Zeng Qixiang often mentioned the word qi and blood in Chinese medicine. They think that the standard of a person's health is sufficient qi and blood. Why is qi and blood so important? Qi and blood are antagonistic and interdependent. Qi is yang, which is the motive force, and blood is yin, which is the material basis. The human body needs qi when performing various actions, so if there is a problem with qi, there will be a problem with blood circulation, but at the same time, the circulation of qi must rely on blood to play its role. Blood promotes the normal functional activities of organs, and normal functional activities promote the operation of blood, which is the relationship between qi and blood. If the qi is deficient, it means that the function of zang-fu organs is decreased, and the disease resistance is worse, and there will be symptoms such as listlessness, cold limbs, fatigue, palpitation and shortness of breath. If the blood is deficient, it will cause symptoms such as dry skin, withered hair, insomnia and dreaminess, and trance. How does qi and blood work? When diseases occur in the human body, it is often due to insufficient or excessive qi, or qi disorder. The operation mode of qi can be roughly divided into "in" and "out", "in" and "out". The most common problems occur when you are out, out of breath or out of breath. Deficiency refers to that the gas of human body is blocked, and the produced carbon dioxide can't be excreted, which causes the problems of blood souring and tissue hypoxia, which leads to the decline of oxygen carrying capacity of red blood cells and incomplete combustion, thus causing pain of lactic acid, while too much is excessive panting, blood alkalization, acid-base imbalance in the body, and the most common is arm paralysis, so the gas should be fully balanced to have a healthy body. Blood of qi and blood refers to blood. When blood flows through every organ, it is a circulation. As long as the human body has a good circulation, the qi and blood will be smooth. There are three main blood circulation systems, including arteries, veins and lymph, which support each other. Arteries represent cardiopulmonary function. Venous reflux is muscle contraction; Lymphatic circulation is related to breathing. In order to keep the circulation in the best condition, we can strengthen the cardiopulmonary function, mainly running, swimming and cycling. Health-keeping exercise related to qi and blood circulation: clap your hands twice and shout twice! Howl! "Open your arms twice and shout" Ha! Ha! 」
When human muscle aches, it is related to lack of oxygen and incomplete combustion in the body, which leads to the accumulation of lactic acid that cannot be metabolized. At this time, it is very important to increase lung capacity, expel the old and absorb the new. Shout-closing and mouth-opening is a kind of qigong that clap hands, expand chest, breathe and sound, so as to increase breathing volume. In addition, this action can achieve the effect of relieving stress, and the vibration generated when making sound can help breathing and blood circulation. The ten-skilled hand movement, which is widely circulated among the people, mainly uses meridians to promote the smooth flow of qi and blood and improve physical condition. The first trick: palm down, thumb adduction, tiger's mouth knocking each other, mainly Hegu point and large intestine meridian, which can replenish qi.
The second measure: palm up, elbow slightly flexed, palm side attack, mainly * * * Houxi point and small intestine meridian, which is very effective in relieving shoulder and neck pain.
