Forgetfulness: forgetfulness refers to a state of memory loss and forgetfulness. Analysis of forgetfulness in traditional Chinese medicine shows that after backache, lumbago and mental fatigue are aggravated-kidney essence deficiency, qi stagnation and insomnia, or with upset, palpitation, backache-heart-kidney disharmony-Jiaotai Pill coughs up a lot of phlegm, accompanied by dizziness, heaviness-------phlegm dampness resistance-- Forgetful people have normal intelligence, but they are good at forgetting the preface or the past. They belong to people with normal memory before forgetfulness. Forgetfulness is generally caused by various reasons, such as deficiency of kidney essence or deficiency of qi and blood. Huangdi Neijing said: "The upper qi is insufficient, and the lower qi is more than enough. Stomach is full, heart and lungs are weak. If it is weak, the camp guards will stay in the next place. After a long time, just forget it. " This passage means that (for various reasons) people have insufficient upper qi (the qi of fingers and heart and lungs) and excessive lower qi (abdomen), which accumulates in the gastrointestinal tract. After the heart and lung qi is weak, you can't send it to your head. After a long time, forgetfulness will appear. Huangdi Neijing said: "The mind has the meaning of remembering, the meaning of ambition, the thinking that changes with ambition, the yearning for thinking, and the wisdom of doing things." The modern explanation of this passage is that the heart governor receives external information, which is received by the heart and stored in the brain. This storage capacity is controlled by the kidney, and when it needs to be recalled, it is also recalled by the heart governor. All kinds of information are processed to form a certain analysis scheme, and the processing and analysis process is in charge of the spleen and stomach. The process of making a long-term plan based on the results of information processing and analysis is called "consideration" and is handled by "consideration". The memory of external information can be divided into three steps: information receiving, storage and recall. External information is received and called by the cardiac supervisor and stored by the renal supervisor. Therefore, the core of good or bad memory is in charge of the heart and kidney. Some people are looking at things with their eyes, as if they didn't see them; Listen to the sound with your ears, one ear goes in and the other ear goes out; You can't smell anything with your nose, and you can't tell the feeling of touching things with your hands. All of the above are the reasons why my heart's ability to receive external information has declined, and I need to replenish my heart and blood. If you consciously received this information and tried to remember it with your brain, you just couldn't remember it or recite it. This is the decline of the storage function of the kidney. It is generally believed that kidney essence is insufficient and needs to be supplemented to adjust. If people remember what happened at that time, they can't remember it afterwards. This type is most common among forgetful people. This is the function of the heart, and the key point is to strengthen the qi and blood function of the heart. There are too many forgetful people around us, whether they are old people or white-collar elites (white for short); Whether it is because of old age or physical weakness, or because of the excessive pressure of work and life, the physical foundation is seriously out of balance. Forgetfulness will seriously affect people's work life and social interaction, which requires us to attach great importance to and solve as soon as possible. When seeing a doctor in clinic, many elderly people often say: Alas, my memory is so bad now that I can't remember anything. I forgot what I said just now. I forgot what to do when I went out. I thought about what medicine to prescribe in the hospital before I went out, but I couldn't remember it when I got to the hospital. Dr. Xin, what medicine can improve my memory? I can't say for sure when I encounter such a problem, because the old people who come to see me are often over 60 years old. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, people over the age of 60 have all declined viscera functions, not only heart, liver and kidney functions are all deficient, but also qi and blood are insufficient, meridians are blocked, qi and blood are stagnant. In order to completely restore memory, we must improve the function of zang-fu organs and dredge the channels of qi and blood. I will prescribe some Chinese patent medicines for them, such as Wuzi Yanzong Pill or Ginseng Guipi Pill, and at the same time, I will mobilize them to do some acupuncture treatment to dredge the meridians and blood vessels, and then give them some dietotherapy methods. Forgetfulness is accompanied by backache and mental fatigue, which is aggravated after fatigue. If people are accompanied by backache and mental fatigue, they belong to kidney essence deficiency type, often accompanied by hair loss or dryness, loose teeth, or tinnitus and hearing loss, which can be adjusted by Wuzi Yanzong Pill. For the adjustment method of kidney essence deficiency, please refer to the previous sleepiness article. Amnesia with insomnia, or amnesia with upset, palpitation, backache, belongs to the type of heart-kidney disharmony. These people often have hot flashes or night sweats. The disharmony between heart and kidney means that the heart is full of fire, the kidney is deficient under water, and the upper and lower fire and water cannot be connected. The treatment method is to guide the heart fire and warm the kidney water, which can be adjusted by Jiaotai Pill or Huanglian Ejiao Decoction, a famous Chinese medicine prescription. Here is a small method of heart-kidney disharmony: sticking traditional Chinese medicine at Yongquan point on the foot. Specifically, 30-50g of Evodia rutaecarpa is bought from a Chinese medicine shop, mixed with vinegar, and then applied to Yongquan point on the foot; Or you can simply sew Evodia rutaecarpa on the insole trampled by your foot. When walking every day, Evodia rutaecarpa stimulates Yongquan point. If you persist in this way for a period of time, you will often have unexpected results. Zhang Xichun, a great doctor in modern China, introduced the wonderful method of Taoist communication between heart and kidney in his famous Record of Western Medical Enthusiasm. This method can communicate the heart and kidney, make the heart fire weak, the kidney yin empty, warm the whole body inside and outside, and can treat all kinds of insomnia, backache, lumbago, frequent urination, cold limbs and so on. The method is ingenious and the effect is magical, which reveals the secret of Taoist health preservation. The method is: after sitting on the plate, concentrate on breathing. When inhaling, the meditation gas rises from the lower coccyx along the Du meridian, and when exhaling, the meditation gas flows from the heart to the abdomen three inches below the navel. The key point to pay attention to is that you should not hyperventilate, and your body should not move with breathing. Instead, you should meditate, and your thoughts are between if and if, and your heart and kidney naturally intersect, and fire and water are ji ji. Forgetfulness is accompanied by excessive phlegm, dizziness and heavy body, and forgetfulness is prone to dizziness, lethargy, heavy body, or abdominal distension and chest tightness, which belongs to phlegm-dampness internal resistance type. Obesity can refer to the conditioning method of phlegm-dampness and spleen deficiency, and Xiangsha Liujunzi Granule can be used. Self-acupoint massage: Gongsun, Fenglong and Zusanli. Diet: pumpkin, coix seed, white radish, winter melon seeds, loofah, red bean carp soup. After fatigue, forgetfulness is aggravated, with pale nails and low blood color. If forgetful people are accompanied by shortness of breath, pale complexion and bloodless nails, they are prone to dizziness, insomnia or numbness in their hands and feet. It belongs to the deficiency of both qi and blood, and it needs to replenish the deficiency of heart, spleen and blood. Please refer to the article on biochemical deficiency of the spleen and stomach system, which can be adjusted with Ginseng Guipi Pill. If forgetfulness is accompanied by tingling in a certain part of the body, forgetfulness with blue face or lips, pain in the fixed position of the head or chest and abdomen, and blue color of the face, lips or nails, it belongs to the type of blood stasis, and the famous prescription of traditional Chinese medicine "Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction" can be used. Now there are proprietary Xuefu Zhuyu granules. The method of self-massage is to find the painful place and massage it repeatedly, then massage it in symmetrical positions up and down, such as left arm pain, left and right arm pain, head or neck pain, left and right head or neck in the same position, and then massage your feet or ankles (commonly known as ankles). If the above methods are not enough, you may have to spend more effort, beat the whole body the twelve meridians, and massage the whole abdomen and head every day, as long as you persevere. If forgetful people have the above-mentioned symptoms of deficiency (such as deficiency of kidney essence and qi) and phlegm-dampness or blood stasis, which problem should be solved first, and then which obstacle should be eliminated, which requires attention to the order of health preservation. The principle of health care is to dredge qi and blood first, and eliminate phlegm-dampness or blood stasis; Supplementing qi and blood or kidney essence.
