Chapped lips caused by “excessive internal heat” (a traditional Chinese medicine concept) can be managed by improving one’s diet, drinking plenty of boiled water, and ensuring adequate sleep. Lip care is also essential when experiencing heat-related dryness. Applying a highly moisturizing lip balm can help relieve symptoms; additionally, using a nourishing lip mask before bedtime is recommended. These measures can effectively alleviate chapped, dry lips associated with “excessive internal heat.”
