Luffa to clear heat and slim down
Luffa is an important heat-relieving vegetable to consume during summer. The more common variety in Hong Kong is angular luffa (another type of luffa is cylindrical in shape). A premium-grade angular luffa normally has clear angular edges, meets a certain weight requirement, and is compact.
From the perspective of Chinese Medicine, luffa is cool in nature, and it can clear heat and toxins from the body. Its fibers can also promote the circulation of the meridians, clear heat, clear phlegm, induce urination, and relieve edema. Hence, it is suitable for individuals who are plump in size and have a damp heat body constitution. Consuming an appropriate amount of luffa can also help with weight loss.
Consider eating luffa during summer (based on our body constitution), as it can help relieve heat-related symptoms such as dry mouth, cough, phlegm, and smelly vaginal discharge. Luffa, on the other hand, is good for pregnant mothers or mothers who have just delivered their babies, as the vegetable is good for the fetus and can increase milk flow.
Luffa - cold in nature, it clears heat and removes toxins, reduces phlegm, stabilizes pregnancy and aids lactation. When taken appropriately, it can relieve summer-related symptoms such as dry mouth, cough with yellow phlegm, alleviate high volume of vaginal discharge or discharge that has strong odor, and improve postpartum lactation difficulty.
Luffa pith - mild in nature, it can improve the Meridian’s circulation, promote diuresis to relieve bloating.
Tea remedy to clear summer heat
Effects: Clears heat and dispels dampness. Relieves heat stroke, excessive sweating and fatigue.
Ingredients: 10g luffa pith, 10g lotus leaves, 9g radix ophiopogonis, rock sugar to taste
Preparation: Rinse all ingredients thoroughly and place into thermos, rinse with hot water once. Then add in hot water again and steep for 15-20 minutes. Add an appropriate amount of rock sugar and mix until it melts. You can re-brew this tea until its flavor weakens. For best results, drink consecutively for 2-3 days. Two weeks for a treatment.

【夏天症狀】哪些人容易反覆中暑?
⭐在高溫下活動要量力而為
⭐過度疲勞與睡眠不足都容易中暑
#星期一踢走BlueMonday
容易中暑的體質
夏天驕陽似火,曬一曬就大汗淋漓,有些人更見頭暈眼花、胸悶噁心、呼吸困難,瀕臨中暑邊緣!當身體機能未能有效調節體溫便會中暑,為甚麼有些人特別容易中暑呢?中醫理論認為以下三類體質人士要當心:
🤒 熱性體質
體質性偏熱人士常見眼乾目赤、口乾、尿少色偏黃、大便偏乾易便秘等症狀,體熱再加上暑熱就熱上加熱,增加中暑風險。
宜:清熱消暑,適量食用西瓜、哈密瓜、冬瓜、苦瓜等,適量飲用消暑茶療。
🤒 體虛人士
天氣炎熱,流汗增多會增加心肺負擔,氣虛與陰虛體質人士本身容易出現「自汗」(靜止時出汗)及「盜汗」(睡眠出汗,睡醒汗止),流汗過多會耗損心氣,受熱後更容易感到疲倦不適。
宜:氣虛人士宜補氣固表,適量食用北芪、黨參、太子參等食材;陰虛人士宜養陰,適量食用雪耳、花旗參、蜂蜜等食材。
🤒 濕重人士
濕度高天氣令人感覺更加熱,體內濕重人士情況一樣,他們的汗液較黏,脾虛以致無法把水份順利排出體外,有礙身體散熱,自然較易中暑。
宜:健脾祛濕,每日飲用米水,適量食用薏米、白扁豆、赤小豆等食材。
✔️CheckCheckCin 美茶推介:熱氣

