“Constitution Check 1: Hot or Cold Nature”

 

As seen with practices like warming activities, having a higher body temperature can seem beneficial. However, it also has the aspect of being prone to retaining heat. Conversely, a lower body temperature can impact immune function. There is no definitive “good” or “bad” temperature; balance is key.

On this page, we will conduct a simple check to determine whether you tend to be “hot” or “cold” in your constitution. Some questions may not apply to you, or your answers may vary depending on your current condition. In such cases, please provide answers based on your usual average. Additionally, if you find that “neither” applies to you frequently or if you have an equal number of responses for A and B, this indicates a very good balance.
