The cause of Upper Fire and Lower Cold is relatively complex, mainly due to the prolonged deficiency of kidney yang and the overabundance of yin, which cannot contain yang and makes yang float upwards. Symptoms are mainly manifested in the middle and upper jiao, the evidence of the upper jiao head fever, red and shiny face, head sweating, mouth and tongue sores, dry mouth and bitter mouth, irritable heat and night sweating. In the middle burner, there is burning pain in the stomach, noisy acidity, and nausea. Lower Jiao manifests as loose stools, heavy and weak legs and feet, fear of cold limbs, joints cold pain and unfavorable. The above are the main symptoms of upper fire and lower cold. So, how to regulate it? Now I would like to summarize one of the more commonly used methods for your reference.
The cure of drawing fire back to the source.
The upper fire and lower cold is mainly due to the deficiency of kidney yang, the yin is so strong that it can't contain yang, and the yang is floating upwards, the treatment should be to cultivate kidney yang to nourish the deficiency of kidney yang. However, for the severe deficiency of kidney yang, purely tonifying yang will often make the phenomenon of yang floating even more serious, therefore, while tonifying yang, warming and tonifying the kidney yang should be used to draw the fire back to the source of the fire, so that the yang does not go beyond the surface of the kidney to return to the source. This is also what the great physician Zhang Jingyue said, "Those who are good at tonifying yang must seek yang in yin, so that yang can be elevated by yin and the source of the spring will not be exhausted", thus enabling yin and yang to reach a relative balance. Here, for those who have the evidence of upper fire and lower cold, it is recommended to take Gui Fu Di Huang Wan to regulate. Gui Su Di Huang Wan is a formula based on the Six-flavored Di Huang Tang, which nourishes the kidneys, and is supplemented with Cinnamon and Prepared Pseudostemon. In the formula, six flavors of di Huang Tang nourishes the kidney yin, the preparation of cinnamon to warm the kidney yang, and lead the fire back to the source, which has the effect of leading the fire back to the kidneys, and has a better effect on the head heat and cold limbs of the upper fire and lower cold, and frequent urination.
Cinnamon is a familiar herb that is often used in stews to cook food. The medicinal effect of cinnamon is to tonify the fire and help the yang, and lead the fire to the kidney. Cinnamon can make the fire of floating over the introduction of the kidney yuan, is the main drug for the treatment of yin and yang floating, upper heat and lower cold. If you are suffering from upper heat and lower cold, you can always take some cinnamon. A single dose of 10g or 15g in water or decoction is fine. Please note! Cinnamon into the soup should not be decocted for a long time, in order to barely affect the efficacy.
The above is a short answer, and I look forward to comments to add to it if it is not sufficient.

Hello, as a permaculture girl, I want to share some permaculture dry goods~
In Chinese medicine, the kidney is water at the bottom and the heart is fire at the top, one is true yin and the other is true yang, and the most harmonious state is like the Tai Chi diagram, which is called water and fire.
The reason why people can survive is that the heart and kidneys have to intermingle is an important condition, heart fire has to go down and kidney water has to go up.
Kidney water can go up, see if there is saliva in the mouth, if there is, it means that the function of kidney water upward is still good, just because saliva for the "fluid of the kidney", on the contrary, if the mouth is always dry, always on fire, this is the heart and kidney intersection of the weakening of the function. --The heart and kidneys do not communicate with each other, and in the long run, you will also have an upper-heat and lower-cold constitution.The most obvious symptoms of upper heat and lower cold are:-
Some people often suffer from abdominal pain and diarrhea, dysmenorrhea, decreased sexual function, cold lower limbs, but if they eat a little hot food, they will have mouth ulcers, irritable heat, dry mouth and sore throat.
The key to treatment is to first regulate the spleen and stomach, open up the channels, and lead the "heat" from above to below, which is known as "heat" in Chinese medicine."Draw the fire back to the source."
Here is a very good method to recommend - the golden chicken stand alone
This movement draws the blood downward, and as Zhongli Ba Ren has written in his book [Seeking Healing], this is the simplest and most effective balancing method. This method allows the mind to focus and converge the qi and blood on the soles of the feet. But remember to close your eyes when you do it!

