熱氣

[Claw]

What exactly is 熱氣 and how can you tell what kinds of food are 熱氣?

[skylee]

All deep fried food is 熱氣. Lychee is extremely 熱氣 (or should it be 濕熱 instead?).

is 热气=上火? i dont hear 热气 that often.

if that was 上火, then 橘子 is one of them, and 梨 is the opposite.

what tastes bitter is supposed to be something can 败火.

I'm not sure... I just know 熱氣 from a Cantonese context. My parents always say don't eat this-or-that because it's too 熱氣.

I know that fried foods are 熱氣, but the term originates from Chinese medicine. What exactly does it mean?

Hi everybody,

I wonder if you could slightly check the web site bleow, I am sure you will understand more about "上火" and "热气".

Actually westerners have their own remedy against symptoms of 熱氣. Their equivalence of 涼茶 is cranberry juice.
