As we enter the peak of summer, rising temperatures continue to test people’s heat tolerance. No amount of iced drinks can fend off the overwhelming waves of heat that strike from time to time. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that “summer brings heat and dampness, making it suitable for light nourishment.” Internal heat should be guided out rather than blocked. The cooling effect achieved by dilating sweat glands to lower body surface temperature far surpasses that of iced tea. That’s why we’ve prescribed this “remedy”:2017The “Refreshing Yulin” Sand Music Festival, produced at the Shaanxi Yulin National Agricultural Science and Technology Demonstration Park, is best “taken”8in12(Saturday)-13(Sunday)—this specific time window. Given the intense daytime sun during Yulin’s midsummer, the organizers have specially scheduled the performances to start at17:00to accommodate music fans.
