What does Shao Huo mean?

Shaoyin Huo Jun is an important concept in the system of traditional Chinese medicine, which refers to the fire of heart meridian of hand shaoyin and kidney meridian of foot shaoyin, also known as heart-kidney fire. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that deficiency of yin and fire is the first of the five internal organs, which can promote the metabolism of the body and regulate the balance of yin and yang, and is an important basis for human life activities.

The generation of shaoyin and clearing fire is closely related to the functions of heart and kidney. Chinese medicine believes that the heart is the official of the monarch, which can control blood, regulate qi and blood and promote the metabolism of the body. Kidney is the official of storing essence, which can store essence, regulate the body's water and liquid metabolism, and promote the generation of less yin and fire. If there is a problem with the function of the heart and kidney, it will lead to deficiency of yin and insufficient or excessive fire of the monarch, thus causing various physical discomfort.

The regulation of shaoyin and bihuo also depends on the coordination between the five internal organs. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the five internal organs are interrelated and mutually regulated, and problems in any one organ will affect the functions of other organs. Therefore, when treating deficiency and excess of yin deficiency and fire, TCM needs to comprehensively consider the interaction between the five internal organs, and promote the generation and regulation of yin deficiency and fire by adjusting diet, living habits and drugs.
