Humidity Tainan ♥ Gift of extreme climate

It wasn't until the towel that had been warmed by the sun before that was placed in the room, and the smell of moisture began to appear in this wave of crazy weather, and I was slow to discover: Ah! Those familiar experiences are happily leaving us, welcome to the era when nothing is strange!

Tainan's wet life with the highest average sunshine in Taiwan

In the past, a few days of rain would be accompanied by a few days of sunshine, and the days of heavy humidity would not last a few days. Even the "South Wind" that can wet the floor is just a celebration to remind the arrival of a certain solar term, and it does not affect daily life too much.

The summer of 2021 seems to take us straight through the rainforest where tundra spores thrive.

I have to take care of the balcony plants every day these days. I have to pour the water collected from the bottom pot in the rock area to the part of the inner wall that may not be visited by too much wind and rain; the herbs that I brought in for shelter from the rain after a few days of drying Leaves, I want to say it's going to clear up these two days. Take care. Basically, everyone has grown their hair happily... Don't ask me what kind of hair I have. The hair... So what kind of bacteria are they? Forget composting!

Clothes placed outside in the room start to bring their own moisture, so leave it! Wait until it's sunny before washing...; The waterproofing of the walls of the old house that was not so important in the past, a certain wall has started to grow hair, leave it! Continue to wait for a sunny day to repair...; the handmade soap is sweating madly and needs to be replenished, so leave it! Or wait until it's sunny...

After clearing up, the to-do list is getting longer and longer. Every time a day or two of heavy rain is extended, there are several things that need to be dealt with. The ones that can’t be saved directly can only be thrown away or the best solution. The rest can be foreseen in the future. Lively. Is it possible that the grand occasion of every must-have dehumidifier for friends in the north is about to start moving south? ?

Experiment of replenishing yang and removing dampness

Halfway through the rainy season, I was reminded by these sunny day projects: There is an ancient method that should be carefully tested at the beginning, why do you only remember it now?

Burning wormwood, to be precise, burning wormwood.

In ancient times, after natural disasters, man-made calamities and wars, anti-epidemic diseases were used to burn mugwort; if the body was too wet, they would also use a sun-boosting method to remove dampness and burn mugwort.

Anyway, the tragedy has already started, and the experiment is still to be done, haha!

1. First wipe surfaces such as wooden cabinets with alcohol:
   Especially the part near the floor, I don't want to look carefully to see if it is dust or long hair... In short, it is a round of sterilization first. If you want the alcohol to have an extra natural fragrance, please refer to the previous notes: Tincture ♠ Citrus peel alcohol
2. Burn Ai:
   Every corner, put it wherever you like, remember to keep it ventilated and avoid smoke detectors. Because I sleep directly on the wooden floor, the place where I sleep is burned every day, and the other places are burned every day. If you are interested in the five-four-three of mugwort, please refer to the previous notes: mugwort, a good life partner , there is an introduction to how to make mugwort.
3. Effect:
   I felt the most at the sleeping position of burning every day. In the past few days, I completely felt that the wooden floor was clammy and cold. I would occasionally wake up in the middle of the night with a thin towel. It's quite close to the usual lying feeling, and the towel will occasionally feel hot and tear it apart.
   I was curious to burn moxa on the long-haired wall. The stove for burning moxa was placed on the floor, about 140cm away from the long-haired position. Not long after burning, the hairs fell off and startled me, but it didn't continue the next day but the rain continued. Hair grows back slowly...
4. plus:
   The pottery was used, and the temperature of the pottery was quite acceptable when burning moxa. I would use it as a fake moxibustion at the end every time I remembered it, aiming at the places with heavy moisture, or some special acupuncture points and so on. Occasionally warm compresses are really comfortable, which is worthy of the recommendation of Sun Simiao, the king of medicine.
   Suitable for friends who are wet or cold. If it is hot and dry, and there is edema on the body, apply it to the edema, drink some warm water after the application, and feel refreshed!

The gift of extreme climates

In recent years, I have become more and more aware of extreme climates. The world is either drought or waterlogging. This year, Taiwan is suffering from severe water shortages and too much rain in the middle. The weather is weird and everyone wants to turn on the air conditioner. The technology park has been expanding and building factories. This year, the power shortage and some problems have occurred.

Whether it is an epidemic or disasters in every corner of the world, there may be a major earthquake, a forest fire, a drought, a flood, and a landslide. I always feel that adding, subtracting, slowing down, and seeking a balance of reconciliation and peaceful coexistence with nature shouldn’t affect everyone’s desire to pursue fame, fortune, and success, right?

Otherwise, a power outage will result in huge losses, a lack of water will lead to a surge in water and agricultural damage, earthquakes and landslides will require more effort to rebuild, and the more extreme weather occurs, the more money and resources will be spent on living comfortably. If the climate is more extreme, special plants such as coffee will disappear from the earth! How about taking the attitude of "going to work to cure diseases" in the past and "preventive medicine" today and sincerely facing the mountains, forests and seas?

Don't think it's a big deal: one less plastic bag per person can save 7 billion plastic bags in the world, one less set of disposable tableware per person can save the world 7 billion pairs of disposable tableware waste 、Everyone planting a tree can add a large forest in the world, and everyone can avoid wasting more medical human resources directly or indirectly by taking good care of themselves. Everyone thinks more before shopping, and buys wisely, so as to avoid more health problems. A lot of resources are spent on making more things that don't work well and are easy to throw away.

The trivial and trivial matters between breathing are all conveniences in exchange for resources. Taiwan is a treasure island with a very high level of convenience and happiness. It is very worthy of our cherishing it!
