The awning season is the season when crops with awns, such as wheat, are ripe and harvested, and summer sowing crops, such as late rice, millet and millet, are also the busiest time for sowing.

"Summer is easy to enter the heart", corresponding to the busy farming season, people should pay more attention to nourishing the heart and preventing heatstroke during this period. "Sweat is the liquid of the heart", the climate is hot and humid, and when you move, you sweat, and your body is easy to get tired, which will inevitably consume your mind.

If the yang meridian is warm, it can nourish the heart and lungs and nourish the soul. " Therefore, the heart-nourishing moxibustion in the season of awn seed should be mainly moxibustion at Yang meridian. Our body, especially the back near the head and neck, is the place with the most abundant yang, and Dazhui point is an important point of this yang. Dazhui is also the place where the three Yang meridians of the hands and feet meet the Du Meridian. Moxibustion at Dazhui point can permeate all yang meridians of hands and feet.
Nourishing kidney and consolidating the foundation
In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, heart and kidney can be called a pair of "brothers", and they use and restrict each other, which is called "the intersection of heart and kidney" in traditional Chinese medicine. Because the heart fire will go down to the kidney to help the kidney yang, * * * warms the kidney water so that the kidney water is not cold; Kidney yin must benefit the heart, nourish the heart yin and cultivate the heart yang, so that the heart yang will not be excited and the human body will be healthy and peaceful. Kidney qi refers to the qi transformed by kidney essence.

Eliminating dampness and strengthening spleen are indispensable.
During the period from the awning to the summer solstice, the temperature rises and the rain increases. Sunny days and heavy rains sometimes appear alternately, and summer and humidity stagnate. Chinese medicine believes that dampness, as a kind of yin evil, will harm the yang of human body. Because it is turbid and heavy, it is easy to block qi, and it is difficult to recover after getting sick. Moisture hurts the spleen and stomach, and many people will feel qi deficiency, frequent loss of appetite, abdominal distension after meals, shortness of breath and fatigue. At this time, you can cook glutinous rice and red bean porridge, clear away heat and strengthen the spleen, and remove dampness and detoxification.

Therefore, it is advisable to reduce acid and increase bitterness, and eat more bitter foods, such as bitter gourd, towel gourd, celery and lotus seed core. This will not only clear the heart, reduce fire, relieve summer heat, but also stimulate the digestive ability of the spleen and stomach and stimulate appetite.
