How to prevent autumn dryness from damaging body fluids during Cold Dew?

The climate is dry during the Autumnal Equinox, and dryness can easily damage the lungs, causing symptoms such as chapped skin and lips, dry mouth and throat, dry and hard stools, and cough with little sputum. In terms of diet, in addition to drinking more water and eating more fresh vegetables and fruits, you should also eat more foods that have the effects of moistening the lungs, promoting fluid production, nourishing yin and moistening dryness, such as pears, water chestnuts, sugarcane, etc.
When reducing "heat" in autumn, you must pay attention to distinguishing the parts, so as to ensure the effect. Generally speaking, Chinese medicine divides "fire" into three categories according to the three burners of the human body:
01 Upper Jiao Fire <br /> Traditional Chinese medicine calls the symptoms of heat in the upper part of the body, such as dizziness and sore throat, "Upper Jiao Fire". It is recommended to eat lily, wolfberry and mung bean soup.
"Lily, wolfberry and mung bean soup" has the effect of nourishing yin and reducing heart fire.
Ingredients: 20 grams of wolfberry, 20 grams of dried lily, and 20 grams of mung bean. Appropriate amount of white sugar.
Preparation method: Put the washed lilies, wolfberries and mung beans into a pot, add 5 bowls of water and bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat until the mung beans bloom and the lilies are soft, add sugar to taste, turn off the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
02 Middle Jiao Fire <br /> Traditional Chinese medicine calls the middle part of the body, such as fever, thirst, and stomach pain, "Middle Jiao Fire". It is recommended to eat cucumber porridge.
"Cucumber porridge" has the effect of preventing and treating symptoms such as bad breath caused by excessive stomach fire and liver fire.
Ingredients: 50 grams of cucumber, 100 grams of rice.
Method: Peel and slice the cucumber, cook it with rice into porridge, and eat with meals.
03 Lower Jiao Fire <br /> Traditional Chinese medicine calls constipation, dark urine and other symptoms in the lower part of the body "lower Jiao Fire". The recommended method is to massage two acupoints.
In addition to diet therapy to reduce "heat", acupoint massage can also "reduce heat". Here we introduce two acupoints that can help deal with the "lower burner fire" that is often overlooked, such as constipation and yellowish urine caused by "large intestine fire" due to lack of water.
The first one is Zhaohai Point. Located on the inner side of the foot, in the depression below the tip of the medial malleolus. When pressing, you will feel soreness, numbness and swelling. The time should not be too long, 5-10 minutes is enough.
The second is Yongquan acupoint. This point is the first point of the kidney meridian. It is located in the front third of the sole of the foot (excluding toes), exactly in the middle of the line connecting the two sides of the foot. Place your thumb on the acupoint and rub it with strong force for 20-30 times, then change feet. It is better to massage in the morning and before going to bed.