There is fire above and heat below, in short, upper heat and lower cold, first seen in Huang Di Nei Jing - Ling Shu, belongs to one of the manifestations of cold and heat mismatch. Upper heat and lower cold refers to the body in the same period of time, the upper focus of heat, the middle focus or lower focus of cold, middle focus heat, lower focus cool also belongs to the upper heat and lower cold.
The manifestations of upper heat and lower cold mainly include: upper heat: easy to catch fire, mouth ulcers, swollen and painful gums, mouth and tongue sores, sore throat, redness of the eyes, insomnia, etc.; lower cold: due to the coldness of the lower jiao, it is mostly manifested as the fear of cold, cold hands and feet, and the diet tolerates warmth but not cold, men may urinate too much at night, and other kidney yang deficiency symptoms, and women may have symptoms of uterine cold and menstrual cramps, etc. The significance of tongue diagnosis for upper heat and lower cold syndrome is obvious, in this case the tip of the tongue is red and the root of the tongue is white The tongue is red at the tip and white at the base.
Modern people because of the increase in brain activity at the same time physical activity and serious shortage of brain more attracting qi and blood upward, less activity in the middle jiao qi and blood activity is reduced easy to block, resulting in more and more on the heat under the cold evidence, and for the heat under the cold syndrome fire return to the source is the only therapy.
For the upper heat and lower cold, medical saint Zhang Zhongjing wrote "the theory of typhoid fever" has a very detailed discussion, and there are gardenia dry ginger soup, Huanglian soup, Wu Mei pill, dry ginger, scutellaria baicalensis, Huanglian ginseng soup, ephedra ascending flax soup, five representative of the formula used in the upper heat and lower cold syndrome. Of course, if you have the upper heat and lower cold syndrome, how to formulate the prescription, identification and treatment is the doctor's business, we in addition to follow the doctor's advice, in life, but also pay attention to some of the what, how to regulate in order to better cooperate with the treatment, an early recovery?
First of all, the daily diet should not be too hot and too cold, with the nature of the mild food, less spicy, mutton, leeks, garlic, durian and other hot food is also eaten sparingly, three meals at regular intervals, do not overeat and hurt the spleen and stomach, frying, barbecue, cold drinks, raw and hard food should not be eaten too much.
Secondly, to stay up less late and more exercise, stay up late for a long time, is not conducive to the normal birth of human yang qi, hidden, resulting in the lower focal point of the cold, often exercise, helps the operation of human qi and blood, alleviate the blockage of the middle focal point.
You can also use warm water or add mugwort foot soak every night, you can warm up the internal organs, which helps the development of Yang Qi. Kidney out of Yongquan, often rub Yongquan point (Yongquan point is located in the soles of the feet heart) to the heat is conducive to the water down the fire birth, up and down the cross Thai.
There is fire above and cold below. A simple explanation is that there is Fire in the Upper Jiao, and the Upper Jiao generally refers to the Heart and Lung functions, i.e., Heart Exuberance and Lung Heat. There is Cold in the lower part, and the lower part refers to the Liver and Kidneys, i.e. Liver stasis and Kidney deficiency.
The normal situation should be the same up and down, the upper fire and the lower cold means that the San Jiao is not working, resulting in the heat from above not being able to be transmitted down properly, which leads to the accumulation of excessive heat in the upper Jiao, while the lower Jiao does not get the heat and becomes cold.
To solve this kind of problem, you need to dredge the three jiao, focusing on the middle jiao, strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach, dredge the meridians, and discharge the stagnation, so that the natural heat can flow normally. You can use massage or gua sha, and with moxibustion to strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach, can be relieved.
After solving the problem, pay attention to strengthen the exercise, regular diet, do not eat cold drinks and cold food, regular work and rest, eat more millet, iron yam, potatoes, sweet potatoes, chestnuts and other spleen nourishing stomach food, slowly can be.
There are many formulas for treating upper heat and lower cold, and Semixia Diarrhea Heart Soup is one of the most representative formulas. Semixia 12 Scutellaria baicalensis 10 Dry ginger 10 Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae 1O Panax Ginseng (Codonopsis pilosulae) 1O Rhizoma Coptidis 3 Jujubes 4 slices, has a good effect on the upper heat and lower cold due to vomiting and intestinal tinnitus, and plumpness and hardness of the heart.

