Knowing floating Fire
Floating Fire is different from what you
learned in the TCM text in which a Fire means a clinic condition
with high fever, heavy sweat, pain, short of breath, or even
loss of conscience (similar to acute infectious disease
conditions).
Floating Fire we mention here means a
clinic condition in which the true condition of the body is
extreme Yang deficiency or extreme Yin overwhelming. Too much
Yin in the body expels the Yang Qi out on the surface of the
body. The patients feel, basically, cold in the body, willing to
drink hot water, have frequent and clear urine or water-like
diarrhea, loss interest to do things, dislike to talk or to meet
people, etc. They may also feel hot flash from time to time or a
continuous hot feeling. However, they may look as pink on face,
or show pink or fresh red color on the tip of the tongue, or
feel burning in the feet, or anus.
Such floating conditions
suggest a very emergency condition to patient life that needs
urgent treatment.
To solve such floating condition, it is
recommended to use Si Ni Tang as the main herbal formula to
supply more Yang Qi to the body.
The use of Cold herbs, such as Liu Wei Di Huang Wan to
nourish the Yin Qi in the body, will only make thing worse.
So, remember that if you meet any clinic
condition that triggers you to consider a Fire, make sure it is
true Fire or a false Fire (the floating Fire). This is a
life-associated issue!
