Bathing with wormwood is a thousand-year-old custom, which is recorded in medical books. "wormwood bath" has the functions of dispelling cold and removing dampness, sterilizing and relieving itching, moistening skin, promoting blood circulation and dredging collaterals, so there is also a proverb that "wormwood bath is good for one year". For people with deficiency-cold constitution, taking a bath with Folium Artemisiae Argyi occasionally in summer can dispel dampness, warm yang and dredge meridians.
Suitable: people with deficiency-cold constitution, such as loose stool, cold, pale tongue, etc.
Bogey: Yin deficiency and internal heat are not suitable, such as obvious strawberry flavor on tongue coating, dry stool, yellow tongue coating, yellow gums and frequent tonsillitis.
purslane
Portulaca oleracea, cold in nature, enters the large intestine, liver and spleen meridians. It has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, promoting blood circulation to reduce swelling, and clearing away damp-heat in intestines. Summer prickly heat, eczema or itchy skin after mosquito bites can be relieved by bathing in purslane.
Suitable: it is suitable for people with fever and hot constitution.
honeysuckle
Honeysuckle is cold and belongs to the lung, heart and stomach meridians, and has the functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials, expelling wind and dissipating heat. Honeysuckle is often used to make tea and clear away heat, such as sore throat.
Suitable for people with hot constitution to take a bath.
Note: Some people with deficiency and cold constitution can mix honeysuckle and dried tangerine peel with internal heat. Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae is pungent, bitter and warm, which effectively cures the coldness and warmth of honeysuckle.
If it is a long-term skin problem, the main source is the imbalance of the five internal organs, which needs overall adjustment!
