2. Stomach fire - inflammatory acne

Stomach fire is mostly caused by excessive stomach heat. When you get acne, you may also have symptoms such as constipation, flushed face, and ulcers on the lips.

You can take appropriate amounts of warm and cool foods such as lotus leaf porridge and lotus seed porridge, and soak your feet in hot water to guide the fire downward. Pay attention to adjusting your sleep and avoid staying up late. You will see improvements after a few days of persistence.
