"Getting angry" is a common name among the people, also known as "hot air". It is a word commonly used to describe a series of phenomena such as oral erosion and blisters on the tip of the tongue, which represents a symptom, not a disease. "Getting angry" belongs to the category of heat syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine. In spring, when everything recovers and the yang rises, it is easy to disturb the internal heat accumulated in the liver, gallbladder and gastrointestinal tract. In addition, the climate in early spring is relatively dry and the weather is changeable. When the human body has poor adaptability to the climate, it is difficult to keep the metabolism in the body balanced and stable, and it is easy to get angry. In fact, hot and dry fire in spring is an internal heat symptom after yin and yang imbalance in human body.
1, excessive internal heat caused by improper tonic in winter. In winter, many people will take different degrees of supplements to improve their physique, such as donkey-hide gelatin, red dates, ginseng and velvet antler. The continuous tonic time is as long as 1~2 months, especially taking the cream for a longer time. If the tonic is improper or excessive, there will be a phenomenon of "getting angry" in spring.
2. During the Spring Festival, the greasy, fried, smoked and roasted food on the dining table makes people feel full, and all kinds of roasted seeds and nuts have also laid a hidden danger for the spring. In addition, during the festival, many people have irregular work and rest, staying up late to play, which leads to the sun not entering the shade at night, and the yang in the body floating up and getting angry.
3, the rise of yang, leading to "getting angry" Chinese medicine believes that spring corresponds to the liver, which is the main reason for the rise of hair. When everything comes into being in spring, it naturally begins to dilute the yang, and the yang of the human body is also rising accordingly. Among the five internal organs of human body, the liver belongs to wood, and its function is more active in spring than in other seasons. At this time, those who are angry and irritable, those who are under great pressure in work or life, and those who are forced or like to stay up late are often prone to excessive yang and show various manifestations of "getting angry".

At the same time, the temperature changes greatly, and the cold and hot climate is easy to affect the defense function of respiratory mucosa, and it is easy to infect various bacteria and viruses, causing respiratory discomfort and causing symptoms such as herpes, sore throat, cough and oral ulcer.
