Traditional Chinese medicine believes that when the Yin and Yang of the human body are out of balance and the internal fire is strong, it will get angry. The so-called “fire” is used to describe some hot symptoms in the body. People who get angry usually have yellow urine, toothache, red eyes and other symptoms.
Traditional Chinese medicine divides Shanghuo into solid fire and deficient fire. For different types of “fire”, the methods of removing “fire” are certainly different. For solid fire, the method of Purging Heat and reducing fire is generally used, while for weak fire, the method of tonifying is used.
When we get angry, how do we judge whether we are a real fire or a false fire?
1. Pee
Urination is yellow in color, heavy in smell, and red in tongue, which is solid fire; The color of urine is light and clear, which indicates that there is cold in the body and it is a false fire.
2. Look at the stool
Dry stool and red tongue are solid fire; Dry stool, light tongue and white tongue coating are still false fire; Loose and soft stool or diarrhea indicates that there is cold in the body, which is asthenic fire.
3. Look at the heat
When the body temperature exceeds 37.5 ℃, the whole body is dry and thirsty, which means that the internal heat is large and the fire is solid; When the hands and feet are cold, the body is cold and hot, and you don’t want to drink water. It is cold in your body, which is a false fire.
What are the symptoms of the five major organs of the human body getting angry?
I. heart fire: the difference between the virtual and the real
The external manifestations of heart fire are mostly: five heart annoyance and heat, insomnia, red tongue, blood blisters, dry throat and mouth, sore mouth and tongue.
There are two types of heart fire: deficiency and excess. Deficiency fire is manifested as low fever, night sweat, upset, dry mouth, etc; Excessive fire is manifested as repeated oral ulcer, dry mouth, short and red urine, upset and irritable.
The easiest way to distinguish between real fire and weak fire in the heart is to look at the tongue coating. If it is solid fire, the tongue coating is thick and yellow; The tongue of asthenia fire is red, and the tongue coating is not obvious. When it is not clear whether it is real fire or false fire, the tongue coating is the easiest to distinguish. Generally speaking, solid fire is accompanied by symptoms of yellow urine and dry stool.
II. Stomach fire: from insufficient food to insufficient food
Stomach fire refers to the pathological change of stomach heat that turns into fire. It is one of the “five fires” in traditional Chinese medicine. Also known as stomach heat, it is also divided into deficiency and excess. Stomach fire belongs to the rising of stomach fire, which is mostly caused by evil heat invading the stomach, excessive drinking and eating spicy food. “What is left in the school’s injection of medicine? Stomach fire”: “stomach fire is hot, thirst leads to drinking, gum decay or bleeding, face red and hot, and Yuye Decoction is the main one.” Stomach deficiency fire: refers to the deficiency of stomach yin and the upper flame of deficiency fire. Patients with this disease often have severe stomach pain, often feel hungry but eat little, dry mouth, dry lips, short urine, red tongue, thin pulse and other symptoms.
People with a fire in their stomach will produce excessive stomach acid when eating sweet and greasy fermented foods such as yogurt, which will make their stomach burn like fermentation, which is commonly known as heartburn. Patients with stomach fire will also have bad breath.
People with chronic gastritis, gastric neurosis, indigestion and other diseases are prone to stomach asthenia. People with a slight stomach fire tend to feel hungry, just like they don’t have enough to eat. This is actually an illusion given to the brain by stomach heat. When the stomach fire develops to the next stage, there will be inflammation in the stomach, and insufficient food will become insufficient.
