A simple summer health soup to 'fuel' your heart
Xia Sanyue, this is called Fanxiu. Heaven and earth are harmonious, and all things are beautiful. Lying down at night and getting up early, never tire of the sun, make the mind free of anger, make Hua Ying beautiful, make the anger vent, as if the love is outside. This response to summer qi is the way to grow up. If you go against it, you will be sad. In autumn, there will be malaria, and there will be few recipients. The winter solstice is seriously ill. —— "Plain Questions: The Great Theory of the Four Atmospheric Conditions"
There are three months in summer, which can be called a lush and beautiful season. The air of heaven and earth intersects up and down, and various plants bloom and bear fruit. At this time, it is advisable to go to bed late and get up early, so as not to be tired of the long days, so that the mind will be quiet and free from anger, the divine light will be full and bright, and the yang energy will be opened and vented, as if there is love outside. This is the way for human beings to correspond with Xia Qi and maintain long Qi. Violation of this rule will damage the heart qi, malaria may occur in autumn, and the ability to adapt to receiving qi will be reduced. Serious illnesses can occur when winter arrives.
I don’t know if I have any friends recently. I always feel very uncomfortable, dizzy for no reason, and my body always feels tired and sleepy. These conditions will be attributed to heat stroke, in fact, more attention should be paid to whether the heart is weak.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "spring nourishes the liver, summer nourishes the heart, autumn nourishes the lungs, and winter nourishes the kidneys", so there is a saying that "the heart communicates with summer qi".
During the year, summer belongs to fire, which corresponds to the heart. In summer, the temperature is high, the air humidity is high, the metabolism of the human body is accelerated, and the blood circulation is also accelerated, which will increase the burden on the heart.
Especially after falling into ambush, it is the "high incidence period" of heart disease. This time period is the most sultry time of the year. The heat will consume qi and hurt yin, sweating too much, and the qi will be lost with sweat, which will aggravate the symptoms of qi deficiency. Therefore, people with insufficient heart qi will have heart palpitations and shortness of breath.
Chinese medicine believes that qi and blood are mutual. When the heart is qi deficient, blood deficiency may also occur, and heart qi deficiency may develop into heart yang deficiency.
Therefore, while nourishing the heart in summer, we must also pay attention to nourishing yang, nourishing yin and promoting body fluid!
Today, Populus euphratica recommends to everyone a health-preserving soup that promotes blood circulation, calms the heart and nourishes qi and nourishes yin——San Shen Bao Xin Decoction, which is a dietary prescription suitable for nourishing the heart in summer, and is also very suitable for conditioning after heart valve surgery .

Salvia miltiorrhiza, Radix Pseudostellariae, and American ginseng are three pillars, each occupying one side, with lean pork, nourishing yin and Qi, invigorating blood and nourishing the heart, and can also care for your little heart in summer~
Danshen
Bitter in the mouth, slightly cold in nature, enters the Heart and Liver Channels.
When it comes to Danshen, the first reaction is to think of Compound Danshen Dripping Pills, which is a commonly used medicine for treating angina pectoris of coronary heart disease.
Salvia miltiorrhiza promotes blood circulation and relieves pain, removes blood stasis and promotes regeneration. It has a mild effect and promotes blood circulation without harming the body. It is an important medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. It is also good at cooling the blood to the heart and dispelling irritability and calming the nerves. It is used to treat irritability and internal heat disturbing the heart caused by febrile disease and heat entering the camp blood, and then produce symptoms such as palpitations and insomnia.
Danshen can dilate coronary arteries and improve myocardial ischemia. If the elderly in the family suffer from coronary heart disease, they can drink boiled water with Danshen, which can also nourish blood and soothe the nerves. However, Danshen is cold in nature, so it is not recommended to take it for a long time, as it may cause stomach discomfort.
Pseudostellaria
Sweet in taste, slightly bitter, flat in nature, enters the spleen and lung meridians. Gong Shan Yi Qi invigorates the spleen, promotes body fluid and nourishes the lungs.
When it comes to this, some friends may ask: Isn't this nourishing soup? This prince ginseng has nothing to do with the heart?
You have to pay attention, although Radix Pseudostellariae has nothing to do with the heart, but at this time, the heat will consume Qi and damage the Yin, so we can’t just pursue nourishing the Heart, of course, we must also add some medicinal materials that nourish Qi and Yin in moderation, or add some Ophiopogon japonicus is also a good choice.
American Ginseng
Sweet, slightly bitter, cool in nature. Go into lung, heart, kidney channel.
American ginseng is described in "Medical Hearts of Chinese Ginseng and Western Records": "It can supplement qi and blood, and it can be used for its coolness. Anyone who wants to use ginseng without the warming effect of ginseng can replace it. "American ginseng can not only nourish qi and nourish yin, but also clear away heat and produce body fluid. It is really a good product for clearing and tonifying.
