Symptom 4: air conditioning disease

In the hot summer, many people choose to hide indoors with adequate air conditioning, but when they go outdoors, they feel strong heat flow instantly, alternating hot and cold, and the temperature difference is very large, which is easy to cause colds and aches all over. This condition is most common in the shoulders and neck. Because the middle of the neck belongs to the bladder meridian of the foot sun and the du meridian.

When the weather is fine, Qin Ying will dry clothes and bedding, and will not create an environment for the growth of pathogenic microorganisms.
