The most important impact of summer on the human body is heat and dampness. When heat and dampness invade the human body, they will cause the pores to open, excessive sweating, cause qi deficiency, and also cause spleen and stomach dysfunction and indigestion. Appropriate intake of cool vegetables is beneficial for promoting salivation and quenching thirst, relieving restlessness and relieving heat, clearing away heat and purging fire, and detoxifying and relieving constipation. Cucumber is a representative of cool vegetables. It has a high water content and is high in potassium and low in sodium. It is suitable for replenishing water and lost inorganic salts after people sweat a lot in the summer.

The ingredients of sour plum soup are black plum, hawthorn, osmanthus, licorice and rock sugar.

This soup can help digestion, promote qi and disperse blood stasis, promote the production of body fluids and quench thirst, restrain lung qi, relieve restlessness and calm the mind. Drinking it regularly can cure diseases, maintain health and strengthen the body. It has a good effect of relieving heat in hot summer.
