It is summer now. Because the weather is hot, people like to eat cold food, such as watermelon or cold drinks. If you eat this kind of food every day and your body is weak, it will definitely increase the moisture in your body, which will have a great impact on your health. In this case, there are ways to expel moisture from the body, and the following method is very feasible. Traditional Chinese medicine uses aromatic, diaphoretic and bitter-warming herbs as a magic weapon to remove dampness. Using plant aromas to fight infectious diseases is the wisdom of our ancestors. For example, people in the south carry mugwort and cattail with them to kill bacteria and prevent infection. Or during the Dragon Boat Festival in May when the weather warms up and bacteria and viruses are more likely to occur, every household hangs a handful of indigo, calamus and mugwort at the door, and then takes them down to use for bathing, with the intention of disinfecting the air and water. Modern pharmacology has also discovered that these aromatic plants do have antiviral effects, such as star anise, which is made into influenza vaccines. In addition, the hot and spicy ginger juice can induce sweating, which is most suitable for dispelling moisture from the body after being caught in the rain and preventing colds; the bitter and warm Chinese medicine ginger is like a slow-burning fire, slowly forcing out moisture from the body.
