Five flavors and five internal organs 1. Sour food can enhance digestion and protect the liver. Regular consumption can not only help digestion and kill hungry bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, but also prevent colds, lower blood pressure and soften blood vessels. Sour plum, pomegranate, tomato, hawthorn and orange all contain vitamin C, which can prevent cancer, aging and arteriosclerosis. 2, bitter: There is a saying in ancient times that good medicine tastes bitter. Chinese medicine believes that bitter food can drain, dry and strengthen yin, and has the effect of dehumidification and diuresis. Such as orange peel, bitter almond, bitter gourd, lily, etc. Eating regularly can prevent toxin accumulation and prevent all kinds of sores. 3, sweet into the spleen: sweet food can replenish qi and blood, supplement calories, relieve fatigue, detoxify the stomach, and have the effect of stopping spasm. Such as brown sugar, longan meat, honey, rice flour food, etc. , are good choices for sweets. 4, spicy into the lungs: Chinese medicine believes that spicy food has the effect of sweating and regulating qi. People often eat onions, ginger, garlic, peppers, peppers, which are spicy foods. These foods can protect blood vessels, regulate qi and blood, and dredge meridians. If eaten regularly, it can prevent colds and colds, but people suffering from hemorrhoids, constipation and kidney meridian weakness should not eat it. 5, salty into the kidney: salty is the crown of five flavors, never tired of eating. Chinese medicine believes that salty food can regulate the penetration of human cells and blood and maintain normal metabolism. Salty taste has the functions of catharsis, softening and resolving hard mass, nourishing yin and nourishing blood. Such as salt, kelp, seaweed, jellyfish, etc., are all high-quality salty foods. Four, five-color five-zang organs 1, liver color green: suitable for eating brown rice, beef, dates, sunflower; Blue should be liver color, so if you want to be ruddy, you should not be a vegetarian. 2, heart red: should eat red beans, dog meat, plums, leeks; Red should be the heart, so if you want peach blossoms, you can supplement foods rich in vitamin C, such as tomatoes, oranges and red apples. 3, white lungs: suitable for eating wheat, mutton, apricots, leeks; White lung, want to skin whitening, can often eat food rich in protein, such as soybean milk, milk and so on. 4, spleen color yellow: suitable for eating soybeans and chestnuts; Yellow is supposed to strengthen the spleen, so people with dark skin can supplement yellow and sweet foods, such as carrots and egg yolks. 5, kidney color black: suitable for eating muscles, peaches, onions; Black should be kidney, so people with darker skin color should eat less food with too much pigment. Five, the five senses and five zang organs 1, the nose is the official of the lung. The shape of the nose is mainly stomach gas, and the nostrils are mainly lung gas. Therefore, the lung opens in the nose, and the nose is the official of the lung. As long as people's lungs are sick, they will first appear on the nose. The nose mentioned here mainly refers to the inside of the nostrils, and lung heat causes the nostrils to exhaust thick heat; Cold lung chills nostrils. For example, if a person has lung disease, he will have symptoms of wheezing and nasal distension. 2, the purpose is to open the liver to the eye, and liver disease will appear in the eye. People with liver disease usually have blue eyes. If the child is frightened, blue veins or bruises often appear on the bridge of the nose, which is also related to the liver. In the combination of five colors and five zang-organs in TCM, the liver governs cyan. This cyan is not the green grass we usually see, but a pale color. The liver is born of kidney water, and the color of pale is a transitional color between black and cyan. By the way, a problem: if people don't keep in good health in winter, they won't grow up in spring and get sick. Therefore, understanding the corresponding relationship between color and viscera is beneficial to health care, and you can judge your physical condition by observing the change of complexion. 3. The lips are the official of the spleen. The spleen opens in the mouth, and the lips are the official of the spleen. People with spleen diseases will have symptoms such as yellow lips or yellow lips, peeling lips, bleeding, etc. These are all caused by excessive dryness and fire in Yangming. 4. The tongue is the heart officer, and the tongue is the heart officer. When the heart is sick, there are usually symptoms such as tongue inflexibility and tongue bending. A slip of the tongue, often saying the wrong thing, is also a sign of weakness. In Huangdi Neijing, there are people with heart disease, tongue rolling and red cheekbones. Blushing of cheekbones means that if the heart is sick, this part of the cheekbones will be red. Besides cheekbones, we should also pay attention to Tang Yin in our daily life, because heart disease will also show up in Tang Yin. Tang Yin is between his eyebrows. If it suddenly turns red here, the pattern is like snuff, which is a sign that the mind will be scattered. We should be very careful. This is the so-called "wealth is at stake" and there may be serious diseases. It is not a good thing that Tang Yin is black. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it is equivalent to water and gas, that is, too much kidney water and too weak heart fire. As soon as the kidney water comes up, the function of heart fire can't be played out. This is also a very dangerous signal. We should be careful about the color changes in Tang Yin in our daily life. 5, the ear is the official of the kidney. Any disease of the ear is related to the kidney. There is a saying in Huangdi Neijing that "the kidney opens to the ear". Patients with kidney disease will have symptoms of deafness and tinnitus. The five senses can be distinguished by five flavors, five colors and five tones. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the five senses are closely related to the viscera. By understanding the pathological changes of the five internal organs, we can find the pathological changes of the five internal organs hidden in the body, so we should always pay attention to the changes of the five internal organs in order to pay attention to the related five internal organs. Specific to the five senses of health care methods, very simple: often close your eyes to rest; Talk less and nourish your heart; Breathe smoothly and moisten the lungs; Eat more delicious food and raise your mouth; Don't make trouble, don't listen to indecent assault, and erect your ears. Six, five emotions and five internal organs 1, the heart is happy, the heart is happy, indicating that the physiological function of the heart and mental emotions are related to happiness. "Su Wen? "On Giving Pain" said: "Happiness means ambition, while camp benefits. "The process of joy is like the release of human energy (mental energy and body energy). The released energy will form motivation, launch new mental activities, dominate physical vitality and create new achievements. For example, it can improve the vitality of the brain and the whole nervous system, give full play to the potential of the body, improve the efficiency and endurance of mental and physical labor, and make people feel full of fun and confidence in life and work, so as to act easily, powerfully, quickly, accurately and energetically; It can strengthen the muscle movement of the heart and blood vessels, accelerate blood circulation and improve the level of metabolism; It can dilate the lungs, strengthen respiratory movement and increase vital capacity, which is beneficial to the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the lungs; It can strengthen the movement of digestive organs and increase the secretion of digestive juice, thus stimulating appetite, helping digestion and promoting metabolism.

