Emotional therapy, referred to as emotional therapy, is to treat patients according to the five elements theory of Tibetan image theory of traditional Chinese medicine People have seven emotions, belonging to the five internal organs, and there is a five-element system between the five internal organs and emotions. Bad emotional activities will lead to excess of yin and yang and imbalance of psychological activities, which will lead to the occurrence of diseases. The correct application of emotional bias can correct the bias of Yin and Yang, Qi and blood, restore the balance and coordination of the body, and make the disease recover. But in fact, the opposition of yin and yang attributes between emotion and law is closely related, that is to say, emotional changes can be divided into yin and yang attributes. In contrast, when Yin and Yang have experienced excessive prosperity and decline in their emotional activities, they can be corrected as long as they adopt the opposite emotional bias, which is not necessarily limited to the Five Elements Theory. Such as anger and fear, sadness and joy, shock and thought, joy and sadness, joy and anger, are all opposing emotional activities, which can adjust and control each other and make Yin and Yang tend to balance again. There are a large number of cases in ancient books in which emotion wins therapy, and briefly describe one or two. Anger has the effects of forgetting to sleep, relieving anxiety, relieving depression, suppressing convulsion and so on, and is widely used in treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the ambition of the liver is anger, the ambition of the spleen is thinking, and anger is better than thinking. Although anger is a bad emotion, it is a positive emotional change. Therefore, diseases caused by negative emotional changes, such as sadness and depression, panic and timidity, can be treated with anger therapy. Zisifu thinks day and night, thinking too much will hurt the spleen, which was a great shame for women in the society at that time, so women cried and thought when they were angry, so they would get well.

According to Lu Chunqiu? Zhizhong recorded: "Wang Qi's illness made people become the literary records of Song Ying. When he arrived, he diagnosed Wang's illness and said to the prince, "Wang will be fine." Although Wang's illness has been measured, he still wants to kill. "The prince said,' Why?' Wenzhi said to him,' If you are angry with the king, you will be hopeless; If you are angry with the king, you will die. ..... (Wen Zhi) and the prince period, and will go to improper three, Qi Wanggu has been angry. When he arrived, he lay in bed and asked about Wang's illness. Wang was angry and didn't say anything. Wenzhi was angry with the king's speech, and the king scolded him, so the king recovered. "This medical record is an earlier record of psychotherapy in traditional Chinese medicine. From "Anger at the King of Qi, the disease will not be cured" and "Anger at the King of Qi, the group will attack", we can see that the King of Qi is suffering from a disease caused by emotion, thinking or depression, and anger can be cured by depression, so Wen Zhi deliberately took anger at the King of Qi, and when the King of Qi was angry, "the disease was his own".

There are many cases of anger therapy, which have been recorded in almost all previous dynasties' works. For example, in the Complete Records of the Medical Department written by Chen Menglei, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, there is such a case: "jane doe was sick and didn't eat, but he was lying in the north for half a year, and his doctor's advice was not good. Weng (author's note: referring to a famous doctor in the Yuan Dynasty) diagnosed it, and the liver pulse string was exported, saying,' This is a bad idea of a man, and the qi is tied to the spleen, so the ear is closed.' Knock and you can marry a husband for five years. Weng refers to his father's day; It is a disease that can only be solved by anger. If it is hit by anger, it belongs to wood and can break the knot of its soil. It is appropriate to touch it now to make it angry. Father thinks so. The third kind of person is arrogant, pointing at his face and being accused of improper thinking. Women wail, go on the rampage, and anger devours everything. Weng said to his father, "If you think of Qi, you will be happy, and then you won't end it.". Cheat her husband with a book. In the last three months, my husband returned to China, but he was ill. "This case is a woman's heart for pleasure, lung for sorrow, fire for gold, joy wins sorrow. Happiness is a benign emotional change, so it can be used to treat diseases caused by bad emotional activities such as worry, anger, thinking and sadness, as well as diseases caused by negative emotional States opposite to happiness.

It is said that there was an eight-government patrol in the Qing Dynasty, which worried about his illness for a long time, and many doctors did not see its effect. Then I went to a famous doctor for diagnosis: irregular menstruation. Smile at the interview, and you will laugh naturally every time you think about it, and your illness will gradually get better. Laughter belongs to the soul, happiness can overcome troubles, how can a man have a month? If you think about it, you will laugh, and if you laugh often, you will worry, so the disease will be fine before you know it.

