Beat the Summer Heat: Natural Remedies for Cooling and Nourishing the Body
December 11, 2023
Summer is hot and sweaty, especially during the hottest time of the year. In traditional Chinese medicine, sweat is considered as "the fluid of the heart", and excessive sweating can naturally deplete the heart's yin fluid. Clear Heart Tea: Brewing a tea with three types of flowers - honeysuckle, golden lotus, and lily - can help clear away heart fire, cool the body, and detoxify. It is a simple and practical tea for nourishing the heart in the summer.
Having sufficient sleep is important in the summer. "Sleep well on hot days is better than eating ginseng". Good sleep and a good mood are conducive to a calm mind. Therefore, it is important to adjust your daily routine according to the needs of the season, such as staying up late and getting up early, to adapt to the changes of the yang dominance and yin deficiency in nature. If there is a lack of sleep, it can be compensated by taking a nap.
Drinking porridge is a good choice for health in the hottest time of the year. Drinking porridge in the summer not only quenches thirst and relieves heat, but also nourishes the body. Lotus Leaf and Peppermint Porridge: 1 fresh lotus leaf, 30g of peppermint, 100g of glutinous rice. Wash and chop the lotus leaf, wash the peppermint, boil them in water over medium heat to extract the juice, and then cook the glutinous rice with the juice. Add rock sugar and it is ready to be consumed.
