After the early autumn, although the weather is getting cooler every day, autumn tigers often come. In the Mid-Autumn Festival, if there is high temperature, sunny weather, persistent drought and dry air, warm dryness will come uninvited, which will often damage body fluids, causing symptoms such as dry skin, red tongue, dry hair, dry stool, dry mouth and nasopharynx, chest pain, dry cough and less phlegm. In late autumn, cold and dryness hurt the lungs, making people cough with thin phlegm, dry throat and dry lips, and stuffy nose. But whether it is warm or cold, it always shows dry skin and insufficient body fluid. In order to prevent autumn dryness, we should eat some drugs or foods with mild nature, nourishing yin and moistening dryness, nourishing lung and promoting fluid production, such as white fungus or black fungus stewed rock sugar; Boil soup with Polygonatum odoratum, Radix Adenophorae and duck; Parching black sesame, grinding, and mixing with honey. In order to prevent autumn dryness, you can eat more fruits, among which pears and sugar cane are the first choice. Secondly, water chestnut, banana and loquat are also good moistening things. However, those with diarrhea due to spleen deficiency and dampness, and those with cough due to lung cold and phlegm should not eat more of the above fruits.
Need to remind everyone that autumn tonic should be based on qingping. Except those with yang deficiency, don't eat too many warm foods or drugs, such as mutton, dog meat, ginseng, velvet antler, cinnamon and so on. Otherwise, it is easy to aggravate autumn dryness. In addition, autumn tonic should also vary from person to person.
