How to judge whether the body is cold or hot

After many people go to a traditional Chinese medicine hospital for treatment, they will be told by some experienced old Chinese medicine doctors whether they have a cold or hot constitution and what they need to do to regulate their bodies. So in normal times, how do we judge whether our body is cold or hot? Below we will share some related manifestations of body coldness and body heat, so as to provide a theoretical basis for everyone to judge whether they have cold or heat in their body.

Let me put it simply:

1. Cold body.

It can be extended to mean yang deficiency constitution:

1) Afraid of cold, hands and feet are cold, hands are colder than elbows, feet are colder than knees. Note that this coldness does not only apply to winter, but also to being afraid of cold in warm environments, and wearing more clothes than others in the same environment.

2) The back, abdomen, waist and knees are particularly sensitive to cold.

3) Eating something cold or getting exposed to cold wind will cause diarrhea.

4) Women are more likely to suffer from dysmenorrhea, delayed menstruation, and lower abdominal pain.

5) It is easy to get cold diseases, such as spitting out white sputum instead of yellow sputum when having a cold.

6) The tongue is fat, the tongue coating is white, the face is pale, and the patient does not like to drink water.

7) Depressed, quiet, lack of energy, and prone to depression.

8) Frequent urination and getting up at night.

2. Body heat.

It can be extended to mean yin deficiency constitution.

1) Afraid of heat. The palms and feet are sweaty.

2) Hair dry. Dry mouth and throat, dry eyes, dry skin, dry lips, dry stool and constipation (in pieces).

3) The urine is small and yellow, and drinking water does not quench thirst.

4) Always getting angry, irritable, easily agitated and prone to insomnia.

5) I am thin and cannot gain weight no matter how much I eat.

6) Like winter, fear summer, love to drink cold drinks.

7) The tongue is red, with little or no tongue coating, and some have severe cracks.

Of course, the above are two extreme situations. If they occur, they must be adjusted to a balanced state.
