There are some friends around me who usually have cold hands and feet and are afraid of the cold, but they often suffer from internal heat. They took some medicine to clear away heat and purge internal heat. It was improved at the time, but it didn’t take long before the symptoms returned. Fire, over and over again. And because of eating too much heat-clearing and gunpowder, other physical conditions also appeared. For example, eating a little cold food makes you prone to diarrhea. Why is this?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney is the foundation of innateness, and the kidney stores essence, which is divided into kidney yang and kidney yin. Moreover, Chinese medicine also believes that the balance of yin and yang determines a person's physical health, and the two restrict each other. However, when kidney yin is deficient due to improper diet, frequent staying up late, etc., it cannot warm the internal organs and kidney yin cannot control kidney yang, causing the yang energy in the body to flow randomly, and the deficiency fire is uncontrolled, or the kidney yang is excessive and the lower burner is insufficient. As a result, a series of symptoms such as upper heat and lower cold occur, such as oral ulcers, flushed complexion, upset, insomnia, cold hands and feet, loose stools, frequent nocturia, etc. What should we do?

Today I will share with you a recipe from "Diagnosis of Syndrome" that can nourish kidney water and draw fire back to the original source. It is called Yinhuo Decoction. This recipe can draw down the empty fire in your body. Turn into vitality. The prescription can also be simple, with only five traditional Chinese medicines: Rehmannia glutinosa, Morinda officinalis, Poria cocos, Ophiopogon japonicus, and Schisandra chinensis. Next, let’s explain the fire-inducing soup together.

The recipe first adds Rehmannia glutinosa, which is good at nourishing yin and blood, replenishing essence and replenishing marrow. It can replenish kidney essence. When kidney yin is sufficient, it can restrain yang, and kidney yang will not rise, so there will be no phenomenon of deficiency fire running around.

Then we added Morinda officinalis, which is a traditional Chinese medicine with a gentle temperament. It can not only calm the five internal organs, but also bring back the fire that stays above it, bringing the fire back to its original state.

Then Poria cocos is added to the prescription. Poria cocos can be said to be a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine. It can remove dampness, strengthen the spleen, facilitate urination, absorb excess and unnecessary water from the body, and then excrete it through urine.

Finally, Ophiopogon japonicus and Schisandra chinensis are added. Ophiopogon japonicus and Schisandra chinensis can bring down metal and produce water, making the body moist. Just like what I just said, people with yin deficiency lack body fluids, which is like a dry land, and these two traditional Chinese medicines are like a timely rain, which extinguishes the fire in our bodies and moisturizes the internal organs. In addition, Schisandra chinensis can also solidify the replenished yin fluid in the body to prevent the yin fluid from being lost again.

The above is the fire-inducing soup, which can extinguish the fire and protect the yang, draw the fire back to the source, and turn your fire into vitality. Has everyone learned it? If you are also suffering from heat on the head and face of your body caused by heat in the upper part and cold in the lower part, and your lower limbs, knees or feet are cold but not warm, you may wish to refer to the fire-inducing soup.
