#個人無熱何解要下火？
#寒涼才可以下火

其實香港人對下火有很多謎思，身體一覺得出現所謂熱氣的症狀就會速速去下火，飲涼茶、吃綠豆沙或龜苓膏，吃過就以為問題可以解決，但其實又有幾次覺得有功效？又有不少人，覺得自己畏寒又易出現虛寒症狀，是寒底，但又要去下火。其實「熱氣」不一定實火，有可能是虛火，虛火還再下火，虛上加虛。想想為甚麼要下火？如果身體本身並沒有熱氣，還需要下火嗎？
EC, I have a cold-natured body, so how do I go about clearing excessive fire?
CheckCheckCin: A lot of Hong Kong people have misconceptions about ‘fire’ in the body and feel like the moment they experience any heat-related symptoms, then they need to immediately reduce the fire in their body. They end up drinking cool herbal teas, eat mung bean slush or Tortoise Jelly thinking the problem would be resolved. But how often does it actually work? Then there are others who have aversion to cold and have asthenic cold symptoms, but still choose to clear heat. In reality, heat can be physical heat or asthenic heat. For those with asthenic heat, further clearing it will actually worsen the condition. It’s important to understand your body to see if you really have excessive heat and do not try to clear it if you don’t have it.
