Always feeling dry, bitter, and smelly? It is these 3 places of the body that need to be "extinguished"

If you have dry mouth, bitter mouth, or bad breath after waking up, it is normal.

But if the situation is not relieved after brushing your teeth, and the mouth is uncomfortable all day, you should pay attention to it!

The weather is dry, and the body is easy to "catch fire" if you are not careful, especially in these three places!

The first place: the liver is hot

The first thing to consider when there is a dry mouth, bitter mouth, and bad breath is whether the liver is hot.

If it is accompanied by symptoms of redness, swelling and pain, increased eye droppings or dry eyes, tiredness, dizziness, blurred vision, and tinnitus like the sound of cicadas or the rumbling of a train.

It proves that you really need to "fire down"! However, the liver fire is divided into the real and the false, and the syndrome differentiation is correct before it works! 

For the false fire - white chrysanthemum tea

White chrysanthemum has a sweet taste, has the effect of flattening the liver and brightening the eyes, nourishing yin and reducing fire, can calm the relatively hyperactive "false fire" by benefiting the liver and replenishing yin, and has a protective effect on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular vessels.

【Dosage】Put 5 to 10 white chrysanthemums each time, brew with boiling water and drink.

For the real fire - Kuding tea

【Sexual taste】Sweet, bitter, cold.

【Returning to the meridians】into the liver, lungs, and stomach.

【Indications】Clearing wind and heat, brightening the eyes.

【Contraindications】People with spleen and stomach deficiency should take it with caution, menstruating women and those with poor stomach should not take it.

【Suggestion】For those who drink Kuding tea for the first time, you can put a Kuding tea leaf. After taking it for a long time and increasing the dosage slowly, you can stop taking it until you don't feel uncomfortable or have diarrhea, and the symptoms are relieved.

Kuding tea is recommended to be drunk after a meal to prevent bitter chills from hurting the stomach.

We can't forget two words to clear the liver fire:

1. "Quit" staying up late: During the dog days, the weather is hot, which will naturally affect the sleep state at night, and many people simply hold their mobile phones and do not sleep, which is very harmful to the liver. 

2. "Press" Taichong: Soak your feet in warm water for 10 minutes, and then massage your feet with your thumb and fingertips respectively, 3 minutes each time, do 2~3 times. 


The second place: the heart is on fire

The fire of the heart is divided into real fire and virtual fire.

Real fire: Initial manifestations of upset, depression, flushing of the tip of the tongue, and more severely, mouth ulcers. In addition, there are symptoms such as dry mouth, less yellow urine, and constipation. 

Deficiency of fire: This part of the people is often caused by blood deficiency or yin deficiency, and if the heart yin is insufficient, there will be a situation where yin does not control yang, and deficiency heat turns into fire, which is usually manifested as low-grade fever, night sweats, insomnia, etc. 

The real fire should be clear - lotus seed heart tea

【Ingredients】3 grams of lotus seed heart.

【Method】Put the lotus seed heart into a bowl, brew with boiling water, cover and simmer for 5~10 minutes before drinking.

【Usage】1 dose per day, can be brewed multiple times, and drink frequently instead of tea.

【Avoidance】It is suitable for people with hot heart and liver, hot and sleepless, upset and thirsty, dizziness and heavy head, palpitations, insomnia, red and swollen eyes, and high blood pressure. It is best drunk in the hot summer season; People with spleen and stomach deficiency should not use it.

This tea is a traditional tea that cleans the heart and goes to fire, which has the effect of lowering blood pressure, quenching polydipsia, dissipating heat and improving sleep.

False fire should be supplemented - lily white fungus lotus seed soup

[Ingredients] 30 grams of fresh lily, 30 grams of white fungus, 25 grams of lotus seeds, and an appropriate amount of rock sugar.

【Method】First put the white fungus and lotus seeds into the pot, add water and boil for 30 minutes, then add lily and rock sugar, and continue to cook for 20 minutes until the lotus seeds are soft and the soup is sticky.

【Usage】Take 1 time a day for several days.

【Taboo】Suitable for people with yin deficiency and internal heat, irritability, insomnia, palpitations, forgetfulness, mental trance, and dry cough. People with cold and damp condensation and intestinal slippery diarrhea should not eat more.

This soup can nourish yin and moisten dryness, clear the heart and calm the mind, and is often used for upset, insomnia, and restlessness.

To cultivate the heart, you should "sit" more:

Meditation relaxes the mind and body, adjusts irritability, and at the same time relieves the mind.

There are no strict requirements for meditation, it can be done at any time, and there is no hard time limit.

The third place: the stomach is hot

Stomach fire, that is, the stomach is blazing, is the name of the disease in traditional Chinese medicine, dry mouth, bitter mouth, and peculiar smell, the first thing to consider is whether the stomach fire is strong!

Five juices to drink

【Ingredients】100 grams of pears, 50 grams of water chestnuts, 50 grams of lotus root, 20 grams of reed root, 10 grams of wheat root.

【Method】Wash, peel and juice the above ingredients, and then, put the five kinds of juice into the pot, add an appropriate amount of water, put it on high heat and boil, and then change to low heat and cook for 30 minutes.

【Usage】Drink tea frequently on weekdays, and avoid eating raw and cold people can take it warmly.

Acupuncture points that lower stomach fire

Inner Acupoint: The Inner Atrium Acupoint is located where the second and third metatarsals of the instep join the depression. It has the effect of removing bad breath and treating tooth pain. 


Jiexi acupoint: Located in the central depression where the instep and calf meet, it has the effect of relieving tooth pain and removing stomach fire. 


Warm reminder: Now the sub-healthy people with dry mouth, bitter mouth and peculiar smell are more likely to be cold and cold, and cannot drink cold things, which indicates that there is cold fire in the body, and can no longer use cold medicine and herbal tea.
