Dr. He Haochen
The methods for regulating excessive liver and lung fire mainly include the following aspects:
1. Dietary adjustment: Choose light foods such as chicory, bitter melon, lotus seeds, tremella, and pear, which can clear liver fire and nourish yin to moisten the lungs. Avoid consuming greasy and spicy foods, such as braised pork and chili peppers.
2. Lifestyle habits: Maintain good daily routines, avoid staying up late and overexertion, to preserve the body's balance of yin and yang. Engage in appropriate physical activities, such as walking and Tai Chi, which can help strengthen physical health.
3. Emotional management: Adjust your mindset, avoid negative emotions such as irritability and anger, and maintain a calm mental state.
4. Herbal regulation: Under a doctor's guidance, appropriate traditional Chinese medicines can be selected for regulation, such as Long Dan Xie Gan Wan (Dragon胆泻肝丸), honeysuckle, and forsythia.
Patients with concerns are advised to seek timely medical consultation.
