When we play chess, whether we lose the car or the horse, as long as the teacher is still there, the chess is not lost; But the coach was eaten by the other side. No matter how many cars, horses and guns you have, you will lose. The position of the heart in the five internal organs of the human body is the master of the chessboard, so Huangdi Neijing is the "official of the monarch" and is in charge of the operation of qi and blood.
Traditional Chinese medicine says that the heart hides the spirit, the heart is full of qi and blood, and the spirit can be repaired, so people are clear-headed, quick-thinking and sweet-sleeping. On the other hand, if people's memory declines, and their sleep is shallow and dreamy, it means that their mood and efforts are not enough, so they should be supplemented as soon as possible.
Chinese medicine believes that happiness is sadness. In other words, excessive surprises can damage heart function. For example, Jin Fan's example is a typical example of great joy and sadness.
The heart begins to understand the tongue. Traditional Chinese medicine judges the function of the heart by observing the shape and color changes of the tongue and the fluency of language expression. For example, people who often have nasal tip ulcers at home are angry; When you talk, you often break points, that is, you are too tired and guilty. The veins under the tongue root are purple and varicose, indicating that there are many arteriosclerosis in the cardiovascular system.
Abnormal heart-fire system often causes the following symptoms: palpitation, precordial pain, cyanosis of lip nail, sores on mouth and tongue, insomnia and dreaminess, neurasthenia, coronary heart disease, etc. So what are the good ways for Chinese medicine to have these symptoms?
According to the five-element health culture of harmony between man and nature, red foods such as red dates, red peppers, red beans, cherries, chicken and duck blood, longan and the pronunciation of "harmony" are all related to the heart and belong to the heart fire system, so they can tonify the heart. The best food for clearing heart fire is lotus seed and bitter gourd, both of which are bitter. Bitterness entering the heart meridian also belongs to the heart fire system, which can clear the heart fire. Frequent use of the sound "harmony" in daily life is also helpful to heart function.
In the body, we can promote the operation of mind and energy by knocking on the pericardium meridian, Neiguan, bumping into the tomb and patting the polar spring.
Among many kinds of Xiancao, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis plays the first role in treating coronary heart disease, while Ganoderma lucidum plays a very good role in nourishing the heart and calming the nerves, Dendrobium nobile has the best role in nourishing the heart, nourishing yin and tonifying the heart, and Ziziphus jujuba seed has the strongest role in calming the nerves and helping sleep.

And people with palpitation, arrhythmia and coronary heart disease. , suitable for taking Bai Tong capsules; As a capsule of Ganoderma lucidum for nourishing five internal organs and qi and blood, it has obvious regulating effect on various symptoms caused by abnormal heart function.
General: liver
Huangdi Neijing compares the liver to "the general's official" and describes the physiological characteristics of the liver with the general's noisy personality.
In fact, people with bad temper are often angry. Therefore, when a person loses his temper, you should not argue with him. Why? He couldn't help it, because his liver was too strong and turned into anger. Irritable people often clap their desks and scream. He must vent this anger, so that he will feel better, otherwise he will get sick if he keeps it in his heart. When this gas dissipates, it will naturally calm down. However, if a person is always angry, blood pressure will be high, and it will promote liver fibrosis. During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhou Yu's sword wound burst and he fell to the ground in great anger, which is a typical case of "great anger hurting the liver". It is very important for health to treat others and yourself with tolerance and maintain a peaceful attitude in life.
Liver stores blood, and we can judge the rise and fall of liver blood from the condition of nails and eyes. Nails on people's hands are a barometer of the rise and fall of liver blood. If the nails are thinner, more brittle and whiter than the average person, it is liver blood deficiency. The liver began to understand the eyes. If the eyes are often dry, it is easy to shed tears in the wind, indicating that liver yin and blood are insufficient.
Liver-wood system is abnormal, with symptoms such as bitter taste, dizziness, dry eyes, red eyes, swelling and pain in both ribs, irritability, liver disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and dry nails.
So how should we care? Sour taste, cyan and Xu are all related to the liver and belong to the liver-wood system. Therefore, sour foods such as dark plum, vinegar and hawthorn, and cyan foods such as mint and celery are all helpful for nourishing the liver. In addition, chrysanthemum, onion, litchi, papaya, peach, carp and other foods are also representative of liver-nourishing foods. The sound of "Xu" in life is also helpful to liver function.
Many people feel rib pain when they are angry. This is because the liver meridian passes through two ribs. In the health culture of traditional Chinese medicine, beating ribs is helpful to the blood circulation of liver meridian, which is a simple and easy method to nourish liver. For people with liver fire, beating ribs or gallbladder channels often helps to clear the liver.
Among many herbs for nourishing liver, Lycium barbarum is the first one to benefit liver and improve eyesight, Ganoderma lucidum is the best one to protect liver and detoxify, and Gastrodia elata is the most effective one to calm liver and yang. For people with liver system dysfunction, taking Bai Tong capsule can relieve hypertension caused by liver wind inflammation, and relieve symptoms such as bitter taste and dizziness. Lycium barbarum capsule can relieve dry eyes, red eyes, swelling and pain on the basis of nourishing liver and kidney. People who drink alcohol for a long time, have fatty liver and alcoholic hepatitis need to take Nine Treasures natto capsules.
