10 Natural Tips to Maintain Heart and Small Intestine Health in Summer

Taking care of the health of your heart and small intestine during the summer is essential for maintaining physical and emotional balance. In this article, we will present 10 natural tips based on Traditional Chinese Medicine to help maintain the health of these vital organs. Enjoy the summer and promote a healthy and fulfilling life by taking care of your heart and small intestine.

Refreshing Diet: Opt for a light and refreshing diet, rich in natural and nutritious foods. Include fresh seasonal fruits such as watermelon, cantaloupe, and pineapple, which have hydrating properties and help balance internal heat. Also, consume leafy green vegetables such as lettuce, arugula, and watercress, which are rich in fiber and important nutrients for intestinal health.

Adequate Hydration: Stay hydrated during the summer by drinking enough water. Water is essential for regulating body temperature and ensuring the proper functioning of the heart and small intestine. In addition to water, you can opt for refreshing beverages such as unsweetened herbal teas, coconut water, and natural fruit juices.

Avoid Processed and Greasy Foods: Avoid excessive consumption of processed, fried, and greasy foods, as they can overload the digestive system and lead to problems such as indigestion and toxin buildup. Prefer fresh, natural foods prepared simply, avoiding heavy seasonings and sauces.

Moderate Exercise: Engage in moderate physical exercise during the summer. Walking outdoors, swimming, practicing yoga, or tai chi chuan are activities that promote energy circulation in the body, strengthening the heart and stimulating healthy digestion. Avoid strenuous exercises under scorching sun, as this can strain the heart.

Stress Management: Find ways to manage daily stress, as chronic stress can negatively affect the heart and small intestine. Practice relaxation techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, and massage. Take time for yourself, seeking moments of tranquility and introspection.

Enjoy the Sun in Moderation: While the sun is beneficial for vitamin D synthesis, it is important to enjoy it in moderation and during appropriate hours to avoid skin damage and the risk of dehydration. Use sunscreen, hats, and lightweight clothing to protect yourself from ultraviolet rays and stay hydrated.

Get Sufficient Sleep: Adequate sleep is crucial for the health of the heart and small intestine. During the summer, create a conducive sleep environment with a cool and well-ventilated space. Avoid the use of electronic devices before sleep, as the blue light emitted by these devices can interfere with sleep quality. Seek deep and revitalizing sleep, allowing your body to recover and regenerate.

Acupuncture and Herbal Therapy: Consider consulting a Traditional Chinese Medicine professional for acupuncture sessions and guidance on the use of herbal medicines. Acupuncture helps balance the energy of the heart and small intestine, promoting relaxation and symptom relief. Herbs such as chrysanthemum flower and peppermint can be beneficial for heart and digestive health.

Limit Caffeine and Alcohol: During the summer, it is important to limit excessive consumption of caffeine and alcohol, as they can negatively affect the heart and small intestine. Moderate consumption of coffee and alcohol is acceptable, but it is important to keep in mind healthy limits and opt for more natural and less stimulating alternatives.

Consult a Qualified Healthcare Professional: Always remember to seek the guidance of a qualified Traditional Chinese Medicine professional for an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment according to your individual needs. Each person is unique and may have specific conditions that require specialized attention.

Taking care of the heart and small intestine during the summer is a way to promote a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle. By adopting these natural tips, you will strengthen these vital organs, balance the body's energy, and enjoy vibrant health.

Enjoy the summer consciously and take care of yourself, allowing yourself to enjoy all the benefits that the season has to offer.

