At this time, the evil of summer heat can dissipate yang and body fluid, leading to hyperhidrosis, decreased body fluid, dry mouth and lips, yellow urine and upset, and so on.

As long as you do these two things well, you will naturally be full of energy. This is the basic law of mental recuperation in summer.

Second, be sure to prevent dampness: "Humidity" is also the main gas in long summer, especially in the south, where the weather is hot and rainy. Because the damp pathogen is heavy and turbid downward, it is particularly easy to damage the function of the spleen and stomach, leading to indigestion in summer; Moisture is also particularly easy to invade the bones and muscles of the skin, so skin lesions and arthritis often occur in summer. In dog days, due to the effects of high temperature, low pressure and high humidity, sweat is not easy to be discharged and evaporated after sweating, which will make people fidgety, tired, lose appetite and prone to gastroenteritis and dysentery. Damp pathogen in long summer is the most likely to invade the spleen and stomach function, leading to low digestion and absorption function.

The indoor temperature is not lower than 25℃. Air-conditioned rooms should not be closed for a long time, and should be ventilated frequently. After falling asleep, you'd better turn off the air conditioner. When you feel cold indoors, you must stand up and move your limbs and body to speed up blood circulation.
