In midsummer, we should first pay attention to strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness. Because dampness is a major evil in summer, and the spleen and stomach function is low in summer, people often have symptoms such as poor appetite, diarrhea, and white greasy tongue coating, so they should often take something that strengthens the spleen and promotes dampness. Generally, products with spleen strengthening, fragrance and dampness removing should be selected, such as Pogostemon rugosa and Eupatorium odoratum. It is very beneficial for us to get rid of dampness and cool down. At the same time, we should pay attention to clearing away heat and relieving summer heat in midsummer. At this time, due to the high temperature, intense summer heat and strong human heart fire, some drugs with the functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials, clearing away heart fire, such as sour horn, mint, honeysuckle and forsythia are often used to dispel summer heat. It is very important for everyone to pay attention to the work of eliminating dampness.
Attention should also be paid to nourishing lung and kidney in midsummer. First of all, 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 we should pay attention to nourishing the yin of lung and kidney. We can choose Lycium barbarum, Radix Rehmanniae, Lily, Mulberry and drugs that collect lung qi with acid, such as Schisandra chinensis, which can prevent excessive sweating and damage body fluid, and is very beneficial to our visceral health. At the same time, in midsummer, the temperature is high, people sweat more and have poor appetite. Of course, if "light" means eating healthier, not eating too greasy food, eating more fruits and drinking more water, it still makes sense. It is important for human body to adapt to the changes of natural environment and seasonal climate, and it is also important to pay attention to drinking more water. At the same time, a light diet is something you can't miss.
