What is "heart is sweat"
Heart governs blood, and sweat and sweat are homologous, so "sweat is the fluid of the heart". Pathologically, hyperhidrosis, easy consumption of sad blood, and palpitations. Yang Qi fumigated body fluids to produce fur and sweat. Sweating will not only harm body fluid, but also consume sad gas, so sweating may lead to diseases of yang death. That is, it is often said that "gas is removed with liquid".
People sweat when they are frightened, usually in a cold sweat. Feeling cold because of nervousness, fright or illness is usually described as "being scared into a cold sweat". This kind of cold sweat refers to sweating because of cold limbs. No fever before sweating, no thirst. Often accompanied by listlessness, pale face, loose stool, long urine, slow pulse, pale tongue and other cold symptoms. It is mostly caused by yang deficiency and insufficient defensive qi, and it can also be caused by fright. Many white-collar workers have symptoms of cold sweat, mostly caused by body yang deficiency. The human body is deficient in yang. "The so-called cold is not external cold, but yang deficiency, so cold is born in the middle and yin has no yang, and yin has no yang, so yin has no owner and sweat comes out with qi." Therefore, this is a sign that the yang is gone and the true yuan is gone. For example, after postpartum illness, or vomiting and diarrhea, after blood loss, you will also sweat a lot, so the yang will go with the gas.
Many white-collar workers are in a sub-health state and are often prone to night sweats at night. This situation is mostly caused by excessive heart fire and excessive mental pressure. Sweat is the fluid of the heart, and kidney water should come up at night to reduce the heart fire. But the competitive pressure in modern society is too great, and many people still think about things at night. If the kidney water is sufficient, put out the fire. But it is precisely because many people are full of enthusiasm and just lack of kidney water that they are prone to night sweats. This is heart-kidney disharmony. People who have night sweats are prone to insomnia.
Sweat is sweat on the outside and blood on the inside. Excessive night sweats will inevitably lead to yin deficiency. So eating more nourishing food can alleviate the problem of night sweats. Of course, if you can't find the problem, you can consider the problem of the spine, which is also easy to cause night sweats.
What is "lungs crying"
Snuff comes from the nose, which is lung orifices, so "snot is lung fluid". The lungs are responsible for breathing, and the nose is the passage of qi. If the lungs are harmonious, the airway is unobstructed and five qi (five flavors) can be distinguished. If the lung is diseased, the nasal mucus will be abnormal, and the change of nasal mucus can be used as one of the basis of syndrome differentiation of lung disease.
Snuff is the fluid of lung, which is the external manifestation of lung function. When do people cry? There are usually several situations: 1, catching a cold; 2. sadness; 3. External stimulus. Here's an explanation:
1, cold, cold enters the body, at this time, the body will feel sore, when antiperspirant is used, the cold will be dispelled, at this time, people will enter the late stage of cold and start to shed tears. At this time, touching your clear nose will make you feel cold. In fact, this is a cold pathogen discharged from the respiratory tract, which indicates that a cold will be better. Usually, the tears run out and the cold naturally heals. There is also a runny nose, mostly caused by a fever. At the same time, it will also be caused by suppuration after respiratory mucosa damage. Generally speaking, you can drink carrots and apple juice to clear away heat and repair damaged mucosa.
2. sadness. This situation is similar to tears. Traditional Chinese medicine usually thinks that thinking hurts the spleen and lungs. Therefore, when people are sad, tears and snot often flow together, which is also a process of detoxification.
3. External stimulus. For example, you can't help crying when you eat Chili, garlic and mustard. These foods are classified as "Xin" in Chinese medicine. The pungent smell enters the lungs, and too much pungent smell hurts the lungs. If you feel cold occasionally, with the help of these foods, it will help to expel the cold from your body, and it will be normal to shed tears. However, eating too much of these things will hurt the lungs and cause hemorrhoids. Lung and large intestine are exterior and interior, which are caused by excessive stimulation. In addition, there is another situation in which some people shed tears when defecating, which is similar to the previous sentence.
What is "liver is tears"
Tears are for the purpose of liver, so "tears are liver fluid". Under physiological conditions, tears can moisten the eyes, make them moist but not dry, and often wash foreign bodies to keep them clean. If there is a lesion, the secretion of tears will be abnormal. If liver yin deficiency, body fluid deficiency, tears do not melt, then the eyes are malnourished and dry; When the common cold touches the liver meridian, it cries in the wind and itchy eyes; If the liver meridian is hot, the tears are sticky and the eyes are afraid of light pain; If liver and kidney yin deficiency, old age qi and blood weakness, cold tears can also be seen It has certain reference significance for clinical syndrome differentiation and diagnosis.
