Why is my body hotter than others?

If your body is hotter than others, generally speaking, you have a hot constitution, which is in contrast to a cold constitution. People with a hot constitution are often easily emotional, eat more, but are more afraid of heat and prefer coolness. They like to eat cold food. This is related to the congenital hot constitution, and is also caused by acquired reasons. For people with such a constitution, they must emphasize self-cultivation and start with adjusting their constitution.

Why is my body hotter than others?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen has the function of transporting and transforming water and dampness. If one is weak and has poor digestion or if one overeats and eats too much greasy food and sweets, the spleen cannot transport and transform water and dampness normally, causing water and dampness to stagnate inside the body. People with spleen deficiency are also prone to invasion of external dampness, which often blocks the spleen and stomach and causes dampness to be generated from the inside. Therefore, the two are both independent and related. The so-called heat is a thermal phenomenon. The heat in damp heat exists at the same time as dampness. It may be because the weather is hot and humid in summer and autumn, and dampness and heat invade the human body together. It may also turn into heat because the dampness is not removed for a long time. It may turn into heat because of the yang-heat constitution. Therefore, it is very common for dampness and heat to exist on the earth. The most obvious manifestation of a damp-heat constitution in children is that their stools are dry at first and then wet, they are prone to eczema, have a yellow tongue coating, yellow urine, and anorexia. The symptoms of dry-heat constitution are different from damp-heat. The stool is completely dry and hard, the body is dehydrated, there is thirst and dry tongue, white tongue coating, yellow urine, and loss of appetite. Children with an internal heat constitution are particularly prone to catching colds and fevers when the seasons change. This is what Chinese medicine calls internal heat and external infection. Therefore, in daily health care, if the child has this constitution, the most critical point of health care is to clear away heat and dampness. If this can be achieved, the child will not easily get sick.
