The knowledge of health care of the five zang-organs and six fu-organs in TCM is that the human body takes the five zang-organs as the core and the zang-organs are the exterior and interior of each other, so we can raise the five zang-organs and six fu-organs to be safe accordingly. We have an old saying called "the official of the monarch", which means that the heart is in the most important position in the five internal organs. The following is to share the knowledge of five zang-organs health care in traditional Chinese medicine.
Knowledge of health care of five zang-organs and six fu-organs in traditional Chinese medicine 1 methods of health care of spleen and stomach
The spleen mentioned in TCM is not the spleen in western medicine anatomy, but summarizes the comprehensive functions of the stomach, small intestine, large intestine and other organs (the other four organs such as heart, liver, lung and kidney are not the heart, liver, lung and kidney mentioned in western medicine anatomy, but refer to the heart-fire system, liver-wood system, lung-gold system and kidney-water system in TCM).
Spleen belongs to the earth in the five elements and is the "production factory" of human qi and blood. Its physiological function is "transportation", that is, food is digested into nutrients (that is, qi and blood) and transported to all parts of the body.
Physicians in past dynasties attached great importance to the health-preserving function of spleen and stomach. Huangdi Neijing pointed out: "Spleen is the foundation of the day after tomorrow and the main source of qi and blood." This means that the spleen and stomach are the "acquired foundation" of human health and the source of qi and blood biochemistry of the five internal organs. The function of the spleen and stomach is also closely related to people's emotions. Thinking too much will hurt the spleen. For example, Zhuge Liang died at the age of 54 in the Three Kingdoms period because he thought too much, which led to the death of qi and blood.
Chinese medicine has a trick to understand the rise and fall of human qi and blood, which is to observe the color of lips. Because the spleen opens in the mouth, the color of the lips represents the rise and fall of qi and blood. If the lips are pale or dull, it means that the temper is insufficient and the qi and blood are insufficient. This person is mostly deficient in qi and blood.
Abnormal spleen and stomach system is often manifested as dyspepsia, loss of appetite, abdominal distension after eating, nausea, vomiting, burping, heartburn, diarrhea and constipation, gastritis, gastrointestinal ulcer and other symptoms. We can judge whether the spleen and stomach function is good by the presence or absence of these symptoms. If these symptoms appear, it means that there is something wrong with the spleen and stomach system. What should I do?
According to the five-element health-preserving culture of harmony between man and nature, Chinese medicine believes that yellow, sweet and empty pronunciations are all related to the spleen and stomach, belonging to the spleen-soil system, which can regulate and supplement the qi of the spleen and stomach.
Therefore, people with poor spleen and stomach should wear yellow clothes, and the color of the room can be more yellow. Eating more yellow and sweet foods in the diet, such as millet, sweet potato, corn, pumpkin and soybean, are all good products for nourishing the spleen and stomach.
The frequent use of the sound "deficiency" in daily life also contributes to the function of the spleen and stomach. Sound can cure diseases, isn't it too mysterious? It's not mysterious at all. The phonological health preservation of traditional Chinese medicine is similar to the music therapy of western medicine. "Biography of Historical Records of Le Shu" said: "Musicians, turbulent blood, circulating spirit." It can be seen that sound can really reflect a person's physical condition and can also promote the rehabilitation of diseases.
There is also the power to regulate the spleen and stomach in our body. For example, there is a folk saying that "massaging Zusanli every day is equivalent to eating an old hen", which means that tapping Zusanli point often can enhance the function of spleen and stomach transport. In addition, you can also do abdominal breathing, rubbing your abdomen or squatting to strengthen the spleen and stomach system.
The way of keeping the heart healthy
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 teacher in 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 a person's memory declines, and his sleep is shallow and dreamy, it means that his mood and efforts are not enough, so he should make up quickly.
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, which belongs to the heart fire system, so it can nourish the heart, especially the Chinese medicine Ziziphus jujuba seed, which has a particularly good effect of nourishing the heart and calming the nerves. 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.
The way of liver health preservation
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 anger 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? Acid, green and Hu are all related to the liver and belong to the liver-wood system. Therefore, sour foods such as donkey-hide gelatin, dark plum, vinegar and hawthorn, and cyan foods such as mint and celery are all good foods for nourishing the liver. In addition, roses, chrysanthemums, onions, litchi, papaya, peaches, carp and other foods are also representative of liver-nourishing foods. "Hu" sounds are often made in life, which is also helpful for 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.
The way of lung health preservation
Huangdi Neijing said: "The lung is the qi of the whole body, responsible for breathing, controlling the fur and opening the nose." Therefore, the lung is called the prime minister of the human body and is in charge of the operation of healthy qi.
