Upper heat and lower cold constitution, the face is always pimples skin rough very, cold legs and feet, these will be caused by the upper heat and lower cold caused by the head and face, so that the head and face have a false fire, and our legs and do not get the warmth of yang qi.

So why is it that with this type of constitution, when you want to take warm herbs, the moment you drink them, you get on fire, irritable and tinnitus?

It is because we middle blockage, middle jiao blockage, eat nothing, spleen and stomach power is insufficient, then this time should not eat hot Chinese medicine, hot food should be eaten as little as possible, especially spicy and stimulating food, some fat, sweet, greasy and difficult to digest, will give us a huge burden on the spleen and stomach, for a long time, we are hot on the bottom of the cold physique will become very difficult to improve.

Chinese medicine believes that the upper heat and lower cold is Yang Sheng in the upper, Yin Sheng in the lower, the upper and lower does not traffic, also known as the heart and kidneys do not communicate, manifested in the upper body, especially the head, face, throat, etc., there is heat, and the lower body, especially the lower limbs are cold symptoms.

Personally, I believe that the upper heat and lower cold is caused by the lack of access to the middle jiao, which also represents the spleen and stomach. Because we usually stay up late for a long time, tired, irregular diet and work and other bad habits lead to the middle jiao, resulting in the water and fire road is not smooth, the virtual fire on the top, cold water stops at the bottom, that is, we often say that the water and fire do not help, so only the middle jiao of the qigong unblocked, the water and fire channel will naturally become smooth, the kidney water can be up to the heart of the heart fire so that the virtual inflammation is not hyper on the heart of the heart can be warmed under the kidney water, gasification of the lower jiao! Yin evil, which is the ultimate solution to the problem. For the case of upper heat and lower cold, it is recommended to regulate the spleen and stomach, detoxify the liver, nourish the kidney water and then balance the yin and yang to lower the fire. Go to the hospital and find a Chinese medicine doctor to prescribe Chinese medicine to regulate.

Heat on the top and cold on the bottom:

One refers to the misuse of medication that leads to injury to the fluid and the upward inflammation caused by the fire evil.

Secondly, it refers to the deficiency of kidney yang, which is caused by the inflammation of deficiency fire.

As far as the question asked is concerned, it belongs to Kidney-Yang deficiency.

The treatment cannot be done with Yang tonic medicines alone, but with medicines that draw the fire downward, such as Ox Knee, in order to bring the fire back to its original state.

Failure to add similar medications will only make the deficiency fire more intense and the symptoms of upper heat more pronounced.

Upper heat and lower cold are symptoms of mixed heat and cold. The heart lives in the upper jiao belongs to the fire, the kidney lives in the lower jiao belongs to the water, if the function of the middle jiao spleen ascending and stomach descending malfunction, the heart fire can't descend and upward hyperactivity, the kidney water can't go upward and downward leakage, the imbalance of the relationship between yin and yang, water and fire will often appear on the heat under the cold. The main cause is weakness from prolonged illness, overthinking, depression, etc. The main manifestations are insomnia, palpitations, dizziness, tinnitus, lumbago and leg weakness, five heartburn, mouth and tongue sores with fear of cold, and frequent urination.

Most of the hot Chinese medicines have the nature of pungent warmth and dryness, pungent can be dispersed can be traveled, the main rise, warmth to get rid of cold. Hot Chinese medicine easy to lead to the principle of fire mainly in two aspects: 1, "fire is inflammation", on the hot and cold people can not draw fire downward, the upper part of the body itself is hot, such as red face and eyes, irritability, thirst for cold drinks, yellow thick snot, spit yellow phlegm, short yellow urine, stool dryness, etc., this time to take the warm medicines, it will further aggravate the symptoms. 2, "yang victory is yin disease", heat is yang, on the hot people taking warm medicine will make the yang more exuberant, and can even deplete the yin fluid and the emergence of yin bias decline in pathological manifestations such as the five heartburn, emaciation, dry mouth and pharynx, tongue red and less fluid, such as the signs of deficiency heat. People with upper heat and lower cold can take warming medicines that can cause both solid fire and deficiency fire.

Although warming medicines can dispel cold, but the upper heat and lower cold people to take will lead to hyperactivity of yang or yin deficiency symptoms, appear or aggravate the symptoms of fire, it is generally not recommended to take warming medicines to dispel the cold of the lower burner. The way to regulate the upper heat and lower cold is to make the heart yang down to warm the kidney yin, kidney yin up to nourish the heart yang, the upper and lower intersect, dynamic and static, to maintain the "water and fire", "heart and kidney intersect" of the relative state of equilibrium. Chinese medicine is more commonly used to regulate is Jiaotai Pill, the formula of Huanglian diarrhea surplus of the heart fire, cinnamon warm Jing Yi fire, can lead the fire back to the source, the two drugs can play a role in the transportation of the heart and kidneys.

