Yang energy is the driving force for the human body's life operation and is very important for health. Therefore, "if there is yang, you will be born, and if there is no yang, you will die." The operation of yang energy inside the human body follows a set of precise steps and links, and follows the operating rules of yang energy, so that the human body can live a healthy and long life. In this chapter, we explore the operating state of yang energy in the human body, especially how the human body stores yang energy to ensure the normal operation of yang energy.
The Light of Life under the Sun
In the previous chapter, we talked about the four key steps and links of the human body's yang energy, namely, replenishing yang, assisting yang and promoting yang. Among them, the key to storing yang energy lies in the heart, that is, the heart stores yang. The normal storage of yang energy in the heart is an important part of ensuring the circulation of yang energy in the human body. From the perspective of yang energy, it is also the most important part.
The heart can store yang energy normally, so that the qi and blood can be promoted to operate normally and provide nutritional needs for the internal organs and tissues around the body. The abnormal function of the heart to store yang energy will cause lesions in the heart itself, and on the other hand, it will lead to chronic deficiency throughout the body.
What changes will happen if the heart yang energy is abnormal?
- First, the heart yang energy is insufficient. This deficiency can be divided into two types, or the body's yang energy is insufficient, and the yang energy cannot be stored in the heart, or the cold evil invades the heart meridian, resulting in excessive yang energy loss in the heart, thus causing the heart's yang energy to be absolutely insufficient. In this case, we either use methods to nourish kidney yang or use methods to warm yang and drive away cold to achieve the purpose of restoring the yang energy of the heart. In the Zhuangcaohuitong theoretical system, Aconitu Chishizhi Pills are the main prescription for removing the cold air of the heart meridian.
- Second, the heart yang energy is too strong. In the process of the heart yang energy, this excessive excess is mostly due to excessive evil heat, which can be divided into deficiency and excess. The so-called solid refers to the excessive evil heat of the small intestine meridian that is external to the heart, which leads to excessive yang energy of the heart. This type of evil heat can be treated with prescriptions such as Daochi San. The so-called deficiency mainly refers to the deficiency of the kidney yin and cannot control yang. The yang energy is excessive in the heart, which is called deficiency fire. This kind of evil heat is too strong and requires the fire to return to the original state, such as Yinhuo Decoction or Qianyang Dan.
The heart stores yang energy dysfunction and is divided into two types: deficiency and excess. Each type is then divided into deficiency and excess. Heart yang deficiency, cold evil invasion, heart meridian fire and heat, upper heat and lower cold, a total of four types. These four types of heart dysfunction in yang storage, corresponding to therapeutic prescriptions.

In the process of treating dysfunction of the heart yang qi, we need to pay attention to four issues. First, the heart and gallbladder are connected, and it is easy to cause internal wind to disturb the body while replenishing yang. Therefore, wind-extinguishing drugs are needed to prevent the occurrence of diaper symptoms. Second, the yang energy is blocked, especially the disease course is long, which is prone to meridian blockage, so it is necessary to add medicines to promote normal circulation of yang energy. Third, the heart's yang energy is prone to excessive, so in the process of replenishing yang, pay attention to adding drugs that are important to calm the mind to treat excessive yang energy. Fourth, to replenish yang, we should generally pay attention to the balance of yin and yang, especially to regulate the balance of the Shaoyin system. Therefore, yin-tonifying drugs and blood-activating and blood-removing and stasis-removing drugs should be used in moderation.
The rise and fall of Yang Qi, especially the heart's yang hiding function, is closely related to our health. Do you understand the question of how to regulate the Yang Qi of the human body, especially how the Yang Qi of the human body is hidden?
