Inflammation of heart fire leads to oral ulcer, sore throat, dry throat and insomnia; Excessive lung heat causes dry throat, dry mouth and thirst.
Only reasonable diet and nursed back to health can achieve the purpose of reducing fire and removing heat.
Excessive internal heat is a term of traditional Chinese medicine, which is an internal heat syndrome after the imbalance of yin and yang. If there are symptoms such as dry throat, red eyes, burning nose, dry mouth, rotten mouth, nosebleeds, toothache, etc., Chinese medicine thinks it is "getting angry". According to the five internal organs, there are mainly stomach fire, heart fire, liver fire and lung fire.
Eating disorders cause the first fire.
Stomach fire Typical symptoms: acne, swollen gums and rotten mouth.
Stomach fire can be divided into two types: deficiency fire is characterized by slight cough, loss of appetite, constipation and red tongue with little coating. These people generally have the basis of old stomach problems. In traditional Chinese medicine, "usually stomach yin is insufficient, body fluid is insufficient", daily life is excessive, and fatigue causes excessive internal heat; During the Chinese New Year, the food is still really hot. "Spicy essence and strong taste" is characterized by epigastric discomfort, dry mouth and bitter taste, and dry stool.
Fire prevention essentials: eat more coarse grains and drink more water.
Since getting angry comes from eating, we should also start from eating this source.
The new edition of Dietary Guide for China Residents just said that coarse grains are not eaten enough. Professor Chen also stressed that eating more coarse grains can prevent stomach fire. Eating spicy, barbecue and other irritating foods will damage the spleen and stomach, leading to excessive internal heat, and in severe cases, oral erosion will occur. For such a "fire", we should eat more coarse grains such as beans and millet and green fresh vegetables to increase the variety of food. The second is to eat more light food. During the festival, many young people sleep less than usual, and the virtual fire rises. Many girls also like to eat while playing. Snacks such as melon seeds, peanuts and chocolate don't leave your hands. Excessive heat accumulation in the body, a lot of acne on the face. This "fire" comes from internal heat, so the lighter you eat, the better your skin condition will be. In addition, drinking more water is a good habit, which can accelerate the metabolism of the body.
Prescriptions for reducing fire: lily mung bean porridge, water chestnut lotus root juice soup.
Lily and mung bean porridge: Lily and mung bean have the ability of clearing away heat and toxic materials and reducing fire. Mung beans are sweet in taste and cool in nature, and have the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, relieving summer heat, relieving vexation, quenching thirst, invigorating stomach, inducing diuresis and reducing swelling. Eating lily often has the effect of moistening lung and clearing heart, relieving cough, stopping bleeding and stimulating appetite. It is also relatively simple to do. Boil mung beans and lilies for 15 minutes, then add rice to boil, turn to low heat, and cook until the porridge is sticky and appropriate, and add crystal sugar appropriately.
Water chestnut and lotus root juice soup: choose 250g water chestnut and 250g fresh lotus root. After frying the soup together, add a proper amount of rock sugar. After three days, it has the effects of moistening stomach, cooling blood and reducing fire.
Often staying up late leads to the second fire-anger.
Typical symptoms: headache, dizziness, unstable sleep and temper tantrum.
Often staying up late will disrupt the normal work and rest time of the human body, and the liver can't rest and detoxify as scheduled, so it has to work overtime to remove impurities and toxins accumulated in the body, which undoubtedly increases the burden on the liver itself, and the liver fire will be "ignited". No wonder some people have a good temper during the long vacation, but it has a lot to do with not sleeping well.
Some liver fire will manifest as headache, dizziness, tinnitus, dry eyes, dry mouth and tongue, bitter mouth and bad breath, pain in both ribs, unstable sleep, sultry body and thick tongue coating.
Fire prevention essentials: stabilize your mood and get enough sleep.
For people with high blood pressure and bad temper, we should pay attention to prevent the attack of liver fire. This is what Chinese medicine calls "Yang Qi is sufficient", so try not to get angry. "Anger is easy to get angry and hurt the liver", which will cause the accumulation of liver qi in the body, leading to stagnation of liver qi and stagnation of qi and blood. Sleep is very important to prevent liver fire. Try to go to bed before 12 every night. If you can't stay up late, then you must catch up on sleep afterwards.
To prevent liver fire, in addition to adequate sleep and relaxation, some simple herbs or food can also help to clear the fire. People with a strong liver fire should eat more cold foods such as fungus, chrysanthemum and lotus seeds. Eat less spicy, fishy, too greasy, too sour and fried foods, as well as mutton, shrimp, fat meat and dark plum. In order to avoid "adding fuel to the fire."
Prescriptions for reducing fire: fried auricularia with pork liver and chrysanthemum tea with medlar.
As the saying goes, you should make up for what you eat, and you should also make up for the liver when dealing with liver fire. Fried black fungus with pig liver has the effect of calming liver fire. Choose about 40 grams of auricularia auricula and 240 grams of pig liver.
