How to treat prickly heat in adults conveniently

Prickly heat is a common problem in summer. It is caused by overheated weather and the inability of sweat from the body to be discharged in time, as well as long-term contact with the skin. So how should we treat prickly heat when it occurs? Today, we will explain to you how to treat prickly heat in adults more conveniently and effectively.

Prevention: First of all, you must not use flushing water to cool down when you are sweating, which can easily cause annoying prickly heat. The correct way is to wait for the sweat to dry and then take a shower with warm water. Treatment: If you have annoying prickly heat, apply a towel soaked in warm water to the area where the prickly heat appears. When the towel becomes cold, soak it in it again until the water is cool again. Don't wash with cold water as this will make the condition worse. In terms of the prevention and treatment of prickly heat, the people have summarized many effective methods, which are worth learning from.

1. Watermelon is produced in abundance in summer. It not only has the effect of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, cooling blood and quenching thirst, but also can prevent the occurrence of prickly heat. When eating watermelon, it will be better if you refrigerate it in the refrigerator for a while before eating. Watermelon rind is a traditional Chinese medicine, called watermelon green rind. Wash the watermelon rind, slice it, and use it to make soup or dishes. Long-term consumption is also effective in preventing prickly heat.

2. It is recommended to eat more bitter foods in summer, and bitter melon is the best choice. Bitter melon can increase appetite, clear away heat and relieve summer heat. Eating more bitter melon can also prevent the occurrence of prickly heat. If you have prickly heat, bitter gourd can also be very helpful. The simplest way is to mash the bitter gourd to extract the juice, apply it to the affected area, and the prickly heat will disappear the next day. The old Chinese doctor will choose a ripe bitter gourd, take out some of the pulp, and pour in 50 grams of the traditional Chinese medicine borax. When the borax dissolves, water will flow out. Use this water to apply to the affected area, and the therapeutic effect is excellent.

3. There are three kinds of beans, namely mung beans, red beans and black beans. These three kinds of beans look good when put together. If they are boiled into soup, Chinese medicine calls it three-bean soup. Three-bean soup has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, strengthening the spleen and removing dampness, and is known as a good product for children's health care in summer. If you start taking it in summer, children will rarely get prickly heat. Specific preparation method: Use 10 grams each of mung beans, red beans, and black beans, add 600 ml of water, simmer on low heat until 300 ml remains, drink it with the beans and soup, it is suitable for regular consumption. If you add 20 grams of coix seed to the soup, the effect will be better.

The current living environment and living conditions have made prickly heat appear less frequently in our field of vision.
