Among the five internal organs of the human body, the liver governs the release of qi, which leads to happiness. If the mood is not carefree, the liver qi is stagnant and the blood can't run, there will be blood stasis in the pulse, and it will hurt if it doesn't work. The liver meridian runs through the ribs and passes through the breast, so women with poor liver qi are prone to tingling, dysmenorrhea and breast diseases on both sides.
Another point is that qi controls blood. Sometimes women will have uterine bleeding, also known as functional uterine bleeding, and menstruation will last for more than ten days or longer. The liver stores blood, and the spleen controls blood. This situation must be liver qi or spleen qi deficiency, unable to collect blood.
If a woman wants to keep good blood, she can't let the qi dissipate at will. This needs to start with the little things in life, such as avoiding talking constantly. Teachers, marketers, broadcasters and other industries, it is best to drink some refreshing tea often. But that doesn't mean you can't talk. Women love to chat and nag. This is an emotional catharsis, which is good for your physical and mental health. It's no good not talking all day. What is emphasized here is a habit and method of resting and benefiting qi, which is conducive to enriching blood for female friends.
As early as the Jin Dynasty, James, a famous medical scientist, put forward the view that "talking too much hurts the spirit" in Proverbs of Provincial Words. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that pronunciation originates from the lung, roots in the kidney, and also governs the gods because of the heart. The expression of management language has the saying that "what you say must be done". Therefore, too much language will not only damage the lungs and kidneys, but also consume the mind. Therefore, talking less about trivial matters at home and at work and interfering less with children's lives are not only conducive to the harmony between the two sides, but also to their own health.
Not only that, but also "save your words" when eating. If you talk and laugh while eating, food can easily be sucked into the trachea or foreign bodies into the esophagus. Don't talk much before going to bed. Chatting after lying down will make people excited, active in thinking and difficult to fall asleep. Therefore, there is also an old saying that "food does not speak, sleep does not speak".
Chinese medicine also advocates "keep your mouth shut when urinating." This is because defecation requires hard work, and then opening your mouth will increase the consumption of healthy qi. If there is constipation, forced defecation will also significantly increase blood pressure. At this time, the emotional excitement caused by talking or talking will increase blood pressure more obviously and may even induce cerebrovascular accidents.
However, advocating "saving Chinese characters" is not "banning Chinese characters". Give vent to what you should say, but remember not to overdo it.
Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, once put forward that "more words and less gas", asking people not to talk too much, thinking that less words can nourish the gas in the human body, otherwise it will dissipate. It means that if people talk too much, they will easily consume gas and hurt yin, causing fatigue and insomnia. But why do words have an impact on "Qi"? Is there any way to remedy the "qi deficiency" of the elderly?
If you talk too much, be careful to aggravate "qi deficiency"
Experts say that people say that "talking too much leads to fatigue" because talking loudly often is a very tiring behavior. Chinese medicine believes that the lung is a place for gas exchange in the human body. Inhale is full, exhale is empty, and lung qi drops below. But the sound comes from the encouragement of qi, which is opposite to the downward direction. Therefore, if you say one more word, you will consume a little more gas. Over time, you will form "qi deficiency".
"The syndrome of qi deficiency clinically refers to both lung qi deficiency and spleen deficiency, or both lung and spleen deficiency. Therefore, people with' qi deficiency' will not only have symptoms of' lung qi deficiency' such as fatigue, shortness of breath and laziness, but also have symptoms of' spleen deficiency' such as decreased digestive function and loss of appetite. " Experts said, "Long-term' qi deficiency' of the elderly will cause' deficiency of both qi and yin' for a long time, and problems such as gastrointestinal discomfort, constipation and soreness of the waist and knees will occur."
Silent and healthy
Silence is also a good way to keep healthy. Silence doesn't mean that you can't talk, but talking all day is easy for the already weak old man, which is not conducive to invigorating qi. In addition, the elderly with "qi deficiency" can also refer to the following methods to achieve the effect of benefiting qi and nourishing yin.
Swallow body fluids
First, shut up and knock 36 times. Then extend your tongue to the tooth surface and make a circular motion clockwise. Don't swallow the saliva produced in the process. Then rinse the body fluids in your mouth with a roller and stir your cheeks and cheeks 36 times like gargling, but don't swallow at this time. Finally, the body fluid in the mouth is slowly swallowed three times, which can play the role of benefiting qi, nourishing yin and moistening lung.
Traditional Chinese medicine conditioning
Elderly people with deficiency of both qi and yin can take Dangshen 10g, Ophiopogon japonicus 15g and Schisandra chinensis 5g every day, which can play the role of benefiting qi and promoting fluid production. For the elderly with weak constitution, Codonopsis pilosula can be changed into red ginseng, 5 ~ 10g each time. For the elderly with high blood pressure and strong constitution, Codonopsis pilosula can be replaced with American ginseng to enhance the function of nourishing yin.
In addition, Radix Scrophulariae, Radix Rehmanniae, Radix Ophiopogonis, Herba Dendrobii, Pollen, Rhizoma Anemarrhenae 15g can be decocted in water to relieve the problem of dry mouth and hot tongue.
