How to prevent dryness, nourish yin and nourish lungs first?

The summer heat of the six solar terms in autumn has passed, and it is dry at the right time. Motherland medicine believes that dryness is the main qi of the six solar terms in autumn, which is called "autumn dryness". Its qi is clear and dry. Therefore, dryness hurts people and is easy to consume body fluids. The so-called "dryness wins dryness". When the body fluid is exhausted, there will be dryness, such as dry mouth, dry lips, dry nose, dry throat, dry tongue, dry stool, dry skin and even chapped skin.

The six solar terms in autumn echo the lungs of human body. The lungs control qi and breathe, communicating with the atmosphere through the nasal orifices and with the outside world through the sweat pores of the skin. Because the lungs are delicate, they "like moistening and hate dryness" and are vulnerable to external evils, especially in autumn. "dryness is easy to hurt the lungs", and it is easy to have a cough or dry cough without phlegm and dry mouth. Lung fluid injury is characterized by dry mouth, sore throat, dry eyes, nosebleed, dry cough with little phlegm, rough skin, dry stool and other symptoms. Therefore, we should pay attention to nourishing the lungs in autumn, prevent autumn dryness from hurting the lungs, and make the lungs clear and breathe peacefully. This is the "way to raise income" in the six solar terms in autumn.
