Eczema is a common dermatitis in summer. Most patients will have rashes or blisters. In severe cases, there will be itching, difficulty sleeping, exudation of lesions and other symptoms. However, due to its complicated etiology, it is difficult to cure. Once the body can't adapt to the external weather changes, it is easy to relapse and make people uncomfortable! Chinese medicine suggests that besides drug conditioning, drinking health tea in summer can also reduce the recurrence rate of eczema.

It's too hot in summer, and I often go in and out of air-conditioned rooms, so my body has no time to adapt to temperature changes, which is easy to induce eczema. Chinese medicine suggests that auxiliary health tea can improve the preventive effect. (Photography/Huang Zhiwen) Air-conditioned rooms come in and out, and eczema increases by 20% in summer.

Traditional Chinese medicine classifies eczema as damp-heat syndrome, which often occurs at the time of seasonal change, but more and more people have recurrent attacks in hot summer. Huang, deputy secretary-general of the National Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctors of the Republic of China, said that the summer weather in Taiwan Province Province is hot and humid, and the human body's response to temperature and humidity is just like a scientific experiment. It will be particularly severe when it is hot, and it is easy to sweat skin and induce eczema.

In addition, modern people are stressed, sleep less and get angry easily. In summer, they always go to the air-conditioned place to blow cold air after getting warm all over outdoors, so their bodies can't adapt to the instantaneous temperature change, and the blood circulation is not smooth, so it is not easy to dissipate heat in the body, the capillaries are incompatible with the camp, and the skin resistance drops, which leads to the recurrence of eczema. Dr. Huang estimates that the proportion of patients who frequently go in and out of air-conditioned rooms in summer and have no time to recuperate is about 20% to 30% higher than usual.

It is faster to bid farewell to eczema by using summer tea as an auxiliary drug therapy.

Eczema in summer is related to hot and humid climate. In order to prevent the onset, Dr. Huang suggested that eczema patients should be treated according to their physical manifestations, such as anemia, high body temperature, thirst, strong internal heat, etc., and with prescription drugs to regulate their physique and tea to relieve summer heat and reduce fire, so as to improve the health care effect.
