This paper introduces several methods to prevent heatstroke and dampness:

Traditional Chinese Medicine-Eliminating Summer Heat and Dampness

In summer and autumn, when the humidity is high in summer, traditional Chinese medicines can be selected, such as: Pogostemon Pogostemonis 12g, Mulberry Leaves 12g, Pueraria lobata 15g, Elsholtzia Elsholtzia 10g, Chrysanthemum 15g, Lalang Grass Rhizome 30g and Poria 30g.

In the cold summer, the dosage of Herba Agastaches, Elsholtzia and Radix Puerariae should be appropriately increased. The amount of Herba Artemisiae Scopariae, Poria cocos and Lalang Grass Rhizome should be appropriately increased for those with wet weight. One dose a day for 3-5 days.

Diet-it should be light

The weather is hot in summer and autumn, the summer heat is hard to disappear, the human consumption increases, and the diet decreases. Therefore, we can scientifically absorb nutrition and adjust diet according to the climate characteristics at this time to supplement the consumption in summer and autumn.

The overall diet is light, digestible, non-greasy and other foods, and overeating and cold food are not allowed. Eat more foods to relieve summer heat and dampness, such as barley, mung beans and wax gourd. You can cook mung bean soup, melon and barley soup, carp and red bean soup, lotus leaf rice and so on.

Children's digestive function is still immature, so pay more attention to light diet. It is not advisable to eat too much indigestible meat.

Daily life-don't be greedy for cold.

Heatstroke is also called "injury to summer heat" in Chinese medicine, which is divided into yin and yang.

"Summer sun" is caused by working in the scorching sun or working in an environment with high temperature, poor ventilation and high humidity for a long time. "Yin summer heat" is caused by damp heat and greed. It is best for people with weak constitution to go out less when the summer heat is high, and it is best to turn on the air conditioner at 26 degrees when staying at home for the summer heat, and control the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor at about 7 degrees to avoid the harm of "yin summer heat".

Exercise-sweating slightly

Exercise and sweating are also helpful to release damp heat in the body. At this time, you can choose outdoor jogging, ball games and other sports.

However, it is worth noting that don't exercise vigorously and sweat profusely, otherwise it will easily hurt the yang, and it is appropriate to exercise slightly. In addition, don't wash your feet or bathe with cold water after exercise, because the pores of your body are open at this time. If cold water is used, it will cause the invasion of cold and dampness and lead to diseases, and even become a chronic disease that cannot be cured for many years.
