Why are my feet hot?

Hot feet are a manifestation of internal heat, which means that the body is hot unconsciously, but the temperature on the surface of the body is not as high as imagined. This kind of situation is mostly caused by the individual's yin deficiency and internal heat. It is very simple to adjust in normal times. First, adjust the yin deficiency, and then help the body excrete internal heat and sweat more.

Internal heat is a concept in traditional Chinese medicine, which refers to the symptom of feeling heat in the body while the actual body temperature is not elevated.

Yin deficiency and internal heat is an example of this situation. Based on your situation, it cannot be determined that you have yin deficiency and internal heat. The diagnosis requires four examinations and a prescription. The symptoms of yin deficiency and internal heat include: thin and rapid pulse, red tongue with little coating, red face and joints, dry stool and red urine, night sweats, etc. It is recommended that you try to relax as much as possible in your daily life. This is the key. As for what to eat, you can eat more vegetables and fruits, and avoid eating too much spicy food. Moderate exercise is very effective in relieving negative emotions such as tension. No need to take medicine. People with yin deficiency and internal heat should eat the following foods regularly.

Duck meat is mild in nature, sweet and salty in taste, and can nourish yin and the stomach. "Compendium of Materia Medica" says that it "nourishes yin and eliminates steaming." "Sui Xi Ju Diet" says that it can "nourish the yin of the five internal organs, clear away the heat of deficiency and fatigue, nourish the stomach and produce body fluid." People also believe that duck is the most ideal tonic food and is suitable for people with yin deficiency. Pork is mild in nature, sweet and salty in taste, and has the effect of nourishing yin and moistening dryness. Wang Mengying, a doctor in the Qing Dynasty, said: "Pork replenishes kidney fluid, replenishes stomach juice, nourishes liver yin, moisturizes the skin, and stops thirst." "Compendium of Materia Medica" also records: "Pork has a lasting taste. Eating it moisturizes the intestines and stomach, produces semen, and moisturizes the skin." Therefore, it is also suitable for people with yin deficiency.

Eggs are mild in nature and sweet in taste. They can not only replenish qi and nourish blood, but also both egg whites and egg yolks have the effect of nourishing yin and moistening dryness. Eggs are considered by the medical community to be very good protein foods. The ovalbumin, ovomucoid and phosvitin in them are very complete proteins. It is quite suitable for people with yin deficiency, especially when eggs and soybeans are eaten together. As the folk custom says, eating eggs and soy milk together is more beneficial. Milk is mild in nature and sweet in taste. It is not only rich in nutrients, but also has the effects of nourishing yin and fluid, promoting body fluid and relieving dryness. Medical practitioners of all dynasties have praised the nourishing effect of milk, saying that milk "moisturizes the skin and quenches thirst", "moisturizes the skin", "moisturizes the large intestine", or "nourishes the five internal organs" and "moisturizes and replenishes fluids". Those with Yin deficiency should eat it regularly, which will bring them many benefits.
