At the dawn of the dog days, people who are outdoors should prevent heatstroke. Many people think of Huoxiang Zhengqi water at the first time. Professor Huang Suiping, the academic leader of the spleen and stomach discipline of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of traditional Chinese medicine, reminded that not all heatstrokes can use Huoxiang Zhengqi water. Using it incorrectly may be counterproductive. Before using it, you should first distinguish between Yang heatstroke and Yin heatstroke. Outdoor high heat dehydration, Yang summer is not suitable for use Many people have misunderstandings about when to use Huoxiang Zhengqi water. Huang Suiping reminded that in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, heatstroke is also divided into Yin heatstroke and Yang heatstroke. In the prescription of Huoxiang Zhengqi preparation, many components are warm and dispelling cold and dampness, and the overall prescription is slightly warm, so it is a drug for treating Yin heat rather than Yang heat. At present, what most people call heatstroke is heatstroke caused by sweating too much under high temperature and heat. This type is Yangshu, so it is not suitable to take Huoxiang Zhengqi drugs, otherwise it will aggravate the disease. At the same time, it is not suitable for throat swelling and pain caused by exogenous wind heat. In summer, it's cool to drink, and Yin and summer can be used Under what circumstances is Huoxiang Zhengqi water used? Huang Suiping said that in the most common summer, people are greedy for the cool and like the cold. The temperature difference between repeated access to the air-conditioned room is too large, or they are injured by eating too many cold drinks. For the Yin heat syndrome, Huoxiang Zhengqi water can be used to relieve the heat and damp. The so-called "those who suffer from Yin and heat are also those who suffer from cold due to heat." Yin summer heat is a disease that occurs due to improper cold drinking in summer, and cold evil invading the human muscle surface or internal organs. It is named Yin summer heat because it is cold in summer. Especially the elderly, children, infirm and people with chronic diseases are often prone to disease due to poor resistance and intolerance to cold and heat. The symptoms of yin and summer heat are related to cold and exogenous symptoms, which are often manifested as mental fatigue, fever, aversion to cold, no sweat, heavy body pain, and diarrhea, abdominal pain and joint pain caused by cold. The effect of Huoxiang Zhengqi water is to relieve exterior dampness, regulate qi and moderate. Therefore, it is more suitable for Yin and summer heat symptoms such as headache, chest tightness, nausea, fever and no sweat caused by exogenous wind cold and internal injury dampness and cold. tips： Can't drive after drinking Huoxiang Zhengqi water? What is the difference between Huoxiang Zhengqi pill, Huoxiang Zhengqi liquid and Huoxiang Zhengqi water? Huang Suiping said that these kinds of Chinese patent medicines belong to the prescription Huoxiang Zhengqi powder. They are all drugs for treating summer heat and dampness, and are not suitable for Yangshu. But specifically speaking, they also have different dosage forms and different time of efficacy. Huoxiang Zhengqi pill is a pill dosage form, which is convenient to carry, and its efficacy tends to be stable; Huoxiang Zhengqi water adds ethanol to Huoxiang Zhengqi pill, which can help it exert its efficacy faster. However, for people with "Yangshu" who are dehydrated at high temperature, the dehydration will be aggravated by alcohol, which will aggravate their condition. For drivers, although the alcohol content of Huoxiang Zhengqi water may not constitute drunk driving, it is also more recommended to choose non-alcoholic Huoxiang Zhengqi pills. (outlook new era)
