Among the five internal organs, the spleen and stomach are the center of body fluid transportation, like a water conservancy hub, from which body fluids start and enter the circulation.

Therefore, some people, especially children, suffer from heat stroke, not necessarily because they are hot all over, but because their urination is very difficult, hot and yellow.

In the hot and humid seasons of summer and summer, people always feel uncomfortable: the heat and humidity cause the body to become heavy, and the heat of the summer heat makes the steam rise up.
