Many times I hear parents say, “Doctor, my baby has a lot of fire, what should I give my baby to lower the fire”, and some parents even say, “Doctor, I give my baby Wanglaoji every day, why does he still have a lot of fire?” This time parents are often unable to understand where this fire comes from, and the doctor’s explanation of this often makes parents more and more confused, in the end what is fire? First of all, it should be clear that fire is a concept of Chinese medicine, there is no such concept in modern medicine, so modern medicine can not be compared to the anti-inflammatory drugs to remove fire magic, secondly, fire is a generic term for symptoms, often manifested as mouth and tongue sores, irritability, urine short red and a series of performance, they may exist at the same time, may also be a single presence, and finally, the fire of Chinese medicine is actually divided into real fire and false fire, what is called real fire, To use an analogy, we use the wood burning fire, those are the actual existence of the fire we can see is the real fire, while the deficiency fire, commonly speaking, is actually the essence of the cold, the fire is not there, due to some special reasons caused by the performance of the fire type with the fire. The actual fire needs to lower the fire, deficiency fire needs to lower the fire? The deficiency fire does not need to lower the fire, because it is cold in nature, which explains why some people drink herbal tea and easily have diarrhea symptoms. Speaking of this, you can have a preliminary understanding of fire, then why many children are prone to fire? The main reason is that the structure of the diet intake of modern children has changed a lot, perhaps older parents may have more experience, in the past in Xiamen, breakfast is a meal of thin rice, dinner is also a meal of thin rice, lunch may be slightly better, but these are enough to maintain our normal day’s activities, but now children, the intake of diet has been far greater than when we used to. From the current nutritional concept is to provide too much calories, but calories to consume ah, can not accumulate too much, which requires us to consume more exercise, but now children may even go home and walk most of the right to be deprived, are driven by parents to pick up, and then also by bus to and from school, that daily intake of calories can not be consumed, ultimately leading to the generation of fire. There is also a secondary reason for the weather in Xiamen, Xiamen is a southern region, hot and humid weather is common, the weather itself is a little more fire properties, so people in this region is easy to get on fire, because in the clinic often see parents from the north to ask why they started to get on fire once here, which involves one of the most classic theory of Chinese medicine called ” This involves one of the most classic theories of Chinese medicine called “local adaptation”, the northern diet to the south is not very suitable, because the climate is different, people’s diet structure is different, if the structure of the northern diet is still the main, in the south is bound to get on fire. Many parents will ask that children on fire how to do, to drink what herbal tea to fire, here I introduce you to a few of the more famous Xiamen herbal tea side: ① shot dry, Xia Gu Cao: take shot dry 30g, Xia Gu Cao 30g, boil water out can drink.
