Do you have this kind of annoying situationThe upper body easily becomes hot and restless, with acne appearing on the face, a dry throat, and even the palms feeling warm; yet the lower body feels like carrying a block of ice, with legs and feet that never seem to warm up no matter how much they are covered, and even wearing sandals in summer feels chilly.Don't think these are just minor issues, in factLiver stagnation and spleen deficiency are "taking sides"。
Traditional Chinese Medicine states that the liver governs free flow and regulates qi movement. If you often suppress anger, experience high stress, or frequently stay up late, causing liver fire to flare up, the liver's "free flow pathway" can easily become blocked. Once this pathway is blocked, heat in the body cannot be expelled and instead surges upward, naturally making the upper body feel uncomfortably hot. Meanwhile, the spleen governs transportation and transformation, responsible for distributing heat and nutrients throughout the body. If spleen qi is deficient, its transportation and transformation capacity weakens, heat cannot reach the lower body, and the legs and feet tend to feel cold.
What should we do then? Don't panic, we have common medicines at homeXiaoyao WanIt can be of great use. The Bupleurum inside helps to soothe the liver and regulate qi, opening up the blocked "pathways" of the liver so that heat no longer pushes upward. Atractylodes and Poria can strengthen the spleen and dispel dampness, boosting the "motivation" of a deficient spleen to properly transport heat. Additionally, the warm-natured ginger adds warmth to the lower body, while licorice harmonizes the various herbs, allowing them to work together more seamlessly.
However, it is important to remind everyone that although Xiaoyao Pills are common, each person's situation is different. Just as some people have a constitution that tends to be hot and others tend to be cold, whether it is suitable to take them and for how long should be determined by a professional traditional Chinese medicine practitioner after syndrome differentiation.
