What does the summer solstice mean in solar terms?
The summer solstice is the tenth of the twenty-four solar terms. On this day, the direct position of the sun on the ground reaches the northernmost point of the year, almost directly to the Tropic of Cancer. At this time, the day in the northern hemisphere is the longest, and the farther north it is, the longer it is.
During this time, the weather is hot. In the view of Chinese medicine, people are prone to "heatstroke" because of the disorder of body temperature regulation mechanism in high temperature environment. If not treated in time, it will also lead to dysfunction of the central nervous system, such as confusion, mania, coma and so on.
Therefore, special attention should be paid to the following four summer measures:
1, don't go out around noon, especially to avoid exposure;
2. Avoid strenuous exercise and physical exertion;
3. Ensure the normal function of sweat glands without damaging them;
4, with the help of natural wind, fans, air conditioners and other cooling;
Health care characteristics of summer solstice solar terms
The summer solstice marks the beginning of summer. Cicada begins to sing in the forest, and Pinellia ternata is born underground. Yang Qi is extremely rich, and Yin Qi is growing gradually. Because the Yang Qi of human body begins to be consumed, it needs to be replenished in time. This is the principle of treating winter diseases in summer in traditional Chinese medicine.
Because the skin is slack, you should not take too many cold baths, and don't be greedy when you lie down at night. In midsummer, if you are wet, you will suffer from bitter vegetables, such as bitter gourd, bitter vegetables and Poria cocos and lotus leaf lean porridge, which can also cool off the heat, eliminate dampness and strengthen the spleen.
Professor Pan Benqian, the chief Chinese medicine practitioner, has a poem that summarizes the characteristics of health preservation from summer solstice:
Summer solstice
The cicada is full of heat and Pinellia ternata is born, and the yin and yang turn to the self.
Yang-rising body can treat winter diseases and summer diseases.
Taking a cold bath in hot weather is easy to hurt the yang, and lying down to avoid the cold is more relaxed.
Slightly bitter vegetables clear summer heat and promote diuresis, and Poria cocos lotus leaf porridge is fragrant.
