Summer heat is a diagnosis pattern found in Chinese Medicine to describe the effects of long-term heat and dampness on the body. Summer heat can create symptoms like fatigue thirst, insomnia, rashes, UTIs, crankiness and more. We offer cooling herbs, therapies and foods. Eating watermelon and drinking mint tea will cool you down. Staying in the shade, swimming, staying hydrated, eating cooling foods like cool soups and salad salads can help. At this time of year, it’s good to eat raw foods, as they are cooling to the body. If you’re experiencing summer heat, see your acupuncturist and alternative healthcare provider. Photo@Ketut-Subiyanto
