Is it okay to drink ginger soup for a cold caused by excessive internal heat?
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, a cold caused by excessive internal heat is generally considered to occur when the body's resistance is low, and it is exposed to pathogenic wind-heat. At this time, it is necessary to take some pungent and cooling herbs to adjust the body. Ginger or ginger soup is not suitable in this case because its nature tends towards heat, and it has the effect of expelling wind and dispelling cold, which is suitable for colds caused by exposure to cold elements. For a cold caused by excessive internal heat, it is appropriate to drink some honeysuckle and chrysanthemum tea, as this can treat the condition. At the same time, attention should also be paid to diet, which should be as bland as possible, avoiding spicy, dry, irritating, and heat-inducing foods.