Hello hello everybody! It is time for another months progress, and I am so excited to share with you, all the things I have gotten my grimy little gremlin hands on. First off, what we are all here for; writing. I have been on fire, to be honest! Last month I churned through the last of the first batch of erotica stories (there's 6 (!!!) of them on my patreon already) and set them up for publishing along with two more unseen ones- I'm still going over the logistics of where to publish for the best revenue (I know this sounds boring, but I have to make an income somehow, and hopefully find another audience as a smut writer on other platforms 💀 I love writing it so why not!), and I am making headway, learning the ins and outs of self publishing. On patreon, there are also two Q&A's that are written in a bit more fictional manner, in character: a more fun way than just writing answers straight up and down. I have enjoyed those so much! There's a bunch of other stuff I haven't even mentioned- honestly, I have to say, I'm really proud of my output on Patreon even though I have been really anxious about writing full time. It's going great! I have to thank my new friends and support-network on discord; you make this all worth it. I cannot express how fun it is to shoot the shit with you in vc, gaming together, or seeing your shenanigans in gen or your in depth theories (thanks for the brainworms!) or memes or staring longingly at the fanfic channel or drooling over your art (ouro related or not) or... Gah. You are just amazing people, and I will waste no opportunity in saying so. Thank you forever and ever and ever an-

When it comes to OUROBOROS, I am happy to announce that the next chapter is damn near done! I was halted because of the discovery that dashingdon is no longer supported by it's creator, and have been working on the twine version ever since, earlier than I expected- it's tough work, but I am so excited to make this an actual game made entirely by myself, and not submitting to a company that quite frankly leaves a bitter aftertaste. It is taking long to make because I want to make it mobile compatible from the start, which there isn't a lot of resources for. But I'm doing my best! The plan is that I will be posting the next chapter for Patreons in the coming month, and then treat you to a full twine release here on tumblr. I haven't made any rewrites when porting the twine build, but I would like to do that too... so we will see; this plan is not set in stone. I will just have to see how it evolves over the next month. Yes, beta-readers is still on the schedule, just holding off a little while while I wrap my head around this new coding landscape.

Other than that, I have been working on the set aesthetic for ouro, which has been really hard, a lot harder than I expected. You all know I am no wizard when it comes to graphic design, but I want to at least develop a set palette and imagery and portraits that is cohesive to the story. The work is ongoing, and I don't have much to say about it- even though it is taking a lot of my brain power. I'm hoping I can come to some kind of set and in depth conclusion that I am happy with before the twine release, because I want the game to feel like a treat to open up and play; a world to get lost in.

That's it! If you want to see weekly and more in depth dev-logs, you know where to go. I hope you have an amazing day or night, and we will see each other soon. xx

Augh

may i have some more details about physical illness baldwin could suffer? exhaustion, unconsciousness, etc. since your post about sarmenti's irrational anger at his illness inspired me quite a lot, and more detail is better here!! he's so stalwart and strong in soul, i want to contrast the worst of his ailment against his unshakeable spirit

I had to write this on a google docs because there was just SO much text that doing it on a tumblr ask lowkey annoyed me. Sorry for any weird formatting issues or missing words!

I ended up writing this bible because I only realized later that you asked for general symptoms, and not ENL ones. Oh, well, I Italicized all the symptoms that are present in both leprosy and ENL, and just in case, I bolded and italicized the symptoms in ENL only.

Here’s the original thing I wrote!

If you are talking about that one post, I was talking about ENL / Type 2 lepra reaction specifically. My biggest mistake was never talking about leprosy reactions too much in-depth here, and it's partially because we don't know much about them! D: Despite being one of the most serious complications, we haven't explored why it exactly happens. (I know I say 'we don't know' alot about leprosy, but it's just because it's really really really hard to study it)

Leprosy reactions are some brief moments that the disease may develop new symptoms or become temporarily worse, we don't know what starts this, just that it's a type of hypersensitivity. (Which is what we call any blown-out-of-proportion immune reactions, allergies and autoimmune diseases are also hypersensitivities) These episodes are usually short (few days) but the longer and serious ones can last a month or two.

If I were to cite every single symptom during this episode + leprosy in general I'd be here forever, there's just so so sooo many!! But since you asked for the worst of the worst, here's the more severe + common ones. (I obviously cannot testify for myself that those are the worst symptoms because well, I probably will never catch leprosy, I'm quoting the ones where have been described as most life-threatening and the ones that are more inconvenient than others.)