There is also a record of joy therapy in Continued Medical Records written by Wei Zhixiu, a famous doctor in Qing Dynasty. "Zhang is Guanling's wife. She is sick, hungry, often crying to kill around, and full of malicious words. Many doctors are ineffective for half a year. Zhang Shizhi said, "It is difficult to cure with drugs." Is to let the second wife, each coated with Dan powder, unfortunately, the wife smiled. Next time, he turned a corner and smiled again. Two women who can eat often praise their food, and their wives want to taste it. If you are angry in a few days, you will eat less and eat more. If you don't have medicine, it will hurt. "In this case, the patient's madness is quite similar to the hysteria of modern medicine. This disease is called "yelling" because it occurs in the liver. Anger is rebellious, madness is concentrated, and food is excessive. Zhang asked Ai to play the leading role and make her laugh. Laugh and you will be very happy. Slow down when you are happy and consume your heart. Going against the trend can make you happy and lure you into delicious food, so the anger increases greatly and there is no cure. Sadness is a negative emotion, but under certain conditions, sadness can calm the excitement, control the joy and forget other thoughts, thus turning it into a positive therapeutic effect. The ambition of lung gold is sadness, the ambition of liver wood is evil, sadness is qi, anger is qi, gold can overcome wood, and sadness can overcome anger. Happiness and anger are both positive and exciting emotions, which are opposite to sadness, so sadness therapy can also treat ecstasy.

There are also cases of grief therapy in the case of continuing famous doctors: Li Qi's nature was first achieved, and he returned to Lu Yiren in Deyu. The world is a farmer, Gui Mao is handsome in his hometown, his father laughs loudly because of joy, and he is a scholar in spring, smiling very well. After ten years of persuasion, I became ill. From the beginning, I can't stop at night. I'm worried about big advice, and I'm calm enough to ask a doctor too much because I've been taught. I ordered my family to send a message to my father: "Great admonition is dead." And the death of my father. If so, the illness will gradually subside after ten days. There is also a post saying: "Dr. Zhao cured the big advice and never woke up." Li Yin is not sad, but he will never get sick. Happy heart is fire, too happy is sadness. Thought rules God. Once you get sick, you will be unconscious and moody. Li's father was happy and sad, and he was sick with laughter. The sudden news of his son's death made him extremely sad. He was afraid of hurting his kidney, which was the main water source. He controlled his happiness with fear, that is, water could put out the fire. Therefore, the disease can be cured. That is, a therapy to stop the patient's morbid mood through panic. The ambition of kidney water is fear, the ambition of heart fire is joy, water can overcome fire, and fear can control joy. Panic can also cause the confusion and dispersion of qi, thus alleviating the stagnation and occlusion of qi caused by anxiety. So some anxiety disorders can be treated by stimulating methods such as making people panic.

It is recorded in the Book of Medicine on the Stream written by Xu Lingtai, a great doctor in the Qing Dynasty that the new temple chose the champion and returned on leave. I went to Huaishang and got sick, so I invited a famous doctor. The doctor said, "If you can't get sick, you will die in a few days. You can come back soon, run faster and get to the hospital. " Temple selection was shocked and returned all the way. Seven days later, it was safe and sound. His servant went to Japan: "The doctor has a gift, so I'd like to present it." The temple was demolished, saying, "Since the public came, it is extremely happy and sad, and there is no medicine to cure it, so the servants are afraid of death, so it is no harm to treat them today." I admire the choice of temples. This temple is the best choice, and it is extremely happy, healthy, dissipated and difficult to cure. Famous doctors cheat with death, fear death and love life. It is human nature for the new champion to be sad and worried. The upper focus can't be combined and the lower focus can't be scattered. People who consume will benefit, and scattered people will gather, so they can be cured without medication.

When do modern doctors want to write "No medical records in past dynasties"? It said, "A patient was stunned by electric shock, and his eyes rolled up. After treatment, his illness recovered, but his pupils could not appear. The patient can only see the roof all day and can't walk all his life. Some doctors are sitting in high seats today, hiding under the seats, silently ringing gold loudly. The patients are frightened and their pupils are like ordinary people. " Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the purpose is to shock the liver, which is to damage the yin and blood of the liver meridian, leading to malnutrition of the eye system. The doctor sat the patient in a high position because of shock treatment, and the monk suddenly struck the gong. The patient was frightened. When he looked down, his pupils dropped. Those who go up go down, and those who go up go down, so that the disease will be cured. Thinking therapy is a treatment method. Thinking leads to qi stagnation, which can restrain the mental distraction caused by panic and ecstasy, and make patients actively eliminate some bad emotions through thinking. The ambition of spleen and soil is thinking, and the ambition of kidney and water is fear. Thinking leads to qi stagnation and fear leads to qi depression. Soil can overcome water and thinking can overcome fear, so the symptoms of panic and ecstasy can be treated with thinking therapy. Jin Shu? The legend of Yue Guang (Yue Guang) said, "If you have a close friend, you will never come back. You will ask him why, and you will answer, "I sat in front of me and someone gave me wine." I was disgusted when I saw a snake in the cup. I feel sick after drinking it. "So there is an opening angle bow on the wall of Henan, painted as a snake, and the snake in Guangyi Cup is also a corner shadow. The guest put the wine in front of him and said, "Do you see anything in the glass?" Answer: "I saw the same as before." Kuanhe told the reason, and the guests immediately understood and indulged. Because of doubt, there are diseases in ancient and modern times. Cup bow snake shadow is a typical example. For this kind of disease, doctors only need to find out the cause and explain the symptoms, so that patients will get suspicious and understand that the disease will be safe.
