The weather is getting hotter. Why can honeysuckle be added to health care?

TCM pays attention to keeping in good health according to the time, which means that with the change of seasons and different environments, the way of keeping in good health also needs to be changed. As the outside temperature rises gradually, we need to use some' heat-clearing and detoxicating' Chinese herbal medicines for health preservation at this time. At this time, it can be said that it is very suitable to use honeysuckle for health preservation.

So why can we choose honeysuckle to keep healthy with the increase of the outside temperature? This should be analyzed from its medicinal value. Since ancient times, it has been regarded as the first choice medicine for clearing away heat and toxic materials by the Chinese medicine community. First, because it belongs to flower medicinal materials, its taste is relatively sweet and fragrant, and second, its efficacy is really obvious. The weather is getting hotter, so there are several advantages of choosing honeysuckle

1. Dispelling heat evil < P > With the change of the environment, the external heat evil is also changing gradually, and the external heat evil will be aggravated when the temperature gets higher. If our own immunity is low, or if the heat evil accumulates in the body for a time that cannot be evacuated, using honeysuckle can play a very good role in relieving it.

For example, if there are some common symptoms of wind-heat superficies in high temperature season, accompanied by fever, fear of cold, dry throat, and unbearable thirst, we can use some honeysuckle to soak in water, which is very helpful for dispersing wind-heat and alleviating various discomfort caused by wind-heat superficies.

2. Clearing away heat and detoxicating

Honeysuckle is sweet in taste, and its efficacy tends to be cold. It has a good purgative effect on some heat toxins, and when the temperature rises, people are most likely to accumulate some heat toxins in their bodies. This time is also very suitable for using honeysuckle to soak in water for health preservation.

For example, when the toxic heat in our body is serious, and the toxic heat accumulates at the time when the skin can't spread outside, some nameless redness, sores and furuncle are easy to appear inside and outside the skin. For this kind of situation, it can be effectively relieved by directly soaking some honeysuckle in water. In addition, we can also soak it in water with Flos Chrysanthemi Indici, Radix Isatidis, Herba Taraxaci, Herba Violae, etc., and its effect of clearing heat and detoxifying will be more obvious.

3. Relieve eczema

Damp evil is often accompanied by heat evil, which is what we often call damp-heat evil. When the body is hot and humid for a long time, many people will have some skin eczema, which can't be dissipated for a long time. It is also effective to use honeysuckle for health care in this kind of situation.

Besides, honeysuckle can be used for both internal and external use for skin eczema caused by damp heat. For internal use, it can be directly boiled in water instead of tea. For external use, you can dip some honeysuckle decoction with gauze and then wipe it or apply it externally to eczema, which can inhibit the appearance of eczema to a certain extent.

4. Clearing away summer heat

With the increase of temperature, many people will suffer from summer heat, and we can also choose to use honeysuckle to relieve summer heat. Because its taste is fragrant and sweet, its efficacy is cold and clear, which can effectively play the role of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat.

At present, many people use Honeysuckle Dew to cool off the summer heat in high fever season, and the effect is very good. In daily life, we can also make some honeysuckle tea for relieving summer heat.
