Patient's question:
Often dry mouth, easy to get stomach problems, stomach cold, main chestnut, stomach distension, poor digestion, limbs weak, no spiritDoctor's answer:
According to your description, which is what we usually refer to as upper heat and lower cold, clearing heat leads to stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting, while warming and tonifying causes diarrhea. Symptoms such as toothache, bitter mouth, and sore throat are addressed by the Chinese medicine principle of clearing the upper and warming the middle, which achieves both clearing heat and warming and tonifying, thereby producing results. However, if the diet is irregular, treating with medication alone can sometimes be challenging. Stomach cold often leads to diarrhea, which is a form of deficiency heat. Pay close attention to preventing cold in the stomach, especially after taking a nap and after dinner. Avoid eating cold foods regularly.