The ADHD version: Amyloidosis (high amyloid count) - CKD (Chronic kidney disease)- Heart issues which may lead to heart failure - Fluid buildup in the limbs (especially the legs) Muscle issues- Muscle pain - Muscle weakness, trouble swallowing and chewing (Although it gets worse in ENL)

Bone issues- Severe bone pain, mostly on the longer bones like the tibia. Hip is also common but it’s more characteristic of any disease than leprosy-specific. (There are a lot of bone symptoms of general leprosy, but I don’t think any of them cause pain.)

Skin & nerves

-Painful nodules pop up throughout the entire skin, pressing on them is extremely painful. They may become pustules or necrotize. (Characteristic of ENL) - Nerve pain, usually worse at night time. Others - Overall malaise - Low to high fever, though if we are talking about ENL, it’s probably more to a high fever. High fever can make you delirious and confused. - Stuffy nose, trouble breathing. Something that haunts me is that dying suffocated to your own mucus/snot is not an uncommon death.- Headaches

The hyper fixated autistic version, in which I just yap about some specific details and add my jester x leper headcanons in the end. (just a complement to the ADHD version)

Full body pain We know that ENL is a type of hypersensitivity, which means that any tissue that has the leprosy bacteria in it becomes inflamed. If you’re having ENL, it probably means leprosy has you by the throat at this point, because it does not happen to any other leprosy types in which the bacteria population is small.

So muscles, nerves, eyes, bones, lymph nodes, skin, everything is invaded by millions of cells sending a shitload of chemical warfare. Inflammation is a destructive reaction, it helps you, but it is destructive in nature; Your immune system is not here to protect you, it’s here to destroy invading pathogens and it will do so by any means necessary. (Even killing you!) Not to mention, the body was already severely impaired before the invasion, a lot of people die during their ENL episodes because it just gets that bad, and if they recover, the damage is too severe to be healed.

All of this is extremely overwhelming to the body and to the person, everything gets swollen, pressing on those nerves that are already firing pain signals. I cannot state how excruciatingly painful all of this is. By the day, it can be something from low to mild pain but it becomes worse as the night falls, as it's usual with nerve pain.

So on top of all the pain, you have some muscle weakness. You can’t move or walk properly but laying down is also painful, trying to sleep becomes a challenge, it’s been noted that despite everything, most can only sleep very lightly. (When they can) A little trivia is that thalidomide, a drug originally used to help people sleep, can actually help in managing ENL. It was discovered when a doctor prescribed it to one of his leprosy patients to help him sleep during those episodes, and they discovered his condition improved afterwards, which is pretty neat!

Involving organs and whatnot

Amyloidosis might be like, 99% the reason why leprosy complications are fatal. Most of them will target the internal organs, like the kidneys, heart and the liver. It’s a little misfolded protein usually associated with long-term/chronic infections… and Alzheimer’s.

The protein causes fluid buildup in the limbs but also it can block important arteries to the heart, causing heart failure. (2nd leading cause of death, after suicide) But for the most time, it causes arrhythmia, which as someone who has a type of arrhythmia, it sucks, it does, alot. It hurts like hell, it makes you dizzy, it feels like your heart grows 4x in size and is trying to claw out of you via your throat. And I have the easy type!

Before I go on about anything else, I wanna go about diet, I already answered here about the complications of weight loss and leprosy and the reason behind it. (I do recommend reading it before this part) Amyloidosis causes CKD (chronic kidney failure), filtering the blood is pretty important… A failing kidney means increased blood pressure due to the fluid buildup.

