Life is extremely complex and many of its mysteries are still unknown to us. Understanding life often relies on metaphors, such as memory, how we remember things, understanding our memories in terms of computer coding, storage, extraction, etc. Without the metaphor of the computer or other metaphors, we would not be able to say anything about how we remember things. Try it if you don't believe me.

So, how can a person have functional activity and a constant body temperature? Traditional Chinese medicine has a more complex theory of the fire of the life gate, the heart is the main fire. Simple understanding, is that the human body has fire and is stable, not more or less, to maintain the body's normal functional activities and body temperature, the normal fire in the human body "Huang Di Nei Jing" called "less fire", the fire more called "strong fire", that is, "fire". The normal fire in the human body is called "less fire" and more fire is called "strong fire", which is also known as "fire".

The term "on fire" was not seen in earlier medical books, but is now a commonly used term, which is a very common image and a term that is very characteristic of Chinese medicine. The term "on fire" can also be understood as a metaphor. "On fire" means that there is more fire in the body. Fire upward flame, head and face appear dry throat and mouth, tooth pain, etc. ...... is "on fire".

So how do you understand the fire within the human body? From the nature of fire, fire is an oxidation reaction, the fire in the human body is also an oxidation reaction, eaten food and inhaled oxygen in the cell oxidation reaction, to produce energy and heat, to maintain body activity and body temperature. This oxidation reaction and the natural world to see the essence of fire burning is the same, just a different form of reaction, so with modern science to understand, the human body itself does have a chemical reaction that produces fire. If there is no fire, then the life activity also stops, which is also called the fire of life. Of course, the fire should also be kept within a certain range, such as body temperature should be around 37 degrees, if the fire is too high, people will be uncomfortable, there will be a lot of redness, swelling, heat, pain, hyperfunctioning, etc. Specifically like the performance of the fire. "Fire" is fire, strong fire, Yang hyper, heat, in short, more fire.

As for "lowering the fire", it is very easy to understand. It can also be called "lowering the fire" or "clearing the fire", where medicines or food are used to bring the fire in the body to a normal state.

According to Chinese medicine theory, medicines and foods have five different properties: cold, hot, warm, cool and peaceful. Eating too much cold food leads to cold syndrome, and eating too much hot food leads to fire, so medicines and food can regulate the balance of fire to achieve the purpose of treatment and prevention.

For example, eat chili, mutton is hot, because it contains high protein and high fat energy high or stimulating strong make us on fire, eat cucumber, bitter melon is cold, because it contains low energy or water, make us down fire. In short, there is a certain scientific reason.

Chinese medicine is science.

Fire was once explained in terms of modern medical theories. In general, the essence of fire is the manifestation of hyperfunctioning of tissues and organs in the body.

The word "up" in "upper fire" denotes orientation, which, in addition to being located in an elevated position, refers to the extra burden placed on the body by hyperfunctioning tissues and organs.

Dietary fire, generally real fire, is caused by the intake of certain diets that are mostly irritating to the tissues and organs, stimulating their hyperfunction. A small portion of the fire diets are consumptive and place an additional burden on the body, and this condition causes a false fire.

In the case of real fire, the main goal is to alleviate the irritation caused by diet and thus the hyperfunction; in the case of deficiency fire, it is to replenish the extra nutrients consumed by the body. Of course, the process of lowering both types of fire can also be used to reverse the stimulation and treatment of abnormalities in the organs that have already become hyperfunctional, i.e., treating both the symptoms and the root cause of the problem. Here, however, it is the reverse stimulation and treatment of abnormalities in the organs that have already produced hyperfunction that is the symptom.

What are the scientific principles of fire or fire reduction, as long as they are taught by Chinese medicine practitioners?

The word science is emerging, it didn't used to be oh, Chinese medicine is too old so it's not connected to science, but maybe it's just that science nowadays can't explain the stuff in Chinese medicine yet.

Let's say you're giving a lecture with science on how the Yamaha Sutra can be such an oxymoron. You're using science to tell me about PuiBeiTu. So don't anything is associated with science, there are a lot of science can't explain, just give the word superstition, and so on after how many years, can use science to explain, just put that before that is superstitious things, said are too high-tech.

The reason why Chinese medicine is not easy to learn is that it is too abstract, you can't see it, but you can feel it, so Chinese medicine is about enlightenment.

Let's take for example what you said about fire and fire reduction.

