There is a very strange phenomenon: I am obviously afraid of cold and have a cold constitution, but I have recurring oral ulcers, sores on the mouth and tongue, sore throat, and eczema. Acne and other symptoms of inflammation, what is going on?

Let’s talk about getting internal heat. If people with a hot constitution always get internal heat, that’s fine. If staying up late or eating greasy food often leads to internal heat, that’s okay. Why do I usually have a relatively healthy diet, have a cold constitution, and still get angry repeatedly?

Let me talk to you about this issue today.

Inflammation is caused by cold

"Huangdi Neijing" says: "Today's fever diseases are all typhoid fever... When people are injured by cold, then Because of illness and fever." Here is a clear explanation. If the cold evil in the body is too severe, it will manifest itself as fever or febrile disease. In other words, getting angry is actually caused by cold.

Friends who experience this kind of situation have the legendary and mysterious constitution of "heat at the top and cold at the bottom".

It is more difficult to treat this kind of people. Simply warming the yang will lead to more serious internal heat problems; simply clearing away heat and detoxifying will lead to aggravation of body cold problems such as diarrhea and cold lower limbs.

What’s the matter with upper heat and lower cold?

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the kidneys govern water and the heart governs fire. Under normal circumstances, the heart fire is directed downwards, which can warm the lower body, and the kidney water is directed upwards, which can control the fire in the upper burner and moisturize the upper body. In this way, the body can have a yin and yang cycle.

What’s the matter with upper heat and lower cold? To put it bluntly, it means that the heart and kidneys are not in harmony, and the lower kidney water does not rise, causing the upper fire to burn more and more vigorously; the upper fire does not go down to warm the kidney water, causing the lower body to become colder and colder, and people will develop upper body heat and lower body cold. constitution.

What causes heart and kidney disharmony? It’s either a heart problem, a kidney problem, or a problem in the middle:

Therefore, the idea of ??regulating the upper heat and lower cold is to open up our middle burnt spleen and stomach, and then lead the upper fire downwards. , with up and down convection, the cold and heat will be balanced.

Give you two tricks to improve upper heat and lower cold——

01. Moxibustion conditioning

For this disobedient little flame, we need to use Reasonable methods lead it to where it should go, that is, draw the fire back to its origin, and at the same time rely on external force to dispel the cold evil accumulated in the lower part of the body. Then moxibustion is a very suitable choice.

During conditioning, select Qihai, Pishu, Zusanli, Sanyinjiao and other acupoints. Along the acupuncture points, moxibustion guides the yang energy floating above downwards, dissipates cold inside, and integrates yin and yang. At the same time, it warms and nourishes the lower burner. The legs are warmed, the meridians are unblocked, and the fire in the upper burner is reduced.

Analysis of Medicinal Diet
