According to the astronomical calendar of China, the solar term "Summer solstice" will be ushered in at 6: 34 on June 2 1 Sunday. When the hot summer comes, barbecue mode and sauna mode will be started in many places. The Central Meteorological Observatory predicts that from 19, there will be large-scale continuous high-temperature sunny and hot weather in Jiangnan and South China. The maximum daily temperature in most areas will be between 35 and 39 degrees Celsius, and some areas will reach 40 to 4 1 Celsius. The hot weather in these areas will last for more than 10 days. How to fight the heat in health care, let's take a look.
Drink "three-leaf tea" on the solstice in summer.
Yang Li, Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine: Chinese medicine believes that the yang of the human body reaches its peak during the summer solstice, and qi and blood rise, which is prone to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems and heatstroke. Therefore, it is very important to be healthy from summer to Sunday, and special attention should be paid to maintaining the heart and preventing heatstroke. Summer solstice nourishes the heart and removes heat. First of all, we recommend three-leaf tea from summer solstice, namely lotus leaf, bamboo leaf and mint leaf. During the summer solstice, you can use three leaves (3-5g each) to make tea, or you can choose one of them (lotus leaf and bamboo leaf 5- 10g, mint leaf 5g), which has very good effects of clearing away heat, nourishing heart and relieving summer heat. People who find it difficult to accept bitter tea can use mung bean watermelon drink instead, that is, add small pieces of fresh watermelon to the cooked mung bean soup.
When the summer solstice comes, the qi and blood of the human body will rise to the head, and many people will feel dizzy. For people with fragile cerebrovascular diseases, the risk of cerebrovascular rupture is greater from summer to around, so it is necessary to reduce qi appropriately. A simple way is to cook soup with celery and radish. People with insufficient spirit will have symptoms of palpitation, shortness of breath and fatigue if they sweat more. It is suggested that such people start drinking American ginseng and Ophiopogon japonicus tea from summer to Sunday. The specific method is to take 3 grams of American ginseng and 5 grams of Ophiopogon japonicus every day, and replace tea with water, but this kind of tea is only suitable for people with insufficient heart. Special reminder, eat less hot food such as eel and mutton in summer, especially drink less or not.
The most suitable air conditioner is 26℃
Director Zou Xianbiao, Department of Dermatology, 304 Hospital of the People's Liberation Army: The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor should not be too large, generally around 8℃ to 10℃. Although there may be hot weather above 38℃ in summer, the temperature is below 35℃ for most of the day, so the indoor temperature is about 26℃. And generally open the air conditioner for two or three hours, and open the window for air in about half an hour. There is no natural wind convection, the air is dirty and it is easy to get tired and have a headache. Besides, young friends should not covet to stay cool and sleep with the air conditioner on all night. At most, they switch it to night mode, as long as they can fall asleep cold, otherwise they will easily catch cold after falling asleep.
Summer is the right time to treat intractable skin diseases.
Zhang Huimin, director of dermatology department of Shuguang Hospital affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine: The period from summer to Sunday in beginning of autumn is the best time to treat winter diseases in summer, which is a good time to treat some intractable skin diseases.
Frostbite-doing vascular exercise
Frostbite is actively prevented and treated, and conditions go downhill in summer. Generally speaking, that winter can be effective. Clinically, he often prescribed some Chinese herbal medicines to patients according to syndrome differentiation, and then guided patients to go home and do vascular exercises for treatment. The method is simple, just like taking a sauna. Pour the decocted Chinese medicinal liquid into a warm water basin at about 40℃, and then prepare a basin of cold water at about 4℃. First, soak the affected part in hot water of traditional Chinese medicine for 5 minutes, then soak it in cold water for 5 minutes, and repeat the cold and hot alternately for 3-4 times, and finally end with hot bubble.
Psoriasis-medicated bath
Bath therapy has a good effect in treating psoriasis. Psoriasis patients had better stick to medicated bath in summer. Under the action of water pressure, the effective components of traditional Chinese medicine can better soften skin lesions, remove scales, improve skin blood circulation, facilitate the penetration of external drugs and enhance drug efficacy. Psoriasis is suitable for treating winter disease in summer in stable period, but it is not suitable for treating patients in acute attack period, otherwise irritating the skin will aggravate the condition. Psoriasis patients can take a medicated bath at home after prescribing medicinal powder in the hospital. The temperature should not be too high, generally not higher than the body temperature.
Dry hands and feet-soaked in cold vinegar for a long time
Chinese medicine believes that chapped hands and feet are caused by exogenous damp-heat, chronic dampness and toxin, blood deficiency and wind dryness. It can get twice the result with half the effort to prevent tinea manus and pedis by soaking in traditional Chinese medicine in summer. This is because the "dog days" in midsummer is the time when the human yang reaches its peak in a year. In order to adapt to the outside temperature, the pores of the whole body are opened and drained. At this time, the traditional Chinese medicine immersion makes the medicine penetrate into the skin, the role of the medicine is fully exerted, the evil of damp-heat is dispersed, the blood is smooth, and the skin is nourished, even in autumn and winter. The dermatology department of Shuguang Hospital followed the prescription of famous Chinese medicine practitioners and made the Chinese medicine 1 tinea potion, which can cure many patients with rough and chapped skin of hands and feet in winter. In dog days, patients can soak their sick hands and feet for half an hour, and ten days is a course of treatment.
When the yang is strong, it is more important to maintain the heart.
Chief Physician Wang Guowei of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine: People should also pay attention to the prevention of heart disease. The heart in traditional Chinese medicine is different from that in modern medicine. Western medicine believes that the heart is an important organ of the circulatory system, which promotes blood flow and sends oxygen and nutrients to the whole body for physiological use. Chinese medicine believes that "the heart is the master of the whole body, and all organs and bones listen to the heart, so it is the monarch." The god of mind is used by God, that is to say, the heart plays a leading role in all human organs, and people's spiritual thinking activities are related to the heart. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that man and nature are a unified whole, and the changes of the four seasons in nature are interrelated with the functional activities of the five internal organs of the human body. The heart corresponds to "summer", that is to say, in summer, the heart yang is the most vigorous, which also reminds people to adapt to the weather changes and pay attention to maintaining the heart.
