The first is to strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness. Humidity is a great scourge in summer. In addition, the spleen and stomach function is low in summer, so people often feel poor appetite, diarrhea, white greasy tongue coating and other symptoms. Therefore, we should always eat something that strengthens the spleen and promotes diuresis. Generally, products with the functions of invigorating spleen, aromatizing and eliminating dampness, lightly infiltrating and promoting diuresis are selected, such as Pogostemon rugosa, lotus seeds and Eupatorium odoratum.

The second is to clear away heat and relieve summer heat. In summer, the temperature is high, the summer heat is evil and people's hearts are strong. Therefore, some drugs with the functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials, clearing away heart-fire and purging fire are often used to dispel summer heat, such as chrysanthemum, mint, honeysuckle, forsythia, lotus leaf and so on.

The third is to nourish the lungs and kidneys. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that according to the law of five elements, the heart is full of fire in summer, and the lung and kidney are weak, so it is necessary to pay attention to nourishing the yin of the lung and kidney. You can choose Lycium barbarum, Radix Rehmanniae, Lily, Mulberry, and drugs that use acid to collect lung qi, such as Schisandra chinensis, to prevent excessive sweating and damage body fluid.

The fourth is the treatment of winter diseases in summer. The so-called treatment of winter diseases in summer means that the human body and the outside world are full of yang in summer, and some diseases that are prone to occur in winter are treated by oral Chinese medicine combined with acupuncture and other external treatments. Frostbite in winter can be prevented if fresh sesame flowers are used to wipe the places that are prone to frostbite; Applying ointment to acupoints in winter can treat asthma and rhinitis.

Yang maintenance way:

In Huangdi Neijing, it is clearly pointed out that "virtual evil is a thief's wind, and sometimes it is avoided", which means that it is particularly important to avoid the common cold that can make people sick in time.

The reason is that spring is the main trend. Although the common cold occurs all year round, it is mainly in spring. The surface of the earth is uneven, and the cold and hot are uneven, which forms the wind that comes and goes in a hurry. The wind is not only the messenger of green, but also the culprit of fallen leaves. It has always blessed mankind with two faces of meekness, kindness, violence and cruelty.
