the key to coping: there is a theory of "six evils" in the theory of clearing away toxin and reducing summer heat, which are six pathogenic factors: wind, cold, summer heat, dampness, dryness and fire. "Fire" is simply the so-called "getting angry". Excessive internal heat can occur in different seasons, and the first five evils can also lead to fire. In summer, besides fire, there are two evils, heat and humidity, which interfere with human health. Chinese medicine believes that summer corresponds to the "heart". Heavy summer heat and toxic heat can easily lead to heart fire, and people's spirit is easy to get tired and slack. It is also easy to cause a series of symptoms of excessive internal heat, such as dry mouth, oral ulcer, impatience, loss of appetite and so on.

Therefore, the first task of keeping healthy in summer is to clear away heat and toxic substances and reduce summer heat.
