In " Huangdi Neijing", the concept of five realities and five deficiencies is mentioned. Both of these conditions can cause serious illnesses in the human body. It includes "prosperous pulse, skin heat, abdominal distension, front and back obstruction, stuffiness, This is called the five realities. The pulse is thin, the skin is cold, the qi is low, before and after the benefit, the diet is inaccessible, this is called the five deficiency", because the five realities and the five deficiency happen to be two relative situations, we choose one of them to analyze , Talk about why people with "five deficiencies" are prone to major diseases.
"Thin pulse, cold skin, low qi, before and after venting benefits, inadequate diet", these are the five conditions of human body's pulse condition, skin temperature, breath, two stools, appetite, etc. .
"Thin pulse"—— blood deficiency
The narrow pulse means that the human body is weak in blood and cannot fill the vessel . The blood of the human body is transformed from the spleen and stomach by absorbing the qi from water and valleys. As stated in the "Huangdi Neijing", " 中焦 takes juice from qi and changes and becomes red. It is called blood." The spleen and stomach are full of energy. , It can transform the fine grains of water into the blood needed by the human body, through the pumping of the heart and the transmission of the vasculature, thereby nourishing the body tissues of the human body; There will be blood deficiency, and the pulse can't fill up. In addition to thin pulses, you can also see symptoms such as , pale complexion, numbness of hands and feet, fatigue and fatigue. "The liver can be seen by blood, the feet can be walked by blood, the palm can be held by blood, and the fingers can be taken by blood." Disease. When this happens, traditional Chinese medicine often promotes the recovery of qi and blood in the human body by replenishing qi and promoting blood. Commonly known prescriptions include Guipi Decoction , Siwu Decoction , Danggui Buxue Decoction and so on.In the usual diet therapy, you can choose red dates, ginger, Codonopsis and other medicinal materials with nourishing qi and blood to emphasize the rationale.
"skin cold"—— yang deficiency
"skin cold" refers to a symptom of low skin temperature of the human body. It can make the patient feel afraid of cold all over, and can also make the doctor pass The method of palpation senses that the patient's skin temperature is low. This is a manifestation of the human body's yang deficiency, which cannot warm the skin and promote the circulation of qi and blood! Ming Dynasty famous Chinese physician Zhang Jingyue said, "The great treasure of the sky, there is only this red sun. The great treasure of man, only one breath The sun can warm and grow everything. "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" also reveals the relationship between yang qi and human life span. "A person with yang qi, if the sky and the sun lose their place, will lose their life, so the destiny should be bright with the sun. It is the old yang that rises. Those outside the guard are also". What this means is that once the human body loses the warmth and impetus of Yang Qi, just like the sun in nature, there will be no vitality for the growth of all things, and the health of the human body will be greatly threatened. Only when the human body protects its own yang qi and the peripheral guard is more abundant, it can better resist the invasion of external evils. If the yang qi is weak and the external qi of the guard is insufficient, wind, cold and dampness are more likely to invade the human body, causing various rheumatoid diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, dermatomyositis, etc., and even exogenous pathogens Deficiency of Yang Qi is introduced into the body, causing more serious diseases of the internal organs.
When conditions such as "cold skin" occur, pay special attention to avoiding cold foods, such as fruits, milk, seafood, etc., which may increase the damage of Yang Qi. At this time, you can choose some warm and nourishing ingredients, such as ginger, angelica, mutton, etc., which have the effect of nourishing yang.
"Less Qi"—— Lung Qi deficiency
"Lung Qi" is a description of the human body's "lung qi" deficiency.In the "Huangdi Nei Jing", it is described that "all qi belong to the lung", and "the lung is the root of qi". Qi is an important substance that human life depends on for survival, and it is responsible for the lungs. The lung is in charge of breathing air and the whole body air of the human body. It inhales the clear air of nature and merges the subtle air of water and valley absorbed by the spleen and stomach into one air to form "Zong Qi", which promotes the operation of breathing and Qi and blood. When “lack of breath” Lung Qi is insufficient, it will not only cause weakening of respiratory function, but also affect the generation and operation of qi, cough and wheezing will appear, shortness of breath is not enough to breathe, and movement will be aggravated, voice is low, and fatigue Weakness, chest tightness, abdominal distension, and other symptoms of air-mechanical blockage can also occur. The human body can also cause poor health due to lung qi deficiency, resulting in spontaneous sweating, fear of wind, easy colds and other symptoms of decreased immunity. There are many famous prescriptions in Chinese medicine that can treat this kind of situation, such as Yupingfeng San , Buzhong Yiqi Decoction and so on.
"Before and after relieving benefits" and "diet inadequate"- insufficient kidney qi
"Before and after relieving benefits" and "diet inadequate", reflecting the human , kidney qi and spleen and stomach function Obviously out of balance. In Chinese medicine theory, the second is that the spleen and kidney are in charge. The kidney is in charge of the metabolism of human body water. The gasification of kidney yang and the transportation of yang qi in the spleen and stomach complete the process of water metabolism together, so that no excess water gas is produced in the body, and it will not cause loose stools and diarrhea. Frequent urination, incontinence, etc. The normal movement of the spleen and stomach can allow a person to eat and drink normally, and the body can absorb enough subtleties to provide sufficient nutrients for the normal functioning of the internal organs.
In fact, every symptom that appears in the body reflects the pathological state that may be hidden behind the body. This pathological state can be mild or severe, but when it affects the functions of the internal organs, it is often more serious. Therefore, we must pay more attention to the "signals" sent by the body and take timely preventive measures.Only when the disease is treated early can the occurrence of serious illnesses be avoided.
