Hot summer days, the weather is so hot that it is frightening, can not stand without blowing air conditioning. Many people hide in the air conditioning room for a long time blowing air conditioning, the result is headache dizziness, fatigue and other symptoms, then they are the cold? Or heatstroke? How to prescribe the right medicine, often confusing to people.
The general public always think that the sun is shining, do not want to be heatstroke, the best way is to blow the air conditioning to cool off, in fact, this is a misconception, because hiding in the air conditioning room may also get heatstroke!
Most summer colds are caused by blowing on the air conditioner, which is also known as wind-cold in Chinese medicine, and can cause headaches, numbness in the shoulders and neck, but similar symptoms are also common in summer heat stroke.
The air conditioning will also be heatstroke, The Chinese medicine Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee pointed out that if you stay in the air-conditioned room for a long time in the summer, it is easy to cause the body surface microvascular constriction and capillary closure, this time the body wants to dissipate heat, but can not smoothly discharge heat, sweating, over time, will also be heatstroke.
The popular so-called scraping and patting, many people even addicted to patting, but Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee reminded, indeed, a scratch, scraping a few times, the skin surface immediately a red, many people think that this represents the “Gua Sha” which is effect, there is blood stasis in the body, by scratching, patting, scraping, can achieve detoxification effect, but this practice in the eyes of Chinese medicine, in fact, is very dangerous.
The actual fact that people feel more relaxed and comfortable after Gua Sha, Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee explained, is the illusion of nerve stimulation, and Gua Sha is a harm to the blood vessels. For those who always love to pat the whole body until the redness and swelling, in the long term, it is easy to lay the fatal hidden worry of triggering small strokes and blood clots.
Some people, in order to get rid of the heat, pour cold drinks, always with drinks in hand, but do not know that in the eyes of Chinese medicine, summer drinking ice water, is the biggest taboo in the taboo. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee stressed that the high temperature of the weather, the body needs to sweat to dissipate heat, if so drink cold drinks, will instantly make the gastrointestinal temperature drop, the body’s heat will not be able to fully and smoothly dissipate out, outside the body blowing air conditioning has been cold, then if the body and drink ice water and then suffer from cold, internal and external pressure, the body will not be able to operate soundly.
What is the best way to beat the heat? Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee said, blowing air conditioner is not unacceptable from the point of view of Chinese medicine, because Chinese medicine also believes that in summer, the human body’s lungs, head and skin should be kept cool, in order to eliminate the heat; but drinking ice water is never allowed. He explained that Chinese medicine believes that the most important transportation center of the human body is the gastrointestinal, in the summer, the gastrointestinal cold Qi must be dissipated and excreted smoothly in order to be healthy, if you drink ice water, it will only destroy the temperature of the gastrointestinal, only the opposite effect, can be said to be “a hundred harm but no benefit. In particular, for people with poor liver function and heart function, drinking ice water often triggers acute and dramatic disease, liver explosion, vomiting blood cases are not uncommon in the past.
Generally speaking, Chinese medicine doctors treat heatstroke or summer colds by warming the stomach and intestines, using medicine to expel cold from the body, restore normal internal circulation and adjust the body’s constitution. However, Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee suggested that if you feel stiff neck, headache, weakness and fatigue in summer, you should not play the role of a doctor and judge whether it is heat stroke or a cold. You should seek professional Chinese medicine to treat the right symptoms.
