Speaking of fire, it may cause many relatives to feel the same, the change of seasons, the pressure of work, improper diet, etc., may lead to fire, and chrysanthemum tea has become an indispensable fire drink for many people.
However, some people on the Internet say that drinking chrysanthemum tea does not completely reduce the fire. So, what is the truth of this fact?
Liu Min, chief physician of the Department of Gastroenterology, Dongzhimen Hospital, Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine: Chrysanthemums are roughly divided into three types, namely white chrysanthemums, yellow chrysanthemums, and wild chrysanthemums, whose common characteristics are sweet and bitter taste, slightly cold, and enter the liver meridian and lung meridian. If there is a fire of liver meridian and lung meridian, chrysanthemum tea can indeed reduce fire. But we may have fire in all our internal organs, such as heart fire, stomach fire, small intestinal fire or liver and kidney yin deficiency fire, then it will not work.
Although there are many kinds of chrysanthemum teas we drink on weekdays, they can only reduce liver fire and lung fire. For other heart fires, stomach fires, etc., drinking chrysanthemum tea is never effective.
Moreover, for patients with liver and kidney yin deficiency, drinking chrysanthemum tea will appear on fire. Therefore, there is also a lot of attention to fire reduction. So, do we also have to choose different types of chrysanthemum tea to drink according to the different symptoms of liver fire and lung fire?
Liu Min, chief physician of the Department of Gastroenterology, Dongzhimen Hospital, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine: Although they have common attributes, they also have differences. In terms of functional indications, the role of white chrysanthemum is to flatten the liver and eyes, such as dizziness, blurred vision, etc. The role of yellow chrysanthemum is to clear wind and heat, such as red swelling and pain, increased eye secretions, dry mouth, dry throat and sore throat. The role of wild chrysanthemums is to clear heat and detoxify, such as boils or hot prickly heat in the summer, then the use of wild chrysanthemums is more effective.
It seems that drinking chrysanthemum tea is still very exquisite, then, in addition to liver fire and lung fire, what symptoms will occur when other types of fire occur?
Liu Min, chief physician of the Department of Gastroenterology, Dongzhimen Hospital, Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine: The main manifestations of heart fire are upset insomnia, mouth and tongue sores, the main manifestations of stomach fire are dry mouth and tongue, swollen gums and pain, dry stool, and the main manifestation of small intestinal fire is short urine and astringent pain.
Cao Ying, deputy chief physician of the emergency department of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine affiliated to Capital Medical University: Spring is a season of strong liver fire, and liver fire is prone to occur. Summer is dominated by summer humidity, so the heart is hot and the humidity is heavy. Autumn is a relatively dry season, prone to lung fire. In winter, the most common is the cold pack fire.
Therefore, only by recognizing what kind of fire you belong to can you use effective drugs to alleviate the discomfort caused by it.
Liu Min, chief physician of the Department of Gastroenterology, Dongzhimen Hospital, Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine: Heart fire can use lotus heart, mung bean, and lotus leaf to achieve the effect of clearing the heart and eliminating troubles. The stomach fire can use fresh reed root and watermelon peel to achieve stomach clearing and fire reduction. Small intestinal fire can use white grass roots, light bamboo leaves, these are into the small intestine meridian.
Therefore, if you are on fire, you must understand how you are on fire, and then choose the appropriate fire-lowering drugs. Of course, in the case of serious fire, you must seek medical treatment in time, and do not blindly drink chrysanthemum tea to reduce the fire.
