Traditional Chinese medicine believes that
1. Numbness: It means that Qi can come through, but blood cannot.
2. Wood: The numbness is so severe that even the blood and Qi cannot get through the wood.
3. Acidity: It indicates that the meridians are open, but Qi and blood are insufficient.
4. Bloating: It means that there is a lot of qi. This kind of people have an angry constitution. If the qi in the body cannot get out, they will be bloated.
5. Pain: Simple pain is caused by blood stasis.
6. Itching: It means that Qi and blood are coming over, and the wound will be itchy when it heals. But this is not the same as feeling itchy all over your body.
1. Pain
This is the most common discomfort we encounter. So what's the pain? How is it different from "pain"? Let’s first take a look at how Chinese characters are interpreted?
Let’s take a look at the structure first. It hurts, next to the word "sickness" on the outside, but next to the word "winter" on the inside. How to understand it? Chinese characters are all hieroglyphics, and each word has a profound meaning.
Winter must be related to winter and cold, and next to the word sick, it means excessive cold. " Huangdi Neijing " explains it this way: "If the cold exceeds the heat, the bones will ache and the flesh will wither. -" Lingshu Jing . The True Evil of Thorn Festival"" So what does this mean?
Exceeding the heat leads to pain in the bones and tightness in the flesh. This feeling can be described by the idiom "bitter cold wind". Therefore, it can be understood as the feeling of physical discomfort caused by excessive cold.
Traditional Chinese medicine has the therapy of "heating the cold, treating the cold with heat". Therefore, our usual approach to pain is to avoid wind and cold , and at the same time, if there is discomfort caused by cold, use heat to resolve it.
Usually, the diseases that cause pain are mainly trauma, frostbite, wind-cold, cold,, etc., most of which are related to cold. 2. Pain
Let’s take a look at the glyph structure first. "Pain" is next to the word "illness", and inside is the word "甬", "甬", what does it mean, it means road. This way we can understand the word pain, which is caused by the road being blocked.
So what is this path? We can understand it as meridians, and all related blood vessels , lymph and other various channels. Many girls have the problem of dysmenorrhea . This part is mostly due to cold, which causes the meridians to be blocked and the menstrual blood to not flow smoothly.
The solution is to clear the road. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "when there is pain, there is no pain; when there is pain, there is no pain." This is the truth.
3. Itch
In ancient Chinese characters, "sheep" and "yang" are connected. In traditional Chinese medicine, Yang is closely related to human life. Those who gain Yang will live, those who lose Yang will die. So what does it mean when Yang is in the middle of the disease?
Yang Qi is sick and blocked. Therefore, I understand that itch is actually a critical state of "pain and health".
Under what circumstances does the human body feel itchy? When a wound occurs, people will feel itchy, which means that the flow of Qi and blood to the wound is hindered to a certain extent and is not smooth. When the human body changes from one warm current to countless warm currents, it will feel itchy.
Some people also often have itching on their backs, so someone invented this tool. So what's going on with this itchiness? In fact, it is the human body's yang energy that is pushing outward against the dampness in the body.
In the process of lifting, because the body's meridians are not very smooth, it will encounter certain resistance, so it will itch.
Many people like to use hormones for itchy skin. In fact, it cannot solve the fundamental problem, but is harmful to the human body. In fact, the human body is very interesting. When you are faced with an itch, the most favorite thing to do is scratch, and this scratching process is actually a process of dredging the meridians.
It's just that this is on the surface. The deeper and better method is scraping to let the deeper cold and dampness come out. If it used to be painful but now it is itchy, it actually means that your body is changing for the better.
On the contrary, if it turns out to be itchy and then becomes painful, it means that it has changed to a bad direction. 4. Sour
The left side of the word "acid" is a unitary element, and the right side is "夋" qūn. Unity, in heavenly stems and earthly branches , corresponds to 17-19 o'clock, which happens to be the duty of kidney meridian . The word "勋" means: "walking slowly".
Therefore, in the human body, it can basically be understood as kidney deficiency .
Where is the most prone to soreness in our body? It’s the waist, right? In Chinese medicine, the waist is the home of the kidneys. Therefore, the main cause of backache is kidney deficiency and slow metabolism of our body.
Another situation is that after we climb a mountain, our legs are easily sore. In fact, this is also the result of the accumulation of lactic acid in the blood of the body, which is difficult to metabolize. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney controls bone, marrow, and hematopoiesis, so it is still related to kidney deficiency.
I think that soreness, like itching, is also a critical state of the body. At best, it means health; at worst, it may be pain. For acid, the solution is heating and accelerating, hot compress and massage, which are very effective in relieving acid.
At the same time, wolfberry is also a good product for strengthening the kidneys. In short, strengthening your kidneys is the fundamental solution to acidity. Because you rarely hear children say that their backs are sore. Because all of them are full of kidney qi .
5. Bloat
Bloat means the side of the flesh month + a long word. How to understand it? Mainly refers to the abnormal expansion of muscle tissue. It basically agrees with swelling. Swelling is mainly manifested on the appearance; swelling is often invisible on the outside.
There are many reasons for swelling. Externally, it may be inflammation caused by trauma, or binding may cause qi and blood to be blocked. In fact, most of them are caused by blocked pipes, causing problems with the body's metabolism. What
needs to do is to dredge the meridians and resolve blockages. 6. Ma
Ma is also a kind of morbid condition. There is a forest next to the word disease. How to explain this word? When do we feel numb? Is it possible that after the limbs are pressed for too long, the supply of Qi and blood is insufficient, causing the body to feel uncomfortable?
What does that have to do with "Lin"?
I have never found the exact answer. The only way to understand it is that the word "Lin" is a knowing word. From Ermu. Indicates a cluster of trees. Original meaning: clusters of trees or bamboo . So in Chinese medicine, what is the main wood?
The liver stores blood and controls wood. Therefore, if the liver blood gathers normally, that’s good. The key is to add the word "disease" next to it, indicating that it is an abnormal gathering. The solution to numbness is also very simple, relieve this abnormal pressure.
This kind of pressure may be external or internal. People with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are prone to numbness in their limbs, which is mainly caused by abnormal accumulation of liver blood in human organs and tissues.
7. Fatigue
Fatigue is also a skin word next to the word "disease". The doctrine of tired word: slack, lack of energy. In traditional Chinese medicine, the skin is controlled by the lungs. In traditional Chinese medicine, the lungs are responsible for dispersing and distributing blood, and are the organs of the prime minister.
Fatigue manifests itself externally, such as weakness, which can be seen and touched.
8. Lack
The main meaning of the word "lack" is lack and incompetence. What's missing? Of course it's a lack of Qi and blood. Different from fatigue, fatigue is mostly an internal feeling in the body. For example, we can say: "I am very tired today." This is an inner feeling, but we cannot say, "I am very tired today."
If I say I am tired, it means that my body cannot be energetic from the outside to the inside. Fatigue and fatigue are related to our lack of Qi and blood. The solution requires comprehensive conditioning. This is relatively serious compared to the various symptoms we mentioned earlier.
In short, the human body and various discomfort symptoms can be roughly understood from the composition of Chinese characters. Basically, they are associated with the word "disease". And it is mostly related to the blockage of meridians caused by cold and trauma.
Therefore, it is self-evident that the "Huangdi Neijing" emphasizes meridians.
