Will I get a sore throat if I take Chinese medicine?

Now in our daily life, when many people are sick, they are accustomed to using Chinese medicine to treat the disease and regulate the body. Because Western medicine only treats the symptoms and not the root cause, many people like to use Chinese medicine methods to completely remove the lesions and treat the disease fundamentally. However, Chinese medicine treatment also has many limitations. When we use Chinese medicine treatment, we must also carry out it according to our own personal conditions. So, will taking Chinese medicine cause getting a sore throat? Let’s find out together.

First of all, I want to tell you that taking Chinese medicine can certainly cause internal heat. Chinese medicine emphasizes the four qi and five flavors, and of course there are things with heat. Internal heat has a deeper meaning, that is, some broad symptoms of internal heat, such as stomach fire can cause stomach pain, dry stool, bad breath, etc., lung fire can cause hemoptysis, cough, yellow sputum, etc., liver fire can cause some irritability, insomnia, women will have breast pain, heart fire can cause palpitations, insomnia, and irritability.

The human body has fire. If there is no fire, life will stop. This is the so-called fire of life. Of course, the fire should be kept within a certain range. For example, the body temperature should be around 37 degrees. If the fire is too high, people will feel uncomfortable and will have many specific manifestations such as redness, swelling, heat, pain, and irritability.

In a sense, life comes with fire and death comes without fire. In a normal sense, fire is necessary within a certain range. If it exceeds the normal range, it is evil fire. Abnormal fire is divided into virtual fire and real fire. Normally, the yin and yang of the human body are balanced. For real fire, the yin is normal but the yang is too strong, which shows as real fire. In another case, the yang is normal but the yin is less, which makes the yang too strong, which shows as virtual fire.

According to Chinese medicine theory, all the internal organs have yin and yang qi. If the yin and yang are out of balance, there will be the so-called yang fire or virtual fire rising. The specific situation depends on individual circumstances.

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the treatment based on syndrome differentiation. Because everyone's physique is different and the symptoms vary, the same medicine is not suitable for everyone. Generally, a person's Chinese medicine prescription is determined based on the actual four examinations (that is, looking, smelling, asking, and palpating). The medicinal properties of Chinese medicine are usually summarized as "four properties and five flavors." The four properties are also called the four qi, which refer to the four different properties of the medicine: "cold, hot, warm, and cool." Cold and cool, hot and warm are the same attributes, but there are differences in degree. In addition to the four properties, there is also a neutral property, which means that the medicinal property is neutral, and the cold or hot tendency is not obvious, but in fact there is still a difference of slightly warm or slightly cool.

The above is all about whether taking Chinese medicine will cause getting angry. Not every Chinese medicine is suitable for every person, so when choosing Chinese medicine treatment, you must also choose the medicinal materials and Chinese medicine methods that are suitable for you. You cannot choose Chinese medicine blindly. You must do it under the guidance of a Chinese medicine practitioner. Otherwise, it will bring greater trouble to your body and fail to achieve the therapeutic effect.
