged and the flame is lit, so there is no problem of running out of candles in advance, and a candle whose body is enlarged by the medicine for nourishing yin and blood will burn a bigger flame. It is for this reason that whenever ginseng is used, it should be combined with drugs for nourishing yin and blood, especially when it needs to be taken for a long time, instead of just being used for first aid like "Shen Du Decoction" or "Shengmai Drink".
Ginseng is the "top spot" in qi-invigorating drugs, which can heat up more than other drugs. So, what kind of medicine for nourishing yin and enriching blood can be as strong as ginseng? In order to prevent the flame from burning too fast, and the candle is in short supply? It must also be the "top spot" for nourishing yin and enriching blood. This is Ejiao.
First of all, because Ejiao enters the kidney meridian, the kidney of traditional Chinese medicine is equivalent to the root of a big tree. The medicine that enters the kidney meridian supplements the body, which is equivalent to supplementing nutrition to the tree from the root. It is the best tonic among all tonics.
Secondly, Ejiao is a "product of flesh and blood" and donkeys are mammals. Ejiao is much closer to human species and plant species. When it is transformed into human body, it provides far less nutrients than plant medicine, and it has the effect of "receiving everything according to the order".
Third, whether it is to consolidate the foundation of the body or to make candles more flame-resistant, it is necessary to use dense and greasy products. In this respect, Ejiao is far superior to other drugs for nourishing yin and enriching blood.
However, for the strength of ginseng, a prominent flame, the burning time of the flame cannot be guaranteed unless it is rich in heavy fuel. This is what Chinese medicine calls "point yin into yang" or "point yin into qi", which means that the yin of fuel can be transformed into the yang of flame, and the strength of ginseng is enough to transform into rich and heavy Ejiao.
It can be explained that there is ginseng in the flame, so there is no need to worry about the greasy problem of Ejiao; With the thick donkey-hide gelatin as the bottom, ginseng will not have the problem of fishing if it catches fire.
There are many kinds of ginseng, all of which are hot and dry and easy to get angry. Only one kind of ginseng is peaceful and won't get angry. This is American ginseng, a cool product, which not only has no problem of getting angry, but also has the ability of nourishing yin, so it is the only ginseng that can replenish qi and nourish yin.
More importantly, American ginseng enters the heart, lung and kidney meridians, and besides entering the kidney meridians, it can also be supplemented from the foundation of the body like Ejiao. Entering the heart meridian is the reason why summer is used as a seasonal medicine, because in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, summer is dominated by the heart, and people will be upset, sweaty, tired from sweating and restless in sleep. These are all heart problems of traditional Chinese medicine.
American ginseng supplements the heart and yin, and the heart and yin complement each other. If the body's fixation function is improved, it will sweat less and the fatigue caused by heat consumption will be reduced. When the heart and yin are supplemented, people will feel at ease, and anxiety and insomnia will be alleviated. This is the same effect of American ginseng with deficiency of both qi and yin as Ejiao with nourishing yin.
