At the same time, these foods also have a warming and stimulating effect, which can excite the cerebral cortex and make the mind agitated, thus aggravating the condition.

(3) Avoid eating fishy or pungent foods, such as shrimp, crab, rooster, pork head, eel, roast chicken, and various grilled, fried, smoked or smoked foods. Because these foods easily accumulate moisture and produce nitrogen, which helps to increase heat and cause wind, they can aggravate rheumatic heat and thus worsen the symptoms of skin lesions.

(4) Avoid taking any foods that replenish qi and blood, such as ginseng, deer antler, angelica, Cistanche deserticola, etc. Because these foods are warm and yang-replenishing, they can help heat generate wind, making the blood drier and making the disease more protracted and difficult to cure.