Upper heat and lower cold is a common symptom of modern people, its main manifestation is the coexistence of heat and cold evidence: perennial fire, always mouth ulcers, tongue sores, chronic pharyngitis, insomnia, while at the same time showing a lot of symptoms of cold, such as a fat tongue, the big fish margins of the blue, cold lower limbs.

In terms of diet, this group of people is also very "difficult to serve", eat a little hot will be on fire, eat a little cold will hurt the yang, can only eat warm things.

I. Symptoms of upper heat and lower cold

For people with an "upper heat and lower cold" constitution, one or more of the following symptoms may occur at the same time

get angry

• Love of fire: mouth ulcers, sore throat, toothache, swollen cheeks, nosebleeds
• Chronic otitis media
• Redness and swelling of the eyes, dryness and astringency of the eyes
• Adults still get acne
• Thyroid-like problems
• Headache, headache, swelling, dizziness and even high blood pressure

downward spiral (of weather)

• Coldness below the belly button and frequent diarrhea
• Cold back, cold knees
• Dysmenorrhea in women, cold and moist scrotum in men
• Cold hands and feet, especially cold
• Diet tolerant of temperature but not cold
• Dull complexion, dark spots, even edema
• Constipation or loose stools

In addition to all this, there is something very important: insomnia.

Upper heat and lower cold, above, is full of fire, below is a cold, upper and lower transportation, heart and kidney, naturally it is difficult to fall asleep. All parts of the body are interrelated and affect each other.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), there is actually a more accurate way to express upper heat and lower cold: "true cold and false heat" or "Yang does not return to its place".

Second, why does heavy cold cause "fire"?

The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine says: "Now the fever, all the typhoid fever and so on also ...... the person's injury to the cold also, then for the disease of heat".

This sentence points out that "Cold is the cause of heat disease", the body cold evil excess, will be excluded from the yang qi, yang qi upward and outward dispersion, will be manifested in the upper part of the heat phenomenon, the person will appear on the fire symptoms. In other words, body cold is the root cause of fire!

When modern people regardless of the season a large number of mistakenly eat a variety of cold fruits and vegetables, when people in the summer after the long-term use of air-conditioning, when the ladies in order to show the body as little as possible after the dress, a large number of cold and damp is quietly into the body, the natural kidney fire is more and more insufficient, the virtual fire is more and more big.

Some friends after the fire, the first thought is to use the fire medicine, but often fall into the more you eat the more serious circle, this situation is on the hot under the cold. Because of the heat under the cold is due to cold, and the defeat of fire medicine is cold things, taking them will only make you cold on the cold, false on the false, the more the fire is bigger!

Therefore, before you can deal with fire, you also need to distinguish whether it is a real fire or a false fire?

Real fire: Rarely get on fire, but after eating something, then suddenly get on fire, this is mostly real fire;

Deficiency fire: often mouth ulcers, tongue sores, acne, insomnia and other symptoms of heat, drink herbal tea will be a little better, but not when you do not drink it and recurring episodes.

The properties of fire are different, and the treatments are naturally different.

Bottom line: Use diarrhea for solid fire, mainly to clear heat and reduce fire, and recommend taking fire-absorbing medicines (e.g. Niuhuang Xieyue Pill);

Deficiency fire is treated with tonic methods, mainly by replenishing Yang and nourishing Yin.

And, to address the deficiency fire, tonifying Yang and nourishing Yin do not contradict each other.

Because the weaker the yang, the heavier the body cold, the weaker the spleen and stomach, and the spleen and stomach is the source of qi and blood biochemistry, the spleen and stomach is weak, qi, blood and fluid will be insufficient, the body will be hot and dry. Therefore, people with perennial deficiency fire, the body is often both yin and yang deficiency.

Third, the body's yin and yang reversed, it will be on the hot under the cold

Yang is the main ascending and Yin is the main descending. However, if yang is always up and yin is always down, it is a separation of yin and yang, indicating that there is no intersection between yin and yang, you are you and it is it, then it cannot constitute a relationship of opposites and constraints, mutual root and mutual use, there is no interaction between the two, and of course, there will not be any relationship, any change.

On the contrary, only when yang is at the bottom and rises from the bottom, and yin is at the top and descends from the top, can the two be related, and only when they are related can they be opposites and constraints, rooted in each other, balanced, and transformed into each other, and this is what is called "yin and yang sympathy".

Therefore, the ideal state of the human body is that yin is on top and yang is on the bottom, and when you reverse it, you get hot on top and cold on the bottom.

So why is yin and yang reversed? According to Chinese medicine, the heart is the main fire, located in the upper part of the body, like the sun in the sky; the kidney is the main water, located in the lower part of the body, like the river on the ground. Water and fire do not help, the body of qi and blood yin and yang can not circulate properly, yin and yang is upside down.

