Can mugwort ash treat athlete's foot?
Mugwort ash actually cannot help cure athlete's foot, but if you soak your feet in mugwort ash or mugwort over a long period of time, it can significantly help improve the condition. This is because soaking in hot water accelerates local metabolism and promotes blood circulation, thereby effectively relieving and improving the condition. Mugwort itself can achieve the purpose of relieving itchiness and dispelling dampness, which can significantly help in conditioning the body and providing relief. For cases of athlete's foot, it is necessary to manage it through regular physical exercise or daily foot soaks.

Is vomiting a symptom of a cold caused by wind-cold or wind-heat?
In cases of vomiting, whether it is due to a cold caused by wind-cold or wind-heat, both can lead to the occurrence of vomiting. Therefore, vomiting alone cannot be used to determine the specific type of cold causing it. It still requires the identification through other symptoms. For example, a wind-cold is mainly caused by exposure to cold, while wind-heat is due to excessive heat turning into fire. There are also differences in the treatment of the two, and they cannot be treated in the same way. For a wind-cold, treatment mainly involves warm-natured medicines, while for wind-heat, cool-natured medicines are primarily used.

Can a cold caused by wind-cold result in a fever?
In cases of mild wind-cold common cold, fever usually does not occur. However, severe conditions can lead to symptoms of fever, so it is crucial to treat it promptly to effectively avoid fever symptoms. Treatment can be administered through medication for effective and rapid relief, as well as through regular diet or drinking more warm water, which can effectively expel some of the internal heat from the body through urine, resulting in effective improvement. Dietarily, it is mainly important to avoid stimulating, raw, and cold foods, and it is also necessary to keep warm and avoid getting chilled.

Precautions for Wind-Heat Colds
For individuals with wind-heat colds, it is important to avoid consuming overly hot or overly spicy foods, as well as overly cold foods. Care should also be taken not to overheat oneself; do not cover oneself with blankets to induce sweating, as this can exacerbate the condition. It is recommended that those suffering from wind-heat colds drink more plain water to help regulate the body, or consume honey water regularly, which can also effectively aid in regulation. Additionally, it is crucial to avoid eating overly hard foods, refrain from staying up late, and ensure ample sleep to aid in faster recovery and improvement.

Can stomach fire cause oral ulcers?
If there is excessive stomach fire, it can cause oral ulcers, because excessive stomach fire leads to poor digestion in the gastrointestinal tract. If food cannot be digested properly, it will reflux into the mouth, and may also cause symptoms like throat pain and a dry, itchy throat. Therefore, if stomach fire occurs, it is essential to treat it promptly to avoid worsening the condition. Drinking some rose tea or chrysanthemum tea can effectively clear heat and detoxify, helping to reduce stomach fire. Most importantly, do not drink alcohol, smoke, or eat spicy and irritating foods, as these can exacerbate stomach fire.

What vitamin is lacking in excessive sweating?
Excessive sweating generally occurs and is mostly considered to be caused by a lack of trace elements, such as a deficiency in zinc or calcium. Effective conditioning can initially be achieved through calcium supplementation, for instance, by consuming more foods and fruits like eggs, fish, lean meat, shrimp, rib soup, egg soup, Chinese cabbage, leafy greens, bananas, grapefruits, and oranges. These can greatly help replenish the calcium the body is lacking and contain trace elements that can lead to significant improvements. Regular physical exercise is also necessary, as it can increase the body's resistance and effectively prevent diseases.

Where to apply moxibustion for acute urticaria
In cases of acute urticaria, it is advised to promptly visit a hospital and undergo treatment under the guidance of a doctor. This is because moxibustion is a slow treatment method and is not very effective for acute urticaria. However, if urticaria occurs in normal circumstances, it can be slowly treated through moxibustion, which can achieve therapeutic purposes. Moxibustion mainly plays a supplementary role. Initially, moxibustion can be applied to acupoints such as Quchi, Dazhui, and Sanyinjiao to maintain health and achieve effective conditioning.

Excessive sweating is commonly seen in which diseases?
In cases of excessive sweating, it is often seen in individuals with kidney deficiency, physical weakness, or excessive dampness. It may also be due to malnutrition, such as calcium deficiency or lack of trace elements, which can all lead to this symptom. Therefore, it is advisable to manage your diet by including eggs, lean meat, shrimp, as well as fruits like apples, bananas, and grapefruits. These foods help increase the body's calcium and contain trace elements, which can lead to significant improvements. Additionally, ensure adequate sleep, avoid overworking, and do not stay up late.

What should I do if I have mouth ulcers due to excessive stomach fire?
Mouth ulcers due to excessive stomach heat are primarily caused by improper diet. For this condition, one should consume more foods and fruits that reduce stomach heat, such as apples, pears, watermelon, and grapefruit, as well as vegetables like lettuce and celery to effectively regulate stomach heat and improve symptoms. It is crucial to drink plenty of water, urinate frequently, and avoid consuming foods that increase internal heat and irritant foods to prevent exacerbating the condition. One must also ensure adequate rest, avoid excessive fatigue, particularly staying up late, and spend time in the sun to increase calcium absorption.

How to deal with insomnia and frequent dreams due to qi deficiency?
For insomnia and frequent dreaming caused by qi deficiency, it is crucial to pay more attention to rest and maintain sufficient sleep, avoiding staying up late. You can soak your feet in warm water before sleeping, as this process can accelerate the metabolism in the body and promote blood circulation, which can effectively improve the symptoms of insomnia and frequent dreaming, and also relieve some symptoms caused by qi deficiency. Alternatively, acupuncture under the guidance of a qualified physician can also achieve good relief, or you can eat more qi-nourishing foods in your daily diet.
