"The Inner Diameter of the Emperor" says: "The sun is the sun, and if the sky and the sun are out of position, they will lose their lives."
The yang of the human body is like the sun in the sky. If there were no sun in the sky, there would be no life on the ground. If people have no yang, life will stop.
People who live long are often full of yang. On the other hand, if Yang loses its position, there is a danger of shortening life.
If the yang is sufficient, all diseases will disappear, and whether the body can resist the invasion of external evils is inseparable from the role of yang in keeping the outside world.
First, the three functions of human yang
1, biochemical function, the human body depends on yang to biochemical qi and blood, essence blood and body fluid;
2. Xuanhua, the qi, blood and body fluids of the human body are mainly transported by Yang;
3, the role of defense, Yang has the role of defense and defense, that is, to resist disease.
Second, how the yang is consumed.
Experts say that the spirit of the sun rises and falls regularly. In spring, the spirit of the sun begins to sprout, in summer, it reaches its limit, in autumn, it begins to converge, and in winter, it hides.
If one day is counted, it is quite spring and summer during the day and autumn and winter at night. In other words, every morning when we wake up and open our eyes, the yang in our body begins to grow. At noon, the spirit of the sun reaches its limit, and then gradually declines. At night, the yang enters the yin, but at night it hides, and people are ready to sleep.
The biological clock of human body actually runs according to the law of Yang.
1, work and rest disorder and sun be the spirit
Do you often feel sleepy when you wake up, no matter how long you sleep every day? This is because your biological clock disorder consumes your yang.
Work and rest time is contrary to the law of yang rising and falling, and yang consumption in the body is faster. Because you go to bed late, it's no use sleeping until noon.
2, overwork and yang loss
Strenuous exercise and overwork will also accelerate the loss of yang. The yang in the human body is dynamic, but when people do strenuous exercise, the yang will diverge outward.
The Huangdi Neijing said that "the yang is exhausted, and it is Zhang Tengyue's meaning". Traditional Chinese medicine advocates keeping in good health by quietness, especially when the yang is hidden in the evening and at night, strenuous exercise should be avoided.
3. Overeating leads to cold and yang deficiency.
Some people like cold drinks, but they tend to have loose bowels and feel unwell after eating them. In fact, this is also a manifestation of yang deficiency.
3. Moxibustion is the best way to tonify yang.
"Bian Que Shuxin" records: "Burning moxa first, Dan medicine second, aconite second."
Among them, burning moxa refers to moxibustion, which is the only subject with comprehensive physical and pharmacological effects among the five mainstream therapies of traditional Chinese medicine.
The near infrared ray released during moxibustion has a stronger regulating effect than the far infrared ray. 10-15 mm near infrared ray has stronger penetrating power, and it can transport the effective components in cigarettes to the three lesions of viscera.
After burning wormwood, its strength is stronger, and fire belongs to yang, so moxibustion is recognized as the most effective method to replenish yang in ancient and modern times.
Moxibustion, that is, moxibustion in acupuncture therapy of traditional Chinese medicine, is a treatment method that uses moxa heat produced by moxibustion materials made of folium Artemisiae Argyi to stimulate acupuncture points or specific parts on the body surface and regulate the physiological and biochemical functions of human body disorder by stimulating menstrual activities, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing diseases and treating diseases.
