The weather is hot and angry. Where does the anger come from? Why do internal organs get angry? Dry mouth, broken mouth, constipation, watery eyes, acne, bad breath, insomnia, loss of appetite, irritability and general fatigue. How do these angry symptoms appear? Does this mean there is something wrong with the body? People will be angry. What is "fire"? Is it the fire mentioned in the food movie? Or does it refer to a person's "hot personality"? There are three kinds of fires in the human body.
Lin, director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine Diagnosis in the Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University, said that fire is one of the five elements, which generally refers to the normal and hot state in the human body and can be subdivided into three types of fire: 1. Physiological fire: the energy metabolism in normal people is generally called "heat" or "energy", which has the functions of regulating, generating heat energy and warming the human body. Normal physiological fire includes monarch fire and phase fire, and monarch fire is heart fire. Only when the monarch's fire is balanced can people remain refreshed and flexible. Phase fire refers to the fire of other systems except heart fire, such as kidney fire and liver fire, which mainly assists monarch fire to regulate the physiological activities of human body. 2. The fire of six evils: Chinese medicine refers to the six characteristics of climate change observed in nature, including wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness and fire, which are called "six qi". When the climate change is abnormal or too severe, it will lead to the lack of healthy qi in the human body, which is easy to be invaded by the outside world and cause diseases. 3. Fire of reason: People will have fire, but if there is an abnormal fire, it is morbid. When the fire is too strong, it is often called "getting angry", also known as "getting angry".
Disease is the imbalance of fire in the internal organs.
In the argument of traditional Chinese medicine, the five internal organs are interrelated, so the so-called internal fire will also occur in these so-called five internal organs, including heart fire, liver fire, kidney fire, lung fire and stomach fire. However, it is worth noting that the concepts of "heart", "liver", "kidney", "lung" and "stomach" in TCM refer not only to these internal organs, but to the corresponding systems. Dr. Chen Chaozong, executive director of the All-China Federation of Traditional Chinese Medicine Societies of the Republic of China, pointed out that the fire in the internal organs exists in balance, but sometimes the fire contained in the body loses balance because of one's diet, work and rest or illness, which will cause symptoms in the body, and in severe cases, it will be complicated with diseases, which will not only take time to treat, but also make you more sad because of the pain caused by the disease. Therefore, if you have mild symptoms in your body at ordinary times, you should be vigilant. Heart fire dominates the gods, that is, the heart is the monarch and the general who commands all the systems of the whole body. When the heart fire is strong, it mainly affects the blood vessels, respiratory and gastrointestinal systems, and in severe cases, cardiovascular diseases or brain diseases will occur. Anger in the heart is mainly caused by emotion and pressure. ◎ Symptoms: irritability, redness and thirst, heart fever, insomnia and dreaminess, sores on the mouth and tongue, sores on the skin, dry urine and blood, etc. ◎ Treatment: 1. Life: Keep a good attitude, control emotions, reduce tension, reduce thinking, and avoid dealing with complicated or interpersonal troubles. 2. Diet: Eat more fruits and vegetables, eat less spicy food, give up drinking and exercise more. 3. Drugs: Coptidis Rhizoma, lotus seeds and other herbs for clearing heart and purging fire can be taken.
Lung fire governs fur. When people have more clothes, warm houses, less activities and high dietary calories, they are prone to accumulate heat in the body, and lung fire is obvious. In severe cases, it will affect respiratory tract, kidney, liver and other parts. ◎ Symptoms: dry throat pain, cough and chest pain, dry cough without phlegm or less phlegm but sticky, dry mouth and nose, hot flashes and night sweats, fever in hands and feet, insomnia, red tongue, etc. ◎ Treatment: 1. Life: Clean the lungs by "breathing, coughing and washing the lungs", choose a place with fresh air, exhaust the gas in the lungs as much as possible through repeated deep breathing and exhalation, and help the respiratory tract to discharge secretions through active coughing, so as to clean the lungs and enhance immunity. 2. Diet: Eat more cold foods, such as white radish, tremella, Chinese cabbage, celery, spinach, winter bamboo shoots, bananas, pears, apples, lilies, carambola, loquat, etc., drink more water, and eat less high-calorie foods such as meat and chocolate. 3. Medication: Under the guidance of a doctor, if the patient has lung heat stagnation, take Xuan Tong Li Fei Pill and Maxingshi Glycyrrhiza Decoction; People with yin deficiency and lung heat should take Ziyin Qingfei oral liquid and Jinguoyin. In addition, Cynanchum atratum and Cortex Lycii are also the main Chinese herbal medicines for clearing away lung heat.
Stomach fire is closely related to the quantity, quality and time of diet, mainly related to damp heat and food accumulation. Alcoholism, spicy addiction and overeating will all lead to excessive stomach heat, which will easily affect the spleen, stomach, kidney, lung and other organs. People with mild stomach fire always feel that they don't have enough to eat. In fact, this is the illusion that stomach heat gives the brain. When the fire reaches a certain stage, the stomach will become inflamed, but it will become unable to eat. ◎ Symptoms: heartburn, abdominal distension, dry mouth, bad breath, loose stool, constipation, swollen gums, loss of appetite, etc. ◎ Treatment: 1. Life: Pay more attention to oral hygiene. 2. Diet: Follow the principle of clearing away heat and resolving stagnation, be frugal in diet, prohibit overheated and sweet food, and increase the intake of yellow-green vegetables and seasonal fruits to supplement the deficiency of vitamins and inorganic salts. 3. Drugs: Chuanlian, Juncus Juncus, Lotus Seed Core and Ophiopogon japonicus have the effect of purging stomach fire.
