Feeling of heat, also known as a sensation of warmth or overheating, refers to an internal or external perception of increased temperature in the body. This symptom can manifest as a general sensation of heat throughout the body or localized warmth in specific areas. It can be accompanied by sweating, redness, and discomfort, and may vary in intensity. In Western medicine, it is often linked to conditions such as infections, hormonal imbalances, or environmental factors. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a different perspective, viewing feeling of heat as a sign of underlying disharmony within the body.
In TCM, feeling of heat is considered a result of internal imbalances that disrupt the body's natural harmony. These imbalances can be caused by various patterns of disharmony, such as excess Yang, Heat accumulation, or Yin Deficiency. TCM practitioners diagnose the specific pattern through a detailed assessment of symptoms and the patient's overall condition. Treatment focuses on addressing the root cause of the Heat sensation by restoring balance within the body's systems, often through the use of herbal formulas, acupuncture, and dietary recommendations.
TCM Patterns for Feeling Of Heat
Heat
Intense, ascending pathogenic force that consumes body fluids, disturbs the mind, and accelerates all physiological processes
Causes: Feeling of heat, Hot body, Feeling of heat in the afternoon, Feeling of heat in the evening
Heat is a major pathogenic factor in Traditional Chinese Medicine that can arise from external invasion or internal generation. Heat has the characteristics of burning intensity, rising upward, consuming qi and fluids, and generating wind and disturbing blood. In TCM philosophy, normal physiological warmth is called "minor fire" (少火) which maintains life functions, while pathological heat is "major fire" (壮火) which damages the body.
