Extended data:

The climate in long summer is characterized by heavy moisture, which directly attacks the spleen, one of the five internal organs. When the moisture in the body is too heavy, the spleen is easily overloaded, and the function of Shui Gu will be affected. On the one hand, it will lead to disharmony between the spleen and stomach, dizziness, limb pain, diarrhea and other symptoms. On the other hand, spleen dampness can produce phlegm dampness. After phlegm-dampness is blocked, the more moisture accumulated in the human body, the easier it is for people to feel sleepy.

Coupled with the hot weather, it is easy to sweat, and the gas will come out with sweat. People who sweat too much will lose yang, and people will easily feel tired. Therefore, the theory of four-season health preservation in traditional Chinese medicine advocates "invigorating spleen in summer" to prevent the invasion of damp heat.
