Two weeks ago, an elder sister came to me and said that her child has been complaining recently that her memory has declined, she can't sleep at night, she has no energy in class during the day, and her simulation scores have dropped. She will take the college entrance examination next year, and the situation is not optimistic. The whole family is following I got angry and asked me what to do.
I told her that our traditional Chinese medicine believes that the heart governs the mind, and the main reason for memory loss is lack of heart blood . Insomnia at night is also because the mind is disturbed and cannot return home.
Under normal circumstances, heart-blood deficiency will be accompanied by kidney-related problems, because the ascending kidney water nourishes the mind, and the descending heart fire warms the kidney water. Only when the heart fire and kidney water blend with each other can the yin and yang in the body be balanced.
And the kidney governs the will, what is the will? A scholar's ambition is to focus on one thing and become a long-term ambition.
When a person suffers from heart and kidney disharmony , his ambitions will be wavered, his goals will be unclear, his mind will be insufficient, and his attention will not be focused. At the same time, due to heart and kidney deficiency, the hands, feet, and soles are prone to sweating, and spontaneous sweating or night sweats may occur at night.
After listening to this, the elder sister suddenly realized that the child did have sweaty palms and night sweats while sleeping. Before, she thought the child was nervous, but it turned out that these symptoms were related.
I told my elder sister that the characteristic of our traditional Chinese medicine is the holistic view, because the human body is an organic whole. Pathological changes in a certain part of the human body are often related to changes in the organs, qi, and blood of the whole body, and will also be manifested in other related places. "There is everything inside and everything outside" is what it means.
What good methods does traditional Chinese medicine have for treating inability to concentrate and memory loss?
my country's Tang Dynasty great doctor Sun Simiao has a prescription specifically for the treatment of memory loss in his book "Essential Prescriptions for Emergencies", which is called "Confucius The Great Sage Zhizhen Chinese Prescription", which is what we now call The " Kong Sheng Zhong Dan ".
"Confucius" is the honorific title given to Confucius, and "Zhenzhong Dan" is a secret elixir. Because the Pill Pill prescription can prolong life, relieve illness, and make people smarter, but its prescription is also regarded as the "pillow secret".
No one can know it, but only Confucius can know it. Therefore, it is also known as "The Great Sage Confucius Knows the Pillow Chinese Prescription" in "Essential Prescriptions for Emergencies".
Sage Confucius is a famous educator in the history of our country. It is said that Confucius was gifted with intelligence since childhood and had the ability to remember photographs. This method is named after Confucianism Sage Confucius had a secret treasure in his pillow. One said it was precious, and the other hinted that it was helpful. Reading aids students.
The original text of " Thousand Gold Prescriptions " only says that "regular consumption can make people greatly intelligent". Wu Kun's "Medical Prescriptions: Confucius Great Sage Pillow Chinese Prescriptions" of the Ming Dynasty specifically pointed out that it should be taken by scholars: " Knowledge is easy to forget, and this prescription is used to make it more effective." People are smart. ”
The composition of Kongsheng Zhongdan is very simple. It only has four herbs:
Turtle plate, raw keel, Polygala , Acorus and grind them into fine powder, sieve and store for later use.
Take it every morning and evening, 3 grams each time. You can also take the powder in capsules.
Let’s analyze the composition of this recipe.
1. Turtle plate
Turtle plate is the shell of a turtle. Turtles live in water and are quiet by nature. Quietness is Yin. The ancients found in their observations that tortoises like to retract their heads into their abdominal cavities. The abdomen belongs to yin and has the Ren meridian passing through it, so the tortoise shell nourishes yin.
Yin can control yang, so turtle shell can treat fever due to yin deficiency , and its texture is heavy and sinks when it enters water, so it can cure yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity disease.
Many candidates are in adolescence. One of the characteristics of adolescence is that the yin is often insufficient and the yang is often excessive. In addition, if you stay up late studying hard, eat something spicy, and then indulge in lust, it is easy for deficiency to cause inflammation , resulting in acne at night Night sweats during sleep, restlessness, etc., will all affect learning.
Turtle Board This medicine has a very good effect in nourishing yin. It is very good to use yin to restrict deficiency fire .
2. Keel bones
Keel bones are fossils of ancient large mammal bones. The bones are originally heavy, and they become even heavier when they evolve into stone. It can calm down panic, so it can be used to treat restlessness, palpitations, and epilepsy.
Keel is sticky and astringent. If you lick it with your tongue, you will feel a tongue sucking sensation, indicating that it has astringent function.
Specifically, it can absorb the mind and keep it from being distracted. It can absorb liver fire and liver yang, so that liver fire and liver yang will not become excessive. Likewise, its astringent power can be used to collect the essence of the human body so that it does not leak out.
Dragon bone calms the mind and has a very good sleeping effect. Many candidates always have trouble sleeping due to high study pressure, resulting in lack of concentration during the day, so using dragon bone to calm the mind has a good sleep aid effect.
3. Polygala
Polygala contains high will and high aspirations, which is very suitable for candidates with high ambitions. Polygala grows in high and deep mountains, hence its name.
Polygala has thin and far-reaching roots, symbolizing a smooth and far-reaching mind. The smell of Polygala Polygala is pungent and rich, and it can stimulate the mind and resolve phlegm. What is the reason for forgetfulness? It is because phlegm blocks the orifices of the mind, and Polygala can dissolve phlegm and open the orifices, so it can enhance memory.
Polygala can also communicate with the heart and kidneys, causing the kidney water to rise and the heart fire to descend. In this way, the heart and kidneys intersect and fall asleep quickly. Many adolescent children have trouble sleeping due to heart-kidney disharmony. Polygala can help candidates get a good night's sleep.
4. Acorus
Acorus is the rhizome of the Araceae plant Acorus calamus. It likes to grow in moist places and has a very fragrant smell. It is refreshing to smell it.
Calamus can resolve phlegm and dampness and directly open the orifices. Make your eyes bright, your ears clear, your nose clear, and more importantly, your mind clear.
Taking this recipe has three major benefits: first, it enhances memory; second, it calms the mind and helps sleep; third, it makes the mind concentrate during the day and full of energy.
After listening to what I said, the elder sister who gave her child the Kong Sheng Pillow Pill for more than a week said that her child felt more energetic every day, slept more soundly at night, her memory improved quickly, and her academic performance also improved. It skyrocketed, and she felt that the effect was much better than health care products costing thousands of dollars.
Not only candidates can take Confucius Pillow Pill to improve their memory, but the elderly and forgetful people can also use it. The principle is the same.