If they don’t have any sort of knowledge on how nutrition works in the Darkest dungeon medical world, it could make things even worse. Salty foods and pork are the worst offenders, salt will increase your blood pressure by disrupting the osmotic balance, pork has too many fat/lipids, which stimulates the adipose tissue (the one responsible for storing fat), which in turns pisses the immune system EVEN more than it already is. (And this is why you’re advised to not eat pork after a tattoo) So that’s 3 strikes to the heart and 2 to poking the nuclear-tempered cells with a short stick.

As a complement to the original post, I forgot to mention why not only Baldwin isn’t eating properly but that he would probably be losing weight faster than he should. This is one of the more ‘gross’ symptoms you can’t lionize in fiction, but something that stuck to me alot was how the urine goes from liquid to a red, foamy thick paste. The kidney is also responsible for taking proteins instead of letting them go to waste, a dysfunctional one will just start discarding proteins, ESSENTIAL proteins, making the urine foamy or thick depending on which proteins are being discarded. (Red being from blood, which is another topic) Even if he was eating properly, his body can’t help but discard the food he needs. There's a wildfire in the distance of people fighting if intestinal leprosy is a thing and that can cause constipation. I’ll leave it up to you, most people do not believe it though.

My overall fandom Thots(™) In a selfish way, I think it’s fair that Sarmenti would be irrationally upset at it, considering everything, Baldwin would probably need to have some around-the-clock care as it happens IRL with ENL reactions (patients are supervised by nurses until the reaction is over and they can go home). I don’t think Sarmenti is caring for him directly though, it would be much much worse if he did; because he would need to help him eat, sleep, move around, change his wraps and clean him if needed. It makes more sense to me that Paracelsus is doing it, and Sarmenti is just there to visit or do some small things if he can, and even then, there’s not much she can do. While some leprosy antibiotics can be made by harvesting and refining things found in nature, even crudely, the ones that are used to manage ENL need high-tec labs and industrial wide scale production for it, there’s not many things to help it either, we didn’t even knew Thalidomide helped leprosy until like…1960? It’s not even recommended.

All that can be done is just wait until the reaction takes its course and doesn’t take his life with it, you can do some pain management to help him sleep better, but other than that? In this situation? I think they can only just make him as comfortable as possible and wait. In Baldwin’s POV, he’s in severe pain and discomfort, stuck in a room warm as possible as to not stir nerve pain. Confused/Delirious from fever and exhausted from lack of sleep, it’s normal for people in these states to just get up and… leave? Because they don’t know what’s going on or where they are, if he can still walk of course. Sarmenti depends on Baldwi emotionally, but it’s almost never the other way around, so this sudden change in routine is pretty upsetting for both of them. I think Baldwin needing him or “avoiding” him are two interesting takes, in one hand, he’s in pain and confused and Sarmenti is the only one who he recognizes to give him comfort but on the other hand, I’d understand why he wouldn’t want him to see him that way, he’s in a pretty bad shape...Well, up to you!

[lokh]

at this point i have to assume the ongoing chest pain is from living in this fucking house

[mercymaker]

yall, i think the stress is getting to me i keep having horrible nightmares

[thebirdandhersong]

Lol. Lol. Lol.

[livvyofthelake]

what’s really crazy about the laundry thing though is that it had to have been WEEKS of it sitting there waiting to be picked up. and i wonder if the women who worked there keeping it there waiting for the soldiers to come back and pick it up even considered the horrific implication that it hasn’t been picked up because there’s no one to do it. like was she really that naive to think maybe dozens of men had forgotten to come back to her shop? there’s no wayyyy. that scene was BONKERS it’s been haunting me for days. there’s no one to think about picking up their laundry. just a devastating way to show how many little things one person’s life touches and how much crumbles under the weight of such a massive war. as i said the other day. world war 2 was genuinely one of the all time bummers…

and of course this goes to show just how well done the show is at neither glamorizing or vilifying the war and the people who were affected by it. like i think the show gives proper weight to everything without being like. american military propaganda you know? the fact that the characters take “trophies” from people they kill is crazy to me and i think that’s an example of how the writing is handling disturbing topics with a certain nuance that’s usually absent in most propaganda esque war media. we’re supposed to be disturbed that they’re so insensitive to the fact they’re taking someone else’s life, but we’re also made to understand why they feel that way and how deeply The Enemy has been dehumanized to them over all their training. i mean that’s just how i see it maybe i’m being too complimentary. i think it’s a good show though i’m allowed to be complimentary when i normally just watch garbage

