How to quickly clear fire

Getting a fever is a very serious matter. If you are not careful, it may cause constipation, sore throat, bleeding gums, etc. Therefore, once you find it, you must clear the fever in time. There are many methods of clearing heat clinically, among which the method of clearing heat by massaging acupoints in traditional Chinese medicine is quite effective. For example, press the "Lidui Point" for sore mouth corners, press the "Guan Chong Point" for excessive eye discharge, press the "Yuji Point" for fire in the nose, and press the "Neiting Point" for toothache caused by stomach fire.

1. Press the "Lidui Point" for sore mouth corners

Lidui point belongs to the spleen meridian of foot Taiyin, and is located next to the nail of the second toe, close to the side of the third toe. During the hot dog days, symptoms such as abdominal distension, aversion to greasy food, nausea and vomiting, scanty urine and red face, itchy body and fever, dry and bitter mouth, red and itchy corners of the mouth, peeling and erosion are common. In even worse cases, cracks may appear, and sometimes bleeding occurs when the mouth is opened. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach function is weakened in the elderly, causing water and grain to gather and turn into fire. 7 to 9 o'clock is the time when the stomach's digestion and absorption capacity is strong. You can use a small wooden stick to press this point, 100 times each time, alternating between the two feet 2 to 3 times, twice a day. It has the effects of clearing away heat and dampness, and regulating the stomach and intestines.

2. If there is a lot of eye mucus, press the "Guan Chong Point"

Guanchong acupoint belongs to the Shaoyang Triple Burner Meridian of the Hand. In the elderly, eye mucus appears in the corners of the eyes after waking up, and sometimes the eye mucus sticks to the eyelids. This is caused by the invasion of evil fire into the upper part of the body or the upward rush of heat toxins in the body. There may be increased blood pressure and even conjunctivitis. The acupressure point is located next to the ring finger nail and close to the little finger side. Guanchong acupoint has the effect of relieving heat, opening the orifices, and clearing the head. The force should be enough to feel obvious soreness, numbness and swelling, and persist for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Then press the Guanchong point on the other hand, 2 to 3 times a day.

3. If your nose is burning, press the Yuji point

Yuji point belongs to the hand Taiyin lung meridian. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lung opens up to the nose. A hot nose and dry throat are manifestations of lung heat. Symptoms may even include coughing or wheezing, yellow and sticky phlegm, chest pain, or coughing up pus and blood with a fishy odor. The muscle at the base of the thumb of the palm is obviously protruding, shaped like the thenar eminence, which is a point for removing heat, clearing away heat and relieving sore throat, and regulating lung qi. Press and rub the arms frequently until they become warm, imagining the heat flowing along the arms into the chest. Rub for 3 minutes continuously, 2 to 3 times a day.

4. For toothache caused by stomach fire, press the "Neiting Point"

Neiting acupoint belongs to the Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that when the stomach fire is intense, symptoms include thirst, frequent drinking, or thirst for cold drinks, bad breath, swollen and painful gums, and constipation. The Neiting point can clear the stomach and relieve heat, and its effect is comparable to "Qingwei Huanglian Pills". This point is located in the depression behind the toe crease of the second and third toes on the dorsum of the foot. Every morning and evening, pinch and press with the tip of your thumb until you feel soreness, numbness and swelling, for 1 to 2 minutes, then press the other foot, and repeat 2 to 3 times.
