Health tips: 3 detoxification methods to eliminate heat and toxins in the body

In the hot and humid summer, people with low immunity or irregular lifestyles are prone to fever, toxicity and blood stasis, which can lead to symptoms such as redness, pain, swelling and heat on the skin. Adjusting your diet can help expel heat and toxins from the body. In addition, cupping can also help clear away heat and toxins, remove dampness and dredge the meridians. So what causes heat toxicity?

When high temperature strikes, heat and toxins accumulate.

It has been more than ten days since the beginning of the dog days, and high temperatures have always been the main feature. There is a subtle connection between changes in climate conditions and human health. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, continued high temperature and sultry weather will also affect human health in some ways. A common phenomenon is that heat and toxins are easily accumulated in the body.

Simply put, heat toxicity is a common disease name in traditional Chinese medicine. According to traditional Chinese medicine, there are six external factors that lead to human diseases, namely wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness and heat, and heat toxicity is one of them. These potential pathogenic factors are naturally related to climatic conditions. Just as Sichuan people love to eat chili peppers, which helps to expel moisture from the body, heat toxins can easily invade the human body in hot and humid weather.

The patient has good self-regulation ability and can expel heat and toxins by itself

The human body is an organic whole. Its ability to resist disease is related to many factors, including its own immunity, diet, mood, sleep conditions and external climate. Even in hot and humid weather conditions, the human body still has a certain ability to regulate itself, but this ability varies from person to person. As for heat toxins, whether one can successfully expel them through one's own regulatory ability without any symptoms under similar external climatic conditions depends on personal circumstances.

Not everyone will show symptoms of heat, toxicity and blood stasis in hot weather. Generally speaking, with such external climatic conditions, heat toxins are bound to invade the human body. However, if people pay attention to a reasonable diet and maintain a regular life, their own immunity will be improved and heat toxins will not cause serious consequences. Especially in terms of diet, eating more cold foods according to the characteristics of the climate can also help expel heat toxins.

Skin redness, swelling, heat, and pain are all related to heat toxicity

For people who do not have common knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, "heat and toxicity" is inevitably too professional, but the symptoms caused by the accumulation of heat and toxicity in the body are very common. Fever all over the body and soreness in joints and muscles are the main symptoms of patients with heat toxicity and blood stasis. In terms of specific manifestations, the skin is prone to redness, swelling, heat and pain, which is what Chinese medicine calls "yang syndrome."

Heat, toxins and blood stasis in the skin can easily cause ulcers, and patients often have redness, burning and pain on the skin. Symptoms such as acute cellulitis, acute suppurative lymphadenitis and perianal abscess may also be related to heat, toxins and blood stasis. In addition, heat, toxicity and blood stasis may also cause fever and pain in the skin all over the body, red tongue and yellow coating, and in severe cases, multiple abscesses may appear on the body surface.
