Welcome to Chinese medicine. :) This formula is actually more warm than cool, but the sensations of heat or hot flashes arise not from internal heat, but a deficiency of cooling mechanisms in the body. When we warm up some organs, the body’s ability to regulate the fluid metabolism is improved, leading to better regulation of the cooling mechanisms (such as fluids) in the body.
