Health care of five elements and five internal organs in traditional Chinese medicine
Explain the mutual restriction between the five internal organs with the five elements: If the heart belongs to fire and the kidney belongs to water, water can control the fire, that is, kidney can restrict the heart fire and kidney can help the heart, so it can prevent the heart fire from flourishing. Lung belongs to gold, heart belongs to fire, and fire can kill gold, that is, heart fire can restrict lung gold, such as yang heat of heart fire, which can inhibit lung qi from being too clear. Liver belongs to wood, lung belongs to gold, and Jin Kemu, that is, lung gold can restrict liver wood, while excessive lung qi can inhibit hyperactivity of liver yang. Spleen belongs to soil and liver belongs to wood, indicating that liver wood can restrict spleen soil. If the liver qi is excessive, it can relieve the stagnation of temper. Kidney belongs to water and spleen belongs to soil, which means that spleen soil can restrict the transport and transformation of kidney water, such as spleen soil, to prevent kidney water from flooding. This mutual restriction between the five zang-organs can be explained by the theory of mutual restraint of the five elements.
1, the nose is the official of the lung.
The shape of the nose is mainly stomach gas, and the nostrils are mainly lung gas, so the lungs begin to understand the nose, and the nose is the official of the lung. As long as a person's lungs are sick, they will first appear on the nose. The nose mentioned here mainly refers to the inside of the nostrils, and lung heat causes the nostrils to exhaust thick heat; Cold lung chills nostrils. For example, if a person has lung disease, he will have symptoms of wheezing and nasal distension.
2, the eye is the official of the liver
When the liver begins to understand the eyes, liver diseases will appear in the eyes. People with liver disease usually have blue eyes. If the child is frightened, blue veins or bruises often appear on the bridge of the nose, which is also related to the liver.
In the combination of five colors and five zang-organs in TCM, the liver governs cyan. This cyan is not the green grass we usually see, but a pale color. The liver is born of kidney water, and the color of pale is a transitional color between black and cyan. By the way, a problem: if people don't keep in good health in winter, they won't grow up in spring and get sick. Therefore, understanding the corresponding relationship between color and viscera is beneficial to health care, and you can judge your physical condition by observing the change of complexion.
3. The lips are the official of the spleen.
The spleen opens its mouth, and the lips are the official of the spleen. People with spleen diseases will have symptoms such as yellow lips or yellow lips, peeling lips, bleeding, etc. These are all caused by excessive dryness and fire in Yangming.
4. The tongue is the official of the heart
The tongue is the official of the heart. When the heart is sick, there are usually symptoms such as tongue inflexibility and tongue bending. A slip of the tongue, often saying the wrong thing, is also a sign of weakness.
In Huangdi Neijing, there are people with heart disease, tongue rolling and red cheekbones. Blushing of cheekbones means that if the heart is sick, this part of the cheekbones will be red. Besides cheekbones, we should also pay attention to Tang Yin in our daily life, because heart disease will also show up in Tang Yin. Tang Yin is between his eyebrows. If it suddenly turns red here, the pattern is like snuff, which is a sign that the mind will be scattered. We should be very careful. What's this called? Are luck and misfortune at a critical juncture? There may be a serious illness. It is not a good thing that Tang Yin is black. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it is equivalent to water and gas, that is, too much kidney water and too weak heart fire. As soon as the kidney water comes up, the function of heart fire can't be played out. This is also a very dangerous signal. We should be careful about the color changes in Tang Yin in our daily life.
5. The ear is the official of the kidney.
The ear is the official of the kidney. Any disease of the ear is related to the kidney. Is it in Huangdi Neijing? The kidneys are open to the ears? Statement. Patients with kidney disease will have symptoms of deafness and tinnitus.
The five senses can be distinguished by five flavors, five colors and five tones. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the five senses are closely related to the viscera. By understanding the pathological changes of the five internal organs, we can find the pathological changes of the five internal organs hidden in the body, so we should always pay attention to the changes of the five internal organs in order to pay attention to the related five internal organs.
Specific to the five senses of health care methods, very simple: often close your eyes to rest; Talk less and nourish your heart; Breathe smoothly and moisten the lungs; Eat more delicious food and raise your mouth; Don't make trouble, don't listen to indecent assault, and erect your ears.
