When summer comes, many people start cooking mung bean soup at home. In fact, summer is a good time to drink ginger jujube tea!

From the long summer to the dog days, moxibustion and drinking ginger jujube tea can not only strengthen the stomach and eliminate dampness, but also nourish blood and replenish qi ... and sweep away the disease in the body.

So we must arrange it for everyone in advance this year.

From long summer to dog days, it's time to drink ginger jujube tea.

Why is it the best time to drink ginger and jujube tea from the long summer to the day before the dog days? Because after a winter and a spring, people will accumulate more sick gas in their bodies.

Summer is hot, the human body begins to understand, and the yang in the body is weak.

At this time, drinking a cup of ginger jujube tea can not only supplement the deficiency of yang in the body, but also help yang to dispel cold. Just in line with the purpose of "nourishing yang in spring and summer" in Huangdi Neijing.

And after the hot weather, the spleen and stomach are weak and cold. If ginger and jujube are used to replenish the spleen and stomach in advance, summer will be more comfortable.

"Compendium of Materia Medica" records red dates: "Tonifying middle energizer, invigorating spleen, moistening heart and lungs, relieving yin and blood, promoting fluid production, pleasing color, dredging nine orifices, helping the twelve meridians, and making a hundred medicines".

Jujube, folk proverbs have "three dates in a solar eclipse, never getting old", "Five grains plus red dates are better than Ganoderma lucidum".

However, although red dates are good, they are sticky and difficult to digest. When we drink ginger jujube tea, try not to eat the red dates inside, just drink water.

Jujube mainly tonifies qi, followed by blood. When it is combined with ginger, it can contain the divergence of ginger.

Moreover, jujube can nourish the spleen and stomach. Combining the two, ginger will not hurt the spleen and stomach, but will warm the spleen and stomach.

What are the taboos of this kind of tea? In addition to the hot constitution such as spleen and stomach fever, people with red lips, dry mouth and five upset can't drink ginger jujube tea.

People with severe cold and dampness in the lower energizer, such as women with uterine cold (leucorrhea is numerous and sparse, dysmenorrhea), men with kidney cold and chronic diarrhea due to stomach deficiency, can often drink it; People who don't catch a cold can also drink ginger jujube tea at this time.

How to reduce moxibustion by strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness?

Moxibustion is a green therapy of traditional Chinese medicine, which has been respected by generations. The warm gas generated during moxibustion acts on the acupuncture points on the surface of human body and reaches the five internal organs through meridians, which can supplement the yang for the body.

Humidity is one of the biggest evils in summer. If the spleen and stomach are not good in summer, people's health will become very poor, such as loss of appetite, white and greasy tongue coating, diarrhea and other symptoms.

Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow and the source of qi and blood biochemistry. If the spleen and stomach are well conditioned and their functions are enhanced, then the body will be transported.

Therefore, from the long summer to the dog days, we must remember to strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness.