The cycle of the four seasons of the year, spring, summer, autumn and winter, the cycle is repeated, you think about the spring is the revival of all things oh, vibrant, summer is the heat is unbearable, a hundred flowers, ah, autumn is the autumn high and refreshing, harvesting the fruits of the frost under the leaves fall, the winter of all things withered, the river, the earth are frozen, this is the cycle of nature, we see the climate change, all things in the world with the change of nature and the change of the change of the world.

A day is also like the change of the seasons of the year, for example, the morning is like spring, the noon is like summer, the evening is like autumn, and the late night is like winter, and the human body is also like the change of the nature and the change of the human body.

Chinese medicine has long talked about the unity of heaven and man, and this is part of it.

All things in this world receive incomplete qi from nature, and because they receive incomplete qi, their own qi is biased, and Chinese medicine is to observe their bias and use their bias to regulate the body, which is what Chinese medicine is all about.

Chinese medicine treatment of disease is to use cold medicines for hot diseases and hot medicines for cold diseases. There is nothing wrong with this general direction.

You see you are on fire, in fact, it is the fire should follow the meridians, but because the fire did not follow the meridians, and went to other places, so you will have a disease, for example, the foot yangming gastric meridian is a circle around the mouth, and then go all the way to the feet, but your stomach meridian of the fire away from the stomach meridian, and went to the outside, so your gums are red, swollen, painful, and in the kidneys meridian to the gums, and similarly the fire did not follow the kidneys meridian cycle, so your gums are red, swollen and painful, in the kidney meridian to the gums, and similar fire did not follow the kidney meridian circulation. So your gums are red, swollen and painful. This is why in Chinese medicine, there are many types of the same disease, and through the four diagnostic methods, we can determine the type of the disease, and then we can use medicines that can correct this type of disease.

Look at the chrysanthemums and lotus hearts you're using.

What does it mean that chrysanthemums can still bloom in the fall, even if it's frosty?

Autumn frost, most of the leaves are falling, indicating that the autumn gas is down, autumn harvest, chrysanthemums can be opened, indicating that the chrysanthemums get the most of the gas of the autumn harvest, so chrysanthemum gas is down, because the five elements of the five elements of the fall, the main gold, the five elements of the five elements of the human organs, the lungs are the main gold, so the chrysanthemums into the lungs meridian, but chrysanthemums and white, yellow points, lungs five colors of the main white, so the white chrysanthemums, the best to clear down the lungs, the yellow chrysanthemums clear down the fire gas better. Yellow chrysanthemum is the best for clearing and lowering lung qi.

Lotus heart, which receives the heat of summer, which is dominated by heart fire, is cold in nature because it is born in water. Lotus heart is the young leaf and embryonic root of the lotus seed, so it enters the heart meridian and kidney meridian of human beings. Lotus heart can draw the heart fire into the kidney meridian and reduce the fire.

You see that you use chrysanthemum to lower the lung qi in order to bring down the fire qi, and you use lotus heart to communicate with the heart and kidneys, so that the heart fire qi can be lowered to the kidneys, and so you recover from the swollen and painful gums quickly.

This is Chinese medicine. You call Chinese medicine science? How can this thing be explained by science? But explaining or not explaining releases aside, as long as it can cure diseases, that's fine, when in a few decades, science is more advanced, it will be almost able to explain Chinese medicine Chinese medicine.

Feel free to like and follow.

Ingredients determine fire and fire reduction

This problem is too big, you use modern science as the standard to test Chinese medicine, what is the use? Hit the head to the final fall of Chinese medicine is worthless, Chinese medicine thousands of years of civilization, if not useful, would have died.

The vastness of Chinese medicine is not something that the average person can figure out.

1, drink more water, drinking water is the best way to detoxification, by drinking water our body can dilute the toxins in the body, through the urine discharge. Drinking enough water every day can not only promote metabolism, but also can be more harmful substances out of the body.

2, appropriate to eat some cool fruits. For example, kiwi, watermelon and so on

3, eat more vegetables, most of the vegetables are alkaline, can be gathered in the cells of the toxins dissolved.

4, drink more congee, especially lotus seed soup and mung bean porridge. It can also properly play a preventive role.

5. Regular work and rest.

Yin and Yang are out of whack!

The so-called science, not yet able to observe the hot and cold substances, so now science can not explain, and then wait for a hundred years, may be able to.

Fire refers to excessive intake of proteinaceous foods or other causes of hyperfunctioning of the organism. Lowering of the fire refers to the calming of the organism's functions due to corresponding vitamin intake or other causes. Of course if it is lowered too much it can lead to under-functioning of the organism and create new problems.
