What is the understanding of invigorating qi to supplement it?
To supplement qi deficiency, people with qi deficiency will feel tired. Tired. Doing things, walking and talking may all feel inadequate, so all of us can feel the lack of anger. Actually, it sounds mysterious. In fact, each of us can feel more or less angry.
The idea of disease prevention comes from Huangdi Neijing, which says that working can prevent diseases, so because the ancients thought life was inevitable, they should face it calmly. When it comes to disease prevention, we should start with what is a disease. Then every disease has its own process, its cause and its result. Therefore, we should find out the causal relationship between the disease and its natural course, so that we can prevent the disease. If the disease is not cured, it means preparing for the worst and preparing for the best.
In fact, when it comes to the solution to health care, it is inseparable from eight words, called diet and daily life. Diet, of course, is the nutrition we are talking about, but Chinese medicine pays more attention to rhythm and moderation, which means that the diet should be regular and the diet structure should be controlled, not too miscellaneous, right? Then, besides, he should be moderate and not eat too much. So this belongs to what we now call balanced nutrition and moderate nutrition. So in Chinese medicine, it means harmony and five flavors. All our foods have five flavors: sour, bitter, spicy and salty, so your five flavors should be balanced with each other, so this is a little different from our modern nutrition, that is, you can't eat too many kinds of foods every meal, such as mixed flavors, which is definitely not delicious, so this is what we say. Regular daily life may be easier to understand, called the law of work and rest. For example, it is right to rest at sunrise and sunset. Our daily routine is relatively fixed, which is more conducive to the operation of our blood.
This belongs to the content of our traditional Chinese medicine examination.
Chinese medicine doctors should first look at this person's air. Like this child, this person is very proud and flexible, and his eyes are rolling back and forth. If so, he will be full of pride. This is part of the air. Then color means color. There are many colors on our faces. Although we are yellow, we have different constitutions, so we have cyan, right? Yellow, red, white and black, so they will enter different viscera relatively. This is one aspect. However, if we use the idea of just eight outlines, then the darker and greener ones may be cold, and the redder and yellower ones may be hot, so if we observe that this color is not good, it must be different from our normal ones.
Just like in the past, white satin was covered with a layer of red cinnabar, so it was called white inside and red, which was the best color. If he is too yellow, it means that he has blood deficiency, because he has no blood deficiency and cannot nourish his face. If he is too red, it means that he has yang hyperactivity, so the average person can observe it from his complexion. He knows that you are abnormal, but he may not be able to say such a trick. I can't say exactly where there is a problem.
Yes, this is one. What about the second one? If we say our face, it reflects something about the heart and its qi and blood.
Words, then it is divided into two situations, one is lack of qi and blood, and the other is qi stagnation and blood stasis. What if it is qi and blood deficiency? As we just said, there are some accompanying symptoms, such as fatigue, upset and insomnia. Then you see this man listless, he is tired, and he doesn't want to talk. In fact, this bad complexion is not only a matter of color, you may look at his appearance, so we say that this first impression is good, and the impression is that you must recognize it first. The second is to identify the state of this person's body, so it is color. Then in the second case, qi stagnation and blood stasis, then you can see more than just the whole face. For example, after middle age, many people have spots on their faces, which is a manifestation of qi stagnation and blood stasis. There is also a manifestation of blood stasis, which is characterized by spots on the base of the tongue or dark lips. In fact, black lips are actually an obvious sign. Then ask him if you have any physical pain, especially chest pain and hypochondriac pain. If you have these symptoms, then you can be particularly like this person with blood stasis. Generally speaking, his pain is different from other pains. It is stinging, like the pain of that needle, so it is sharper. Because there is something real in it, which is a kind of tingling.
So after we look at your skin color, we will basically have a general impression. One is to check the dark pulse, and don't distinguish yin and yang yet. You only need to roughly distinguish between yin and yang, deficiency and excess, cold and heat, and then combine the four diagnosis methods, that is, collect other information and draw a conclusion.
Just like Professor Tan said, children are more agile because they have gods. What should a person with qi deficiency do? He is not so tired mentally, and a person with insufficient qi and blood may turn pale and yellow. In fact, many girls like this often have pale faces and pale lips, and may be depressed, and then their mood will be less high. So it can be inferred that he is a deficiency of both qi and blood.
That's right.
What should we do in this situation?
That must be tonic, which is a basic principle in Chinese medicine, because you have to replenish deficiency, just like the nutritional ingredients in our western medicine, you have to replenish deficiency. In our traditional Chinese medicine, if you are deficient in qi, I will replenish qi and blood and nourish blood. Can be supplemented from the inside of the food. For example, like our jujube, it not only nourishes qi but also nourishes blood, and ginseng mainly nourishes qi. Then, like Lycium barbarum, it mainly enriches the blood, so there are some differences. Then others are like this Danggui Siwu decoction, which is the standard collocation for girls, because our gynecology department of traditional Chinese medicine says that women have more blood and less gas, so if she has enough blood, then you can know that her blood deficiency is more serious than normal, so you must give her blood at this time. Only the relationship between qi and blood is that qi is handsome for blood, who depends on blood and who depends on qi. Therefore, when replenishing blood, everyone must not forget to replenish qi. You can't say that I only replenish qi. For example, you can't use only one ginseng to replenish qi, but you must supplement qi and blood together. You may have heard of such a prescription called Shiquan Dabu Decoction, which means 100% tonic, that is to say, you come to ten, I will give you ten, and there are ten kinds of medicines at the same time, Sijunzi Decoction plus Siwu Decoction plus Astragalus and Cinnamon, so it is very balanced, so we have a clever thing here, that is, although our Chinese medicine can divide qi deficiency into blood deficiency, many times you have to coordinate the two kinds of medicines, and at the same time you should pay attention to one. When you make up, you can't make up alone. Some people say that it is not enough to make up, so why not make up for it? It's because your tonic is too bland for him to make up. We all need something to pass in, such as ingredients for regulating qi and promoting blood circulation, such as dried tangerine peel, roses and peach blossoms, which can be passed on to him and pushed up. In particular, the qi stagnation and blood stasis you just mentioned is actually very suitable for promoting blood circulation and qi circulation later. It also needs specific analysis of specific problems.
Ok, this is today's question about invigorating qi and blood. If you are always told that you don't look well today, remember what we just talked to the professor, take notes and use it quickly. I also wish everyone a good life and a good look. See you next time.
