The dog days of 40 days are finally over! Although it is still hot at noon after emergence, it is cool in the morning and evening, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. The climate characteristics of "one autumn rain and one cool" are obvious.

Eliminating dampness: try to "highlight"

In late summer and early autumn, the humidity is heavy. If it is blocked in the spleen and stomach, it is easy to hurt the body. Especially in middle-aged and elderly people, the spleen function is decreased and they are more vulnerable to water and dampness. You can try "external sticking" to get rid of excess moisture.

Stick poria cocos on your navel. Poria cocos powder 10g, mixed with warm water to make paste, applied to navel, covered and fixed with sterile gauze. Generally, change the dressing every 12 hours 1 time, and apply it for 4 times continuously. In this way, the effective components of poria cocos for diuresis and dampness can play a role.

In addition, you can also soak your feet with Pogostemon cablin and press the Yinling Spring on the inner side of your calf, which also has a good effect of eliminating dampness.

Moisturizing: eat more than three kinds of melons.

After coming out, you should get rid of dampness and prevent dryness. In this alternate season, I suggest you eat three kinds of melons, white gourd, bitter gourd and loofah.

Winter melon ball is a delicious dish, and it is also suitable for this season. Pork itself has the function of moistening dryness, while wax gourd has the function of diuresis and nutrition, which makes up for the problem of insufficient nutrition intake caused by hot summer weather and decreased appetite.

Bitter gourd and towel gourd can also play a good role in nourishing and moistening dryness. The two dishes I recommend are bitter gourd scrambled eggs and chicken, loofah and barley soup. Bitter gourd is cold, don't eat too much or bitter before eating.
