Nowadays, most people are hot and cold, and they get cold for a long time! There are very few people who really need to put out the fire. If you are not a strong guy with a good body, then your fire is most likely a false fire ......
Why? Modern people do not avoid the cold, and they are greedy for cold, cold drinks, air conditioning, abuse of antibiotics, love to wear trendy clothes with a cropped navel, bare waist and bare back, and do not like to bask in the sun......
These habits will let a large amount of cold and dampness enter the body, and over time, the kidney yang will become more and more insufficient, the kidney water cannot control the fire, and the false fire will be more and more vigorous in the upper burn, and the head and face will be more and more vigorous.
If you use cold medicine to vent and reduce fire. It is easy to further enter a vicious circle: the cold adds to the cold, the void adds to the void, and the more the fire is cured, the bigger it becomes. Therefore, people who are hot and cold should remember not to clear heat or nourish when conditioning, but to open up the Zhongjiao fortress, lead the fire downward, and communicate the heart and kidneys.
People who are hot at the top and cold at the bottom live in the summer with the upper body and the lower half in the winter. What are the specific manifestations of hot and cold, and how should we tell the difference?
First of all, there are symptoms of upper heat and lower cold: in addition to getting hot at every turn, there are also a series of hot syndromes, insomnia, recurrent mouth ulcers, tongue sores, insomnia, chronic pharyngitis, burning sensation in the throat, chronic otitis media, eye redness, pimples, etc.
The symptoms of cold are mainly manifested as: cold below the buttocks, legs are more afraid of cold than ordinary people, diet is not cold tolerant, it is uncomfortable to eat cold, diarrhea, soreness and cold waist and knees, cold hands and feet, frequent urination, gynecological problems and so on.
In addition, there is a difference between the upper heat and the lower cold and the yang deficiency and the fear of cold, and people with yang deficiency are often cold all over the body because the overall yang energy is too weak.
People who are hot and cold are not necessarily deficient, but they are not used, and if they stay in the upper body, they will become fire, as long as they let it run to the bottom, the problem will be solved.
The saying that the upper heat and the lower cold actually existed for a long time, and it came from the Yellow Emperor's Neijing Lingshu chapter.
"Lingshu Thorn Festival True Evil" mentions: "The upper heat is cold, and those who fall into the meridians depending on their virtual veins take it, and the qi is stopped, and the so-called one who leads down is also." ”
To put it simply, the upper heat and lower cold are a series of symptoms caused by the lack of communication in the middle of the focus, the yin in the bottom, and the floating of the void yang.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that heaven and earth are a whole, the earth's qi rises, and the weather falls, so heaven and earth are intertwined, and the universe is one, so that there is a year of spring, summer, autumn and winter, twelve solar terms, and so many rich lives.
People are also a whole, the inner fire of the human body goes down, warms the lower body, the kidney water goes up, moisturizes the upper body, the body has a yin and yang cycle, yin and yang blend and balance, and become a harmonious and unified whole.
When the fire of the body does not go down, the water below cannot rise, the heart and kidneys do not communicate, and the yin and yang are separated, the body will naturally be hot and cold, resulting in all kinds of headache symptoms and diseases.
The method of "Immortal Rubbing the Abdomen" is a method of self-enrichment of vitality that is passed down by Taoism. Kneading the middle focus and helping the body to move in a circle is a very comprehensive technique of "restoring fire to the source", once a day, so that the qi and blood of the internal organs run smoothly and the vitality is sufficient. The upper and lower harmonize, the rise and clear and the turbidity are lowered, the old is reborn, and the various evil qi of the external sense can also be expelled from the body.

3. Soak your feet in mugwort leaves
Mugwort leaf foot soaking: It can draw down the scorched fire. People with heavy false fire, cold hands and feet, and swollen legs are especially suitable for soaking their feet in mugwort leaves, soaking until they sweat slightly, and don't sweat profusely. However, because soaking the feet of mugwort leaves will attract the qi and blood of the head and face and the upper burn, people with insufficient qi and blood can not soak for too long, and they will be dizzy if they soak too much, so moderate is good.
