哟，你学得真快啊。不过要先搞清火的类型，然后才可以有针对性地去火。比如我刚刚说的心火。如果心火太旺，就会心烦、失眠、口舌生疮什么的。这个时候，用莲子清火，效果特别好。

Whoa, you learn fast. But first you have to figure out the type of internal heat before you can use the appropriate medicine. For example, think of the heart fire I just mentioned. If you have too much fire in your heart, you will feel annoyed, you'll be insomniac, and you'll get sores on your tongue. At times like this, you get really good results from using lotus seeds to get rid of internal heat.

I think what you have is fire in the stomach. Look at what you like to eat and drink. Every day you eat a lot of fish and meat. And you like to eat painfully hot and stimulating food. Who knows how much heat has accumulated in your body. You'd better eat some more things that clear out your internal heat. The bitter melon you just mentioned is excellent. During the summer, you can drink a little more iced tea.
