The difference between false fire and real fire, you should distinguish them like this

In daily life, it is quite common to get inflamed. Generally, it is caused by long-term neglect of living habits or eating habits. There are two types of inflamed body: false fire and real fire. Generally, false fire can cause symptoms such as night sweats, while real fire can cause dry mouth, yellow urine, etc.

How to distinguish whether you have false fire or real fire

The first characteristic of deficiency fire : hot flashes and night sweats. Hot flashes are like the rising tide of a river, with fever occurring at regular intervals, usually in the afternoon. Night sweats occur when you are sleeping at night and sweat during deep sleep, and the sweat stops when you wake up.

Oliguria and edema: The kidney controls water, and the metabolism of urine requires the promotion and evaporation of kidney yang. If the kidney yang is insufficient, less urine is produced and toxins cannot be metabolized and remain in the tissue gaps, causing edema.

Dizziness and tinnitus: Yang Qi has a consolidating effect. If the kidney is deficient, Yang Qi cannot be consolidating, and the rising virtual fire affects the brain. This causes dizziness and buzzing in the ears.

Throat soreness but no redness or swelling: When the internal heat rises, you will feel sore throat, but when you check the area around the throat, the color is not dark red. This is caused by false fire, so you cannot take heat-clearing and fire-purging medicine to treat sore throat.

The symptoms of real fire include red and swollen eyes, yellow urine, dry mouth and throat, sore throat, and fever in the five parts of the body. The most obvious symptom of these five kinds of heat is hot palms and feet, as well as irritability and heat, and the whole person feels like soaking in ice water.

Many people will suffer from oral ulcers. Oral ulcers are a disease that is common to people with both deficiency fire and excess fire. Generally, people with excess fire are more likely to suffer from oral ulcers, and this is mostly related to diet. If oral ulcers cannot be cured by methods of clearing heat and purging fire, you might consider that they are caused by false fire. Pay attention to whether you are particularly fond of coolness and cannot do without ice cream in winter.

Just clear away the heat and reduce the fire. If you have deficiency fire, you should pay attention to whether there is a problem with your internal organs. The weakness of internal organs will cause various deficiency symptoms. If the deficiency syndrome is allowed to develop and is accompanied by dampness and cold, the body's pathology will be aggravated.

Look at the urine. If the urine is yellow in color and has a strong odor, and the tongue is red, it is real fire. If the urine is light in color and clear, it means there is cold in the body, which is virtual fire.

Look at the stool. If the stool is dry and hard and the tongue is red, it means real fire. If the stool is dry and hard, the tongue is pale and the tongue coating is white, it means virtual fire. If the stool is loose or soft or there is diarrhea, it means there is cold in the body, which is virtual fire.

If the body has fever symptoms, the body temperature exceeds 37.5 degrees, the whole body is hot and thirsty, which means that the internal heat is large, which is real fire.

When you have a fever, your hands and feet are cold, your body fluctuates between hot and cold, and you don’t want to drink water. This means there is cold in your body and it is a false fire.
