Do you often wake up with a sore throat or feel your throat gets irritated easily?
In KL & Bukit Jalil’s air-conditioned environment, this is extremely common.

Many patients at Health Shine TCM experience:

• Recurrent sore throat

• Dry or scratchy throat

• Hoarse voice

• Throat irritation after cold drinks or air-conditioning

• Heatiness symptoms (mouth ulcers, constipation)

• Sore throat triggered by stress, late nights, or spicy food

This is not always an infection —
often it is body imbalance + heat accumulation.

 How TCM Understands Sore Throat

1 Lung Heat — Red, painful, dry throat

Caused by heat, dryness, or long hours in air-conditioning.

2 Stomach Heat — Heat rising to the throat

Spicy food, stress, late nights → stomach fire flares upward.

3 Liver Fire — Stress-related throat tightness

Stress → liver Qi stagnation → fire rises → throat discomfort.

4 Yin Deficiency — Dry, sensitive throat

Long talking, overwork, lack of sleep weaken bodily fluids.

From the practitioner

“Sore throat isn’t just ‘heatiness.’
It tells us whether your lung, liver, and stomach are well-balanced.
Once the body is restored, the throat becomes stable and healthy again.”
