What causes excessive lung fire

Excessive lung fire is very common in daily life. It will have a direct impact on people's lives. There are many reasons for excessive lung fire, including diet, colds, etc., which need to be given enough attention, otherwise it will cause a series of symptoms and will be more difficult to treat. We must seize the right treatment opportunity and recover health as soon as possible. At the same time, you can eat more fruits such as pears, monk fruit and loquat.

1. Cause Analysis

Lung excess heat syndrome is mostly caused by exposure to external pathogens. For example, wind, cold, heat, dampness and dryness among the six evils can all transform into fire (that is, the five elements transform into fire). It can also be because the body has strong yang energy, and the emotional factors such as joy, anger, thinking, worry and fear can transform into fire under certain conditions (that is, the five emotions transform into fire). The heat of fire causes the evil heat to accumulate in the lungs, and the lungs lose their ability to clear and purify themselves, resulting in the syndrome of lung meridian excess heat. Lung Yin deficiency syndrome is mostly caused by long-term cough that damages the lungs and the lung Yin; or due to exogenous febrile disease that damages the lung fluid; or other strains that lead to insufficient lung Yin and failure to clear and purify, resulting in symptoms of lung failure to clear and purify and internal heat due to Yin deficiency.
