Autumn is coming, what two points can be done to prevent autumn dryness and lung fire?

After the Millennium solar terms, the air is dry and easy to get angry. Do the following two precautions!

First, drink more nourishing tea.

When the autumn wind cools down, it also dries the moisture in the air. Traditional Chinese medicine calls this climate characteristic "autumn dryness". Because the lungs control breathing, including fur, and the lungs and large intestine are exterior and interior, when the humidity in the air drops, the lungs, large intestine and fur are first affected, and symptoms such as dry mouth, dry lips, dry nose, dry throat, dry stool, chapped skin, etc. are easy to appear, and in severe cases, there will be nosebleeds caused by dryness.

Drinking more water this season is on the one hand, and it is best to put some tea leaves, which can play the role of removing fire and nourishing yin.

Weishan tea is one of them.

Codonopsis pilosula is listed as the top grade in Shennong Materia Medica Classic, and the modern clinical application of Codonopsis pilosula recorded in Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine emphasizes its functions of nourishing yin, moistening lung, promoting fluid production to quench thirst and nourishing stomach.

The tail ginseng is sweet and fat, soft and moist, and it is a good medicine for nourishing yin and promoting fluid production blindly. Moreover, vitamin A contained in Codonopsis pilosula has a good effect on improving dry and rough skin. Modern medical research also shows that Pseudostellaria heterophylla contains a variety of glycosides, amino acids, zinc, manganese and other nutrients, which has the functions of protecting the heart and blood vessels, cleaning up the garbage in the body and delaying aging.

Second, eat more moist food.

Because the air is dry in autumn, it is easy to get lung fire, so eat more moist food. Chinese medicine says "white enters the lungs", such as cabbage, lily and lotus root.

Cooked lotus root is sweet, flat and non-toxic. It can strengthen the spleen, stimulate appetite, nourish blood and nourish the heart, so it can nourish the five internal organs, and has the effects of promoting digestion and quenching thirst.

Lotus root is the most tonic in autumn, which can nourish yin and clear heat, moisten dryness and quench thirst, and can also nourish kidney yin with black fungus.
