Shanghai has always had the custom of "wonton with tea". In the past, people used hot tea to relieve the heat. Modern science has also proved that drinking hot tea and warm tea can relieve summer heat better than drinking herbal tea. Fu Cha, as its name implies, is the tea that people drink in dog days. Legend has it that it began in the Southern Song Dynasty and flourished in the Qing Dynasty, but the exact date cannot be verified. Fu tea is generally drunk from the beginning of June to the end of August, which has the effect of cooling and dispelling summer heat. In hot summer, a cup a day can clear away heat and relieve summer heat.

The two major functions of Fu tea are clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, eliminating summer heat and eliminating dampness. Therefore, the formula of Fuzhuan tea should be adjusted according to the different climate every year. The recommended formula of Fu tea is: honeysuckle 10g, bamboo leaves 10g, Prunella vulgaris 15g, lotus leaves 10g, lentils 15g, Pogostemon rugosa 10g and Eupatorium odoratum 65438. The above formula is one dose, because it is not used for treatment, but as a tea substitute, which can be divided into two or three people a day.

As the saying goes, "it's hot in three volts", and it's hot in three volts in summer, which is also the hottest stage of the year.

The summer heat is divided into three periods: first, rotten grass becomes fireflies. In the summer heat, fireflies hatched, so the ancients mistakenly thought that fireflies were made of rotten grass. This season is also the best time to watch fireflies.

Second, wait for the summer when the soil is moist. The weather began to get sultry and the land was wet;

Just when it rains heavily. Thunderstorms often occur in summer solar terms, so everyone should pay attention to prevention when going out.

The hot climate is the easiest to hurt body fluid and consume gas, which makes people impetuous and has more dampness. Therefore, the most important content of TCM health care in summer solar terms is to clear away heat and relieve summer heat, clear the heart and nourish the heart, strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness.