Which body constitutions are prone to heatstroke?
The scorching sun during summer causes us to sweat buckets, and some might experience dizziness, chest tightness, breathing difficulties, and even heatstroke! When the body fails to regulate the temperature in time, we can get a heatstroke.
Why are certain people prone to heatstroke? According to the Chinese Medicine theories, individuals with these three body constitutions need to be more mindful of the overheating condition.
🤒 Individuals with heat in the body
These individuals always experience dry eyes and dry mouth. Their urine is often yellow in color, their stools are normally dry, and they have constipation problems. When individuals with a hot body constitution are exposed to the summer heat, it is almost like adding fuel to the fire. This would increase their chances of developing a heatstroke.
To do: clear the summer-heat by eating watermelon, honeydew, winter gourd, and bitter gourd. Drinking herbal tea can also help cool down the body.
🤒 Individuals with a weak body constitution
Excessive sweating during summer will increase the burden of the lungs. Qi-deficient and yin-deficient individuals tend to sweat even when they are inactive or sleeping. Sweating profusely can damage qi in the heart, and the heat can lead to fatique
To do: qi-deficient individuals should replenish qi and strengthen the body by consuming Astragalus root, Codonopsis root, and Pseudostellaria heterophylla root; yin-deficient individuals should nourish yin by consuming an appropriate amount of snow fungus, American ginseng, and honey.
🤒 Individuals with accumulated dampness in the body
The humid weather makes us feel warm, and the same goes for individuals with accumulated dampness in the body. Their sticky sweat and weak spleen inevitably cause fluid to stagnate in the body. This would limit their ability to dissipate heat from the body, hence, increasing their chances of becoming heatstroke victims.
To do: strengthen the spleen and dispel ampness from the body by drinking rice water daily and consuming coix seed, white hyacinth bean, and rice bean.
✔️CheckCheckCin Healing Tea Recommendation: Very hot (qi)
Ingredients: Plumeria, chrysanthemum bud, spreading hedyotis
Effects: Clears heat and detoxifies. Relieves bad breath, frequent eye discharge, red and dry eyes, frequent loss of temper, scanty or yellowish urine.
✔ CheckCheckCin Recommendation: Dampness
Ingredients: Rice bean, black eyed bean, hyacinth bean coat
Effects: Strengthens the spleen and dispels dampness. Relieves fatigue, tired even after adequate sleep, heaviness in limbs and edema.
✔ Recommendation: Dawn Rice Water
Ingredients: Red Rice, Coix Seed, White Rice
Effects: Suitable for the whole family to enhance physical wellbeing, especially those with a weak digestive system or with a phlegm and dampness body type.

【痕癢又發作】不少人都忽略要戒飲品
⭐紓緩濕疹由飲食做起
⭐每日一杯米水養好脾胃
#星期六隻眼閉
皮膚痕癢有原因
濕疹、風疹或皮膚敏感甚至暗瘡患者發作時痕癢難當,忍不住不斷抓,甚至抓到皮破流血,真是有苦自己知。明明已經乖乖戒口,盡量避開發物,痕癢還是不斷發作?除了注意食物,有檢視過平日的飲品選擇嗎?從中醫角度來看,濕疹、皮膚敏感等症狀與脾虛有密切關係,香港人常喝的咖啡、奶茶都會加重濕疹症狀,不想痕到懷疑人生,就要忍一忍口了。
容易引致皮膚敏感痕癢的飲品:
☠️咖啡 — 屬性偏溫,具利尿作用,過量飲用會傷陰, 加速皮膚乾燥,令病情惡化。
☠️奶茶 — 紅茶性溫,牛奶滋膩,會影響脾胃消化功能,令水濕積聚體內,鬱而化熱,加重皮膚痕癢情況。
☠️牛奶 — 有補益的作用,如體內有濕者飲用會增加脾胃負擔,濕從內生,令皮膚問題惡化。
☠️啤酒 — 性溫,能散寒氣,有活血功效,但要注意啤酒並沒有清熱作用,更會積聚濕氣,冷飲更屬生冷食物,加重病情。
☠️凍飲 — 低於室溫的凍飲都屬生冷食物,容易生痰生濕,以致脾虛濕盛,令皮膚痕癢纏綿不癒。

Why does our skin itch?
The itch caused by eczema, rubella, sensitive skin and even acne can be unbearable, and very often, we cannot resist the urge from scratching it. Sometimes, compulsive scratching can even cause bleeding. We might have controlled our diet and avoided certain food, but why does our skin still itch?
Other than the food we eat, have we also paid attention to the beverages we drink? From the perspective of Chinese Medicine, eczema and sensitive skin are closely associated with the weakness of the spleen. The coffee and milk tea Hong Kong citizens enjoy can further exacerbate the condition. If we want to avoid feeling itchy from time to time, we have to be mindful of the beverages we take as well.
Drinks that might easily cause sensitive skin to itch:
☠️ Coffee – warm in nature and has a diuretic effect. Excessive consumption of coffee can damage the yin and dehydrate the skin, causing our skin to itch.
☠️ Milk tea – red tea is warm in nature, whereas milk is thick in nature and has a high satiety effect; can affect the digestive functions of the spleen and stomach. Dampness will then stagnate, causing the body to have excess heat. This will then exacerbate the itching on the skin.
☠️ Milk – has nourishing properties; the spleen and stomach of people with dampness in the body will have to work extra hard if these individuals consume milk. Inevitably, dampness would continue to stagnate in the body, worsening the existing skin problem.
☠️ Beer – warm in nature, can dispel cold and invigorate the blood. Please note that drinking beer does not dissipate the heat. On the contrary, it might cause dampness to accumulate in the body. Drinking it cold can cause the itch to become more severe.
☠️Cold beverages – any cold drinks that are below the room temperature are raw and cold food. Consuming raw and cold food can induce phlegm and dampness, hence, weakening the spleen and causing dampness to stagnate in the body. This is how itchy skin becomes a never-ending problem.
