The patient asked: \u201chi TCM Practitioner, what is the meaning of body \u201cheated up\u201d?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Acne grown on the colleagues\u2019s face, we asked: \u201cDid you hardly sleep yesterday? Is your body heated up?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our friend having fried banana causing a sore throat, we asked him: \u201cIs that fried food causing sore throat?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In our daily lifewe see acne growing on the face, sore throat, toothache, mouth ulcers<\/a><\/span>, headache<\/a><\/span>, eye pain, insomnia<\/a><\/span> and constipation<\/a><\/span>,<\/strong>these symptoms are categorized as \u201cheated up\u201d or \u201cHeaty\u201d group in TCM terms.<\/span><\/p>\n

TCM diagnosis emphasize on the concept of \u201cColdness\u201d and \u201cHeaty\u201d<\/strong>. Why?<\/span><\/p>\n

For healthy people, the coldness and heaty is balancing (Ying Yang balancing), then he or she would not \u201cheated up\u201d easily.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the body caught a flu (\u201cColdness\u201d), the body temperature increases to fight against the flu. If the immunity system is weak, we will be easily attacked by the bacteria or virus, hence a flu started. The early stage is \u201cColdness\u201d, decline blowing directly by wind, fever, sore throat, cough, nose blocking etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some might say, \u201cEasy job, just buy some pills from pharmacy.\u201d Is this true?<\/span><\/p>\n

We always feel afraid of chronic recurrent viral infection because the root cause has not been rectified. It seems that the fever has gone, the flu has stopped, less pain for sore throat, but new symptoms appear such as coughing and nose block. Why? Due to the long term underlying condition, viral has been incubating all the time. If we neglect some clothes protection and get caught of flu, the illness becomes more severe.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Metabolism of the body generates the heats in the body<\/strong>. The process started from the flow of blood circulation<\/u><\/strong> and water circulation<\/u><\/strong>, these are whence the body consumes oxygen, which helps to transform the food in the form of carbohydrate (starch), fats and protein into energy. If insufficient of heats been generated, our body tend to be \u201cColdness\u201d type<\/strong>. If energy turned into excessive heats, our body tend to be \u201cHeaty\u201d type<\/strong>. Usually the \u201cheated up\u201d happened at the upper part of the abdomens such as gall bladder, liver, heart and lung organs.<\/span>
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

TCM focus on issue like:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. 1. How energy (\u201cheaty\u201d) been deployed in the body.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. 2. How to process the energy (\u201cheaty\u201d).<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. 3. How to get rid of the excessive energy (\u201cheaty\u201d).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u201cHeated up\u201d meaning excessive energy causing the body temperature keeps increasing, if not discarded it will be remained in the body. According to scientific knowledge, \u201chot air is always floating and cold air is sinking\u201d and \u201chot will expand and cold will shrink\u201d, so the excessive energy heated up and rise to the head and face. Hence, we see people having symptoms like acne, sore throat, toothache, mouth ulcers, headache, eye pain, insomnia and constipation.<\/span><\/p>\n

    If the \u201cheated up\u201d condition keep happening, it will destroy the organs hence causing below consequences:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. 1. Dehydration of blood and liquid of the cells, affecting the blood circulation and water circulation eventually affecting the metabolism.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. 2. Organ been \u2018burnt up\u2019 affecting the functionality of the organs.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. 3. The cells or tissues started to shrink.<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. 4. The functionality of the organ to maintain the \u201cblood-forming\u201d is undermined.
      \n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      If our body has already been \u201cheated up\u201d, how are we going to \u201creduce heat\u201d?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

      1. Drink more water.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


      \n2. Eat more vegetables and fruits.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n


      \n<\/span>
      \na. Vegetables<\/strong><\/span>\uff1aFresh green leaves vegetables, cucumber, green tea help reduce heat immensely. Carrot contains vitamin b helps to prevent cleft lip problem.
      \n<\/span><\/span>
      \nb. Fruits<\/strong>\uff1a<\/span>Orange, pear, watermelon, mulberry etc. Mulberry is mild sweet and cooling, strengthening the liver and kidney, reduce heaty and improve diuretic effect. Pear reduce the heat in the lung, preserve fluid in the lung and stop coughing and clearing phlegm, help to rectify the problem of yellowish urine and dried lips or mouth. People with \u201cColdness\u201d type need to be safeguard on these food as if taken much will end up with a cooling digestive system, transparent saliva and excrete loose stool.
      \n\"\" \"\"
      \n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      3. Drink some handy-packed tea to reduce heat<\/strong> such as: Dandelion tea, Chrysanthemum, mulberry leaves tea etc.
      \n      \"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

      \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

      4. Boiled drink\uff1aImperata cylindrical+ Bamboo cane+ Water Chestnut<\/strong>
      \nWe clean the outer layer of the plants (Imperata cylindrical 50g\u3001Bamboo cane 300g\uff0c Water Chestnut 300g). Bamboo cane to be cut into cube shape, water chestnut to be cut at both top and bottom portion. Boil over high heat for 15 minutes, then simmer the mix food drinks in the next 30 minutes. The drink suits many people and taste good.
      \n\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

      5. \u201cReduced heat\u201d soup<\/strong> such as bitter gourd soup, melon soup, old cucumber soup and lotus root soup.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      6. TCM treatment
      \n<\/strong> If we easily get \u201cheated up\u201d, and there is no way to get rid of the \u201cfire\u201d. Then it is time to see a TCM practitioner to get some treatment. We diagnose the disease based on the body type and each unique condition, we might need to consume oral prescription when it is needed.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \"\"
      \n<\/span><\/p>\n


      \nTo maintain the body, we should start changing the habits in our daily life style.<\/span><\/p>\n

      1. Discourage to sleep late<\/strong> \u2013 Deep sleep promote fluent blood circulation in the organ of liver and kidney. Improving the blood circulation hence expel more heats from the body.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      2. Discourage to be anxious<\/strong> \u2013 Over anxiety will cause the 10 times of normal heat generated in the brain. The heat will \u201cburn\u201d the organs such as the theory of TCM, the \u201cheated up\u201d liver with fire.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      3. Discourage to be exhausted<\/strong> \u2013 Over exhausted will slower down the metabolism and blood circulation, hence the process of expelling heat has decreased.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      4. Avoid to catch a flu<\/strong> \u2013 Flu might cause fever happened and \u201cheated up\u201d the organs of the body.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      5. Discourage to take spicy food, heaty food or food that reduced fluid or causing dehydration.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      6. Encourage to drink more water<\/strong>to replenish blood or fluid that been vaporized or flowed off from the cells.
