Hot Air

[sylinchinastill]

Does anyone's wife or fiancee understand what this is? My fiance always seems to have it when the seasons change and he calls it hot air- I looked on the internet and it talks about having too much yang in your body- but I don't believe in Chinese medicine- or rather I think it's impossible that there is a disease that only Chinese people have. I think it could be allergies or something- his tongue is white and his throat is sore and his eyes are swollen- but I just need to know what this disease is for sure-

Thrush?

I've never dared say i don't believe in "traditional chinese medicine", but my guess is it's some type of allergy, I will ask my darling about your question.

Eating for the Season

 

by Donna Pankiw

 

Yin and Yang are concepts central to Chinese Medicine. Just as they are applied to herbs, parts of the body, and the seasons, Yin and Yang are also characteristics applied to the food we eat.

Maybe an old wive's tale, but local honey is supposed to reduce allergies. Theory being since the bees have eaten the pollen, the honey will pass on an immunization of sorts.

[Phil & Ningning]

Ningning often talks about the hot air or the heat and refers to hot and cold foods. I of course know nothing of it and find it very interesting. Sometimes when I don't feel good I ask her what to do, and she will tell me to eat or drink this or that. It nearly always works.

God I need her here now.

Thanks for your replies- I made him take allergy medicine last night- he's fine now- He always stays away from fried foods to keep his internal heat down- but it must have been allergies in this case- He has been taking Chinese medicine- but we have the interview soon- and don't have a week or so to wait until it kicks in.

Jun calls it "fire"

[Patrick & Li]

Yea, My wife perplexes me sometimes. She says she doesn't like the "Fire food". I say, do you mean spicy? But she says no! Hot? but still no!

I suspect it has something to do with drinking the Hot water, as opposed to drinking cool water.

Ok call me stupid but what is a cold sweat I have some nights I sweat my ass off and wake with wet sheets (No dave not pissing) but the only thing that is cold is the air when it touches me.

I still can't understand why it seems to my bf so weird that I drink cold water instead of hot water in the middle of summer!!!!!

[olemanoman1950]

actually I think if you drink hot drinks in the Summer this causes you to sweat a little thus putting a coat of water on the surface of your skin and when a slight breeze hits it you feel cool. Works almost like the mist fans they use at sporting events in the Summer. ever wonder why they put cool wet towels on the forehead when someone has a fever? Keeps the Brain Cool.
