What are the key points for care during the White Dew season?

After Bailu, the temperature difference between day and night increases. If you eat cold food at this time, it will easily cause spleen and stomach dysfunction. In addition, after the beginning of autumn, people's spleen and stomach functions have not yet changed from the weak and cold state of summer. If you eat too much raw and cold food, melons and fruits at this time, it will damage your spleen and stomach and cause abdominal pain and diarrhea. In addition to fruits and vegetables with cool nature, it is not advisable to eat too many apples. According to traditional Chinese medicine, apples are sour, sweet and cool in nature. If consumed properly, it can not only produce body fluids, quench thirst, and moisten the lungs, but also neutralize the heat toxins after drinking shochu or rice wine. Eating a few apples can stop diarrhea, but if you eat too many apples or are weak, it may cause diarrhea.

To prevent the spleen and stomach from catching cold, the most important thing is to keep the abdomen warm. An important principle during the White Dew season is not to wear overly revealing clothes. Backless and belly-baring clothes are no longer appropriate. Especially the elderly should add or remove clothes according to the outside temperature. Clothes should be made of light, loose and warm materials. Also, you should pay attention to keeping warm at night. Not covering yourself with a blanket or using a blanket that is too thin can also cause diarrhea. Generally speaking, acute diarrhea is a self-limiting disease. That is to say, acute diarrhea will stop automatically and gradually recover after it develops to a certain extent. Therefore, for patients with acute diarrhea, the body will recover on its own after two days of diarrhea to expel some of the cold air in the intestines. But during this period, you should pay attention to replenishing water. You can add a small amount of salt to rice soup, or add a small amount of salt and a tablespoon of white sugar to boiling water to replenish the loss of body fluids. If the diarrhea does not improve, or even worsens, and frequent vomiting, shock, or other serious complications occur, you should go to the hospital for treatment immediately.
