In the three months of summer, the atmosphere of heaven and earth is in traffic, and everything is thriving and a hundred flowers are blooming. Therefore, people should conform to the heaven and earth and keep in good health as follows: 1 Lie down at night and get up early; 2. insatiable greed; 3. Don't get angry; 4. If you have love outside. These points are actually nourishing the heart.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the heart is the official of the monarch and the god is outside. Heart governs yang and hates heat; The heart is happy; The heart governs the blood vessels and the mind. The heart begins to understand the tongue, its beauty is in the face, happiness is in the heart, and sweat is in the liquid.
Chinese medicine believes that summer qi corresponds to heart qi, and it is the official of the monarch and the master of the human body. Hot weather is more prone to heart fire, and a strong heart fire will cause various discomfort symptoms. Chinese medicine believes that "the tongue is the seedling of the heart". Once the heart fire is full, there will be obvious flushing on the tip of the tongue, sores on the tongue coating and frequent ulcers. Excessive heart fire can be divided into real fire and virtual fire.
Real fire
Most of them are caused by pathogenic heat, stagnation of phlegm-fire or emotional injury, and excessive polarization of five senses.
The main manifestations are recurrent mouth and tongue ulcers, dry mouth, short and red urine, constipation, flushing, fever, red tongue with yellow coating, slippery pulse, upset and irritable. Drugs such as coptis root and lotus seed heart can be used to clear the heart and purge the fire, and commonly used Chinese patent medicines include Daochi Pill and Huanglian Shangqing Pill.
deficiency fire
In summer, the body mobilized all the reserves of last winter, and the yin essence often became the weak link. Coupled with overwork, it consumed the sad yin blood. Once yin essence is insufficient, it is easy to appear yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity, which is manifested as upset, insomnia, fatigue, emaciation, low fever, night sweats, bitter taste and dry mouth, Huang Chi in urine, less tongue coating and rapid pulse. Such people need to nourish yin and clear away heat.
Drugs that are sweet or cold can be used, such as Radix Rehmanniae, Radix Ophiopogonis, Lily, Rhizoma Imperatae, Rhizoma Phragmitis and bamboo leaves. The food can be watermelon, melon, strawberry, tomato, mung bean and so on.
Acupoint massage to clear the heart
The specific method is:
Take the big order (in the middle of the horizontal stripes on the palm of the wrist) to clear away heat and purge fire.
Take Taixi point (the depression between the medial malleolus of the foot and the achilles tendon) to nourish the kidney yin, and the fire and water will extinguish themselves.
Take the Shenmen (palm and wrist with horizontal stripes on the foot side) to soothe the nerves and remove annoyance.
The above acupoints can be pressed with fingers, continuously or once for 3 minutes.
Heart is divided into heart yin and heart yang, so nourishing heart is divided into two aspects: nourishing heart yin and nourishing heart yang.
The heart is yang, which governs the yang, and summer is the season when the yang is strong, so many people think that it is easy to get angry in summer, but blindly clearing the fire will not only lead to more serious symptoms, but also hurt the yang.
People with insufficient heart yang will sweat more and get worse. Heart yang deficiency is the development of heart qi deficiency, which will lead to the weakening of heart function. The main manifestations are palpitation, chest tightness and shortness of breath, aggravation after exercise and spontaneous sweating.
If you don't pay attention to maintenance, you will be flustered and wheezing, and you will have symptoms such as chills, chest pain, holding your breath, pale and fat tongue, white and slippery fur and weak pulse. If people with heart-yang deficiency suffer from palpitation and shortness of breath due to excessive sweating, American ginseng (3-5g) can be soaked in water, or Shengmai Drink (composed of ginseng or codonopsis pilosula, Ophiopogon japonicus, Schisandra chinensis and other drugs) can be taken.
In summer, those with cold hands and feet due to yang deficiency can use Zhang Zhongjing's classic recipe Guizhi Glycyrrhiza Decoction, Guizhi 10g and Glycyrrhiza 5g to nourish yin and strengthen yang.
The principle of nourishing yang is three points for nourishing yang and seven points for nourishing yin. Tonifying yin can promote yang, and in love sweating in summer, yin and yang should be reconciled, so we must replenish the material basis of body fluid, otherwise yang will do great harm to yin, so we should balance yin and yang, if yin deficiency and yang deficiency lead to weakness. At this time, it is necessary to reduce fire and replenish heart yin. Mume is sour and can reduce fire and replenish heart yin. Sour plum soup, raw hawthorn 75g, dark plum 50g, licorice 6g, add 3 liters of water, soak for 12 hours (overnight), boil over high fire, stew over low fire for 2 hours, and add appropriate amount of rock sugar to taste.
Modern people have a serious disorder in work and rest, rich nightlife, staying up late for a long time, secretly consuming liver blood, and their minds are first affected by yin and blood deficiency. With the acceleration of the pace of life, people's pressure from all sides increases, which is easy to cause emotional tension and depression, and then depression will turn into heat over time, disturbing the mind, and insomnia will occur at night; Therefore, people often say that "the heart yin is often insufficient and the heart yang is often excessive". Heart yin is the easiest to consume in summer, so we should pay attention to nourishing heart yin.
Yin deficiency of the heart refers to the deficiency of yin and blood in the heart, which can not nourish the heart. Its main feature is yin deficiency and hyperactivity of yang, which is manifested by five annoyances (chest, heart, hands and feet), dry throat, insomnia, palpitation, red tongue and rapid pulse. In particular, insomnia caused by "deficiency of both heart and yin, fire evil disturbing the spirit" is more common in clinic.

In summer, you sweat a lot, so you need yin and yang to supplement and dehumidify. If a person has sufficient yang, he can get rid of dampness, which can help yang. Judging from the dampness in the body, the tongue body is full of body fluid, the tongue is obese, and the thick and greasy coating is caused by the intersection of cold and dampness if the white coating is thick and greasy, and the yellow and greasy coating is caused by the intersection of damp and heat. Damp-heat intersection is common in summer.

Pressing the acupoints with the thumb belly can protect the spleen and eliminate dampness all the year round.
The heart governs the gods. Pay more attention to psychological adjustment in summer. The heart belongs to yang, while quietness is yin. Only by coordinating and balancing yin and harmony can we achieve the purpose of health preservation. Be good at adjusting your mind and keep a happy and stable mood. Don't be too upset and sad because of great joy, great anger and great sorrow.
People should take advantage of this season of summer to vent their stagnant anger in spring, and keep their emotions smooth and their mentality peaceful. In summer, nature is thriving, and people's favorite scenery is outdoor, so we should go outdoors more and enjoy the beautiful scenery of nature. Go against the natural way of summer, you will be sad if you go against it, and you will be depressed in autumn and winter and easily get sick.
In summer, noon at 1 1 ~ 13 is the highest temperature in a day, and it is also the time when the hands are on duty, the heart meridian is the most vigorous, and the heart qi is the most easily damaged. Chinese medicine calls it "eating qi with fire"; Noon is the hottest, blood is all over the body surface, and the blood supply to the brain is relatively reduced. Especially after lunch, the blood supply to the digestive tract increases, and the blood supply to the brain is less, which is the easiest to get sleepy. A proper lunch break can rest the heart and brain and keep them energetic.
1 1 to 1 Sleeping at noon and at night is the best way to keep fit. Falling asleep in these two hours will help nourish yin and yang, make the human body tend to a healthy state of "harmony between yin and yang" and relieve summer fatigue.
