Whether the weather is too cold or too hot - Complemedis knows what to do!
Kraftsuppe aus 14 Komponenten
This weather phenomenon, which recurs every year between 4 and 20 June, is known as the sheep cold. The temperature drops by up to 10 degrees for a few days. Sheep should only be sheared after this period, hence the name.
Dog days is a period of heat from around mid-July to mid-August, exactly between 23 July and 23 August, which is astrologically related to the position of Sirius or its constellation Canis Major (greater dog).
It's not just the sheep that are affected by the cold in June, but also us humans. A warming power soup is therefore recommended.
TCM specialists who specialise in nutrition and advise patients recommend these power soups. There are countless varieties and they are all suitable.
Here is one from our own household:
