Cultural Insights | What is yeet-hay/nged3-hei1 and what do you do when you are yeet-hay?

Traditional Chinese Medicine, or TCM 中醫 (jung1-yi1), includes both herbs and health and wellness practices such as Qi Gong and acupuncture. There are over 300 herbs that are common in Chinese medicinal practice. The effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine for treating different diseases is debatable, but the goal of using TCM is to regain balance in your body. An extremely common diagnosis in TCM is 熱氣 (nged3-hei1), or sometimes Romanized as yit-hei or yeet-hay in Cantonese. A very common symptom of 熱氣 (nged3-hei1) is sore throat.

In TCM, 熱氣 (nged3-hei1), which literally means “hot air” in Chinese, refers to the yin-yang imbalance of a person caused by the hot properties of food. There are some foods, such as those that have hot properties, that trigger this imbalance because excess heat in the system damages the liver. Hot food includes red and black peppers, alcohol, and any deep-fried food, which are spicy, hot, and warming. On the other hand, cool food includes peppermint, which makes you feel cooled and refreshed.

Some common remedies to treat 熱氣 (nged3-hei1) are herbal tea and soup. You can easily find herbal tea shops anywhere in Guangdong and Hong Kong. If you live overseas, you can also find them in most Chinese bakeries and in packaged form in Chinese supermarkets.
