Heat stroke

The cough caused by autumn dryness lasts for a long time, is difficult to cure, and is daunting. If you are weak and have low disease resistance, you cannot adapt well to the hot temperature, your body temperature regulation center will be disrupted, and your heat dissipation function will be impaired, which can easily lead to "heatstroke."

Yinshu

Heatstroke is also called "heat injury" in traditional Chinese medicine, which is divided into yin and yang. "Yang heat" is caused by working under the scorching sun or working for a long time in a high temperature, poorly ventilated, and high humidity environment, while "Yin heat" is caused by avoiding heat and seeking coolness too much. Due to the heat and humidity in summer, people's pores open and their skin becomes loose. If people avoid heat and seek coolness too much when sleeping, taking a nap, or enjoying the cool air, such as sleeping outdoors at night, or immediately pouring cold water on their heads and bodies after exercise, or immediately drinking a large amount of cold boiled water or iced drinks, or being blown by strong wind from an electric fan while sleeping, it can cause wind, cold, and dampness to invade the body and cause "yin heat".

Autumn is hot and rainy

While we are avoiding the autumn heat, the daytime temperature is very high, but the temperature difference between day and night often increases, and the alternation between hot and cold increases the possibility of heatstroke.

Yin heat damage can cause symptoms such as fever, headache, no sweat, chills, joint pain, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Especially the elderly, children, pregnant women, the weak and those with chronic diseases should strengthen protection and not avoid heat too much and seek coolness, so as to avoid the invasion of cold and dampness and cause "yin heat".

1. Drink plenty of water, at least 1000 ml per day;
