Chinese patent medicine for clearing the upper Jiao fire

There are many types of "getting angry" in traditional Chinese medicine. The most common symptoms are yellow urine, dry throat, bleeding gums, etc. There is also a type of internal heat called burnt fire. Since it is a concept in traditional Chinese medicine, it can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine to achieve the best therapeutic effect. Therefore, many people are very concerned about the medicine in this regard. So, what are the Chinese patent medicines for clearing the upper-burner heat? Let’s take a closer look below.

Jiaohuo generally refers to the excessive fire in the heart and lungs; the hot symptoms in the upper part of the body such as dizziness, sore throat, etc. are called: upper Jiaohuo.

Use a lot of "flowers" to suppress the fire in the upper part of the body

Representative medicines: Isatis root, dandelion, chrysanthemum, Viola yedoensis, and honeysuckle.

Traditional Chinese medicine prescription: Gardenia, dandelion, honeysuckle, rehmannia, and wolfberry. Must drink more water.

There is fire in the upper part of the body (heart and lung area), which is often manifested as sore throat, dry mouth, chapped lips, red eyes and dry cough. Children may refuse to eat, be irritable, or even unwilling to drink water, and complain of mouth pain. In this case, the elderly and children can take Xuanmai Ganjue Decoction, which has mild medicinal properties and is made of Scrophularia, Ophiopogon, Licorice and Platycodon, due to their weak constitution. Young and strong people can take heat-clearing and detoxifying medicines, such as Isatis root, Sophora flavescens, etc. on this basis. If a child has a lot of eye mucus and a red rash on the head and face, he can take medicines such as dandelion, viola yedoensis, andrographis paniculata, wild chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, gardenia, etc. to clear away heat and detoxify.

The symptoms of heat in the upper part of the body, such as dizziness, sore throat, etc., are called: upper-burner fire.

Weak spleen and stomach lead to insufficient Qi and blood and poor circulation due to insufficient Qi and blood. The liver stores blood. The liver cannot be supplied with blood because the liver blood is insufficient. Blood belongs to yin, and yin deficiency leads to excessive yang, so the liver fire is strong, and the upper part of the body is hot due to weak spleen and stomach. The spleen produces blood deficiency, and qi and blood transform into each other, so blood deficiency causes qi deficiency, and qi deficiency causes dysfunction of the qi's nourishing function, which cannot warm the lower burner and leads to lower burner deficiency and cold.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, upper-Jiao fire and lower-Jiao cold are caused by the disharmony between the heart and the kidney. In traditional Chinese medicine, the heart belongs to Yang and the kidney belongs to Yin. Under normal circumstances, the Yang energy in the heart descends to the lower Jiao to neutralize the Yin energy in the kidney, and the Yin energy in the kidney rises to the upper Jiao to neutralize the Yang energy in the heart. In this way, the Yin and Yang are balanced and the human body is in a healthy state. However, when the heart and kidney are not in harmony, there will be too much Yin energy in the lower Jiao, resulting in fear of cold, and strong fire energy in the upper Jiao, resulting in hot face and other symptoms.

In traditional Chinese medicine, the symptoms of heat in the upper parts of the body, such as dizziness, sore throat, etc., are called "upper-burner fire", the symptoms of heat in the middle parts, such as irritability, thirst, and stomach pain, are called "middle-burner fire", and the symptoms of heat in the lower parts of the body, such as constipation and red urine, are called "lower-burner fire". According to the organs, red, swollen and painful eyes are called "liver fire", nasal flaring and shortness of breath are called "lung fire", mouth and tongue ulcers are called "heart fire", and so on. Combined with the internal conditions, these fires can be divided into two categories: "virtual" and "real". Those with severe symptoms and fierce onset are real fires; those with mild symptoms, long duration and accompanied by hot hands and feet, hot flashes, night sweats, etc. are virtual fires. This classification provides a basis for relevant treatment.

There are two points to note when treating "getting angry": First, choose Chinese medicine instead of blindly using Western medicine. Because the former regulates the whole body to cure the root cause, while the latter can only treat the symptoms. The second is to treat the disease based on syndrome differentiation according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. For example, to treat "middle-burner fire", it is appropriate to use Qingwei San and other medicines; to treat "heart fire", use Daochi San and other medicines; to treat "real fire", use Sanhuang Pian, Niuhuang Jiedu Pian and other medicines to reduce fire. It is best to do this under the guidance of a doctor. If you see "fire", you use Sanhuang tablets or the like, but sometimes it doesn't work and instead causes trouble.
