Do you have this situation? You are obviously afraid of cold, and your body is cold, but you get angry repeatedly, such as oral ulcer and sore throat. Very uncomfortable. And some people want to drink herbal tea to relieve fire. Although I had a temporary diarrhea, I couldn't get well again and again, and my hands and feet were getting colder and colder. What's going on here?

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, this kind of excessive internal heat is mostly caused by deficiency and cold of spleen and stomach. Here, some people may feel strange, it is obviously spleen and stomach deficiency, why does it cause deficiency fire?

What is said here is that when the spleen and stomach are deficient in cold, the cold in the body is too heavy, which will affect the function of the viscera in the body, so the yang will be rejected, and the yang will float on the upper part of the person, thus causing symptoms such as oral ulcer, irritability and insomnia.

And this kind of excessive internal heat, simply taking some heat-clearing drugs to put out the fire, not only can not extinguish the internal heat, but will aggravate the cold evil in the body, making the spleen and stomach deficiency and cold more serious. Therefore, to adjust this situation, it is necessary to dispel the cold evil in the body and avoid rejecting the yang.

Today, Dr. Shen will share with you a small prescription in Treatise on Febrile Diseases by Zhang Zhongjing in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which consists of dried ginger and gardenia.

Dried ginger is made from fresh ginger through processing. Although they are all ginger, they have different functions. Ginger is good at dispersing cold and is often used for exogenous cold. But dried ginger is pungent and hot, which can dispel cold. It can enter the internal organs from the body surface. For friends with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, dried ginger can be used to drive away cold and dampness in the spleen and stomach. When the problem of cold pathogen is solved, the spleen and stomach will naturally work again.

Next, add gardenia. Gardenia is cold and bitter, and can enter the heart, lungs and triple energizer meridians. It is one of the few good medicines that can clear the heat of triple energizer. No matter where the residual fire in the body is, it can be put out with gardenia. Moreover, Gardenia can induce diuresis, which can expel heat and fire from the body through urine.

In a word, the problem that the body is cold and easy to get angry can be solved with dried ginger and gardenia. If you are also deficient in spleen and stomach, you may wish to refer to it, but remember to use the medicine under the guidance of Chinese medicine, and don't use it at will.
