How to effectively treat stomach fire

Stomach fire is very common in traditional Chinese medicine. It has a great impact on the body, which is also related to endocrine system. When it comes to treating stomach fire, we must approach it from many aspects, especially diet. If the stomach fire is too strong, the diet must be light and not too spicy.

1. Avoid spicy food:

As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure. Stomach fire is mostly caused by improper diet. For example, spicy food and alcoholism will help generate heat and make the stomach fire strong. We usually try to avoid spicy food, which may reduce stomach fire.

2. Diet therapy to reduce internal heat:

Some foods can cause stomach fire to increase, and some foods can also help us reduce stomach fire. For example, mung bean porridge can help us reduce stomach fire. Mung beans are rich in nutrients and can increase appetite, lower blood lipids, and lower cholesterol. Drinking mung bean porridge in summer can remove stomach fire, but people with weak body should not eat too much.

3. Rehydrate:

As the saying goes, water and fire cannot coexist, which shows that water has a restraining effect on fire. When you feel that you have stomach fire, you can drink more water. Drinking water can not only solve the problem of stomach fire, but also solve many other problems. Otherwise, how can there be a saying that "boiled water can cure all diseases".

4. Ensure sleep quality:

Excessive physical fatigue can cause indigestion, and poor sleep quality will only add fuel to the fire. You should pay attention to your sleep time every day. The body is detoxifying when it is resting. If you don’t get enough rest at this time, it will affect the body’s detoxification, causing toxins to remain in the body and cause indigestion. Therefore, it is important to ensure the quality of sleep.

5. Chinese medicine conditioning:

You can go to a local old Chinese medicine doctor and describe your symptoms to him. He will prescribe a prescription for you to reduce heat and take it regularly. There are many Chinese medicine prescriptions for reducing stomach heat on the Internet, but they may not be suitable for you. It is best to get a diagnosis yourself.
