It is easy to get angry at the end of the year, so always have a prescription to reduce fire

Easy Fire-Reducing Home Remedies for Year-End Fatigue

The year-end rush often brings stress, irregular meals, and late nights, leaving many prone to "internal heat"—symptoms like sore throats, acne, and canker sores. Instead of reaching for cold medicines, turn to these simple, nourishing food remedies to cool your body naturally.

Start with mung bean soup, a classic fire-reducing staple. Simmer 50g of mung beans with 1 liter of water for 30 minutes until soft. Add a pinch of rock sugar for taste. Mung beans are known to clear heat and detoxify, making them ideal for inflammation relief.

For a lighter option, try chrysanthemum tea with honey. Steep 10g of dried chrysanthemums in hot water for 5 minutes, then stir in honey. Chrysanthemum helps soothe the liver and reduce eye strain, often worsened by screen time during busy end-of-year tasks.

Another effective remedy is pear and lily bulb soup. Poach 1 pear (cored) with 15g of dried lily bulbs and rock sugar. Pears hydrate and moisten the lungs, while lily bulb calms coughs and irritability, perfect for dry winter weather.

Incorporate these into your daily routine—simple, natural, and effective. Stay balanced and healthy as you wrap up the year!
