【 小記事 | 048 】夏天好用的小物及藥品分享

圖片這些東西，是我個人長期累積下來的抗中暑上火物品。

🥥椰子水介紹過了，不再贅述，有能力買新鮮的當然最好。

至於刮痧板，我有好幾個不同形狀的，還有電動刮痧拔罐器😅沒辦法我太會中暑了，久病成良醫，尤其在異鄉要學會自己照顧自己。

去年曾經在專頁上介紹過鹽糖果的功效，這是取自未來FAMILY旅日作者的經驗，日本人會在夏季吃鹽糖果、喝麥茶來消暑，寶磺力也是日本人夏季熱銷商品，嫌太甜可以稀釋，還可以買顆粒包自己泡，我記得以前在台灣有買過。

上面兩個正方形的藥品是中國製的，一個是口炎清顆粒，另一個是藿香正氣口服液。

口炎清是專治口角炎的，除了可以治口角炎也有清熱解暑毒的功效，所以夏日出行我也會帶上兩三包。

藿香正氣口服液就不用說了，是中國夏天家家戶戶除了花露水必備的中暑藥品，可以說是家庭基本藥物。

以上兩種藥品如要使用，為求慎重起見還是要諮詢一下藥師比較好。中國的藥局都會有藥師在，買藥的時候稍為問一下至少比較安心，但有的藥師會推薦藥品，小心不要耳根軟買太多用不到的藥回家，很容易過期浪費，我有血淚經驗😭

對了，我已經開始寫故事囉✌️新的嘗試讓我心情大好，之前先生一直鼓勵我寫，我老是害怕寫不好不敢動筆，先生鼓勵我，只要願意開始寫，結果絕對會超出意料之外，真的是如此😉我居然已經愛上自己筆下的主角，甚至把他當成自己的孩子看待，這是正常的嗎？

可愛雙寶比我還喜歡主角，他們永遠是我的第一個讀者，我把第一章讀給雙寶聽，雙寶妹說：

「媽咪，我好希望你的故事可以出書喔！這麼棒的故事不能只有我和哥哥聽到。」

喔！也許她是為了鼓勵我繼續寫下去才這麼說，但不得不說這個方法真的很好用呢！大人也是需要鼓勵的啊！謝謝我的獅子座女孩。

但兒子的反應就不太相同，兒子聽完說：

「媽媽，你的故事很好，可是我將來會寫得比你更好。」😅

女兒想到的是要與人分享美好的事物，兒子想的卻是要超越父母。每天觀察雙胞胎不同的反應，是養育雙寶最有趣的地方。

#大家還有什麼抗中暑小物？
