In summer, I sweat a lot, and I sweat a lot after exercise. I often feel my throat is dry and thirsty, but after drinking a lot of cold drinks or boiled water, I feel that my gastric juice is diluted and I can't afford to eat. At this time, we might as well try the Chinese medicine "sports drink" and bring a pot of American ginseng, Dendrobium and Ophiopogon japonicus tea, which can clear away heat and replenish qi, promote fluid production to quench thirst, strengthen the spleen and stimulate appetite, so that people can quickly recover their physical strength, quench thirst and stimulate appetite.

Specifically: 30g of American ginseng, 20g of Dendrobium, 0/5g of Ophiopogon japonicus, 6g of Schisandra chinensis and 30g of Chinese yam. Slice American ginseng, wash Dendrobium, Ophiopogon japonicus, Schisandra chinensis and yam. Put all the above materials into a health pot or soup pot, and add a proper amount of water. After the pot is boiled, it can be boiled for 15 minutes. After cooling, use tea instead of drinking.

During exercise, water is continuously lost, and gas is lost with sweat, resulting in great consumption. The human body is in a state of deficiency of both qi and yin, which is the cause of special fatigue after summer exercise. Ginseng has a good effect on eliminating fatigue and restoring physical strength, but it is mostly warm and helps fire. Among ginseng drugs for invigorating qi and refreshing, the main drug of this herbal tea is American ginseng, which is only cold in nature and has the effect of nourishing yin and promoting fluid production. Using it to make tea or boil water is the best health drink after exercise or labor in summer, and it is suitable for people with poor energy, dry mouth, loss of appetite and irritability. Dendrobium nobile is known as "the treasure of nourishing yin" and "the best product of promoting fluid production". Its taste is sweet and slightly cold, which can benefit the stomach, promote fluid production, nourish yin and clear heat, and is especially suitable for people with dry stomach, body fluid injury, thirst and irritability, and less food and retching. Ophiopogon japonicus is sweet and slightly cold. Entering the lung and stomach meridian can promote fluid production, moisten the lung, nourish yin and quench thirst. Schisandra chinensis is warm and sour, and belongs to lung, heart and kidney meridians. Sour taste is the main source, so it can replenish qi, astringe sweat, promote fluid production and astringe astringency. The medicine combination of Ophiopogon japonicus and Schisandra chinensis is a famous prescription "Shengmai Powder", which is often used to treat symptoms such as sweating collapse, palpitation and fatigue, sweating and thirst in midsummer. Can accelerate the recovery of the human body. Hu Aishan is flat in nature and sweet in taste, and enters the three meridians of lung, spleen and kidney. It can benefit qi and nourish yin, strengthen spleen and lung, nourish kidney and replenish essence, and is good at treating spleen and stomach weakness, mental fatigue and loss of appetite.

The combination of various medicines has the effects of invigorating qi, refreshing mind, astringing sweat, promoting fluid production, invigorating spleen and regulating stomach, and relieving summer heat and vexation. ▲
