Three phases of great summer heat
The summer heat is divided into three stages: "One stage is that rotten grass is firefly; Second, wait for the soil to moisten the summer heat; When it rains, it will be fine. "
(1) When the rotten grass is firefly, it is called Danliang, Danbird, Nocturnal Light and Nightlight Candle, which are all aliases of firefly. From the extreme of Ming, the subtle things will also turn into Ming. Terrestrial fireflies lay eggs on the hay, and in the summer, fireflies ovulate, so the ancients thought that fireflies were made of rotten grass.
(2) Second, the soil moistens the summer heat: it is moist, and the soil is moist, so it is moist due to steaming; Summer heat, commonly known as filth, is also hot. The weather began to get muggy and the land was wet.
(3) When it rains three times: when it is wet and hot, it is steaming, and when it rains today, it will be done to cool off the heat. That is to say, there are often heavy thunderstorms, and this heavy rain weakens the heat and humidity, and the weather begins to transition to beginning of autumn.
Emotionally, we should abide by the principle of "keeping in good health by meditation", keep a quiet mind, avoid bad stimulation, treat everything with a normal heart, and never be overjoyed and furious. Secondly, we should pay attention to the psychological coolness, and we can adjust our mood by means of "psychological suggestion" and "psychological coolness".
When the solar terms enter the "midsection" in the summer heat, people often feel upset, loss of appetite, impatience and anxiety, which is a typical symptom of "emotional heatstroke". "Emotional heatstroke" is very harmful to summer health and physical and mental health, especially for the elderly and infirm. Because of emotional disorder, it will cause myocardial ischemia, arrhythmia and elevated blood pressure, and even lead to sudden death. Therefore, in summer, control personal emotions and guard against diseases.
Daily life is a vital part of health preservation in the summer, and the solar terms in the summer pay attention to "lying at night and getting up early, taking a nap at noon". People need to get at least seven to eight hours' effective sleep every day, and the time from 1 p.m. to1p.m. is the time for qi and blood to flow back to the viscera. Lack of sleep will easily lead to yin deficiency in the liver and disharmony between yin and yang, and a proper nap at noon will help the heart meridian to run. In addition, in the hottest afternoon, people should try to reduce going out as much as possible. If they must go out, they must take sun protection measures, such as wearing a sun hat, playing a sun umbrella, applying sunscreen and carrying heatstroke prevention drugs with them.
In terms of sports, it is best to exercise in the early morning or evening to avoid exercising under the scorching sun. Choose sports with relatively small amount of exercise, such as broadcast gymnastics and badminton, to avoid being too tired and sweating, and at the same time, drink warm water and replenish body fluids after exercise. Don't take a shower immediately after exercise. The correct way is to wait until the sweat on your body is dry, and then take a shower with warm water. The water temperature should be higher than the body temperature 1~2℃.
Dietary aftercare is based on the climate characteristics of summer days. Because of the hot weather and sweating in summer, it is easy to consume gas and hurt yin. At this time, people are often "three points without illness". Therefore, in addition to timely hydration, we should often eat some light foods that can replenish qi and nourish yin to enhance our physical fitness. Such as yam, jujube, sea cucumber, eggs, milk, honey, lotus root, fungus, soybean milk, lily porridge, chrysanthemum porridge and so on. Avoid spicy and greasy food.
Eat more bitter food. Bitter food not only clears away heat, but also relieves heat and summer heat and fatigue. Eating bitter food such as bitter gourd, bitter vegetable and bitter buckwheat properly can strengthen the spleen and stimulate appetite. In addition, bitter food can also make people feel refreshed and relaxed, which is conducive to restoring energy and physical strength in hot summer, and alleviating or eliminating discomfort such as general fatigue and listlessness.
Increase the intake of foods that clear away heat and relieve summer heat, strengthen the spleen and promote diuresis, such as mung bean soup, lotus leaf, watermelon, lotus seed, wax gourd, lentils and coix seed, which have good effects of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat and strengthening the spleen. The summer season is also the season of frequent intestinal diseases. Eating more "sterilized" vegetables such as garlic, onions and leeks can prevent gastrointestinal diseases.

Efficacy of clearing away summer heat, stopping dysentery and detoxifying.
In the hot summer season, the pores of the human body are open, sweating is constant, the yang is exhausted, the exterior of the defense is not solid, and the evil of wind and cold is easy to take advantage of. Therefore, it is necessary to guard against both "sunny summer heat" and "cloudy summer heat" in the dog days. Don't be greedy for cold drinks and cold sleeping in the dog days. The ancients said, "summer is not to be poor and cool", and excessive greed for cold can cause "cold", while patients with chronic bronchitis, hypertension and coronary heart disease often make their condition worse after catching cold.
The summer heat is the season with the highest temperature and the highest yang in the whole year. In health care, it is often said that "winter disease is cured in summer", so it is the best time to treat those chronic diseases that occur every winter, such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, bronchial asthma, diarrhea, rheumatism and arthralgia.
"three nests" health care method for removing summer heat and dampness
1. The extreme spring point in the armpit is located at the apex of the armpit, where the axillary artery pulsates. It is an important point of the heart meridian, which can remove the fire poison of the heart. It should be massaged frequently or poked, usually not less than 36 times, at least twice a day, to dredge the meridians, regulate sleep and improve the discomfort of the heart.
2. The Quchi point of the cubital fossa is located at the lateral end of the transverse stripes of the elbow, which bends the elbow. When the point of connection between the Chize point and the lateral epicondyle of the humerus is the midpoint, the moist and turbid qi of the large intestine meridian gathers here. You can pat the elbow socket continuously for about 5 minutes to feel the soreness.
3. The weizhong point of the knee fossa is located at the midpoint of the popliteal striation, between the tendon of biceps femoris and the semitendinosus tendon, that is, the center of the medial side of the knee. You can press the acupoints in your legs 50 times each. After you stand up, you will feel very relaxed and the pressure will completely disappear.
