People generally call the following symptoms “fire”: headache, tinnitus, redness or swelling of the eyes, nasal bleeding, erosion of the corners of the mouth, mouth ulcers, swollen and painful lips and tongue, bad breath and bitterness, swollen and painful gums, sore and dry throat, irritability and insomnia, impatience and irritability, and acne on the face. Western medicine is generally difficult to explain the above symptoms, but Chinese medicine has a complete theory and effective methods for this. According to Chinese medicine, the human body is divided into yin and yang, which are contradictory and unified. If yin and yang are in harmony, the body is in a healthy state; if the dynamic balance of yin and yang is disrupted, the body is in a state of disease. For example, if yang is too much and yin is relatively insufficient, then “real fire” is produced; on the contrary, if yin is deficient, yang is relatively too much, then “false fire” is produced. Since fire is upward in nature (called “fire inflammation” in Chinese medicine), the upper part of the body, mainly the head and face, is prone to the above symptoms. Chinese medicine believes that it is very important to distinguish the reality from the reality of the “fire”, because the treatment of real fire and deficiency fire is very different. The cause of real fire is the absolute excess of yang qi, so the treatment is to weaken the excessive yang qi, that is, to use the method of clearing heat and dipping fire; while the cause of deficiency fire is the deficiency of yin qi, resulting in the relative excess of yang qi, so the treatment is mainly to replenish the deficiency of yin qi, in order to restore the balance of yin and yang (Chinese medicine calls it “strengthening the main of water to control the sun”), and at the same time use some methods to remove The method of removing fire. Some people use the same treatment for deficiency fire as they do for real fire, resulting in temporary relief of symptoms that may soon return, lingering and even producing serious side effects. There are many ways to distinguish between real fire and deficiency fire in Chinese medicine, but observing the tongue and tongue moss is an easy and simple way for people who have not studied Chinese medicine to determine this. The tongue is usually red when there are symptoms of fire and heat. The red tongue of real fire is obvious; while the red tongue of false fire is not obvious or dark red (reddish tongue), the tongue is thinner and drier, even cracked. The real fire tongue is yellow and thick; the false fire tongue is little and dry, or even no tongue (mirror tongue). Other easy to determine are: real fire has a more rapid onset and heavier symptoms; deficiency fire has a slower onset and milder symptoms, but lingering. The actual fire is thirsty and likes to drink a lot of cold, while the deficiency fire is thirsty and does not drink much and does not like cold …… Clinically, we have observed that some patients do not have obvious heat signs on the tongue, i.e., the tongue is not red, but they also say they are prone to fire, and the symptoms of these people are mainly sore throat, dry throat, headache, tinnitus, heartburn, insomnia, etc. How does this “fire” come about? According to Chinese medicine, the seven emotions, namely happiness, anger, worry, thought, grief, fear and fright, become psychogenic factors if these seven emotions are strong or persistent. The seven emotions can turn into fire, so this fire is mainly the transformation of bad emotions, at this time, if only use the fire medicine, the effect is not obvious or lasting, we must adjust the mind, release psychological pressure, regulate the emotions in order to fundamentally eliminate the “fire” symptoms, that is, “heart disease also need heart medicine to cure That is to say, “the heart has to be cured. There are also some patients who claim to be prone to “fire”, but look at their tongue moss and tongue quality without heat signs, there is no obvious emotional disorders, this kind of people appear certain symptoms of fire, taking fire medicine not only the effect is not obvious, and even produce stomach pain, diarrhea and other symptoms, what is going on? There are two kinds of situations here, one is the loss of harmony between yin and yang, cold and heat rejection, and the other is yin and yang decay, false yang floating over. The first type of yin and yang disharmony, cold and heat rejection, that is, upper heat and lower cold evidence. Certain symptoms of upper fire appear above the diaphragm, such as headache, tinnitus, dry throat, sore throat, baking heat on the face, swollen and painful gums, thirst and excessive drinking, but certain cold symptoms appear below the diaphragm, such as cold stomach and cold lower limbs, especially the feet. In such patients, if the symptoms of epiglottis are treated with destructive medicines, the symptoms of lower coldness will be more serious, and many patients have difficulty in continuing treatment with Chinese medicine because of stomach coldness and stomach pain; while if the symptoms of epiglottis will be more prominent if stomach coldness and coldness of lower extremities are treated with warming medicines. For such dilemma patients, acupuncture therapy has a good solution, such as using head acupuncture points to prick blood and drain heat, and abdominal and lower limb acupuncture points to treat with warm moxibustion and fire acupuncture. The second type of yin-rich and yang-deficient, deficient yang floating over. This is a category of symptoms manifested by the deficiency of Yang energy and the internal strength of Yin and cold, forcing the deficient Yang to float up and over. This kind of patient has serious symptoms of Yang deficiency, such as cold lower limbs, clear and long urine, early morning diarrhea, etc. The “fire” is only an illusion, such as the patient sometimes feels feverish, but the body temperature is low instead of high, the face is as red as makeup but does not last, the mouth is thirsty but does not want to drink more, much less drink cold water, the throat is painful but the throat is not red, the head is sweating but the body is cold, irritable and restless, and the voice is weak. The voice is weak, etc. In such patients, if the symptoms are not reduced by the use of fire-removing medicine, serious symptoms such as abdominal pain, downward flow of clear grain, shortness of breath and desire to get rid of it will appear. At this time, large doses of hot medicine should be used to warm the vital energy and induce fire to return to the source, so that the false symptoms of fire will disappear. In addition, there is a relatively rare type of fire symptoms, some people are not in puberty, but the face appeared a bit of acne, this is due to heat poison, the source of this “poison”, or contact with toxic substances, or into the diet containing harmful ingredients, or take some special drugs, etc.. In summary, the body’s “fire”, there is a real fire, there is a false fire, toxic fire, there are seven emotions into the fire, there is a fire under the cold, only to distinguish the type of fire, in order to prescribe the right medicine. But regardless of the type of fire, the use of blood pricking therapy on the head, face or back has a better effect on the symptoms.
