A bowl of three-dog soup will make up for the deficiency of qi and blood in the first half of the year, and now is the right time to drink it!

Dog days are the hottest and saddest time of the year, but they're also the best time to stay healthy.

The heat is pressing, no appetite, no energy, big temper, and can't sleep, which has become a common problem for everyone. Dog days are even hotter.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that summer heat is the most harmful to people's righteous qi. When the temperature is high, the human body sweats a lot, and the righteousness in the body also goes out with sweat. Sweat is fluid, and sweating too much will cause a deficiency of qi and jin. There is also a lot of rain in Futian, and dampness affects the movement of the spleen and stomach, resulting in spleen qi deficiency and weakened digestive function.


In addition, the heart is hot in summer, and the lungs will be suppressed. Therefore, there is no disease in one summer. That's it. If you want to support the righteousness of the human body, you must make up for it on dog days.
