do you have this situation? You are obviously afraid of the cold, and your body is cold, but you get angry repeatedly, such as oral ulcer and sore throat, which is very uncomfortable. Moreover, some people want to purge the fire by drinking herbal tea, but they can't get over it again and again, and their hands and feet are getting colder and colder. What's going on here?

from the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, most of these cases of excessive internal heat are caused by deficiency and cold of the spleen and stomach. Here, maybe some people will find it strange that it is obviously the deficiency of the spleen and stomach, why does it cause a deficiency fire?

This is to say that when the spleen and stomach are deficient in cold, the cold in the body is too heavy, which will affect the function of the internal organs, and therefore the yang will be rejected, and the yang will float on the upper part of the person, resulting in oral ulcers, irritability, insomnia and other symptoms of excessive internal heat.

In this case, simply taking some heat-clearing drugs to put out the fire will not only fail to extinguish the internal heat, but will aggravate the cold evil in the body, making the deficiency of the spleen and stomach more serious. Therefore, to regulate this situation, it is necessary to dispel the cold evil in the body and avoid rejection of yang.

Today, Dr. Shen will share with you a small prescription from Treatise on Febrile Diseases by Zhang Zhongjing in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is composed of dried ginger and gardenia.

dried ginger is made from fresh ginger after processing. Although they are both ginger, their functions are different. Ginger is good at dispersing exterior cold and is often used for exogenous cold. However, dried ginger is pungent and hot, and can be good at dispelling cold. It can go from the body surface to the viscera. For friends with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, dried ginger can be used to drive out the cold and wet pathogens in the spleen and stomach. When the problem of cold pathogens is solved, the spleen and stomach will naturally work again.

Next, add Gardenia jasminoides Ellis. Gardenia jasminoides Ellis is cold and bitter, and can enter the heart, lungs and triple energizer meridians. It is one of the few good medicines to clear the heat of triple energizer. No matter where the residual fire in the body is, it can be extinguished with Gardenia jasminoides Ellis. Gardenia jasminoides Ellis can also induce diuresis, and it can discharge the heat and fire in the body through urine.

in a word, the problem of body cold and easy to get angry can be solved by the combination of dried ginger and gardenia. If you are also deficient in spleen and stomach, you may wish to refer to it, but remember to use the medicine under the guidance of Chinese medicine and not to use it at will.
