What to eat when you have a sore throat? Drink more of the five heat-clearing, yin-nourishing and fire-reducing soups in spring

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that spring governs the liver, and the liver governs growth. Excessive growth will turn into fire, and if growth fails, the stagnation in the body will also turn into fire. In addition, spring is windy and the climate is dry, so the water in the human body is easily lost through sweating and breathing, which damages the liver yin and easily leads to physiological dysfunction and getting angry. So what are the foods that nourish yin and reduce fire?
