What is yeet hay?

Yeet hay is the Cantonese idea of feeling too heaty: an internal imbalance often linked to rich, fried, spicy, alcoholic, or caffeinated foods. People commonly use it to explain patterns like a scratchy throat, mouth ulcers, breakouts, thirst, or feeling run down.

It is not a formal diagnosis, but it overlaps with practical health basics: hydration, sleep, stress, digestion, and how your body responds to inflammatory or stimulating foods.
