Why does the phenomenon of cold body and strong liver fire occur?

Getting angry is a very common symptom in life. Traditional Chinese medicine divides angry into false fire and real fire, and different types have different treatment principles. Some people clearly have a weak and cold constitution, but they are also prone to symptoms of getting angry, especially getting angry in the liver. Why is this?

Why is it easy to get angry even though the body is cold?

Everyone has experienced "getting angry", such as ulcers in the mouth and tongue, dry stools, bad breath, smelly stools and sweating after eating angry foods, people with excessive liver fire have a quick temper and internal heat, and people with long-term illnesses have "yin deficiency and excessive fire". Traditional Chinese medicine divides "fire" into real fire and false fire. The treatment of real fire is to use purgation to clear heat and reduce fire, while the treatment of false fire is to use tonic method. As long as it is real fire, the most commonly used Chinese medicines for clearing heat, detoxifying and reducing fire and Western medicine's anti-inflammatory drugs are all symptomatic. Taking them for three days in a row will definitely reduce the fire. But nowadays, there are fewer and fewer people who suffer from real fire, and most of them suffer from false fire.

Why does severe coldness cause "fire"?

The direct consequence of heavy cold and dampness in the body is damage to the kidneys and spleen, causing insufficient kidney yang and spleen yang, kidney qi deficiency, and decreased function of various organs. Spleen qi deficiency causes poor direct digestion and absorption ability, so when you defecate you will see undigested food residues in the stool. Over time, you will not be able to grow food, and your blood will be deficient. The most typical organ is the liver. The liver belongs to the wood element and needs water the most. Water produces wood. Once there is a lack of water, liver dryness and liver fire will be very obvious. If you give the liver enough water and keep it moist at all times, it will not dry out and there will be no fire.

Methods to remove cold and dampness

1. Moxibustion is recommended

Moxibustion was originally used mainly to treat colds. For example, it is said in Su Wen: Discussion on Different Methods and Prescriptions: "In the north... the wind is cold and the ice is biting. The people there like to live in the wild and eat milk, which can cause internal coldness and lead to fullness diseases. The treatment is suitable for moxibustion." This moxa burning therapy is quite effective in treating "hidden cold and fullness disease", and later gradually developed into the treatment of various diseases of different natures throughout the body. The heat and medicinal effects of moxibustion can directly act on the lesion and expel the cold and dampness. During moxibustion, if water (wet) or blisters come out, it also means that there is a lot of cold and dampness in the body. It will get better if you persist in moxibustion for a period of time. As the saying goes, once the cold and dampness are removed, all diseases will be cured!

Moxibustion method: You can use moxa sticks or moxibustion instrument for moxibustion. Use moxa sticks for moxibustion on each acupoint for 10-20 minutes, and use moxibustion instrument for moxibustion on each acupoint for 30-50 minutes.

2. Navel rubbing method

Rubbing the navel is easy to learn, directly acts on the root of the disease (the abdomen is where cold and dampness gather), and is easy to stick to. Long-term adherence will lead to health, longevity, and full physical strength!

3. Patting and stretching

It has an immediate effect on waist and leg pain caused by cold and dampness. Papping can directly and quickly expel waste and cold and dampness from the body.
