You have a very Hot Constitutional Temperature. Some of the following suggestions may contradict others given elsewhere in this report. If so, you must decide which are the most important. Experimenting, if necessary, can be instructive.
Doctors very often disagree among themselves. In many ways you know yourself better than anyone else can. With that in mind, here are some ideas to help deal with a Hot Constitution:
Limit your intake of spicy foods, alcohol, coffee. Limit salads and other raw foods during flare ups. Avoid fried foods. Take care not to get too hot or exhausted in the spring and summer.
Emphasize vegetables – vegetable soups, cucumber, cooked cabbage, cooked greens. Teas – peppermint, chamomile, dandelion, chrysanthemum, red raspberry leaf, American ginseng. Spices: seaweed, orange or tangerine peel (in tea or soups)
General lifestyle tips. Relaxation and centering techniques along with exercise.