Liver anger is mostly caused by external factors, so it is very important to adjust and stabilize emotions. Anxiety will add fuel to the fire, and keeping a good mood will help to regulate internal heat. In addition, lack of sleep and poor sleep quality are also the reasons for the rise of liver fire. When people often stay up late and disturb the normal work and rest time of human body, the liver can't rest and detoxify from 1 1 afternoon to 3 am as scheduled, so they have to work overtime to remove impurities and toxins accumulated in the body, which will increase the burden on the liver. In the long run, it will not only affect the health of the liver, but also cause heart disease. ◎ Symptoms: swelling pain in the head in the afternoon, dizziness and tinnitus, dry eyes and mouth, bitter taste, bad breath, swelling pain in both ribs, unstable sleep, sultry body, thick tongue coating, irritability and acne. ◎ Treatment: 1. Life: improve impatient personality, get enough sleep and relax. 2. Diet: It is not advisable to eat spicy, greasy and sour food, and avoid fried food. Mutton, seafood, fat, dark plum and other hot and dry ingredients are not edible. 3. Drugs: Jin Juhua, Rabdosia rubescens, Prunella vulgaris, Radix Paeoniae Alba, etc. Can be decocted and drunk together, calming the liver and purging fire.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the kidney itself can be divided into kidney yang and kidney yin, which is responsible for distributing body fluids and body fluids throughout the body to help the human body calm down; Kidney yang is the driving force for transporting body fluids such as kidney yin. When kidney yang is hyperactive, it is a phenomenon that kidney fire rises. Symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats common in female menopause are all symptoms of rising kidney fire, which will also affect the liver and spleen in severe cases. ◎ Symptoms: dizziness, tinnitus, deafness, alopecia, tooth shaking, restless sleep, fatigue, emaciation, soreness of waist and legs, acne, etc. ◎ Treatment: 1. Life: don't stay up late, keep a stable schedule. 2. Food: reduce cold drinks, high-calorie and * * * foods, and supplement foods high in fiber and vitamin C. Drugs: White Dihuang Pill is commonly used in Chinese medicine to clear kidney.
There are great differences between "real fire" and "virtual fire" and reducing fire.
When we have symptoms such as thirst, dry mouth, bad breath, bitter taste, broken mouth, aphtha, acne, insomnia, dry eyes, yellow urine, tinnitus, headache and constipation. The elders of the older generation will simply say to us, "You are angry! Drink more herbal tea to reduce fire! Yes, these symptoms are indeed comprehensive symptoms of excessive internal heat, but if you think that drinking herbal tea can solve the problem, it is all wet. Lin pointed out that the types of excessive fire can be divided into "real fire" and "virtual fire", and the treatment methods of the two are different. Patients who are often attacked by real fire like to eat hot and dry food such as roast, stir-fry or spicy food. People with strong constitution, bad temper and irritability are characterized by thirst, bitter taste, bad breath, easily broken mouth, yellow tongue coating, sore tongue, red tongue color, strong pulse and irritability. ◎ Treatment: Because the patient's physique is strong, it can be adjusted by the next method. For example, bitter and cold prescriptions, such as Huanglian Jiedu Decoction, Longdan Xiegan Decoction and Puji Disinfection Drink, are often prescribed by Chinese medicine. Contrary to real fire, virtual fire mostly occurs in people with weak constitution, such as people who are overworked or overworked because of staying up late and working for a long time. Symptoms are dry mouth but not much drinking, thin tongue coating, red tongue, insomnia, dry eyes, weak waist and knees, and rapid pulse. ◎ Treatment: Because the body has different degrees of deficiency, it should be treated by tonifying deficiency and nourishing loss. The medicines prescribed by Chinese medicine include Yunv Decoction, Qingxin Lianzi Drink and Baizhi Dihuang Pill.
The symptoms of "heart fire" and "stomach fire" are completely different.
In the fire of five internal organs, heart fire and stomach fire can also be divided into real fire and virtual fire. Chen Chaozong pointed out that Chinese medicine emphasizes that the five elements are mutually reinforcing and the yin and yang poles are compared. Therefore, there will be corresponding symptoms of excess fire and deficiency fire, which can be clearly distinguished by Chinese medicine, which is conducive to diagnosis and treatment. Heart fire ◎ Real fire manifestations: repeated oral ulcers, dry mouth, short and red urine, upset and irritable. ◎ Manifestations of deficiency fire: low fever, night sweats, upset, dry mouth, etc. Stomach fire ◎ Real fire manifestations: epigastric discomfort, dry mouth, bitter taste, dry stool and so on. ◎ Manifestations of deficiency fire: slight cough, loss of appetite, constipation, abdominal distension, red tongue, less tongue coating, etc. The more you enter the hot and humid summer, the greater your anger will be, and the symptoms of getting angry will begin to appear slowly. Once there are serious symptoms of excessive internal heat, you can first look at what symptoms you have. By improving life and diet, we will not let the "nameless fire" accumulate in the body and cause diseases.
Symptoms of excessive internal heat
1. Fierce heat is yang evil: that is, thermal image reactions will occur, such as headache, body heat, irritability, thirst, sweating, etc. These are common symptoms in human thermal image reaction. 2. Fire is easy to consume body fluids: if you are thirsty easily, you always want to supplement body fluids, yellow urine, constipation and so on. These are all manifestations of body fluid consumption. 3. Fire is prone to wind and blood: when body fluid is continuously lost and blood vessels and tendons of human body are not nourished and moistened, there will be "extremely hot wind" with symptoms such as high fever, delirium, limb twitching and stiff neck.
