Fire, the problem that has plagued the Chinese nation for so many years has so far not been a complete solution. Compared to the dry north, the hot and humid south is more crushing, blisters at the corners of the mouth, mouth ulcers, burning throat ...... I believe that regardless of the north and south, a lot of small partners have such memories.

As an ancient Chinese medical concept, the symptom of fire is difficult to explain with the popular western medical thinking, so when people want to go to solve this problem, they will consider the methods of Chinese medicine. As a matter of fact, Chinese medicine does have many ways to treat fire.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, fire is a result of an imbalance in the balance of yin and yang in the human body, caused by the internal sensation of external evils, the imbalance of yin and yang in the human body, internal fire, the evil toxins against the body, and then manifested as a series of symptoms such as red eyes and swollen corners of the mouth.

When the fire is really difficult, everyone wants to quickly clear the heat and detoxification, a good "fire", but what to eat to help remove the fire? In fact, these wonderful Chinese medicine exists in every big and small corner around.

1, Honeysuckle

Honeysuckle is a widely loved infusion tea, the main into the lung meridian, stomach meridian, and into the large intestine meridian, for the clearing and detoxification products. It can clear away heat and detoxify the body, as well as evacuate wind-heat. And honeysuckle is inexpensive, easy to drink, both antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, lipid-lowering effect, where the need to move to where a multi-faceted, highly applicable.

However, since honeysuckle is still cold by nature, people with a weak spleen and stomach, as well as those with a deficiency of qi, should still be more considerate when using it.

2. Dandelion

Did you not realize that dandelion, which can be found everywhere, is also a heat-clearing agent? Dandelion belongs to the liver meridian and stomach meridian, has the effect of clearing heat and detoxification, diuretic dissolution. It has excellent effects on sore throat, swollen eyes, damp-heat jaundice and so on.

However, as with honeysuckle, due to its cold nature, it should be used with caution by those with weak spleen and stomach. At the same time, the single dosage of dandelion also needs to be controlled, or it may easily lead to diarrhea.

3. Banlangen

When it comes to clearing heat and removing fires, how can we not have Banlangen? I believe that when I was a child, every time I had a cold, I would have a big bowl of bluegrass root in my memories. The bitter, cold and clear, into the heart meridian, stomach meridian, clearing heat and detoxification, cooling the blood, and benefit the pharynx, for the sore throat has a very good therapeutic effect.

Similarly, people with weak spleen and stomach need to pay more attention when taking Panax quinquefolium and use it with caution or reduce the dose appropriately.

Fire is a very difficult thing, so in the summer is coming, more attention should be paid to diet, drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables, eat less spicy fried food. At the same time, hard exercise, pay attention to rest, a combination of work and rest, maintain emotional stability, the "fire" killed in the cradle, happy to meet the summer!
