? First of all, we should know what qi is. Qi is the source of material in the world, and the qi of human body is everywhere in the whole body. According to different distribution and characteristics, it can be divided into primordial qi, ancestral qi, nourishing qi, defending qi and middle qi, which are collectively called Yang Qi.
The ancients said: tangible bodies are all falling, and it depends on the application of this true qi in life to fall into life; Personal life is a word of fire, the root of qi is also fire, and it is this qi that people breathe.
Yang Qi is the true qi stored in the kidney, which is what we call vitality. People often say that being weakened means hurting Yang Qi. Huangdi Neijing said, "Yang turns into qi and Yin forms." Yang is converted into energy needed by the body, and Yin forms a visible and tangible body. If the body has no yang, it becomes an empty shell and will die.
In Huangdi Neijing, Su Wen said: "Yang is defensive and exterior is solid", which means that the human body has the ability to resist external evils, and this ability is Yang.
The ancients compared Yang to the relationship between the sky and the sun. If there is no sun in the sky, then the earth is dark and unknown, and nothing can grow. Therefore, the operation of heaven and earth must have the sun. The yang of human body must be reconciled to consolidate its protective function, otherwise it will attract the invasion of pathogenic factors.
? Huangdi Neijing said: "The sun is Yang, and if the sky and the sun lose their place, they will lose their lives." Therefore, maintaining yang qi is the basis of health care and treatment. Both human growth and aging are dominated by Yang: the generation of essence, blood and body fluid is transformed by Yang.
There are two sources of yang: one is congenital, from father and mother; The other is acquired, which is mainly transformed from the essence of Shuigu absorbed from food. However, people's normal physical operation, work, exercise, sexual life, mood swings, adaptation to temperature changes, wound repair and other activities all need to consume yang.
Yang Qi is the motive force of human body's material metabolism and physiological function, and the decisive factor of human body's reproduction, growth, development, aging and death. The normal survival of human beings needs the support of yang, as the saying goes, "those who gain yang live and those who lose it die." The stronger the yang is, the stronger the human body is.
If yang is insufficient, people will get sick. When the yang is completely exhausted, people will die. It has the functions of warming and nourishing the whole body tissues and maintaining the functions of viscera. Yang Qi deficiency will lead to the weakening and decline of physiological activities, which will lead to the decline of the body's ability to keep out the cold. "Neijing Lingshu" said: "When people reach forty, the yang is insufficient. Damage to the sun. " It means that with the increase of age, people's yang will gradually lose.
Modern people often have sub-health symptoms such as general weakness, mental fatigue, insomnia, forgetfulness and bad temper. Due to the severe pressure of work and life, or all my bad hobbies. Some women even enter menopause before the age of 40. These diseases are caused by excessive consumption of yang. So how is the yang being consumed? Because of exercise, thinking, fatigue, mental exhaustion and other factors, we unconsciously consume our yang. When sun be the spirit overdraws, life will come to an end.
The most direct manifestation of yang deficiency is that the body cannot maintain a constant temperature. Under normal circumstances, the basal body temperature drops, which leads to the slow running speed of qi and blood, the decline of material metabolism and physiological function of the body, and the production of some pathological products (such as phlegm, blood stasis, stones, etc.). ) and foreign substances (such as wind, cold, moisture, etc.). ) can't be discharged in time, and it becomes a disease due to blood stasis.
If the yang is slightly insufficient, the human body function can be basically maintained, but people will have various uncomfortable symptoms such as obesity, cold hands and feet, backache and backache. If the degree of yang deficiency is aggravated, the basal body temperature will further drop, and some old diseases, injuries or congenital defects will become more serious, which will lead to obvious physiological dysfunction in these parts, which is characterized by pathological changes in a certain part due to different blocking positions and degrees. Cancer is just blocked more. Such as hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and liver cancer, the pulse shows that the liver is blocked, but the degree of blockage is gradually deepening. Cancer can be called "severe condensation".
Moxibustion is the most effective way to supplement human yang. In the project of preventing and treating diseases with traditional Chinese medicine in cooperation with the World Health Organization, moxibustion supporting yang has a remarkable effect on preventing and treating sub-healthy people.
? According to the Heart Sutra, there are three ways to help Yang since ancient times: the first is burning mugwort, the second is Dan medicine, and the third is aconite. Burning moxa is moxibustion.
The raw material of moxibustion is wormwood. Wormwood, also known as ice platform, is produced on the sunny side of the mountain and fully absorbs the essence of the sun. This is a pure sunny plant. Wormwood contains many minerals, vitamins, protein, fat, moisture, anti-aging and anti-cancer selenium and a large number of pharmacological components. Has antiinflammatory, blood stasis removing, asthma relieving, cough relieving, and tranquilizing effects. Folium Artemisiae Argyi contains absinthe and absinthe, which has the functions of relieving fever, stopping bleeding, relieving pain and exciting central nervous system.
Moxibustion is a method to bring the medicinal properties of wormwood to the diseased part of human body through acupoints and meridians by fumigation and burning, and to eliminate pathogenic factors. Moxibustion is the only subject with comprehensive physical and pharmacological effects among the five mainstream therapies of traditional Chinese medicine. The near-infrared rays released during moxibustion have a stronger regulating effect than far-infrared rays, and can transport the effective components in moxa smoke to viscera and lesions. Therefore, moxibustion is recognized as the most effective method to tonify yang in ancient and modern times.
