What are the symptoms of blood heat and uterine cold?

Most women have a cold constitution, which can be fully verified by cold hands and feet in winter. Women with this constitution usually have symptoms of uterine cold, which leads to abnormal menstruation or even infertility. Some women feel that their bodies are abnormally hot, and there is always a fire burning from the inside out. They also often have nosebleeds and acne. These women are what we often call hot bodies, that is, hot blood constitution. So what are the symptoms of blood heat and its effects?

Many people think that blood heat is a disease, but it is not. Blood heat is not a disease in traditional Chinese medicine, but a manifestation and symptom of yin deficiency. The most obvious symptom of blood heat is "feeling heat in the five hearts", namely, heat in the palms of the hands, the soles of the feet, and the heart. Generally, people with hot blood will feel particularly hot, but their actual temperature is not high.

So, what does blood heat relate to and what causes it? Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Qi is Yang and blood is Yin. Yin deficiency causes internal heat, while Yang deficiency causes external cold. Therefore, blood heat should be caused by yin deficiency. In addition, the hot blood constitution has a certain relationship with genetics. If the parents have the hot blood constitution, the probability of the child having the hot blood constitution will be high.

In addition, people who have always been strong and have strong Yang energy in their bodies, who prefer to eat spicy and stimulating foods that boost Yang energy, as well as those who work in a very hot environment for a long time, or are overexposed to the sun in hot seasons, or sweat excessively without replenishing water in time, and who are thirsty and dehydrated for a long time are prone to develop a blood-heat constitution. Emotional excitement or depression turns into heat in the body, which also heats the blood and causes symptoms of blood heat.

Blood-heat constitution, prone to nosebleeds and hair loss

Although blood heat does not cause pain or itching, it can be very irritating and unbearable for people with this trait. Especially in summer, the weather is hot, and the heat in the body can easily affect mood. What effects will blood heat have on the body? Generally speaking, blood heat can cause nosebleeds, bleeding gums, peeling hands and feet, skin spots, etc. Moreover, Chinese medicine says that "hair is the residue of blood", so blood heat can easily cause hair loss and gray hair.

There is a popular saying that women with a hot blood constitution have difficulty getting pregnant. In fact, there is no necessary connection between hot blood and whether one can have a child. However, for women with a hot blood constitution, it will have a certain impact on their menstruation, such as advancing or prolonging the menstrual period.

Therefore, if you have flushed skin, oily skin, acne, an irritable personality, easy temper, hot palms and soles of feet, menstruation comes more than 7 days early, the amount of blood is heavy, the color is dark red or purple, or the menstrual period is long and continuous; the nose bleeds easily, and you have many dreams at night, etc., these symptoms may be manifestations of heat in the blood.

Precautions for people with blood heat

People with hot blood will generally feel the heat and unbearable, especially in the summer. Some people would like to walk barefoot at home and drink cold drinks every day, thinking that this will make them feel "cooler" and more comfortable.

These cooling methods are actually inappropriate. The heat felt by people with hot blood is not caused by the weather but an internal heat. Therefore, drinking a lot of cold drinks will not help.

To relieve the symptoms of blood heat, the most important thing is to cool the blood. Boil and drink raw rehmannia root + moutan bark + gardenia + radix polygoni multiflori, which can effectively regulate the constitution of blood heat and achieve the purpose of cooling the blood. Because these Chinese medicines have good effects of cooling blood and clearing heat. When it is recommended to use it, it is best to ask the doctor to prescribe the dosage according to your individual situation to avoid causing other adverse effects on the body.

Traditional Chinese medicine reminds people with hot blood constitution that they should eat more cool and moisturizing foods. For example, lotus root has the effect of clearing heat and cooling blood, and is most suitable for people with hot blood. In addition, snow pears, bitter melon, bitter herbs, mung beans, winter melon, black sesame, crabs, and duck meat are also blood-cooling foods and should be consumed more often. You should eat less warm and dry foods such as mutton, leeks, peppers, sunflower seeds, etc. You should avoid hot pot and alcohol.

In addition, people with hot blood should not do strenuous exercise, but should do gentle exercise, such as yoga. Static exercise is beneficial to regulate blood circulation in the body and soothe emotional fluctuations. In addition, people with hot blood should avoid sun exposure and should not sunbathe, because these people have excessive yang energy. If they are exposed to the sun and absorb the yang energy, it would be like adding fuel to the fire.
