The pure (usable) fluids are sent to the lungs, and the impure (unusable) fluids are directed to the intestines. When there is dysfunction in the spleen channel, the fluids are not transformed and transported correctly, which leads to EDEMA.<\/p>\n<p>Summerheat is a common condition in Chinese medicine which presents when someone has been overly exposed to the sun.

In western medical thinking, an extreme case of summerheat, may be seen as sunstroke. The underlying cause is exposure to hot, summer weather.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">So, you may be wondering what Chinese herb I prescribed to my patients? It was WATERMELON!<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Xi gua, watermelon fruit, is listed in the Materia Medica as the best, single herb to relieve summerheat. Because watermelon is sweet, bland and cold, it clears heat from both the lung and stomach. Additionally, it resolves summerheat, relieves irritability, stops thirst, and increases urination. Most Chinese herbs are not pleasant tasting. Who doesn&#8217;t enjoy a nice cold piece of watermelon? This is one herb that tastes great and works BEST when eaten fresh or made into juice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Now is the time to educate your patients. Teach them that eating watermelon all summer long is a PREVENTATIVE measure to avoid symptoms of summerheat. They will love you for sharing this great little &#8216;ancient Chinese secret.&#8217; Your patients will love you AND you just might be the topic of conversation all around town as people sit around enjoying their WATERMELON.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Have a great day!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/ThompsonKimberly2017-IMG-2446-Social-Media-Crop-Leap-Photography.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18887\" src=\"https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/ThompsonKimberly2017-IMG-2446-Social-Media-Crop-Leap-Photography-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"228\" height=\"228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/ThompsonKimberly2017-IMG-2446-Social-Media-Crop-Leap-Photography-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/ThompsonKimberly2017-IMG-2446-Social-Media-Crop-Leap-Photography-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/ThompsonKimberly2017-IMG-2446-Social-Media-Crop-Leap-Photography-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/ThompsonKimberly2017-IMG-2446-Social-Media-Crop-Leap-Photography-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/ThompsonKimberly2017-IMG-2446-Social-Media-Crop-Leap-Photography-660x660.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/ThompsonKimberly2017-IMG-2446-Social-Media-Crop-Leap-Photography.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 228px) 100vw, 228px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/kimberly_sig1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"kimberly_sig\" src=\"http:\/\/www.miridiatech.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/kimberly_sig1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"230\" height=\"62\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kimberly Thompson, L.Ac.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>kimberly@miridiatech.com<\/p>\n<p><em>Acupuncture Research Analyst<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, I sent almost all of my patients home with the SAME herbal prescription.
