What are the health points of high temperature in summer?

The key point of summer heat health preservation is to turn qi into body fluid, eliminate dampness and get rid of annoyance.

1, transforming qi into body fluid.

Summer solar terms are around "middling", which is the time when summer heat prevails. Hot weather is easy to consume the qi, blood and body fluids of the human body, so there is a saying that there is no disease in summer. Old people, children and the infirm are more difficult to resist heat, and are prone to dizziness, palpitations, chest tightness, sweating and other symptoms. At this time, it is very necessary to turn qi into fluid in time to supplement the loss of qi, blood and body fluid in order to improve symptoms.

Step 2 get rid of dampness and annoyance

In summer, the temperature is high and humidity is high, and there are many sultry sauna days. According to Chinese medicine, dampness is a kind of yin evil, which tends to decline in nature, and it is heavy and turbid, which inhibits qi activity. If the qi in the chest is not developed, people will get bored easily. At this time, you can fry fresh leaves of Pogostemon, mint, Eupatorium odoratum and Folium Artemisiae Argyi in water and take a bath with it.

These are aromatic plants, which can not only wake up the mind and relieve annoyance, but also dispel dampness and relieve exterior syndrome (use with caution for people with allergies). At the same time, eating bitter foods such as bitter gourd and bitter vegetables in summer can not only stimulate appetite, but also refresh people's minds and make people feel relaxed, thus playing a role in eliminating dampness and annoyance.
