Honeysuckle is a natural treasure for cooling off in summer
In summer, regularly drinking honeysuckle tea can help prevent heatstroke, intestinal infections and other illnesses. For summer-heat restlessness and heart irritability, or sores and tumors in children, take 10 g of honeysuckle and steep it in water as a tea substitute. If 10 g of chrysanthemum is added and steeped together, the effect is even more pronounced. For sores and swellings, upper respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, biliary tract infections, breast inflammation and similar conditions, take 10-20 g of honeysuckle, decoct it in water and take it orally, twice a day; this can bring the condition under control and relieve symptoms. Take 20 g of honeysuckle, dry-roast it and grind it into powder, then mix it with sugar water or honey and take it; this can treat summer-heat diarrhea and dysentery, and is recorded in ancient medical texts

Key Technical Points for Summer and Autumn Cultivation and Management of Gastrodia elata
Summer and autumn are the periods when Gastrodia elata enters vigorous growth and maturity, and they are also the critical periods for its production management. If neglected or managed improperly, the yield and quality of Gastrodia elata will be seriously affected. 1. Drainage ditches for moisture removal. When Gastrodia elata enters the vigorous growth period, it is time to start checking whether the drainage ditches at the cultivation site are waterlogged and unobstructed. Soil moisture content can be kept at 60-65%. The three months of July, August and September are the period when Gastrodia elata needs the most water. During this time, the drainage ditches must be checked and cleared in a timely manner to avoid waterlogging. 2. Technical measures for mulching to retain moisture and lower temperature

Key Technical Points for Summer Management of Gastrodia elata in Northern Shaanxi
Gastrodia elata prefers to grow in warm, moist sandy (or leaf-mold) soil and has relatively strict requirements for temperature and humidity. However, the area along the Great Wall in northern Shaanxi lies in the mid-temperate zone, where summers are hot and dry with little rain, which is unfavorable for the growth and development of Gastrodia elata. To achieve a good harvest of Gastrodia elata, the measures that should be taken in summer management are: (1) Build a shed for shade. In summer, especially at noon during the hot dog days, due to direct sunlight, the ground temperature at 20 cm below the surface (already close to the Gastrodia elata layer) reaches as high as 30-37°C. To keep the ground temperature at 20-28°C

Key Management Techniques for Log-Cultivated Ganoderma in Summer
1. Thinning: About 10-20 days after the mature colonized logs are covered with soil, primordia begin to form. Because the light in artificial shade sheds is generally quite strong, the cut cross-sections of the logs are stimulated by light and tend to form numerous primordia. To improve the quality of the Ganoderma, excess primordia should be removed, leaving only 1-2 thick, sturdy primordia per log segment. If two primordia are kept, they should be more than 15 cm apart. Otherwise, after the caps differentiate, they will crowd and stick together, causing deformities and reducing commercial value. Thinning can be done by simply picking them off by hand, then covering the spot with fine soil.
