Can Chinese medicine get angry in summer?

There are many legends circulating in Juying Square: Eating Chinese medicine will get angry in summer! Therefore, many friends who should take Chinese medicine in summer gave up the opportunity to see Chinese medicine in summer. Is that really the case? The correct answer is: no! The reasons are as follows: 1. Chinese medicine pays attention to "harmony between man and nature", that is to say, no matter which season is spring, summer, autumn and winter, there is an interaction between man and nature, which leads to prone diseases, such as spring, seasonal atmosphere, rising yang heat, flu, stroke, stomachache, etc. In summer, when the humidity is in season, gastrointestinal diseases, low blood pressure and dizziness, and gastrointestinal colds occur frequently; In autumn and dry season, lung diseases and skin diseases occur frequently; Winter is the cold season, with cold pain in waist and leg joints, angina pectoris, renal edema and so on. It can be seen that due to different seasons and climates, people are prone to different diseases. Chinese medicine pays attention to suit the time and suit the remedy to the case, and chooses targeted Chinese medicine therapy in different seasons. The second reason: Chinese medicine has its unique medicinal properties, so-called: cold, hot, warm and cool. TCM syndrome differentiation of patients should also distinguish between deficiency and excess, cold and heat. The principle of clinical treatment of traditional Chinese medicine can be summarized as: "cold is hot, heat is cold, deficiency is tonic, but actually diarrhea." Obviously, Chinese medicine pays most attention to individual differences and syndrome differentiation in clinical practice. In short, if patients have heat syndrome, even in cold winter, Chinese medicine can also use cold medicine; If the patient is cold syndrome, even on a hot day, hot medicine can be used, which is the syndrome differentiation and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine. Obviously, the use of hot drugs for cold syndrome is aimed at the disease syndrome and will not lead to excessive internal heat! Reason 3: As the saying goes: "Eat radish and ginger in winter", which means that the weather is hot in summer, and the heat in the human body is also emitted outwards, showing sweat holes and sweating, while the heat in the body is insufficient, so you can eat a little spicy ginger in summer to warm the spleen and stomach, which can prevent and treat common gastrointestinal diseases in summer. In addition, in summer, people also like to add more spicy products such as pepper, onion and coriander when drinking mutton soup. Mutton is warm, pungent and sweaty, which plays a therapeutic role in warming the middle and dispelling cold. Obviously, medicine and food are homologous. Eating Chinese medicine in summer has something in common with the above two examples. Belongs to the unity of heaven and man, just a medicine for treating syndrome! Reason 4: There are many diseases, such as "bitter summer" disease, which is not uncommon in the crowd, that is, it occurs frequently in hot weather, with symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, lack of food and low blood pressure. TCM syndrome differentiation is deficiency of middle qi, and the effect is remarkable. There are also some diseases, such as allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis and joint pain caused by rheumatism. Most of them belong to kidney-yang deficiency and cold constitution, but it is effective to treat them with traditional Chinese medicine in summer, which is also called "treating winter diseases in summer". In addition, summer is a special season, and many professions or students have holidays, so they just use this rare time to recuperate and treat diseases. Conclusion: Chinese medicine pays the most attention to time, place and people, and analyzes the specific problems. A quasi-TCM doctor has his due laws of syndrome differentiation and treatment in hot summer, providing patients with high-level TCM clinical treatment, just like other seasons.
