What are the symptoms of a firestorm? Is there a big difference between real fire and virtual fire?
Sudden gum swelling and pain, dry mouth and tongue, are they caused by anger? In an interview with healthorn, Dr. Guo Dawei, the general director of Yunlin General Hospital of Fuyuan Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic, pointed out that both traditional Chinese and Western medicine will explain the cause of symptoms to patients in terms of “strong fire”. Western medicine refers to strong fire, which is generally related to immune disorders and body inflammation. Traditional Chinese medicine will further distinguish whether it is caused by real fire or virtual fire.
“It’s easy to tell whether it’s a fire or a deficient fire. Drinking more water can improve it if it’s really a fire. People with a deficient fire can’t solve it by just drinking water. You have to use the right method to extinguish the fire in the body!”
Chinese medicine practitioner Guo Dawei said that common symptoms of excess fire include constipation, dry mouth, yellowish urine, high blood pressure, and irritable temper. He will use antipyretic and fire-reducing prescriptions to treat it. As for those with excessive inflammation due to deficiency fire, they often present with body heat, fatigue, night sweats, and weight loss. Or there may be “Five Hearts Upset Heat” with a stuffy feeling in the palms, soles of feet, or chest. The main principle for regulating deficiency fire is “nourishing yin”.

Many people feel that they are angry and go to pharmacies to buy various “fire-reducing” medicines. Traditional Chinese medicine doctor Guo Dawei reminds that most patent medicines can improve 60%-70% of symptoms, but the causes of symptoms are different for everyone. Even if the patent medicines contain heat-clearing and detoxifying ingredients, they may not be able to provide the right medicine.
“It’s like heat stroke caused by hot weather. You can drink coconut water to lower your body temperature. However, if people with too strong deficiency fire drink coconut water, they will have diarrhea and diarrhea instead!” Chinese medicine doctor Guo Dawei gave an example. For example, if there is a hole in the mouth and a sore occurs, if it is an immunity problem, , using over-the-counter medicine powder may be effective. But if the symptoms are caused by staying up late or having too much deficiency fire, you really need to drink more water and get more rest.
The same principle applies to the “Xiao Zhi Pills” used to reduce fire. Chinese medicine doctor Guo Dawei explained that some ethnic groups have hemorrhoid problems themselves. When excessive intake of spicy pot and ginger duck, these hot and hot foods will increase blood circulation and easily cause hemorrhoids to rupture. There may even be bloody stools. Using hemorrhoid pills may be effective in this situation.
On the contrary, if it is due to sitting for a long time, poor defecation habits, too much force during defecation, or too dry stool, you should eat more fruits and vegetables, drink more water, and take in foods such as white fungus and black fungus that can moisturize the intestines and increase intestinal mucus. Improve defecation problems.

Chinese medicine doctor Guo Dawei pointed out that if the liver fire is too strong, it is easy to have bad breath, bloodshot eyes, and the places where the liver meridian passes through the ribs will feel uncomfortable. If the heart fire is too strong, there will be symptoms such as dry mouth and tongue, yellowish urine, irritability, night sweats, and heart palpitations.
In terms of conditioning, heat-clearing herbs such as Scutellaria baicalensis and Huanglian will be the main ingredients for real fire. Deficiency of fire should be based on nourishing yin, and commonly used medicinal materials such as asparagus, Ophiopogon japonicus, Xuan Ginseng, Rehmannia glutinosa, etc. When excessive anger causes lymphoma and herpes, Isatis root, Daqingye, honeysuckle, forsythia, etc. will be used to help clear away heat and detoxify. Cupping is also one of the treatment methods. People with excessive fire will often appear deep red or bright red after cupping; those with weak fire will be lighter in color or have blisters after cupping.
How to adjust the diet to reduce the chance of getting angry?
How to adjust your diet to avoid getting angry frequently? Chinese medicine doctor Guo Dawei said that the principle is just like “eating carrots in winter and ginger in summer”. In summer, eating too many cold foods and hand-shaken drinks will make the body damp and hot. You can take in an appropriate amount of ginger to induce sweating and expel moisture. When you eat too much hot food in winter, you can pair it with Chinese cabbage and white radish, or use plum juice or green herbal tea instead of soda to balance the yin and yang in the food. In addition, if you are worried about eating too many cold fruits in winter, you can choose more apples and guava.