Sadness will block the operation of human qi, so too much sadness will hurt the lungs. Sentimental Lin Daiyu, unhappy all day, eventually died of lung disease, which is a typical example of great sorrow and lung disease. Therefore, we should keep an optimistic attitude and avoid unnecessary sadness, otherwise it will be harmful to the lungs.
If pathogens invade the lungs, leading to lung qi disorder, the common symptoms are: cough, shortness of breath, hemoptysis, easy to catch a cold, chronic bronchitis, asthma, rhinitis, chronic pharyngitis and so on. After a long time, qi stagnation will cause rough skin and acne.
According to the theory of five elements, the pronunciations of Bai, Xin and si are all related to the lung and belong to the lung-gold system. Therefore, Bai Yiner, lily and pear are all good products for nourishing lung and yin; Spicy ginger juice, onion, coriander, etc. It can open lung qi, and it is best to take it when you have a cold. The sound of "hissing (si)" is also helpful for liver function.
Xiang Ying point is used to treat rhinitis among human meridian points, and regular massage of this position can effectively prevent rhinitis; Shanzhong point is an important point for regulating lung qi, and tapping it often has a good effect on many lung diseases.
Patients with chronic pharyngitis are suitable to take Shuang Yan buccal tablets with lotus seeds and Fritillaria as main ingredients. Because the lungs control fur, women with familial pigmentation can reduce pigmentation by regulating lung qi.
The way of kidney health preservation
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the five internal organs of human body are composed of viscera, with the five internal organs as the center, including heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney. The five zang-organs do not exist in isolation. They are interrelated and restricted to form a dynamic and balanced whole. Among them, the kidney is the root of the yin and yang of the viscera, "all the yang of the viscera is warmed by the kidney yang, and all the yin of the viscera is moistened by the kidney yin". In other words, the yang of the five zang-organs is warmed by the kidney yang and the yin of the five zang-organs is supplied by the kidney yin, so the rise and fall of each zang-fu organ depends on the health and rise and fall of the kidney, so there is a saying that the kidney is the root of the five zang-organs. In other words, the rise and fall of essence in the kidney will affect the functions of other viscera.
Huangdi Neijing holds that the kidney is "the place where the essence is stored, and the main bone produces marrow", which means that it is the engine of life, so ancient doctors also called the kidney "the congenital foundation".
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that kidney stores essence, essence can produce marrow, and its flowers are in hair. Bone marrow is stored in bone cavity to nourish bones, which is called "kidney governs bone" and "kidney produces marrow". Kidney essence is sufficient, bone marrow is full, and bones are fully nourished by bone marrow, so they are strong and powerful.
Kidney essence deficiency, lack of bone marrow source, bones can not be nourished, bones will be weak, and even stunted. Teeth, like bones, are nourished by kidney essence, which is the so-called "teeth outside the bones" Therefore, Chinese medicine believes that all children's tooth growth retardation, adult teeth loosening or early shedding are caused by insufficient kidney essence. Although the nutrition of hair comes from blood, its vitality comes from the kidneys. Because the kidney stores essence, essence can transform blood, essence and blood are abundant, and hair is rich, it is called "its flowers are in the hair". Long-term illness and hair thinning, withering, shedding, or premature aging, premature aging, mostly kidney essence deficiency, blood deficiency.
There are many physiological reactions when people sit still, and one of them is drooling. This shows that your kidney qi and kidney essence have been supplemented, because saliva belongs to kidney water in the five elements theory. Therefore, people with kidney yin deficiency often have dry mouth and insufficient saliva, which is kidney essence deficiency.
So what are the symptoms of kidney essence deficiency? Common diseases include soreness of waist and knees, cold hands and feet, fatigue, tinnitus, alopecia, loose teeth, osteoporosis, nocturia, prostatic hypertrophy, sexual dysfunction, infertility, kidney deficiency, menopausal syndrome and so on.
According to the theory of five elements of health preservation, the pronunciations of black, salty and green are all related to the kidney and belong to the renal water system. Salty seafood tonifies the kidney, represented by sea cucumber and shrimp; Black sesame, black adzuki bean and black-bone chicken are all good products for tonifying kidney; In addition, pig kidney, walnut and leek are also good products for tonifying kidney. The sound of "blowing" in daily life is also helpful for kidney function.
The waist is the house of the kidney. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that weakness of waist and knees is kidney deficiency. Rotating the waist often is good for the kidneys, which is called "rocking the dragon" in traditional health preservation. There is a key point in Tai Ji Chuan or Qigong Station Pile, which is to relax the waist to regulate kidney qi. There is an important acupoint on the waist called Shenshu, which is often patted and moxibustion, which has a good effect on nourishing kidney essence.
