How to deal with severe heatiness (excessive internal heat)
Disease description:
Recently, I've been experiencing severe heatiness, with dry and cracked lips, mouth ulcers, and poor skin condition. I would like to know how to address severe heatiness.
When the symptoms of excessive internal heat become severe, the following measures should be taken to effectively address the issue:
1. **Medication**: Take medications that have heat-clearing and detoxifying effects, such as Niuhuang Jiedu Pian (Calculus Bovis Detoxification Tablets), Yin Qiao San (Honeysuckle & Forsythia Powder), or Compound Honeysuckle Granules. Specific medications should be used according to a physician's instructions.
2. **Dietary Regulation**: Consume more cooling foods, such as pears, white radish, and crab. Avoid spicy, stimulating, and heat-inducing foods, such as chili peppers, ginger, and longan.
3. **Daily Care**: Maintain good sleep habits and avoid staying up late or overexertion; drink plenty of water to stay well-hydrated; engage in moderate exercise to help the body eliminate toxins.
4. **Emotional Regulation**: Maintain a positive and optimistic mindset, and avoid significant emotional fluctuations to help alleviate symptoms of excessive internal heat.
5. **Professional Treatment**: If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly and follow the physician's recommendations for targeted treatment.
