Can corns be massaged?
Corns cannot be effectively treated by massage alone; it only serves as a supplementary help, alleviating the symptoms caused by corns. To cure corns thoroughly, treatments such as cryotherapy, laser therapy, or even surgery are necessary. Furthermore, the occurrence of corns is often triggered by frequently consuming spicy food or having excessively hard foot pads, which compresses the feet. It is recommended to rest more often and soaking the feet in warm water can also be an effective improvement.

Can treating kidney deficiency effectively treat hair loss related to this condition?
Kidney deficiency type hair loss can be effectively treated by curing the kidney condition. Moreover, one should consume foods like walnuts, black sesame seeds, and black beans regularly, as these can greatly help improve hair health and provide effective relief. Regular consumption of leeks, Chinese yam, and goji berries can help nourish the kidneys. It is also necessary to engage in physical exercise, which not only boosts the body's immunity but also helps manage symptoms of kidney deficiency. Most importantly, one should avoid staying up late, as chronic sleep deprivation can lead to physical weakness.

Diet therapy method for colds caused by excessive internal heat
For conditions like heatiness and the common cold, it is primarily important to manage them through regular diet and improving lifestyle habits, as dietary therapy alone isn't completely effective. For patients with severe colds, it is recommended to visit a formal hospital and actively follow the doctor's guidance, using medication to achieve healing effects. For patients with mild symptoms of heatiness or a cold, it can be effectively managed through regular dietary therapy. For instance, consuming more fresh fruits and vegetables, such as apples, pears, and leafy greens, can significantly improve symptoms.

Can you soak your feet if you have a cold due to excessive internal heat?
Patients with "heat-induced" colds can soak their feet, which not only causes no harm to the body but can also effectively help reduce heat and improve cold symptoms. Moreover, you can soak your feet daily, or add ingredients such as ginger, Sichuan peppercorns, and white vinegar to the soaking water. These additions can effectively dispel wind and cold, promote blood circulation, relieve stagnation, and improve sleep quality, as well as accelerate metabolism in the body. Therefore, you can soak your feet daily, but be sure to control the water temperature around 40°C and limit the soaking time to about 15 to 30 minutes to achieve the desired effects of foot soaking.

How to recover from hair loss due to kidney deficiency?
For hair loss caused by kidney deficiency, you can first eat some black sesame seeds, walnuts, or Chinese yam in your daily diet, which can help nourish the kidneys and effectively improve the condition. However, severe hair loss requires timely treatment to nourish the kidneys for proper adjustment. It is most important to maintain adequate sleep and avoid excessive fatigue. The diet should be nutritious, focusing on foods that nourish the kidneys, and kidney function can also be timely adjusted by taking traditional Chinese medicine. Such measures can lead to significant improvement. Additionally, acupuncture can be used to effectively regulate the body by stimulating specific points, or cupping therapy can also be used for treatment.

Will an oily scalp occur with hair loss due to kidney deficiency?
Hair loss caused by kidney deficiency also results in an oily scalp, as the lack of nutrients in the hair leads to oil secretion. It is essential to adjust one’s condition in a timely manner if kidney deficiency occurs. For minor cases, effective relief can often be achieved through dietary adjustments. In more severe cases, however, timely medication is necessary for effective treatment to prevent the condition from worsening. Regularly consuming foods like Chinese leeks, Chinese yam, and goji berries can help nourish the kidneys. It is also crucial to prioritize rest and avoid staying up late, as frequent lack of sleep can exacerbate physical weakness and worsen the condition.

Does kidney deficiency type hair loss cause an itchy scalp?
Hair loss caused by kidney deficiency generally causes an itchy scalp because, during hair loss, the scalp lacks nutrition, leading also to a significant amount of dandruff, which results in itching. It is advised to consistently manage this condition in everyday life. To treat kidney deficiency, one can promptly take medications for effective and quick treatment. Dietary adjustments, such as including leeks, Chinese yam, and goji berries, can also significantly help in replenishing kidney deficiency and effectively managing the condition. Additionally, engaging in moderate physical exercise can help increase resistance.

How to distinguish between plum pit qi and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
Plum pit qi and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can initially be distinguished by their symptoms. For example, plum pit qi primarily presents with a sensation of a foreign object in the throat, which cannot be coughed up nor swallowed down. On the other hand, GERD may lead to vomiting, gastrointestinal indigestion, and it is likely to cause symptoms such as throat pain. Therefore, distinguishing between the two based on their symptoms can be very effective. Regardless of whether it is plum pit qi or GERD, it is crucial to seek timely treatment to prevent the condition from worsening and becoming more difficult to cure.

The symptoms of a cold caused by wind-cold primarily include feeling chills, headache, and respiratory symptoms such as a runny nose, nasal congestion, coughing, and sneezing.

If the condition is severe, it is best to go to a formal hospital and receive treatment according to the doctor's guidance.

Does taking a bath help with a cold caused by excessive internal heat?
Taking a bath after catching a cold, especially with cold water, is not effective and is generally not recommended as it can exacerbate the illness. It is advisable to use warm water if bathing is necessary, and not to bathe daily as this can also worsen the condition. It is best to treat a cold by taking medication, and dietary practices should avoid stimulating, greasy, and spicy foods. Eating fresh fruits and vegetables, drinking plenty of water, and frequent urination are recommended for effective relief. Additionally, it is important to ensure adequate rest and avoid staying up late.
