Benefiting wood to make fire is a therapeutic method to nourish liver (wood) blood and heart (fire) blood.
Wood fire is a kind of five elements, which is formed by combining the old saying. It is also a Chinese medicine term, which expresses the nourishing state of the liver to the heart. The theory of five elements is a philosophical thought created by ancient people in China, which takes the five elements in daily life: gold, wood, water, fire and earth as the basis for the changes of all things in the universe and various natural phenomena.
The so-called "fate" means mutual production, that is, production. Production includes both material production and interpersonal production. Mothers give birth to children, so life also means birth, which means birth. Life is also nourishing. Who nourishes who can be understood as who gave birth to whom.
Wood fire, a term of traditional Chinese medicine, is based on the theory of five elements. By comparing and taking pictures, the relationship between wood and fire in the five elements is manifested as the nourishing relationship between liver and heart in the normal physiological process of human body: the liver has the function of storing blood and regulating blood flow, which is helpful for the heart to control blood vessels; The release of liver and the rise of hair also contribute to the exuberance of heart yang.
In addition, if the function of the liver is normal and the liver qi reaches a high level, it can assist the function of the heart to control the mind, so as to achieve smooth blood flow and a good mood. In this way, we can say, as the Secret Book of Su Wenling Lan says, "If you are wise, you will be safe, if you keep in good health, you will live longer, and if you die, you will think that the world is prosperous."
Liver deficiency can not warm and nourish the heart, which is manifested as blood deficiency and fatigue, painstaking heart yang and mental weakness. Pathological manifestations are emaciation, timidity, insomnia, weak pulse, knot generation or restless pulse. The liver is also the viscera storing blood, and the internal fire is the qi of the liver. The heart governs blood, and the fire is clear, so the deficiency of wood without fire is more common and the will is lost.
Huangdi Neijing said: "The liver stores cold and moves the heart, while the heart controls fire and stores the spirit. God is thin and confused by cold, so he is crazy in the diaphragm. " According to the principle of "tonifying the mother in deficiency and nourishing the son in reality" in Difficult Classics Sixty-nine Difficult Classics, if a zang-fu organ has deficiency syndrome, it should be supplemented at the same time. Specific treatment methods include nourishing water and wood, supplementing fire and soil, etc.
