Is ancient medicine also a doctor's patent

As we all know, when the human body encounters external pressure, such as infection, or internal pressure, such as mental factors, it will have symptoms such as bitter mouth, dry throat, chest tightness, irritability, headache and constipation. That is what people often say: "getting angry." "Anger is the result of vigorous autonomic nervous, endocrine and metabolic functions of the body. In addition, weather changes will also have an impact. If there is hemorrhoid and hematochezia, most people will call it "intestinal fire", internal heat caused by cold is called "excessive internal heat", frequent urination and painful urination is called "bladder fire", and headache and insomnia are called "brain fire". There are various names for internal heat, which are not rigorous, but they are a way to describe the patient's situation. As far as TCM theory is concerned, internal heat can be divided into real fire and virtual fire. Patients with excess fire will have dry mouth and thirst, can't quench thirst by drinking poison, sweat is more afraid of heat, upset and insomnia, dry stool, yellow urine and foul smell; Generally speaking, liver fire and stomach fire are the most common, and drinking herbal tea has annealing effect. Deficiency of fire, dry mouth at night but dislike drinking, dry lips, dry cheeks, slight heat in hands, feet and heart, night sweats and dry eyes; Drinking tea is uncomfortable. If you want to understand anger, you can also explain it through modern research. For example, in the autonomic nervous system, patients will have increased oral temperature, increased heart rate, accelerated breathing, decreased saliva and increased catecholamine excretion in urine, indicating that the functional activities of the sympathetic adrenal system are enhanced. As far as metabolic function is concerned, patients with excessive internal heat are too vigorous, and adrenal cortex function is also enhanced to varying degrees. As far as reproductive system is concerned, its cycle tends to be adjusted or shortened. In pathological research, most of them are acute inflammation, swelling, degeneration and necrosis of tissues and cells. Therefore, as far as modern medicine is concerned, the "red face and fever in hands and feet" of patients with internal heat is a reaction of skin vasodilation, accelerated blood flow, increased blood volume and increased body surface heat dissipation. " Thirst likes to drink cold drinks "because of excess calories, which increases the evaporation of water on the body surface and respiratory tract and reduces saliva secretion." Boring and talkative "may be caused by the increased excitability of cerebral cortex cells when body temperature and metabolism increase." Short and red urine "may be caused by urine concentration, or it may be caused by the increase of decomposition products during the heat boom, especially related to the increase of decomposition products in protein." Constipation "is due to excessive evaporation of water, and the absorption of water by the large intestine increases, making the stool too dry and difficult to discharge." If you want to treat fire, you must first distinguish between real fire and virtual fire in Chinese medicine, and know which viscera it belongs to. In this way, the medicine will not be too bitter and cold, or the treatment direction is wrong, which will ruin the stomach and hurt the body, or even fall into the yang. In particular, most folk herbs are bitter and cold, so be careful. In addition, patients with gastrointestinal fire can eat more vegetables rich in fiber to increase intestinal peristalsis and promote gastrointestinal metabolism; If the stool is dry, you can also drink honey and add appropriate amount of lemon to enhance the defecation function and accelerate the elimination of toxins in the body.
