The properties of food exist. "Medicine and food" is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese people for thousands of years of life. All food has "five flavors" that is, sour, salty, sweet, bitter and pungent: and "four qi" that is, hot, cold, warm and cool.

I don't believe you just try. You eat two days of chili plus lamb kebabs to see on the 🔥 chant, you then drink two days of white chrysanthemum, eat some watermelon and then see the fire can disappear. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to do that.

Warm, hot, cold and cool are the four different medicinal properties referred to in the question as the "four qi". Warm and hot, cold and cool, but only to different degrees, large temperature is equivalent to heat, slightly cold is equivalent to cool. There is also a bias is not obvious flat drugs, nature of peace, but also have a warm, cool different. Cold and cool are yin medicines, with the effect of clearing heat and fire, detoxifying and nourishing yin; warm and hot are yang medicines, with the effect of dispelling cold and assisting yang, warming the middle and opening the channels. Therefore, cold and cool medicines are often used in Yang and hot cases; warm and hot medicines are often used in Yin and cold cases.

Practice produces true knowledge. Warm, hot, cold and cool these four different drug properties are after a long period of practice, from the drug effect on the body of the reaction occurs summed up and is recognized. For example, drugs that can treat hot symptoms are considered to be cold in nature; drugs that can treat cold symptoms are considered to be warm in nature.

Medicine and food come from the same source, drugs have four qi, so does food. Such as dry ginger, cinnamon, Sichuan pepper, etc. can dispel cold and help Yang, we call it warm food. Such as watermelon, mung beans, rutabaga can clear heat and fire, we call it cold food. This is the reason why you can drink ginger water to get rid of cold in winter and green bean soup to relieve heat in summer.

Whether it is food or medicine, warm and hot, cold and cold are all present. So people must pay attention when eating, spleen and stomach cold people should avoid eating cold, stomach heat blazing people should avoid eating warm and fatty.

Chinese medicine believes that food and medicine have the same origin, warm and hot - cold and cold - the property is there and there is also a relationship between birth and death. In our daily life, we all understand: the extreme cold begets heat - the extreme heat begets cold.

It does exist!

According to the theory of Chinese medicine, all foods, like Chinese herbs, have their sexual flavors, i.e., cold, warm, sweet, and flat.

For example, pork is cold. Beef and lamb are warm. Bitter melon and cabbage are cold. Ginger and green onion are warm.

As a result of a variety of food has its own characteristics and role. So that is to say that human beings skillfully use the laws of nature, with the partiality of food to correct the human body caused by yin and yang bias bias decline and internal organs and meridians dysfunction. The basic role of food partiality, not only can get rid of the evil, support positive and solidify the root, coordination of internal organs and meridians function, so that the body to restore to the normal state of yin and yang secret.

If you have any other questions, please "follow" my headline and I will answer them in detail.

I'm a student of Chinese medicine and health care, let me tell you my opinion

First of all, the Chinese medicine with the method is according to the Chinese medicine of the four qi, five flavors, attributed to the Jing, lifting and lowering sinking and floating, complementary to the excretion of medicinal properties to collocation, such as treatment of heat to cold medicine, treatment of cold to hot medicine, according to the body's condition dialectic to collocation with the use of the body, or else ate not only ineffective but also play a role in counteracting the many appetites are medicinal and food, so that there is a therapeutic diet, therapeutic diet is indeed also one of the methods of conditioning and prevention of early illnesses!

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), there is a definite and necessary existence regarding the warmth and coolness of food.

For example, millet: millet is warm, people with bad spleen and stomach must drink more millet porridge.

Vegetables and fruits: durian, cherries, longan and lychee are all warm. Bitter melon belongs to the cold, green pepper belongs to the warm, bitter melon plus green pepper fried on the neutralization of food partiality. Of course there are many, work time reasons I will only give examples of these kinds of it 😄!

Chinese medicine in the so-called sex temperature, cold food from the dialectical point of view is no problem, but also is very objective and fair, each food chemical composition is different, people eat after there will be different physiological reactions. For example, chili pepper, it should be hot food, people eat from the mouth to the stomach and then to the anus will have a burning sensation. Another example is the bitter melon people eat after the stomach and intestines will have a slight cold and even some people will have diarrhea, this food should be cold food it. No longer enumerated, in short, I personally believe that Chinese medicine is established.

Thousands of true theories, thousands of years of Chinese medicine food theory development of the total solution, the practice of true knowledge of the conclusion, a variety of food, have its sweet and sour, bitter and spicy, hot, warm, medium, cold, such as, chili pepper, cinnamon, cumin, is hot, lamb, dog meat, ginger, green onions to warm, flour, soybeans, corn, belonging to the neutral, mung beans, buckwheat, bitter gourd, a little bit of cool, it is often said, eat grains and cereals, to protect the Body balance and health, this is the reason, summer eating radish, winter eating ginger, the body flawless health forever.

Existence.

Chinese medicine said that the food hot and cold said that the Department of the eight syllabus in the two syllabus of one of the things of a certain kind, the essence of its relative, for different foods and different people and different geographical populations need to be debated and argued. There is no set thing in the world.
And it is the dialectic of Chinese medicine that is applied to the state of living body operation under dynamic conditions.
