When Qi is in excess, it becomes Fire. When Qi rises from the left side of the body, it is Liver Fire. When it rises from below the umbilicus, it is Yin Fire. When heat rises from the soles of the feet and enters the abdomen, it indicates extreme deficiency. Fire agitation due to Yin deficiency is difficult to treat; mild cases can be treated by descending the fire, while severe cases require subduing it according to its nature. Excess Fire can be purged, and Deficiency Fire can be tonified.

Danxi stated: For robust individuals with strong Qi, intense Fire, and mania, direct treatment can be used, or they may be given Xiaoshi (Natrii Nitras), Dahuang, and Bingwater (Ice Water).
