Moxibustion is a perfect match with it! From long summer to Sanfu, strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness, the disease in the body is swept away.

Summer is coming, and many people have started to cook mung bean soup at home. In fact, summer is a good time to drink ginger and jujube tea!

From long summer to Sanfu, drinking ginger jujube tea with moxibustion can not only strengthen the stomach and expel dampness, but also nourish blood and invigorate qi ... and sweep away all the sick qi in the body.

So, we must arrange for everyone in advance this year.

It's time to drink ginger jujube tea from long summer to Sanfu.

Why is it the best time to drink ginger jujube tea from long summer to the day before Sanfu? Because after a winter and a spring, people will accumulate more sick gas in their bodies.

summer is hot, the human body is open and the yang in the body is empty.

at this time, drinking a cup of ginger and jujube tea can not only replenish the deficiency of yang in the body to warm the middle warmer, but also help yang to disperse to expel cold. Just in line with the purpose of "nourishing yang in spring and summer" in Huangdi Neijing.

Moreover, the spleen and stomach are deficient and cold after hot weather, so summer will be more comfortable if ginger and jujube are used to replenish the spleen and stomach in advance.

in the compendium of materia medica, it is recorded that red dates: "tonify the middle energizer, replenish qi, nourish the spleen, moisten the heart and lungs, slow down yin and blood, promote body fluid production, delight the color, dredge nine orifices, assist twelve meridians, and harmonize hundreds of medicines".

red dates, as the folk saying goes, "three dates in an eclipse will not make you old when you are a hundred years old", and "five grains with red dates are better than ganoderma lucidum".

However, although red dates are good, they are sticky and not easy to digest. When we drink ginger jujube tea, we should try not to eat red dates inside, just drink water.

Jujube is mainly for invigorating qi, followed by enriching blood. When it is combined with ginger, it can contain the divergence of ginger.

Moreover, jujube can nourish the spleen and stomach. When the two are combined, ginger will not hurt the spleen and stomach, but will warm it.

what are the taboos of this tea? In addition to the relatively hot constitution, such as spleen and stomach heat, people with red lips, dry mouth, and five upset nerves can't drink ginger jujube tea.

people with severe cold and dampness in the lower energizer, such as uterine cold in women (leucorrhea is excessive and thin, and dysmenorrhea), kidney cold in men, stomach deficiency and chronic diarrhea, can often drink it; People who are not cold can also drink ginger jujube tea at this time.

recipe for making ginger jujube tea /2 cups

① materials: 6 red dates, 1 handful of medlar, 1 prickly ash and 4 slices of ginger.

don't peel the ginger, the amount of ginger should not be small, the boiled water should taste a little spicy, and the red dates should be pitted.

② practice: add appropriate amount of water and cook until it is light red.

Some people are afraid of cold, so they add more pepper to make pepper ginger jujube tea, which has a stronger effect of eliminating cold and dampness. If you don't like the taste of pepper, you can also remove it.

③ Reminder: Don't drink ginger jujube tea until the day before the dog days. Because after the dog days, the human body will sweat a lot. At this time, if you drink ginger jujube tea again, you will sweat all the time, but it will make your body more weak.

Jiangzao tea can dispel cold and dampness, and harmonize camp and health. Moxibustion friends who like to stay in air-conditioned rooms in summer suggest drinking until autumn when they don't need to turn on the air conditioner to "continue their lives".

drink ginger and jujube tea, remember to match it with moxibustion.

How can moxibustion be omitted?

Moxibustion is a green therapy of traditional Chinese medicine, which has been highly praised by all generations. The warm qi generated during moxibustion acts on acupuncture points on the surface of the human body and reaches the five zang-fu organs through meridians, which can supplement the yang for the body.

Dampness is one of the biggest evils in summer. If the spleen and stomach are not good in summer, people's health will become very poor, such as poor appetite, white and greasy tongue coating, diarrhea and other symptoms.

Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow and the source of qi and blood biochemistry. If the spleen and stomach are well conditioned and their functions are enhanced, then the body will be well transported.

Therefore, during the period from long summer to dog days, you must remember to strengthen the spleen and remove dampness.

Moxibustion points: Pi Shu, Wei Shu, Da Chang Shu, Xiao Chang Shu, Zhong Wan, Shui, Tian Shu and Zusanli.

adults hang moxibustion for 15-25 minutes, and moxibustion with moxibustion instrument for 4-5 minutes. Gradually extend, rest for 1~2 days a week.
