In recent years, "Yu Huo" has become a hot topic in the field of traditional Chinese medicine health care and health.

This article will analyze its causes from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine theory and modern life, and combine it with hot topics on the Internet in the past 10 days to provide you with a comprehensive interpretation.
1. Traditional Chinese Medicine explanation of Yu Huo

In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, "Yuhuo" refers to a pathological state of fire caused by poor emotions and long-term stagnation of qi. The main symptoms include depression, irritability, chest tightness and hypochondriac pain, bitter mouth and dry throat. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the formation of stagnation of liver qi is closely related to stagnation of liver qi. Long-term emotional depression will lead to liver failure and dispersion, which will turn into fire.
