What is the difference between stomach fire and liver fire? How should I treat it?
The etiology and symptoms of hyperactivity of liver fire, also known as hyperactivity of liver fire, is a syndrome type of traditional Chinese medicine, which is a series of symptoms such as irritability and irritability caused by abnormal liver function, which leads to hyperactivity of liver qi and excessive rise of liver qi. Clinically, it often occurs in patients with hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, hepatitis B, alcoholic hepatitis and autoimmune diseases.
It can be manifested as headache, dizziness, red face and red eyes, red eyes, dry mouth and bitter taste, tinnitus, hearing loss and other symptoms, which are caused by liver fire; It can also be manifested as gingival bleeding, nosebleeds, vomiting blood, bloody stool, etc. It is caused by excessive anger. If the body fluid burns further, there will be symptoms such as oliguria, yellow urine and dry stool. It can also lead to insomnia, dreaminess and various nightmares. In addition, because the liver stores blood, and women are born with liver, if the liver fire is strong, it will lead to symptoms such as irregular menstruation and excessive menstrual flow in women.
Etiology and symptoms of hyperactivity of stomach fire Hyperactivity of stomach fire is a Chinese medicine disease, that is, stomach heat. Inflammation of stomach fire can lead to symptoms such as stomach qi upwelling, nausea and vomiting, acidity and yellow water. Excessive stomach fire can cause dry mouth, bitter taste, strong appetite, constipation, heartburn, acid reflux, loss of appetite and other symptoms. Excessive stomach fire belongs to the diagnosis method of gastropathy in traditional Chinese medicine, which is divided into real fire and virtual fire, and different types have different symptoms.
Patients with excessive stomach fire mainly show a burning sensation in the stomach. After eating, food will be quickly digested and decomposed, so patients will have a strong appetite. People with a strong stomach will also be accompanied by oral symptoms, mainly manifested as dry mouth, bitter taste, bad breath and swollen gums. In addition to the burning sensation in the stomach, the digestive function of the stomach will also be affected, resulting in symptoms of indigestion.
So it will be accompanied by loss of appetite. Because gastric acid secretion erodes gastric mucosa, patients will also have symptoms such as heartburn and acid reflux. Whether the stomach is full of fire or the stomach is deficient in fire, patients will be accompanied by symptoms such as short urine and constipation.
We have a very simple way to treat stomach fire. For example, there are some drugs for clearing away heat and toxic materials, which are mainly manifested in the gums and mouth when the stomach fire is not too heavy. Some Chinese medicine prescriptions can gargle with decoction instead of water, and play a relatively slight and weak role in clearing stomach fire through local action.
Weihuowang can be conditioned by taking orally stomach-clearing drugs, and can be treated by taking orally Wei Qing Huanglian Pill, Dahuang Wei Qing Pill, Niuhuang Wei Qing Pill and Huoxiang Wei Qing Capsule. In addition, oral decoction can also be used for treatment, and Wei Qing Powder and Yunv Decoction are commonly used in clinic. It can also be treated by acupuncture, purgation and acupuncture at Neiting and Taichong points.
The treatment of hyperactivity of liver fire is mainly to tonify liver and clear heat. Excess of liver fire is a concept of traditional Chinese medicine, and it is a manifestation of yin deficiency and internal heat. Traditional Chinese medicine mainly treats liver deficiency with excessive fire, and the symptomatic treatment adopts nourishing yin and adding drugs to clear away deficiency and heat. Liver deficiency is actually caused by yin deficiency, and yin deficiency is actually blood deficiency. Liver has the function of storing blood, and deficiency of liver blood deficiency and liver qi is yin deficiency.
The liver is yin and yang, that is, after the liver stores blood, the yin and blood are insufficient due to blood deficiency, and then the deficiency of fire is endogenous, leading to liver deficiency and fire flourishing. Therefore, Yiguanjian is more nourishing yin, especially nourishing liver and blood. Fire is flourishing, this fire is a virtual fire. We don't need drugs to clear damp heat, but use drugs to clear deficiency heat.
