After the heat and summer, it rains continuously, and the human body is easy to feel the invasion of external dampness, resulting in general weakness, turbid tongue coating, disharmony between spleen and stomach, loss of appetite, anxiety, heavy head and tiredness, thirst and nausea. Traditional Chinese medicine calls it "typhoid fever in summer" or damp heat.
The so-called wet is the so-called water wet, which can be divided into external wet and internal wet. External humidity is caused by humid climate, wading in the rain or wet indoor, which makes external moisture invade the human body; Internal dampness is a pathological product, which is often related to digestive function.
The so-called heat is a kind of thermal image. However, heat and humidity coexist in damp heat, or invade the human body because of heavy damp heat in summer and autumn, or transform into heat because of long humidity residence time.
A febrile disease, such as fever, headache, short and yellow urine, heavy body pain, yellow and greasy fur. It is easy to cause jaundice, cystitis, dysentery and other diseases.
Damp-heat is the internal cause of the transformation of dampness into heat, which can cause heat annoyance, bitter taste, chest tightness, jaundice, short and red urine, eczema and so on. It is necessary to clear away heat and dry dampness, benefit dampness and gallbladder, and eat more polished rice, white radish, horseshoe and cabbage. [Edit this paragraph] The general symptoms of damp heat are: heavy limbs, more obvious fever in the afternoon, and no relief from sweating; The tongue coating is yellow and greasy, and the pulse is rapid. The specific manifestations vary according to different parts of damp heat: eczema or blisters appear on the skin for treatment; There is local swelling and pain in joints and tendons. However, damp-heat usually refers to damp-heat entering the viscera, especially spleen-stomach damp-heat, which can be seen as abdominal distension, nausea, anorexia, loose stool, short and red urine and rapid pulse; Others, such as damp-heat in the liver and gallbladder, are manifested as swelling and pain in the liver area, anorexia in the mouth, or yellowing of the body and eyes, or alternating cold and heat, and rapid pulse; Damp-heat in bladder is characterized by frequent urination, urgency, less astringency and dysuria: yellow and turbid color; Abdominal pain and diarrhea, even acute diarrhea, purulent stool, burning anus and thirst can be seen in damp-heat of large intestine.
The treatment of damp-heat is generally divided into wet weight or heat weight. Dampness is mainly caused by dampness, and Liuyi Powder, Sanren Decoction and Wei Ping Powder can be selected. Clearing heat is the main way to clear heat, and Lianpu Decoction, Yinchenhao Decoction and even Gegen Qinlian Decoction can be selected. Under this principle, the corresponding drugs are selected according to some special manifestations such as eczema and furuncle, and Flos Chrysanthemi Indici, Herba Violae, Radix Sophorae Flavescentis and Cortex Dictamni Radicis are added; Ramulus Cinnamomi, Caulis Lonicerae and Ramulus Mori are added for joint swelling and pain; Pulsatilla chinensis, Sanguisorba officinalis, Plantago asiatica, etc. Is added for diarrhea and even dysentery; Radix Gentianae and Radix Sophorae Flavescentis can be added for eczema of scrotum, swelling and pain of testis and yellow leucorrhea. Cirsium japonicum, lalang grass rhizome, pyrrosia and Polygonum aviculare can be added for hematuria.
In addition, because heat is often attached to dampness, we should pay attention to the improvement of living environment and diet conditioning, avoid overeating and eat less greasy food and sweets, so as to maintain good digestive function and avoid water and dampness stopping inside or entering outside, which is the key to prevent damp and heat. [Edit this paragraph] Drink soup to drive away "moisture"

Tips for stewing clear soup
Now, with the electronic stewing cup, you can stew the soup before going to work in the morning, keep it warm automatically, and you can drink it when you get home from work. Stewing soup seems much easier. But to make a good stew, you need to pay attention to some tips. Master Liang revealed some tips for stewing meat:
Although all the ingredients in the stew are stewed in the pot, the stew is carefully placed. Put the meat at the bottom first, and then stew the herbs and ingredients on it. The soup will be clearer. Don't covet the water outside the cup, because too much water will seep into the cup when cooking.
Dilute the taste of soup.
Then you have to master the temperature. Electronic stews can be cooked for 3 hours without watching the fire once and for all. But if you have time to watch the fire, you should use strong fire for half an hour, let the water in the cup boil, and then you can take it back and simmer it for 3 hours.
The soup tastes fuller.
The treatment of soup is generally simple, but if there is meat with a strong smell, such as water fish and water snake, you must fly water before stewing, and then add ginger slices to taste.
