The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Why can honeysuckle join health care?

Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to' adapting to the time', which means that with the change of seasons and different environments, the way of health preservation needs to be changed. With the gradual increase of the outside temperature, we need to use some Chinese herbal medicines for health preservation at this time. This time can be said to be very suitable for keeping in good health with honeysuckle.

Then, with the increase of external temperature, why can we choose honeysuckle for health? This should be analyzed from its medicinal value. Since ancient times, it has been regarded as the first choice for clearing away heat and toxic materials by the Chinese medicine community. First, because it belongs to flower medicine, it tastes sweet, and second, its efficacy is really obvious.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Several advantages of choosing honeysuckle are 1. Eliminate heat and evil.

With the change of environment, exogenous pathogens are also changing gradually, and the higher the temperature, the worse the exogenous pathogens will be. If our own immunity is low, or we occasionally feel that heat evil in our body can't be evacuated for a period of time, using honeysuckle can play a very good role in alleviating it.

For example, in high temperature season, if there are some common symptoms of wind-heat exterior and interior, accompanied by fever, chills, dry throat, thirst and other symptoms, you can soak some honeysuckle in water appropriately, which is very helpful for dispersing wind-heat and relieving various discomforts caused by wind-heat exterior and interior.

Step 2 clear away heat and toxic materials

Honeysuckle is sweet in taste and cold in medicine, which has a good purgative effect on some heat toxins. As the temperature rises, people are most likely to accumulate some thermal toxins in their bodies, which is also very suitable for soaking in water with honeysuckle.

For example, when the heat toxin in our body is serious and the skin cannot spread outward, the heat toxin accumulates, and some nameless redness and sores are easy to appear inside and outside the skin. In this case, soaking some honeysuckle in water directly can effectively alleviate it. In addition, we can also use wild chrysanthemum, Radix Isatidis, dandelion, and Herba Violae to soak in water. The effect of clearing away heat and toxic materials will be more obvious.

Step 3 relieve eczema

Damp evil is often accompanied by heat evil, which is what we often call damp-heat evil. When the body is hot and humid for a long time, many people will have some skin eczema, which can not be dissipated for a long time. In this case, it is also effective to use honeysuckle for health care.

And for these skin eczema caused by damp heat, honeysuckle can be taken orally and externally. For oral administration, you can take it directly with boiling water without making tea. For external use, you can dip some honeysuckle decoction in gauze and then wipe it or apply it externally on eczema, which can inhibit the appearance of eczema to some extent.

Step 4 eliminate summer heat

As the temperature rises, many people will suffer from' summer heat', and we can also choose to use honeysuckle to alleviate the summer heat. Because of its sweet taste and cold and clear efficacy, it can effectively clear away heat and relieve summer heat.

Nowadays, many people use honeysuckle dew to cool off the heat in the hot season, and the effect is very good. In daily life, we can also make some honeysuckle tea to relieve the heat. At this time, we can cook dried tangerine peel, Prunella vulgaris, Elsholtzia, Eupatorium odoratum, plantain, chrysanthemum, bamboo leaves and lotus leaves together. At the same time, you can add some rock sugar to improve the taste, which is easy to be accepted by people and has a better effect of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat.
