Many friends will always fall in love with fire, mouth ulcers repeatedly, sore throat, etc., but his own physique is a cold physique, usually there will be a fear of cold, cold hands and feet, and a cold physique but love fire, it is simply two heavens of ice and fire. What is the reason for this?
In fact, in the view of traditional Chinese medicine, this phenomenon is mostly related to the deficiency of the spleen and stomach. People with spleen and stomach deficiency are too cold in the body, and the ability to transport food will also decrease, and the food we usually eat can not be transported in time, and it is easy to form moisture accumulated in the spleen and stomach for a long time.
This kind of person, in fact, is what we often call the upper heat and lower cold physique, there is both cold and heat in the body, but his heat is not empirical evidence, in the view of traditional Chinese medicine, it belongs to the real standard and deficiency, the root cause is the spleen and stomach deficiency and cold for too long caused by the virtual fire floating, so some friends go to use some bitter cold gunpowder to dispel the fire as soon as they get on fire, but it is only a symptom but not a cure, and it will aggravate the cold in the body, resulting in a more severe spleen and stomach deficiency and cold.
For patients with this kind of constitution, the words of conditioning seem to be very contradictory, the medicine that lowers the fire will aggravate the cold evil, and the medicine that warms the yang will aggravate the situation of the fire, so what should be done? In fact, as early as a thousand years ago, our medical saint Zhang Zhongjing had already proposed a solution to this problem, that is, gardenia dried ginger soup.
Only two herbs were used in the recipe – gardenia and dried ginger.
Gardenia medicinal bitter cold, clear heart, lungs, three coke fire, no matter where this floating void fire is hidden, can be removed.
The medicinal properties of dried ginger are hot and pungent, and it can go all the way to the viscera and spleen and stomach, like lighting a fire in the spleen and stomach, which plays the role of dissipating cold in the warmth. Usually used to boil water to drink or add some dry ginger powder when cooking porridge, the deficiency and cold in the spleen and stomach can be slowly dispelled.
In this way, both the heat and the cold will be taken into account, and the problem will not be aggravated by the heat clearing, nor will the fire be aggravated by the temperature supplement, and the problem will be solved.
It should be noted that the medicinal properties of gardenia are too bitter and cold, so it is not recommended for people with yang deficiency, or people who often have loose and unformed stools, and pregnant women.
