⭐其實是陰氣不足作怪
#星期五湯水
五心煩熱要滋陰
聽見中醫說「五心煩熱」，「五心」究竟在哪裡？五心是指兩隻手心、兩隻足心及心胸，跟據中醫理論，手足心及心胸在人體裡屬陰，陰虛則熱生於內，出現五心發熱的情況，全身體溫卻未必跟著升高，由於手掌發熱，特別喜歡手握冷物，而睡覺時喜歡將手腳伸出被外。五心煩熱症狀多出現於長期熬夜、嗜吃辛辣食物、情志不舒、更年期、手術後虛熱未清的陰虛體質人士身上，由於身體缺水乾涸，容易出現口乾舌燥、皮膚乾燥、便秘、失眠等伴隨症狀。想改善情況，平日宜適量進食滋陰食物，例如雪耳、沙參、百合、石斛、花旗參等，少吃辛辣、煎炸油膩食物，戒掉晚睡熬夜都有助紓緩陰虛症狀。
滋陰潤燥湯水小貼士：
適當地添加滋陰潤燥功效的食材如百合、石斛、花旗參等。

Replenish yin to relieve burning sensation of the five centres
There is a phrase in Chinese that refers to ‘burning sensation of the five centres, but where exactly are these ‘five centres’? They actually refer to the left and right palms and soles of our feet, as well as our chest.
According to the Chinese medicine theories, these five centres are yin in nature, and if an individual is deficient of yin, his or her body will produce heat from within, causing the five centres to feel warm. Nevertheless, the body temperature may not increase. Individuals with this condition like to grab cool objects, as their palms are constantly giving out heat, and when they sleep, they tend to extend their hands and legs out of the blanket.
The burning sensation of the five centres is often caused by frequent late nights, obsession with spicy food, emotional distress, menopause and stagnant heat in the body during the post-surgery period, and the feeling often happens to individuals with yin deficiency. As the body remains constantly dehydrated, other related symptoms such as dry mouth and tongue, dry skin, constipation and insomnia will also become apparent.
In order to improve such condition, do consume food that will nourish the yin, for instance, snow fungus, glehnia root, lily bulb, dendrobium and American ginseng; cut down on spicy, deep-fried and greasy food, and cultivate the habit of sleeping early, as it can help relieve symptoms caused by the yin deficiency.
