In summer, when the weather is extremely hot, the heart fire will be stronger. At this time, some traditional Chinese medicines with the functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials and clearing heart fire, such as chrysanthemum, mint, honeysuckle, forsythia and lotus leaf, are often used to remove summer heat.
2, spleen and dehumidification
Summer dampness is a great evil. In addition, the spleen and stomach function is low in summer, at this time, many people will feel poor appetite, easy to have loose bowels, and there will be symptoms of heavy dampness such as white greasy tongue coating. Therefore, we should often soak our feet with Taiwan Province Chen's fumigation medicine bag, because this kind of foot bath medicine bag can help to get rid of summer dampness, prevent colds, dizziness, heatstroke, etc., and can cheer people up, stimulate appetite and promote sleep.
3. Nourish the lungs and kidneys
According to the traditional law of five elements, in summer, heart fire is flourishing and lung gold and kidney water are weak, so the yin of lung and kidney should be nourished. At this time, we can soak our feet at 9 o'clock in the evening, because the kidney water is weak in summer, and at 9 o'clock, the kidney meridian qi and blood are weak. At this time, we soak our feet with Taiwan Province Chen fumigation medicine bag. After the body heat increases, the blood vessels in the body will expand, which is beneficial to promoting blood circulation, thus promoting blood circulation in the body. At the same time, the nerves that have been nervous for a day and the kidneys that have been tired for a day can be completely relaxed and fully adjusted by soaking their feet at this time, and people will feel comfortable.
4. Winter disease is cured in summer
In summer, the body and the outside world are full of yang. At this time, oral Chinese medicine combined with acupuncture and other external treatment methods can be used to treat some diseases that are prone to occur in winter. If the ointment is applied to acupoints, it can treat rhinitis and asthma in winter.
In addition, the sunshine time in summer is long, dawn is early and dark is late. At this time, people's daily routine should also be adjusted appropriately. When following the principle of going to bed late and getting up early, they should take an afternoon nap at noon, so that the brain and all systems of the whole body can have a rest, so as to eliminate fatigue and keep energetic.

Summer schedule
Generally speaking, he said, it is advisable to go to sleep later and get up early in order to adapt to the changes of yang excess and yin deficiency in nature. In Huangdi Neijing, it says: "In Xia San, people lie down at night and get up early, which means that in summer, people have to get up early every day to conform to the fullness and prosperity of yang; Go to sleep later to adapt to the deficiency of yin qi. It's sunny in summer, so don't hate the long days and hot days, but still take appropriate activities to adapt to the growth of summer. In summer, due to staying up late and getting up early, there is relative lack of sleep, so after studying and working all morning, you may feel tired and need to take a lunch break to make appropriate compensation. Especially for the elderly, they have the characteristics of false sleep and easy to wake up. They get up early in the morning and want to doze off at noon. Therefore, they need to have a rest at noon. In addition, due to the high temperature during the day, excessive sweating, and high physical consumption, coupled with the high sun at noon, at this time, human blood vessels dilate, so that a large amount of blood is concentrated on the body surface, which causes the blood distribution in the body to be unbalanced and the blood supply to the brain to decrease, so I often feel depressed and sleepy. When I take a nap, I am relieved of fatigue and refreshed, which can better adapt to the work and labor at noon. But the nap time should not be too long, preferably within an hour. I would like to remind you here that you should not rush into it because of the short nap time, but also pay attention to sleep hygiene.
First of all, don't lie down immediately during meals, but take a little exercise to facilitate digestion. When taking a nap, don't sleep where through flow passes, and don't sleep on the table, so as not to oppress your chest and affect your breathing. It's best to take off your coat and cover your abdomen with a towel to avoid cold in your stomach and abdomen.
What you need to pay attention to when sleeping in summer is: don't let the electric fan blow directly during sleep. It is best to turn off the electric fan. If it is too hot, let the electric fan blow on the ceiling; It is not advisable to sleep outside at night, because in summer, the body is most vulnerable to wind, cold and dampness, which can cause numbness of hands and feet, facial paralysis and other diseases. Don't enjoy the cool night before going to bed, let alone enjoy the cool in the water pavilion, under the shade, in the aisle and on the balcony for a long time.
Summer dress
The first thing people should consider when dressing is the comfort of clothing, but only the style, color and beauty. Summer clothing should be light, thin and soft, and the better the permeability and heat absorption of the material, the more effectively it can help the human body to dissipate heat and make people comfortable and cool to wear.
In hot season, the human body can sweat about 500 ml per hour. Therefore, summer clothing should have good hygroscopicity and moisture dissipation performance in order to absorb sweat in time and evaporate it. Clothes with poor moisture absorption or too smooth inside can't get rid of sweat in time, and people will sweat and feel sultry and uncomfortable. The moisture absorption performance of different fabrics is different. According to the measurement, when the air temperature is 24℃ and the relative humidity is 50% ~ 70%, the moisture absorption of rayon fiber is10% ~14%, that of silkworm silk fabric is 8% ~10/%,and that of flax is 8%. Synthetic fiber has the worst moisture absorption rate, polyester is less than 1%, and vinylon is only 3%, so even wearing a nylon shirt with large pores will feel stuffy in summer. The reason is that nylon has poor moisture absorption and cannot effectively absorb sweat and evaporate it. Therefore, it is best to choose rayon, silk, linen and cotton knitwear for summer clothing.
The knowledge of blowing air conditioning
Some people are too eager to be cool, so they put the air conditioner close to their bodies and keep blowing for a long time. At this time, the blood circulation of the whole human body will be out of balance, and sweat excretion will be uneven. Symptoms such as headache, dizziness and general malaise may occur, and even stroke may be induced in severe cases.
First of all, the air blowing should not be too big: modern science believes that the indoor wind speed should be controlled at 0.2 ~ 0.5 m/s, and the maximum should not exceed 3 m/s. Therefore, the air blowing by electric fans should not be too big, especially in well-ventilated rooms and places with draught; Secondly, it is not appropriate to blow directly at people: direct blowing, common cold is easy to invade the body, especially when the body is weak or sweating, not to mention just having a good time, let the wind blow directly to the body, and it is best to let the air conditioner blow at a corner.
It is not advisable to wash your feet with cold water in summer.
When the summer heat wave hits people, some people who wear light sandals and slippers like to wash their feet with cold water. When they finish washing, they feel much cooler all over, but it is harmful to their health to do so often. Medical research has confirmed that human feet are the most distal parts of blood vessel branches; The fat layer of feet is thin and has poor heat preservation; The skin temperature of the sole of the foot is the lowest part of the whole body, which makes it easy to catch cold. If the feet are often washed with cold water in summer, the feet will be further chilled, and then a series of complex pathological reactions will be caused through vascular conduction, which will eventually lead to various diseases. In addition, because the sweat glands on the soles of the feet are relatively developed, suddenly washing the feet with cold water will cause the pores to suddenly close and block, which will cause the perspiration function to be slow after a long time. In particular, when the sensory nerve endings on the feet are stimulated by cold water, the normal blood vessel tissues contract violently, which will lead to diastolic dysfunction, limb spasm, erythematous limb pain, arthritis and rheumatism for a long time.
