Two tips to help you calm your nerves and soothe your heart when it’s hot!

In the summer, the weather is hot and humid, and the air is not circulating. Many people will feel chest tightness and heart discomfort, which can only be relieved by taking deep breaths. Some people suspect that there is something wrong with the heart, so what should they do if they feel chest tightness?

1. Pinch and rub the thenar

The area on the front of the palm from the base of the thumb to the heel, which is obviously protruding when the palm is stretched out, is medically called the thenar eminence. We use the tip of our thumb to pinch and rub the thenar eminence, using gravity to pinch it nine times. This strong stimulation can relieve the pressure on the heart and relieve the symptoms of chest tightness.

Because the Yuji point is located at the heart reflex zone of the palm, it can relieve sudden palpitations, angina pectoris, and chest tightness to a certain extent. It works all the time and can be said to be a "heart-saving pill" that you can carry with you.

2. Heart-nourishing tea

There has been a saying since ancient times that one should nourish the heart in summer. During the dog days of summer, the weather is hot and the daylight is longer, so people will inevitably become restless and irritable. It can easily make people nervous, and their psychology and emotions fluctuate. In addition, high temperature reduces the body's immune function. Even healthy people may experience symptoms such as irritability. So today I would like to recommend a nourishing tea to you, which can calm your emotions and maintain your heart.

Take 3g of vinegar bupleurum, 9g of rose, 9g of wolfberry, and 1g of mint. Put the medicinal materials into a sandbag, put it into a thermos cup, and drink it with boiling water. 3 times a week. You can add honey to taste when drinking. This scented tea has the effect of calming the mind, nourishing yin and nourishing the stomach. It is especially suitable for people who suffer from nightmares, palpitations and chest tightness at night.