Taking Care of the Heart and Small Intestine in Summer: Vital Balance with Traditional Chinese Medicine

Summer is a vibrant season when the sun shines brightly and the energy of nature expands. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), summer is associated with the Fire element, representing the heart and small intestine. In this article, we will explore the importance of maintaining the balance of these organs during summer, promoting a calm mind, deep sleep, a healthy libido, and relieving headaches and body aches. We will also examine the effects of imbalance in these vital organs and how TCM can help restore harmony.

Balancing the Heart and Small Intestine: The heart is considered the "emperor" of the body in TCM, responsible for governing blood flow and housing the spirit. In summer, it is essential to keep the heart in balance to make the most of the fire energy. A balanced heart provides us with a calm mind, mental clarity, and a healthy emotional connection.

The small intestine, on the other hand, is responsible for separating the pure from the impure, absorbing necessary nutrients, and eliminating toxins. When the small intestine is in balance, our digestion functions properly, avoiding problems such as bloating, indigestion, and constipation.

Furthermore, during summer, it is important to maintain a good circulation of energy and blood throughout the body. When the heart and small intestine are balanced, blood flow is adequate, preventing conditions such as high blood pressure and heart attack.

Imbalance of the Heart and Small Intestine: However, when the heart and small intestine are imbalanced, various symptoms can arise. An imbalanced heart can lead to emotional disorders such as anxiety, insomnia, and depression. Headaches and migraines can also be related to heart imbalance.

An imbalanced small intestine can cause digestive problems such as diarrhea, gas, and abdominal discomfort. Imbalance in this organ can also negatively affect nutrient absorption, leading to fatigue and decreased immunity.

Taking Care of the Heart and Small Intestine in Summer: Traditional Chinese Medicine offers therapeutic approaches to help maintain the balance of the heart and small intestine during summer. Here are some natural tips that can be adopted:

Cooling Diet: Opt for a light and cooling diet in summer. Include foods such as fresh fruits, leafy green vegetables, refreshing herbal teas, and light whole grains. Avoid greasy, fried, and spicy foods, which can overload the digestive system.

Adequate Hydration: Drink enough water to stay hydrated during summer. Water helps regulate body temperature and blood circulation. Avoid sugary drinks and sodas, opting for water, natural teas, or coconut water.

Moderate Exercise: Engage in moderate physical exercises such as walking, swimming, or yoga to promote energy circulation throughout the body. Avoid strenuous exercises under the scorching sun as they can strain the heart and lead to exhaustion.

Stress Management: Use relaxation techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, and massage to reduce stress and calm the mind. Chronic stress can negatively affect the heart and small intestine, so it is essential to find ways to relieve daily tension.

Acupuncture and Herbal Therapy: Consider consulting a Traditional Chinese Medicine professional for acupuncture sessions and guidance on the use of medicinal herbs. Acupuncture can help balance the energy of the heart and small intestine, promoting relaxation and symptom relief. Certain herbs, such as chrysanthemum flower and peppermint, can be beneficial for heart and digestive health.

Conclusion: By taking care of the heart and small intestine during summer, we strengthen our vitality and promote physical and emotional balance. Traditional Chinese Medicine offers holistic approaches that consider the connection between the body, mind, and external environment. Remember to seek the guidance of a qualified TCM professional for an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment.

Enjoy summer by nurturing your heart, allowing moments of joy and connection while keeping your small intestine healthy for efficient digestion. Live in harmony with the energies of the season and embrace a summer full of well-being.