Soak auricularia auricula, cut off the hard lump at the bottom, and then cut into thick silk; Wash and air-dry pork liver, then cut into thick slices, add marinade and marinate for about 10 minutes; Heat the pot, add 2 tablespoons of oil, saute ginger slices, add pork liver slices and stir-fry until cooked; Add shredded fungus and shredded onion, stir well, add a little sugar and salt to taste, and serve.
To prevent liver fire from rising, you can also drink medlar chrysanthemum tea. The method is as follows: the medlar is boiled for 30 minutes first, and then boiled for 3 minutes after adding chrysanthemum, so it can be used as tea, which is suitable for people who often use their brains.
Excessive thinking leads to the third fire-heart fire.
Typical symptoms: oral ulcer, sore throat, dry throat and insomnia.
Chinese medicine says that "worry is true", which generally means that worry is easy to hurt. Although most people are happy during the Chinese New Year, the elders at home are too happy or overworked because of the appearance of the younger generation, and they will be "furious", that is, angry.
Heart fire can also be divided into virtual fire and real fire. Generally speaking, deficiency fire is characterized by low fever, night sweat, palpitation, upset, insomnia, forgetfulness and so on. And the elderly, especially those with cardiovascular diseases, often have such symptoms; Excess fire is manifested as repeated oral ulcers, short and red urine, upset and irritable. And it is prone to strong young people.
Fire prevention essentials: stabilize your mood and get enough sleep.
Since the heart fire is mostly caused by fatigue or excessive happiness, the way to deal with it is also from these two aspects. Professor Chen reminds us that during the Spring Festival, we need to control our emotions and reduce our nervousness and worries. In particular, reduce those worries that are delayed, complicated and involve many interpersonal relationships, so as to avoid excessive heart fire and induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Eating more fruits and vegetables helps to control the heart fire, while spicy food, alcohol and tobacco should be kept at a respectful distance from others and exercised more. You can eat more cold and bitter foods, such as bitter gourd, bitter vegetable, lily and kudingcha, and eat more tonics, such as jujube, jujube, lily or clean animal placenta.
Prescription for reducing fire: rock sugar lotus seed soup, bitter gourd fried ginkgo.
Crystal sugar lotus seed soup: people with rising deficiency fire can often drink crystal sugar lotus seed soup that can clear heart and moisten dryness. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that lotus seeds can clear away heat, clear heart and soothe the nerves, and have a good therapeutic effect on irritability and insomnia caused by internal fire.
Stir-fried bitter gourd and ginkgo: Eating "bitter" properly in winter can reduce the heart fire. Select 1-2 bitter gourd and 20 ginkgo biloba. Wash ginkgo, wash bitter gourd and dice; Soak bitter gourd and ginkgo in boiling water for a while, and immediately remove them for use; Add a little oil to the wok, add ginkgo, bitter gourd and seasoning and stir-fry until cooked; Thicken this dish with starch However, it should be noted that Ginkgo biloba should not be eaten too much at a time, and each person should not exceed 10.
Repeated colds trigger the fourth fire-lung fire.
Typical symptoms: dry throat, dry mouth and thirst.
Spring is a period of high incidence of respiratory diseases, people often go in and out of public places and air-conditioned rooms, and all kinds of respiratory diseases naturally meet unexpectedly. In traditional Chinese medicine, these are the causes of lung fire.
People with lung fire often have dry nose and mouth, burning breath and easy to catch a cold. After catching a cold, they have symptoms such as high fever, cough, thick phlegm, red tongue and yellow fur. Some children can't cover the quilt when sleeping, like to lie prone, like to eat cold drinks, and their lips are red, which is also a manifestation of lung fire.
Fire prevention essentials: keep warm and increase or decrease clothes in time.
Because respiratory diseases such as colds are the causes of lung fire, it is necessary to take warm measures first to prevent lung fire, and to increase or decrease clothes in time when entering and leaving air-conditioned rooms.
In addition to lung fire, breathing, coughing and lung washing can also help the respiratory tract to discharge secretions and enhance immunity through deep breathing and active coughing. You can choose a place with fresh air, inhale and exhale repeatedly, and try to expel the gas from the lungs. In addition, coughing several times a day is also a positive protective reflex action, which can effectively clean the lungs.
Prescription for reducing fire: tremella and Sydney soup
Tremella Sydney soup: 50 grams of tremella and two pears are selected. Cut the pear into pieces, add 500 ml of water to Tremella, and boil for 20 minutes. Adding a little rock sugar will have the effect of moistening the lungs and relieving cough.
Summary:
Professor Chen finally stressed that in the eyes of many people, "getting angry" is really a small problem. Just drink some herbal tea, but you really can't eat Niuhuang Jiedu pills or Qingyan Lihou tablets. In fact, although the symptoms of "getting angry" are similar, everyone's physique is different and the treatment methods are different. In particular, real fire and virtual fire are just the opposite. If it is obviously a virtual fire, it is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire if it is still being handled by the method of dealing with real fire. Therefore, when you encounter something difficult to grasp, you have to find an expert in time.
