✨The secret is … drinking hot water! In Traditional Chinese Medicine, drinking hot water in summer follows the principle of “using heat to dispel heat.” Hot water helps the body in several ways:
• Promotes circulation and releases heat
Hot water warms the stomach and spleen, supports qi and blood flow, and encourages gentle sweating to expel internal heat.
• Protects digestion
Cold drinks can weaken the spleen and stomach, causing bloating or poor appetite. Hot water is easier on digestion.
• Balances internal and external temperatures
Summer yang energy rises while the interior may remain cool. Hot water helps maintain balance and prevents “external heat, internal cold.”

TCM emphasizes adjusting practices according to the person, season, and environment:
• People with damp-heat constitutions should avoid overly hot water to prevent discomfort.
• Those working outdoors or sweating heavily should replenish with room-temperature lightly salted water.
• People with weak digestion should sip slowly to avoid overloading the stomach.
• Daily water intake should be close to body temperature to avoid extreme thermal stress.