Besides nourishing yang, moxibustion has many noteworthy places in diet and life. For example, walking and jogging belong to "slow exercise", which can activate the meridians, qi and blood, bones and muscles of the whole body, help regulate the functions of the internal organs and promote metabolism. But pay attention to moderate exercise and don't exceed your body's endurance. Young and middle-aged people can exercise more, while the elderly are suitable for slow exercise such as walking, jogging, Tai Ji Chuan and self-massage.
"Sanyang Kaitai" comes from the Thai hexagrams in the sixty-four hexagrams in the Book of Changes. The ancients found that the day from winter solstice is the shortest, and then the day becomes longer, so they think that winter solstice is the birth of one sun, December is the birth of two suns, and the first month is the birth of three suns. Sanyang means that the yin gradually disappears, the yang gradually grows, winter goes and spring comes, and everything recovers. Kaitai means good luck and prosperity, which means good luck is coming. The rise of human yang has a similar gradual process, and human health is called "three yang qi tai", that is, exercise must yang, be good at yang, and enjoy yang.
There is a wise saying in the "Five Birds Play" written by Hua Tuo, a famous doctor in the Three Kingdoms period: "When an earthquake strikes, the grain qi disappears, and the blood circulates, the disease will not be born." As long as people move and shake, then blood circulates and all diseases are not born. People who study Wuqinxi know this sentence, but they don't know its true meaning. Shaking is the best interpretation of moving yang and rising yang.
In modern society, mental work is the main body, and most people are shaking their minds and not moving their bodies. I go to work by office, go out by bus, go home by sofa and watch TV for half a night. I sit most of the day. If you don't move, the yang will not rise and the blood will stagnate. How can I not get sick for a long time? It is our yang spirit that loses by shaking the spirit, while shaking the body can make the yang spirit rise, so if you want to be healthy, you must first let your body move.
Taoist doctors have a saying: "When the sun shines, the haze disappears." If the yang in your body is seriously insufficient and the yin is excessive, you can choose some soft and soothing traditional techniques, such as health preservation, Wuqin opera, Baduanjin and Taiji Chuan. There is a standard for exercise, that is, the heart does not beat violently, and the body sweats slightly. Excessive exercise will do harm to your health.
There are three definitions of "goodness" in the Taoist masterpiece Shen Pian: the first is good language; The second is to regard goodness, and the third is to do good.
"Good at talking" means asking us to say something encouraging, encouraging and gentle. For example, this child didn't do well in the exam this year, and he was unhappy that he didn't do well in the exam. If he is a parent who can educate his children, he will certainly not blame them, but encourage them to build confidence. Smart children are exaggerated, so that children will become smarter and smarter.
In fact, many successful people in reality grew up with the praise of their parents, relatives and friends. Inspired by this positive language, people's yang will continue to rise and their body and mind will develop in a balanced way. The ancients said that "a kind word warms three winters", which is the reason why a kind word raises the sun.
Seeing goodness is to let the eyes often see beautiful things. The famous mountains and rivers with beautiful scenery are great beauty between heaven and earth, so people who have lived in the world for a long time should often go out to see them in order to raise their eyes and adjust their mentality. The process of getting close to nature is also a process of exchanging energy with heaven and earth and nourishing yang.
Speaking of kindness, a scientist in Germany did an experiment, which proved that men can prolong their life by looking at beautiful women for 5 minutes every day 10 years, and women can also prolong their life by looking at handsome men. Therefore, when shopping, look at the beautiful and handsome men in the past and raise your eyes. I think this is also a kind of goodwill.
The eye is the window to the soul, and what it sees will in turn affect the soul. Don't always see the dark side of society and life in life, but see the positive side of everything. In this way, you can see beauty anywhere without deliberately pursuing it.
So what is doing good? In daily life, we can also see many such examples. For example, if a person pulls a load of coal or other goods in the car and can't get up when climbing a high slope, then you should give him a push. After crossing this slope, rickshaw pullers will turn around and say thank you. How do you feel at this time? You will definitely feel warm, which is the expression of the spirit of the rising sun. The act of helping others in daily life is actually doing good.
"Book of Rites. "Li Yun Pian" said: "Travel by road". Whether it is a good word or a good intention, it is to get rid of selfish desires, be open and aboveboard, and think more of others. Feeling tired and warm in my heart will also prolong my illness.
The ancients said that happiness leads to yang. Do well in life. Thinking about some happy things, watching some cheerful entertainment programs, listening to your favorite songs, reading your favorite books, and doing more things you like in your spare time can all raise your yang.
The most typical application of happiness is "Chong Xi". According to Taoist medicine, celebrating happiness is a wonderful way to improve yang. It washes away evil spirits in the body and makes it return to righteousness. People used to hold happy events to treat diseases or transport things. It is very helpful for people who have been ill for a long time or have been in poor health for many years to organize some happy events. In fact, celebrating happiness is to change the patient's physical and mental state with the help of the external environment.
In ancient times, people who were only happy but not sad were called immortals. Happiness is a great realm of life. Being able to keep a happy heart and nourish the body is more effective than taking any panacea.
Destiny is something that everyone wants to grasp and change all his life. From a medical point of view, fate has given everyone more practical significance. Strong yang can not only protect people from disease and evil, but also make people's spirit peaceful and happy, and get their wishes. Therefore, rising sun is still the best way to change fate.
Well, that's all I've arranged for you. What is Yang? Why do you want to supplement Yang? How to supplement Yang Qi? I believe that everyone has gained something after listening!
