learn to reduce fire in the mid-spring at 18:49 on Wednesday, March 25, 29. Core Tip: After a cold winter, it also passed the chilly early spring, and the climate of the whole country began to gradually enter a warm spring. According to the traditional theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the yang of the human body has also begun to rise to the most vigorous period of the year. At the same time, all kinds of "fire" gases invade some people's bodies with the warm weather. The reporter visited the outpatient departments of Chinese medicine hospitals and found that the number of patients who went to see a doctor because of excessive internal heat increased especially than before. Chinese medicine practitioners told reporters: "There are many manifestations of excessive internal heat in Chinese medicine, and symptoms of mouth sores will appear when excessive internal heat occurs in the upper jiao, and urinary system infection will appear when there is fire in the lower jiao."

In dry weather, if you don't pay attention to replenish water in time, you will be at greater risk of developing these diseases, especially urinary system diseases. "Some people go to the drugstore to buy some common Chinese patent medicines to get rid of fire when they have symptoms of getting angry. Chinese medicine experts point out that Chinese patent medicines to get rid of fire can't be eaten casually, and they must be treated symptomatically to get rid of fire correctly.

Fire in TCM is mostly internal fire

The so-called "getting angry" is actually a pathogenic factor mentioned by TCM, which is divided into exogenous and endogenous factors. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that most evil fires are still born from the inside, and external reasons can be an inducement. Generally speaking, it is caused by the imbalance of yin and yang in the body. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, there is no fire evil in nature, only heat evil, which is the same as fire, but with different degrees of severity. Heat is a slight fire, fire is extremely hot, heat evil is mostly exogenous, and fire evil is mostly endogenous.

In spring, everything in nature recovers and the yang rises, which easily disturbs the internal heat accumulated in the liver, gallbladder and gastrointestinal tract, resulting in spring dryness; In addition, the climate in northern China in spring is characterized by dryness and windy, and the human body's water is easily lost through sweating and breathing, and the weather is changeable, so it is difficult to maintain the balance and stability of human metabolism, and it is easy to cause physiological dysfunction and cause symptoms of excessive internal heat, such as dry throat and pain, swollen gums, red and dry eyes, hot nasal cavity, chapped lips, sores on the mouth and tongue, loss of appetite, dry stool and yellow urine.

Symptomatic treatment is needed to reduce internal heat

Many people think of "Niuhuang Jiedu Pill" as soon as they hear of internal heat. In fact, Chinese patent medicines should not be eaten indiscriminately, so they must choose drugs according to their symptoms. According to the classification of triple energizer in TCM, fire can be divided into three types: the fiery symptoms in the upper part, such as dizziness and sore throat, are called "upper energizer fire", those in the middle part, such as restlessness, thirst and epigastric pain, are called "middle energizer fire", and those in the lower part, such as constipation and hematuria, are called "lower energizer fire". Dampness and heat are more common in the lower energizer in spring, and the most direct manifestations are frequent urination, urgency, astringent pain, short urination, reddish yellow urine and low back pain.

according to the symptoms of different viscera, the types of excessive internal heat can be roughly divided into the following five types:

heart fire

deficiency fire and excess fire, which can be seen as palpitation, insomnia, dreaminess, tongue pain, erosion of mouth and tongue, yellow and burning urine, etc. Excess fire is mostly caused by pathogenic heat, phlegm-fire depression or emotional injury. If you are overworked, you will consume the sad yin and blood, forming an imbalance between yin and yang, and a deficiency fire will occur when the yang is too strong.

Stomach fire

is characterized by gum swelling and pain, halitosis, easy hunger, constipation, etc., which can be divided into two types: deficiency fire is characterized by slight cough, less diet, constipation, abdominal distension, red tongue with little fur, and excess fire is characterized by upper abdominal discomfort, dry mouth and bitter taste, dry and hard stool, etc.

Liver-fire

can be manifested as dizziness, swelling and pain, red face and red eyes, bitter mouth and dry throat, impatience and irritability, red tongue edge, rapid pulse, even fainting, madness, hematemesis, etc., and sometimes you will feel upset and irritable and have poor sleep. It is often caused by the stagnation of liver qi for a long time, or overeating pungent and warm products, or the internal heat turns into fire.

lung fire

dry cough with no phlegm or little phlegm but sticky, hot flashes, night sweats, hand and foot fever, insomnia and red tongue.

kidney fire

hyperactivity of kidney fire is also called hyperactivity of Ming-men fire. Generally, the deficiency of kidney yin leads to hyperactivity of yang fire, and the pathogenesis of fire forcing essence to drain appears. Generally, there will be yang deficiency, nocturnal emission, premature ejaculation and other symptoms.

Choose the right medicine for treating "excessive internal heat"

There are two points to pay attention to in treating "excessive internal heat": First, choose traditional Chinese medicine instead of blindly using western medicine. Because the former is to regulate the whole body to cure the problem, the latter can only treat the symptoms. The second is to treat according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. For example, watermelon frost can be selected for sores on the tongue caused by "upper scorching fire"; Qingwei powder can be used to treat "middle-jiao fire"; Sanjin tablets are used to treat damp-heat of lower energizer. Sanjin tablet, as a commonly used Chinese patent medicine, has the functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials, promoting diuresis and treating stranguria, and is generally used for patients with damp-heat in lower energizer, hot stranguria, short and red urine, astringent stranguria, acute and chronic pyelonephritis, cystitis and urinary tract infection. Before choosing a medicine, it's best to be diagnosed by a professional Chinese medicine doctor.

In addition, acupuncture, cupping and massage in traditional Chinese medicine also play a very good auxiliary role in treating excessive internal heat. Pay attention to the combination of work and rest in life, and pay attention to eating more vegetables and fruits containing vitamins, drinking more water, eating less spicy fried food, smoking less and drinking less. There is also a close relationship between getting angry and mental state. If you keep an optimistic and positive attitude towards life, many "fires" will not actually occur.
