The beginning of the autumn solar term is coming, but it does not mean that the coolness will come soon, and it is still in the dog days, which is the hottest stage of the year.
Many people can't stand this "late-summer enthusiasm" and have symptoms such as general fatigue, tiredness, insomnia, loss of appetite, and even irritability, sores on the mouth and tongue, sore throat, constipation, and shortness of urine.
The "fire" in the body is divided into virtual and real
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that when the yin and yang of the human body are unbalanced and the internal heat is vigorous, it will be hot. It is very important to regulate the "fire" and distinguish between the virtual and the real.
Void fire: Yin Qi decays or consumes too much, and Yin deficiency and fire will occur.
Real fire: When the yin energy does not decay and the yang energy is too strong to break the balance, the yang energy is overpowered.
