Xiao Shu

The Lesser Heat solar term is just before and after the first dog days. At this time, you can sense the rain before you hear the rustling of bamboos, and you can hear thunder after the mountain darkens. The windows are covered with deep green mist, and the steps and courtyards are covered with green moss.

During the Lesser Heat and Greater Heat, the heat is rising and the air is boiling. At this time, the Yang heat is declining, the air is fumigating, the water vapor is rising, the air is full of moisture, and the "heat and dampness" are reaching their peak. The evil of summer heat and dampness can easily enter the body from the outside when the skin pores are open, blocking the Qi, consuming body fluids, damaging the Yang Qi, and causing heat stroke, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and intestinal infectious diseases. How to maintain health at this time? Chinese medicine will highlight the key points for everyone!
