Introduction to summer health care
1, invigorating spleen and removing dampness. Humidity is a great scourge in summer. In addition, the spleen and stomach function is low in summer, and there are often symptoms such as poor appetite, diarrhea, and white greasy tongue coating. Always take something that strengthens the spleen and promotes diuresis. Generally speaking, it is a product that strengthens the spleen, aromatizes and eliminates dampness, and lightly permeates and promotes diuresis, such as Pogostemon, Eupatorium odoratum and so on.

2. 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 Ziziphus jujuba seed, mint, honeysuckle, forsythia and so on.

3. 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.

4. Winter disease is cured 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.

5. Take Qing as the point. In summer, when 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. The human body should adapt to the changes of natural environment and seasonal climate. Summer is characterized by "heat", so the key to health preservation lies in "cleanliness".