To use an analogy, suppose heart fire and kidney water are two cars, in order for the two cars to meet, two conditions must be met: first, the car itself is normal; second, the road is not blocked.

V. Modern people, why is everyone a bit hot on top and cold underneath?

People, with the heart in one place, the energy will go to that place, modern people use the brain more than enough, not enough legs. Think a lot, move less. People think, energy both accumulated to the head, think more always accompanied by anxiety, tension, heart fire has been on the Tengteng. Exercise less, the body's circulation ability is poor, coupled with eating cold, wearing less, spleen and kidney yang deficiency, then the lower jiao will become more and more cold.

The spleen and stomach, because of excessive thinking, because of eating too much support also too rough and fast, bear too much burden, everyone has a little spleen deficiency, the spleen and stomach represents the middle jiao, also relatively weak transport. Weakening the movement of the body's upper and lower jiao. As a result, all modern people have a little bit of upper heat and lower cold. Think about it, if a person, the mind is calm, not tangled, the belly warm hands and feet warm, the spleen and stomach because of eating not too much and not too little and good transportation, it would be so beautiful!

Six, how to regulate the upper heat and lower cold people

When regulating people with upper heat and lower cold, it is important to remember not to clear heat or nourish, but to open up the middle jiao stronghold, draw the fire down, and traffic the heart and kidneys. Drawing fire back to the center: drawing down the deficiency fire in the head and face to nourish the kidneys

(1) moxa leaf foot soak: the upper focal point of the fire to draw down, while moxa leaf foot soak to dispel cold and dampness, heavy fire and cold hands and feet, swollen legs when soaking to a slight sweat, do not sweat. It should be noted that the power of moxa to draw down the fire is large, people with insufficient qi and blood can not soak for too long, because the qi and blood to draw down, people will be a little dizzy. This is the only way to draw down the fire in the head and face.

(2) golden chicken standing alone: conducive to the convection of cold and heat, one foot standing, the other foot raised, hands naturally down, eyes gently closed, stand for 3 to 5 minutes, a foot to stand, change the other foot, twice a day can be. Ask your mind to focus on the stability of the thighs and feet. The energy of the human body will be transferred downward, and the heart fire will be able to hand over to the kidney water downward, so as to achieve the purpose of drawing the fire back to the source.

3) Immortal Belly Rub: Rub the middle jiao to help the body move in a circular motion. Once a day, so that the internal organs of the qi and blood run smoothly, sufficient vital energy. The upper and lower parts of the body will be harmonized, clear and turbid will be elevated, the old will be removed and the new will be born, and all kinds of evils from the outside will be expelled from the body.

(4) walking on tiptoe: tonifying the kidneys and driving away cold, massaging the three yin meridians of the foot, harnessing the qi upward and warming the kidneys through the foot-shaoyin kidney meridian. Brush your teeth in the morning, get dressed, can do ~ each walk 30 to 50 steps, take a short break, and then according to their own physical condition and then repeat a few groups. The speed can be self-adjusted to feel comfortable and relaxed.

Wood can lead to unblocking

This is a very simple natural phenomenon, but the general public is not very good at dealing with, the reason is that you have seen the fire, right, with something to beat, the fire is not only not small but bigger, but more than a few shots on the extinguished, but some people he shot the fire on the bigger on the scared, so the professional and unprofessional is a different matter, the professional is to know that the development of things happen and return to the ability to cope with the ability to effectively adhere to as well as to give up, wherever possible to achieve a therapeutic Any medicine that can achieve a therapeutic effect will produce the opposite of a state.

For example, painkillers will certainly cause pain, causing nerve sensitivity, regulating menstruation will certainly cause menstrual irregularities, is because he has this function so he will produce this effect, so the treatment of the upper heat and lower cold is the need to draw the fire back to the source, this time, no matter whether it is with hot drugs, warm drugs will be on fire, that is, with the cold will be on fire, the reason is that it is being regulated, so traditional Chinese medicine is to nourish the yin medicine to add warmth to the medicine.

A large number of warm tonic medicine to add nourishing medicine, play a yin and yang mutual root mutual birth effect, can be a steady stream but in the use of drugs will certainly cause some disorders but this disorder will be due to the continued intervention of drugs will change, and ultimately become normal up, so a variety of drugs to achieve the effect ultimately can not be separated from a, according to the rules of the course of treatment with medication, or else when a use on the contrary is disordered, but this is just the essence of the present image! It is because the treatment is effective so caused by the change of the problem, sometimes it will become more chaotic and worse, but adhere to the medication will achieve the effect of conditioning, than which cleaning home will be more dirty and chaotic, a stop on the more chaotic, but insist on sweeping down to the end of the clean, so this is a law of nature, to the fire to throw the ice and water will cause the fire will cause a firestorm, but then come to the normal.
