In TCM theory, the human body is seen as a whole, and various organs and systems are interrelated and interact with each other. When the body has symptoms of heat and cold, it often means that the balance of yin and yang in the body is broken, and there is a problem with the function of the spleen and stomach in the middle. Today, we are going to talk about this topic and introduce a famous recipe - black plum pills, which have a significant effect in regulating cold and heat.
1. Symptoms and causes of upper heat and lower cold
Patients usually have symptoms such as fever, thirst, bad breath, and mouth ulcers in the upper part (such as the mouth, throat, face, etc.), accompanied by cold in the lower part (such as abdomen, lower limbs, etc.), diarrhea, cold hands and feet, etc. The appearance of this symptom is mainly related to the dysfunction of the spleen and stomach.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are the central focus of the human body and play the role of a lifting hub. Normally, the spleen and stomach are able to convert food into nutrients and transport them to all parts of the body, while excreting waste products from the body. If the spleen and stomach are dysfunctional, it will cause the clear qi not to rise and the turbid qi not to fall, so that the yang energy of the upper coke cannot fall, and the yin qi of the lower coke cannot rise, forming the symptoms of upper heat and lower cold.
In addition, long-term emotional stress, poor eating habits, overwork and other factors can also lead to spleen and stomach dysfunction, which can lead to symptoms of upper heat and lower cold.
