First, you need to understand what heatstroke is!
Heatstroke
It refers to an acute disease characterized by central nervous system and cardiovascular dysfunction, which occurs in an environment with high temperature or humidity and no ventilation due to dysfunction of the temperature regulation center or sweat gland function, as well as excessive loss of water and electrolytes.
From the perspective of western medicine, the key to heatstroke is to reduce body temperature as soon as possible, rest in a cool place, use a fan and cold water to cool down, use a wet towel or ice pack to cold compress the forehead and underarms, etc. Second, water and electrolytes should be added, such as oral rehydration salts, light salt water or sports drinks.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, Huoxiang Zhengqi water can only treat "Yin heat", but not "Yang heat".
01
"Yang summer heat": due to the high temperature in summer, long hours of outdoor work or long-distance travel, the heat and evil qi invade the body, and the healthy qi and body fluid are lost, resulting in dizziness, body heat, thirst, sweating, fatigue and other symptoms, similar to what western medicine calls "aura and mild heatstroke".
02
"Yin and summer heat": the human body is lack of healthy qi, and adopts the wrong way to relieve summer heat, such as using air-conditioning electric fans for a long time, flushing cold water when sweating, eating a lot of cold ice cream, etc., which leads to the feeling of yin and cold in summer, resulting in symptoms such as averse cold and fever, headache and body pain, no sweat and fatigue, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
