In the eyes of Chinese medicine, what is "vitality"? Vitality is recorded in many ancient books in China.
"On Invisibility" is recorded as follows: "People are born in heaven, and each has his own life and death ... The shape of the device has been completed and cannot be small; The human body is fixed and cannot be restored. "
It is described in Xu Ling's Encyclopedia of Fetal Medicine on the Survival of Vitality: "When a person is born, life and death are already divided. The so-called success is also full of energy. "
It can be seen that vitality is mostly predestined. If it is congenital deficiency, it needs nurture to make up for it. With the growth of age, vitality is constantly being consumed. When a person's vitality is exhausted, life is over. When the vitality in the body is insufficient, there will also be a series of problems in the body. What are the specific performances?
First, lack of motivation.
There is a saying in Chinese medicine that "healthy qi exists inside, and evil cannot be done". When the vitality of the human body is insufficient, evil spirits will easily take advantage of it and life activities will be threatened. Qi is like an engine in the human body. Once the engine is not running, it can't run. People with insufficient vitality are afraid of cold, fatigue, drowsiness, listlessness, etc. And when it is serious, it is riddled with diseases and cannot be cured for a long time.
Second, the function of various organs of the body is low.
When the internal organs lose enough vitality, organ function will be affected and various problems will occur. For example, insufficient lung function is prone to asthma and weak breathing; Deficiency of spleen function can easily lead to dysfunction of spleen and stomach transport and transformation, which is manifested as not thinking about diet, abdominal distension, diarrhea and so on.
Third, the growth and development function is affected.
Lack of vitality means that children are stunted, such as slow growth and backward physique. For adults, it is easy to get old and difficult to get pregnant.
Many people like to use ginseng to replenish their vitality. Ginseng is a precious Chinese herbal medicine, which can greatly supplement their vitality. However, in the face of lack of vitality, is it correct to use ginseng to supplement it?
Ginseng is really a good medicine for invigorating qi. For the loss of vitality caused by various reasons, taking ginseng in this pathological state can really supplement vitality and restore vitality to physiological state. But for healthy people, the decline in vitality is a normal state and there is no need to replenish vitality. At this time, eating ginseng can not play a role in replenishing vitality, but has become a burden on the body. Therefore, ginseng should not be eaten indiscriminately when it is replenishing its vitality. Only patients with real deficiency can take it under the guidance of a doctor.
Want to replenish vitality, Chinese medicine recommends moxibustion to replenish vitality, which is simple and convenient, but the effect of replenishing vitality is very good.
