"Explanation of Names" says: "Those who are in the heat will be cured (boiled). Such as water and things. 」
After the slight summer heat, the "cooking mode" of the summer month was officially opened: the sun in the sky and the steaming heat in the ground made people feel like cooking in a big pot and sweating all over.
Before and after the summer heat, most parts of our country entered the season of frequent thunderstorms, the biggest feature is that the humidity is too heavy, and the spleen is most afraid of the invasion of wet evil, which is prone to symptoms such as disharmony between the spleen and stomach, nausea and sweating, edema of hands and feet, and sparse stool.
The key to prevent dampness in summer is to replenish the spleen.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that people with heavy moisture are mostly spleen deficiency; People with spleen deficiency are mostly wet.
Spleen is healthy, which can expel moisture from the body.
Huangdi Neijing mentioned that "when you drink in the stomach, you will overflow the essence, while when you drink in the stomach, you will lose in the spleen, and your temper will disperse the essence", which means that the spleen governs transport and transformation, and not only food but also water will be transported.
In the present words, the spleen is responsible for the transportation and metabolism of water in the body, and it will help you get rid of the excess water in the body, so people with strong spleen rarely have wet weight.
People with spleen deficiency can't walk, lose the control of the spleen, and any water will turn into moisture, which will make people depressed, swollen, healthy qi weakened and diseases continue to breed.
There is a special academic term in traditional Chinese medicine called "spleen deficiency with dampness", which is ostensibly a causal relationship.
Therefore, the key to prevent dampness in summer and reduce illness is to replenish the spleen.
