What to do if you have stomach fire

Many people experience hot palms and soles all year round, especially in the summer when the weather is hot and dry, and many people become anxious and restless. In fact, in traditional Chinese medicine, this phenomenon is caused by stomach fire. Children's careless diet and excessive consumption of high-protein foods can easily cause stomach heat. Food accumulation in adults can also cause internal heat, which is stomach fire.

When there is stomach fire, symptoms such as swollen and painful gums, bleeding gums, and constipation will appear, and the most annoying thing is bad breath. If your child doesn't like to drink plain water for a period of time, and only likes to drink sour, sweet, or cold drinks, parents should pay attention, because your child may have heat in his stomach.

It’s okay to have stomach fire. Parents can learn how to “clear the Tianhe Water”. When there is heat in the child’s stomach, it can be cleared with massage techniques. There is no need to get injections or take medicines.

When a person is sick, the body is unbalanced. There must be a "low point" in a certain part of the body. However, for some symptoms caused by stomach fire, the high point is on the hand Jueyin pericardium meridian. The starting point of the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian is the chest and the end point is the hand. Think about it, since there is a "high point" at one end of the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian, there must be a "low point" at the other end of this meridian. At this time, just adjust this "low point" up.

At the end of the hand Jueyin pericardium meridian close to the hand, that is, the inner side of the forearm, there is a straight line from the midpoint of the wrist transverse line to the midpoint of the elbow transverse line. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is called "Tianhe Water". Pushing sideways with the thumb or pushing straight upward with the index and middle fingers is called "Qing Tianhe Water". It is an important method to reduce fever in children, and it also has the effect of calming the mind and promoting sleep.

When a child has a fever, giving the child Qingtianhe water 300 times a day can keep the pericardium meridian unobstructed, thereby playing a role in purging heat. In addition, according to traditional Chinese medicine, the pericardium meridian and the triple burner meridian are mutually exterior and interior. The San Jiao meridian coordinates the five internal organs, regulates the water channels, and transports water and food. It is like the chief director of a movie or the host of a party. It can make the functions of the five internal organs more coordinated and serve the body wholeheartedly and with one mind. In other words, if the triple burner meridian is unobstructed, the child's body resistance will also be enhanced.

Western medicine has occupied an increasingly important position in the medical community, but Chinese medicine culture is profound and extensive, and it is a treasure passed down from generation to generation. It is safer. I hope that parents can work together to study, think, and learn, and make full use of the knowledge they have mastered to enable their children to grow up healthily and avoid being harmed by diseases.
