Lung Fire, Heart Fire, Liver Fire, Stomach Fire, and Visceral Fire: Traditional Chinese Medicine Teaches You to "Extinguish the Fire"!**​
Hello everyone, what to do when the five organs are affected by fire?

Today, we’ll briefly explain this. First, ​lung fire: The lungs are delicate organs, sensitive to both cold and heat. After exposure to cold, the cold can penetrate inward and transform into heat, leading to lung fire. Symptoms include coughing, yellow phlegm, worsened fever during illness, and burning sensations in the lung meridian. Severe cases may involve coughing up blood-tinged phlegm.

Next, ​heart fire: Key signs include mental restlessness, facial redness or heat, a sensation of heat rising from the mouth, and insomnia due to excessive heart fire disturbing the mind. When fire depletes yin and blood, heart blood deficiency arises. Heart fire can also descend to the small intestine, causing dark yellow or scanty urine (as the heart and small intestine are interconnected). Remedies focus on clearing heart fire and calming the mind. For fire descending to the small intestine, ​Daochi Powder​ is commonly used.

Liver fire​ is very common. Symptoms include dizziness, head distension, red, swollen, and painful eyes, and irritability. Severe liver fire may trigger "liver wind" (internal wind). For quick relief, herbs like ​**Gentian Root (Longdan Cao)**​ are effective.

Stomach fire​ relates to the spleen-stomach system. Symptoms include excessive hunger, acid reflux, and heartburn. However, some patients may have stomach fire alongside spleen deficiency (e.g., feeling hungry but full quickly, with alternating hunger and bloating).

Though lung, stomach, liver, and heart fires are discussed separately, patients often experience multiple fires simultaneously. For example, liver fire may aggravate stomach fire, or heart and liver fire may coexist.

Remember: Cases vary, and personalized TCM diagnosis is essential!
