Some people say that you cannot take Chinese medicine in summer because it will make us get angry, but is there any basis for this statement? Let’s find out together, is it true that the rumor about taking Chinese medicine can cause getting a sore throat is true? Let’s take a look at whether taking Chinese medicine in summer will cause internal heat?

"Traditional Chinese medicine can be divided into cold, hot, warm and cool. Some Chinese medicines can clear away heat and reduce internal fire when taken in summer. Some patients have excessive internal fire and need to take Chinese medicines that can reduce internal fire. Chinese medicines that can reduce internal fire will only have the effect of reducing internal fire even if taken in summer, and will not cause internal heat as everyone says." Chinese medicine practitioners say that there are many Chinese medicines suitable for summer, such as Huanglian Qingxin Decoction and Sangxing Decoction, which both have the effect of clearing away heat and reducing internal fire.

However, some tonic Chinese medicines may indeed cause internal heat if taken improperly in summer, so it is recommended to follow the doctor's advice. But this does not mean that you cannot take tonic Chinese medicine in summer. "If you have a weak and cold constitution, you also need to take tonic medicine according to your condition. We recommend that no matter what kind of constitution you have, whether it is summer or other seasons, you should not mix Chinese medicine on your own. The best way is to follow the doctor's advice." Chinese medicine practitioners suggest.

It is best to steam Chinese medicine when heating it. In the hot summer, everyday dishes will quickly spoil if not properly stored. So how should Chinese medicine be stored and how long can it be stored? "Whether it's dishes or liquid Chinese medicine, the higher the temperature, the easier it is to spoil. Chinese medicines with different ingredients take different times to deteriorate. Some Chinese medicines after decoction contain Chinese medicines with relatively high sugar content, such as astragalus, or the decoction has a high starch content. Such Chinese medicines will deteriorate faster than other Chinese medicines." Chinese medicine practitioners said that current Chinese medicine decoction can be divided into two types: machine decoction and manual decoction. Compared with manual decoction, machine-decoctioned Chinese medicine is vacuum-packed and can be stored for a relatively longer time, but it is not recommended to store it for too long in the hot summer. It is recommended that hand-decoction of traditional Chinese medicine be stored in the refrigerator for no more than 7 days.
