Great Summer Season

The summer summer is the last solar term of summer, and it is also the hottest period of the year.

"Moon Order Seventy -two Emperor Collection Solution" said: "Great summer, mid -June. Summer, heat, is also divided into size in the heat, the early month is small, the middle of the month is large, and the hot gas is also the same."

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the evil spirits in this solar term are mainly heat and wet evil.

Summer evils invade the human body and lead to fever, and the human body is prone to symptoms such as fever, thirst, and dry stool.

If the spleen and stomach are trapped, people will have the symptoms of loss of appetite and thick tongue coating; wet evil is trapped in limbs and muscles, and people will easily produce a sense of weight loss. Essence