Chinese medicine says:There is fire above and cold below, what should I do to regulate it?
Good question and to the point!
Fire is the fire in the heart, in the human body, everyone has it, it has many different names depending on where it is located, and it also personifies different roles!
When we are calm, this is called "fire without fire", it hides in the kidney water, also known as yuanyang, and when the kidney water is there, it gets hot, and when it gets hot, it produces qi, because yuanyang is able to produce qi, and yuanyang is also known as yuantai!
This qi is powerful and inexhaustible when it comes from kidney water, and because it comes from yuanyang, so yuanyang is also called yuanjing! Kidney water in the essence to nourish the liver, liver wood blood to the heart, the heart of the heat to warm the spleen, the spleen and earth to produce water and grain essence to fill the lungs, the lungs and gold clear and clean down to nourish the kidney water, so that the five organs and six bowels around the body rely on the qi of the kidneys and health!
You can see that when the heart fire hides in the water, it generates qi, and people rely on this qi to survive; without qi, they die, and it can also be seen that once the heart fire leaves the water and exceeds a certain degree, it is over! When does the fire of the heart leave the water? When the heart is not peaceful, the heart is not peaceful to produce the "desire", "desire" will have to seek, seek not to be able to resentment, depression, hate, joy, anger, worry, thoughts, sadness, fear, shock, on the five karmic ablaze, the five Zhi on the transformation of the fire! When fire is transformed, it injures yin, and a series of names come up one after another. 再说了,肾中一无火,就寒,就淤,就堵,就不通,就生湿,生痰,生饮,生积聚……,也是一系列的名堂又接踵而来。 Fire towards the top towards the outside, water on the bottom on the inside, so in the human body on the manifestation of the symptoms of the upper heat and lower cold!
How do you regulate it?
People, when they get sick, they get scared, they get upset, they get disoriented! It's even more troublesome when the soul is in a state of shock.
Therefore, the first is not to be afraid, the second is to find a doctor, the third is to cooperate with the treatment, and the fourth is to respect the doctor's advice! The fifth is to correct bad habits, the sixth is to learn medical knowledge, the seventh is not to look down on traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, the eighth is to be a socially useful person with an open mind, and the tenth is not to be able to just lose one's temper, and so on! In short, the person is rare, go no longer come, to cherish life for the hope!
There are some interesting sayings in Chinese medicine, "fire above, cold below", do you know what it means? In Chinese medicine, the kidney is at the bottom of the body, which is water, and the heart is at the top of the body, which is fire. These two organs a in the upper, a in the lower; one is the true yin, one is the true yang, as if the black and white fish of Tai Chi, looks completely different in nature, but the two organs can only interact harmoniously, the body can be healthy, which in Chinese medicine is called the heart and kidneys intersect, water and fire. When the kidney water can not be up, always dry mouth, fire, and the heart fire can not be down, the lower limbs are always cold and not warm, such a symptom, is the heart and kidney are not intertwined, that is, the upper side of the fire, the lower side of the cold. The most obvious symptom is that some people always have stomach pain, diarrhea, sexual function decline, but also very easy to fire, often sores on the corners of the mouth, sore throat and annoying heat. Want to regulate the "upper side of the fire below the cold", the key is to regulate the spleen and stomach, open the channel, the heat above the guide to the bottom, traditional Chinese medicine will be this method of regulation known as the "fire return to the source".

When it's cold, don't wear navel dresses, backless dresses, or small suspenders, and pay attention to preventing cold and keeping warm. In the medication, the most symptomatic is Gui Su Dihuang Wan, Gui Su Dihuang Wan is in the six flavors of dihuang pills on the basis of the addition and subtraction of changes, which added more cinnamon, epimedium, there are tonifying the kidney to help the Yang, lead to the fire back to the original effect of the fire, for the fire under the cold has the symptomatic treatment of the role of the.

2. The essential cause of upper heat and lower cold is lower cold, and upper heat is only the symptom, so the treatment should be warming and tonifying the lower jiao, collecting yang qi, and regulating the middle jiao. Dr. Li's clinical use of Gui Fu Dihuang Tang, Gui Fu Lizhong Tang, etc., coupled with the regulation of the middle jiao spleen and stomach, the effect is good. Never use cold drugs that clear heat and detoxify toxins, and antibiotics should be used with caution.