Knowledge of TCM health care for internal organs 2 1, heart and small intestine;
The heart is the most important organ in the zang-fu organs, which plays a leading and dominant role. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the mind governs the gods and is related to people's thinking activities. For example, we often say that "thinking with heart" refers to the role of the heart in people's thinking activities.
The heart is the driving force of human blood circulation, and blood is transported to the whole body through the beating of the heart, and the ups and downs of painstaking efforts can be reflected in the pulse; Only when the heart controls sweat can you understand the tongue. The changes of tongue quality can reflect the physiological and pathological changes of the heart.
The small intestine is located in the abdominal cavity. After being digested by the stomach, Shui Gu enters the small intestine for further digestion, thus absorbing nutrients and eliminating bad pa. If there is something wrong with the small intestine, there will be digestive and absorption dysfunction and abnormal urination, such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, oliguria and other symptoms.
The heart and small intestine belong to the exterior, the heart belongs to the interior, the small intestine belongs to the exterior, and the yang of the heart falls under the small intestine, helping the small intestine to distinguish the essence from the dross in food. Excessive heart fire can move to the small intestine, causing symptoms such as short and red urine, burning pain and hematuria. On the contrary, if the small intestine is too hot, it will also lead to excessive heart fire, resulting in symptoms such as heart heat, redness and sores on the mouth and tongue.
2. Liver and gallbladder:
The liver has the functions of regulating some mental and emotional activities, storing blood and regulating blood volume, and assisting the spleen and stomach to digest food. The liver began to understand the purpose, and liver disease often caused various eye diseases.
Bile is attached to the liver, and the bile stored in bile is caught in the middle by the secretion of the liver, "which is overflowed into bile by the excess gas of the liver and accumulated".
Only when the liver and gallbladder are both exterior and interior, the catharsis function of the liver is normal, the storage and excretion of bile can be normal, the excretion of bile and sweat can be smooth, and the liver can play its catharsis role. The liver and gallbladder affect each other at the onset, so the liver and gallbladder are treated together at the time of treatment.
3. Spleen and stomach:
Spleen and stomach are in charge of nutrition and digestion, absorption and transmission of water in diet to meet the needs of various tissues and organs of human life activities, so there is a saying that spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow. In addition, the spleen also has the functions of regulating water shield, regulating blood and controlling muscles and limbs. The stomach mainly digests food.
Spleen and stomach are the main viscera for digesting food, and their meridians are interrelated to form an exterior-interior relationship. The stomach controls the reception and the spleen controls the transportation and transformation, and * * * completes the digestion, absorption and transportation of nutrients. When the stomach governs the descending, Shui Gu can descend, which is convenient for digestion and the spleen governs the ascending, and the subtle Shui Gu can spread to the whole body.
4, lung and large intestine:
The lungs are connected with trachea and larynx, and the nose is enlightened. The lung is a respiratory organ, whose main function is to control the qi of the whole body. If the lung function is normal, the airway is unobstructed and breathing is even and harmonious. If lung qi is insufficient, there will be symptoms of general weakness such as weakened breathing, fatigue, shortness of breath and spontaneous sweating. Lung governs descending, dredging channels and collaterals, excreting bladder channels, and keeping urine unobstructed.
The main function of the large intestine is to absorb water and excrete the trough.
The lung and large intestine form an exterior-interior relationship. The conduction of large intestine depends on the decrease of lung qi, which leads to normal stool conduction and smooth stool discharge. If the large intestine stagnates, it will in turn affect the decline of lung qi.
5, kidney and bladder:
The main function of the kidney is to store sperm. One is the essence belonging to parents, called congenital essence, which is the basis of human reproductive development. First, Shui Gu's essence from the spleen and stomach, called acquired essence, is the material basis for maintaining human life activities.
Kidney hides the fire of life gate, and the fire of life gate is insufficient, which often leads to yang deficiency and various diseases. Kidney governs water, bone and marrow, which is closely related to human reproduction, growth and development, aging and water-liquid metabolism.
The main function of bladder is to store urine and urinate. The micturition function of bladder is closely related to the rise and fall of kidney qi. Sufficient kidney qi can secrete urine into the bladder and excrete it in time. If the forceps can't be fixed due to deficiency of kidney-qi, frequent micturition, enuresis or urinary incontinence will occur; if the kidney-deficiency can't be gasified, there will be dysuria or dysuria.
The kidney is divided into two parts, which form the exterior and interior with the bladder.
