The weather is so hot that I want to eat ice and drink cold drinks to cool off, but this may be counterproductive. Not only can it not relieve the heat, but it may also lead to heatstroke. Traditional Chinese medicine doctors have wonderful ways to teach you how to eliminate heat stroke and prevent heat stroke in summer.

Drinking hot coffee can relieve the symptoms of "mid-yin heat".

On a hot summer day, when people walk into the air-conditioned room from the outdoors, are they in a hurry to have a cold drink? Liao Zixian, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, said that this can easily lead to poor thermoregulation and "mid-yin heat" symptoms similar to a cold. Drinking a cup of brown sugar water, ginger water or hot tea or hot coffee will help relieve the symptoms. Lai Huilian Chinese medicine doctor also suggested that the white melon meat after removing the green skin of watermelon can clear the heat. Brewing Codonopsis pilosula, Ophiopogon japonicus and Schisandra chinensis into tea has the effect of invigorating qi and promoting fluid, nourishing yin and reducing sweat. In addition to preventing heatstroke, it can also replenish qi and eliminate fatigue.

"if the temperature difference is too large, it is easy to" suffer from yin and summer heat ".

Liao Zixian, a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine at Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital, pointed out that when the body temperature rises in summer and suddenly walks into the air-conditioned room from the hot outdoor or gulps down cold drinks, the difference in temperature is so great that the hot air comes into contact with the cold air before it spreads out, resulting in sudden contraction of pores and blood vessels, cold air gathering on the body surface or stomach, headache, dizziness, tight shoulders, fear of wind, cold fear, dry mouth and even diarrhea, nausea and other symptoms. That is, the so-called "mid-yin summer heat" in traditional Chinese medicine.

She said that from the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, "Zhongyin" is a type of heat stroke, which is easy to affect the intestines and stomach, causing indigestion, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, loose stools, etc., and the body shows weakness and weakness. I suggest you dry your sweat before entering the air-conditioned room from outdoors. In order to avoid excessive temperature difference, you can wear a long-sleeved thin coat, or rub the exposed parts of the body with dry cotton cloth, metabolize the waste on the body surface, and promote blood circulation. Prevent pores from being blocked by cold, especially the Dazhui acupoint at the most prominent part of the back of the neck, which can avoid the invasion of wind and cold and reduce the probability of "mid-yin and summer heat".

"Hot tea and hot coffee relieve headaches"

Doctor Liao said that once the heat is overcast, cold foods such as ice drink, sashimi, cold noodles and watermelons should be avoided. When necessary, drink brown sugar water and ginger water to help dilate intestinal blood vessels and prevent watery diarrhea. Dizziness and headache symptoms can be relieved by drinking hot tea and hot coffee. If you feel hot and dry, you might as well boil some light bamboo leaf water to drink, or scrape hair and disperse body heat to relieve discomfort.

When you come to a bowl of mung bean soup in hot summer, the heat will go away.

"wax gourd, lotus seeds and mung beans relieve heat."

Lai Huilian, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor at Keelung Hospital of the Ministry of Health, also said that in hot summer, try to avoid going out in the hottest period of the sun, that is, between 10:00 and 3 p.m., and replenish water at the right time in order to prevent heatstroke. Usually, you can eat watermelon, wax gourd, barley seed, lotus seed, mung bean and other food to relieve heat. Watermelon is commonly known as "natural white tiger soup". It tastes sweet and cold and has the effects of clearing heat and relieving heat, invigorating body and thirst, but because of cold nature. Enough is needed, lest the cold will hurt your stomach.
