How hot the recent day is, everyone has a deep understanding, walking outdoors is like being in a walking steaming box, everywhere feel that there is a "steaming" feeling in the world.
And the most desperate thing is that this is only a middle volt, and it will be tortured for some time to come.
It is this steamer-like weather that causes frequent news of heat stroke or heat stroke. And many people cope with the heat, mostly stay in a comfortable air-conditioned room, and people who have to be outdoors are always prepared with huoxiang zhengqi water, but when there is a little bit of dizziness, gastrointestinal discomfort symptoms, first drink a bottle to prevent heat stroke.
In the hearts of many people, Huoxiang Zhengqi water is a universal antidote to heat, "business scope" in addition to heat prevention, including but not limited to the treatment of mosquito bites, nail fungus, treatment of eczema prickly heat, treatment of motion sickness, foot soaking deodorization...
Regardless of whether these functions are reliable or not, the single theory of "relieving heat" is a big mistake, high temperature heat stroke with huoxiang positive gas water, but will "add fuel to the fire" and aggravate heat stroke!
sunstroke
Heat stroke is caused by body temperature metabolism disorders in a high temperature environment, the occurrence of dehydration, electrolyte loss, heat dissipation disorders and a series of adverse conditions in the human body, light cause dizziness, fatigue, thirst, headache, sweating, redness, increased body temperature, etc., severe cases will appear shock, convulsions, coma and other symptoms, and the most serious heat stroke is called "heat stroke", that is, high temperature caused by the body temperature regulation central dysfunction, and eventually lead to death.
Therefore, the most important step after heat stroke is to reduce body temperature as soon as possible, such as fanning the wind quickly, cooling down with cool water, coldly applying a damp cool towel or ice pack to the forehead and armpits, and then replenishing water and electrolytes, such as light salt water or sports drinks.
Because of its high alcohol content, about 40% to 50%, it is obvious that it cannot replenish water and electrolytes, and alcohol will also aggravate the dehydration of human cells. In other words, if a person with heat stroke drinks Huoxiang Zhengqi water, not only can not alleviate the symptoms, but may aggravate the symptoms.
From the perspective of Traditional Chinese medicine, the symptomatic symptom of Huoxiang Zhengqi water is summer injury and damp heat, which is "yin and summer", such as symptoms such as air conditioning blowing too much, nausea, dizziness caused by frequent entry and exit of air conditioning rooms, or too long in a hot and humid environment, resulting in gastrointestinal disharmony. Heat stroke belongs to the "Yang Heat", the patient's most need for rehydration, cooling, at this time to take Huoxiang Zhengqi water, will consume people's fluids, divergence of qi and blood, thereby aggravating the disease.
Huoxiang zhengqi water is really not a panacea, look at its instruction manual, you will find that its main effect is hot days and moisture caused by fever, chest tightness, bloating, vomiting, and excessive wetness caused by nausea and vomiting, that is, summer wet cold.
In addition, it also has a certain effect on soil and water incompatibility, motion sickness, Meniere syndrome (vertigo, tinnitus, deafness), pediatric indigestion, eczema, mosquito bites, chronic urticaria, tinea pedis, pediatric prickly heat, etc.
However, Huoxiang Zhengqi water is not ready to drink at any time, because of its high alcohol content, the medicinal effect is also relatively rapid, alcohol allergies, the elderly, pregnant women, children are best not to take it casually.
Especially for pregnant women, in addition to alcohol, its ingredients also contain aromatic Chinese medicines such as herbs, tangerine peel, magnolia, etc., which may seriously cause miscarriage.
At the same time, it also has some other contraindications, such as do not take with cephalosporin drugs, because the alcohol contained in it may meet with the chemical components in the cephalosporin to cause poisoning, manifested as shortness of breath and sweating, dizziness and headache, vomiting, heart rate, breathing difficulties, etc., and even shock and impaired consciousness, also known as disulfiram-like reaction.
Patients with chronic diseases such as hypertension and patients who are being treated should not drink Huoxiang Zhengqi water without authorization, and if you want to drink it, you must consult a doctor.
All in all, Huoxiang Zhengqi does have many functions, but it is not a panacea, especially the deep-rooted anti-heat stroke effect in many people's cognition, which is everyone's misinterpretation, and for some people, it should be forbidden to take caution.