Everyone knows the saying: "Men don't flick when they have tears, but they haven't reached the sad place yet". Because tears are the fluid of the liver. The liver is the largest detoxification organ in the human body. Therefore, the tears that people shed when they are extremely sad are actually a kind of self-protection and detoxification of the human body. Tears have proved to be the most effective "prescription" to reduce mental burden. Probably for this reason, women are less likely than men to suffer from nervous tension-induced infarction and stroke. The frequency of men's tears is 1/5 that of women, so men are more likely to suffer from diseases such as ulcers than women. The prolactin in women's tears is higher than that in men, and this hormonal difference is probably one of the reasons why women love to cry. In fact, when you are wronged or tortured by sadness, you can vent your pain, which is very beneficial to improve your mood. Tears instead of tears are an important cause of ulcers, hypertension and mental disorders. Of course, there are many reasons why women live longer than men. Among them, women's holidays and tears are a kind of detoxification performance of the human body. Detoxification at any time, toxins are difficult to accumulate in the body and will not lead to serious illness in life.
What is "spleen is saliva"
Saliva comes from the mouth, and the mouth is the opening of the spleen, so it is called "saliva is the liquid of the spleen", which is often called saliva or saliva together with saliva. Because the spleen opens the mouth, the stomach and spleen cooperate with each other, the function of the spleen and stomach is normal, and water and dampness can be transported, then the body fluid is full, the mouth is neutral, not dry or light, and the food can distinguish five flavors. Spleen and stomach deficiency cold, water and liquid do not melt, cold saliva tasteless, malicious saliva; Stomach fire is blazing, body fluid is burned by heat, and dry mouth and saliva are few; If the stomach and intestines have stopped eating, accumulated worms or are hot and humid, it is common for saliva to flow spontaneously, especially when sleeping, especially for children.
Many people go out to eat in restaurants and like something to drink. I feel that if there is no drink, this meal will have no taste, and I always feel very dry, that is to say, I can't feel hungry when I eat, and I can't secrete saliva when I eat, so I will use drinks instead. However, most drinks have high sugar content, which will make people feel full after drinking, thus affecting people's normal diet. But this feeling of fullness is not really full, the stomach is empty and people should eat more. Eating this way will make people fat. Some old people or children love to drool, which is commonly known as saliva. Chinese medicine will say spleen deficiency when looking at this phenomenon. Deficiency is actually weakness, which means that the function of the spleen has deteriorated. Because the spleen governs the muscles, the muscles can't restrain the mouth, and naturally the saliva will flow outside. Most people are fat, especially some people drool everywhere when they sleep.
What is "kidney producing saliva"
Saliva seems to refer to saliva secreted by sublingual gland, mainly kidney. Under physiological conditions, saliva has the functions of moistening mouth, moistening things and cleaning mouth. However, abnormalities will also occur during the pathological process. If the liver and kidney are yin deficient, the saliva will be dry, especially at night.
As the saying goes, man struggles upwards and water flows downwards. Therefore, saliva is easy to understand. Saliva is the body fluid of the kidney. That is, the external manifestation of renal function. As mentioned earlier when talking about saliva, saliva is clearer than saliva. When you think of eating sour apricots, you secrete saliva. And how is saliva secreted? As long as you stir your tongue hard, you will soon secrete liquid, which is saliva. It is produced by two acupoints, Jin Jin and Yu Ye, which pass through strange acupoints. Some people think that it is produced from the bladder meridian to the head. Chinese medicine ascribes "saliva" to the kidney.
When it comes to saliva, we can't help but mention the skill often used by ancient health experts, which is called red dragon stirring the sea. "Red Dragon" is the tongue, "Huachi" and "Sea" are the mouth. "Red dragon stirs the sea" means that the tongue is often stirred in the mouth without eating, so that the water in the body rises to the mouth, turns into saliva through the salivary gland and then slowly swallows it, thus achieving the purposes of fitness, disease elimination and longevity.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the five fluids are born in the five internal organs, and the lesions of the five internal organs can affect the five fluids and cause different lesions. According to this basic theory, the pathological manifestations of five fluids can be used to assist the diagnosis of visceral diseases in clinic. In addition, because the kidney governs water, the five fluids are all transformed from body fluid, so there is a saying that "the five fluids are closely related to the kidney".
