Clearing Heat (Qing-Re)

Overview

Heat-clearing strategies target internal and ambient heat patterns. Aromatics bring subtle ambient cooling and emotional soothing, complementing rather than substituting antimicrobial clinical protocols.

Key Principles

• Multi-Level Heat: Differentiate superficial qi-level heat from deeper restlessness.
• Digestive Protection: Overuse of extremely cold botanical scents can numb weak digestive fire.
• Seasonal Synergy: Cooling aromatics shine during hot summer weather and high-tension environments.

Note: High fever or severe systemic infection requires emergency medical intervention.
