Effects of cooling and dispelling foods on health

　　When people in China say they are "suffering from internal heat", they like to go to pharmacies to buy a lot of cooling and relieving medicines and take them home to "relieve internal heat". Is this right?

　　"Huangdi Neijing" believes that there are "little fire" and "strong fire" in the human body. The so-called "less fire" refers to the heat energy or heat of the human body. The vitality of the human body is indispensable for this "fire". "Huangdi Neijing" also says that "less fire is more qi", which means that the fire power of the human body promotes the qi of the human body. The so-called qi refers to the power of various functional activities of the human body. Traditional Chinese medicine calls this "Qi" Yang Qi. There was a famous doctor named Zhu Zhenheng in the Yuan Dynasty. He said that "excess Qi is fire." If the human body's Yang Qi is too strong and the fire power is too strong, it becomes "fire", which is the "strong fire" mentioned in the "Huangdi Neijing". This kind of fire is harmful to the human body.

　　From this, we can draw the conclusion that "fire" and Yang Qi are closely related. It is true that when there is excessive anger, it is necessary to reduce it, but to reduce it, there must be a degree of control. When there is excess energy, it is "fire". Therefore, reducing "fire" is just to remove the excess "strong fire". Do not remove too much, otherwise it will damage the yang energy and be harmful to the human body. Especially for those with yang deficiency constitution, this kind of damage is dangerous, so we must be vigilant.
