However, in real life, this kind of people, but often because eating meat alone may be a disease. This disease is called emaciation in traditional Chinese medicine, and the pathogenesis is spleen deficiency!
Losing weight refers to reducing muscle fat, which is mainly related to the spleen and stomach, because the spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow and the source of qi and blood biochemistry. Spleen governs muscles, and weakness of spleen and stomach leads to diet that is not skin, so it is thin. For example, "Fourteen Difficult Classics" said: "Three damaged muscles, exhausted. Diet can't be skin. " Muscle is nourished by spleen, so emaciation is an external reflection of abnormal function of spleen and stomach.
In addition, lack of qi and blood, lost in Yang Rong; Yin deficiency and fire flourishing, dark burning and erosion; Stomach heat is flourishing, eliminating hunger; Excessive liver fire and dark consumption of camp; Or insects pile up to eat, and the body is malnourished; Or kidney yang deficiency, qi deficiency, etc. Can cause emaciation, nothing more than two aspects: nutrient loss or excessive consumption.
Emaciation is closely related to the normal function of viscera and the source of essence, qi, body fluid and blood. Therefore, emaciation is also a warning whistle to predict diseases.
Significance of clinical prediction of emaciation signs 1. Emaciation is a sign of malnutrition.
Deficiency syndrome is a summary of comprehensive pathological changes such as qi deficiency, deficiency of essence and qi, and low viscera function. The causes are congenital deficiency, thin or weak five zang-organs, internal injury of qi and blood, or acquired malnutrition, loss of both yin and yang, or excessive physical and mental damage to five zang-organs. It is always related to the loss of spleen and kidney for two days. In short, no matter whether the source is inferior or the loss is too high, it is manifested as insufficient blood and loss of the whole body.
The degree of emaciation is marked by the degree of emaciation, which is only in the face, and the bone is dead and the meat is trapped. For example, Yu Suwen's "Dirty Theory of Market Towns" said, "The bones are dry and the meat is trapped ...? If you take off the meat, your eyes will sag, and you will really hide. You will die if you can't see anyone. " It shows that emaciation is a witness of physical detachment and an important symbol of virtual loss.
Second, emaciation is a sign that there is a latent fire in your heart.
Fire refers to fire caused by deficiency of viscera, which is the inevitable development of yin deficiency, and also includes fire caused by pathogenic factors or qi stagnation, mainly fire caused by kidney yin deficiency, dark fire caused by liver depression, stomach fire caused by spleen yin deficiency, or internal heat accumulation fire. Because the internal fire dissipates, it gradually dissipates, so emaciation is an important signal of internal fire.
Modern medicine believes that emaciation is often the main sign of endocrine diseases, such as hyperthyroidism with vigorous metabolism and excessive consumption, hypoendocrine, hypometabolism, hypoadrenocortical function and pituitary function, such as Addison's disease and Sheehan's syndrome. All of them showed obvious progressive wasting.
The emaciation caused by internal fire has its own characteristics. The emaciation caused by internal fire is often accompanied by hot flashes, night sweats, nervous fever, dizziness and irritability, while the emaciation caused by internal fire is accompanied by sallow complexion, dull and empty complexion, mental fatigue, cold limbs and abdominal distension and loose stool. The former is mostly caused by yin deficiency of liver and kidney, while the latter is mostly caused by yang deficiency of spleen and kidney. However, they are all characterized by reduced body consumption and muscle loss. In a word, the main reason of wasting due to deficiency fire is that deficiency fire dissipates and burns, and the dissipation of blood increases, that is, alienation is too strong, while insufficient chemical sources, passive nutrition and low assimilation are the main reasons of wasting.
Third, emaciation is a signal that turbidity and poison are hidden inside.
Due to the dysfunction of zang-fu organs, the disorder of transportation and transformation, the turbidity is coherent, which leads to emaciation, mainly turbidity and stagnation, which leads to anorexia and the gradual depletion of chemical sources. Among them, Guan Ge (such as uremia), jaundice (such as cirrhosis, acidosis), diabetes (such as ketosis) and other diseases all showed obvious emaciation in the later stage. In addition, some diseases, such as fatigue, rickets, syphilis, leprosy and so on. Because of the absorption and accelerated consumption of toxins, wasting is often a sign of turbidity and toxicity of toxins.
Malignant tumors tend to develop imperceptibly, and early symptoms are difficult to find, but when cachexia causes emaciation, it is already a bad omen in the late stage.
As for emaciation caused by depression (including anorexia nervosa), it is easy to lead to vicious circle and metabolic disorder, so it should not be underestimated.
In fact, Chinese medicine treatment of emaciation, spleen deficiency, syndrome differentiation and treatment, physical conditioning, one hundred days of treatment, calm treatment is king!
