I don't think so. Many people say that patchouli is a common remedy for heatstroke at home. If you are careful, it is not difficult to find out that the manual states that patchouli Zhengqi Shui is mainly used for summer-dampness colds, chills and fever, vomiting and diarrhea, and never has the effect of relieving heatstroke. For example, some people may use Huo Xiang Zheng Qi Shui to relieve the heat of summer, such as drinking a lot of cold drinks, caused by some fever, aversion to cold, nausea, abdominal distension, diarrhea and abdominal pain after the use of his cure.
Heat stroke should not use patchouli water. In hot conditions, the body sweats a lot and loses fluids. In severe cases, it can cause dizziness, nausea and even fainting shock. In this case, Patchouli Zhengqi Shui can not be used, because Patchouli Zhengqi Shui is a kind of medicine to dispel dampness, it also contains alcohol, which will aggravate the depletion of body fluids.
Sunstroke is a group of clinical syndromes that are caused by the body's inability to adapt to a hot environment and result in thermoregulatory disorders. The first thing to do is to leave the hot environment and hydrate properly. Patchouli Zhengqi water is made with alcohol as the solvent, and the alcohol content is often as high as 40%-50%, so some patients who are sensitive to alcohol may get drunk after taking patchouli Zhengqi water.
Drinking it when suffering from heatstroke does not relieve heatstroke, but may cause symptoms similar to excessive internal heat. Patchouli Zhenqi Shui is used to treat the "summer evil" caused by external wind-cold and internal dampness. It is only effective against certain gastrointestinal colds and gastrointestinal discomfort caused by cold drinks. Therefore, we should not use Pogostemon as a heat-clearing medicine for all kinds of illnesses. We must recognize the symptoms and prescribe the correct medicine before taking it.
