Sugar generally does not have the effect of reducing fire. It is recommended that people with mouth ulcers, swollen gums, dry mouth and other symptoms of “fire” timely medical treatment.
“Fire” is a folk saying, divided into two categories: real fire and imaginary fire. Patients with real fire can be manifested as irritability, insomnia, recurrent mouth ulcers, swollen and painful gums, dry mouth, short and red urine (small amount of urine, dark yellow color) and so on. Patients with deficiency fire mainly show night sweating (abnormal sweating after going to sleep, sweating stops after waking up), insomnia, palpitations, heartburn, dry mouth and throat.
White granulated sugar has the effects of harmonizing the middle and easing the pain (relieving pain by regulating the spleen and stomach), generating fluids and moistening dryness. It can be used for lung deficiency and cough, lung and stomach yin deficiency, abdominal pain, sores that do not heal, excessive drinking, abdominal pain in the middle, dry mouth and thirst, and lung dryness and cough. However, white granulated sugar generally does not have the effect of lowering the fire.
If you feel unwell, it is recommended that you seek medical advice. If you need medication, you should go through a doctor’s diagnosis and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment.