2. "The liver is bent on anger"

Anger is a strong emotional response when people are stimulated by the outside world, and it is a bad emotional stimulus. Anger is most closely related to the liver, so it is called "the liver is angry with its will". On the one hand, great anger can damage the liver, leading to abnormal excretion, hyperactivity of liver qi, blood rushing with qi, red eyes, upset and irritable, and even vomiting blood, bleeding, sudden fainting and unconsciousness. On the other hand, if the liver is not excreted smoothly, it will also cause emotional disorders, which are manifested as emotional instability, upset and irritability.

3. "Spleen is determined to think"

The ambition of the spleen lies in thinking. Thinking, that is, thinking and thinking, is a state of human conscious thinking activities. People's thinking and emotional activities are mainly expressed through the spleen. Thinking is a highly concentrated and thoughtful emotion. When people indulge in thinking or anxiety, they tend to eat tasteless and lose their appetite. Some women may suffer from less menstrual flow and menstrual disorder due to intense work and high concentration of thoughts, which is consistent with the function of spleen in controlling blood.

4. "Acute lung is sad (sad)"

After careful observation and analysis of sad patients, ancient doctors found that the lung is the main organ to express people's sadness and sadness. When people cry because of sadness, they will cry bitterly, which is mucus secreted by the lungs. When people cry, their lungs are full of qi, mucus secretion increases, and the lungs begin to understand the nose, so tears flow out of the nose. Lung governs qi, and qi governs sound. Sorrow and crying can also lead to hoarseness and shortness of breath. Lung governs fur, so sorrow will increase facial wrinkles.

5. "The kidney takes fear as its purpose"

Fear is the ambition of the kidney, which is the main organ for people to express fear. Fear is a psychological state in which people are afraid of things, and it is a bad stimulus to physical and physiological activities. "Su Wen? The theory of giving pain says: "fear leads to anger, shock leads to chaos." "In other words, the stimulation of panic will have a bad influence on the movement of qi in the body." "Fear-induced qi stagnation" means that when people are in a state of fear, the qi in the upper jiao is blocked, and the qi can be forced to the lower jiao, then the lower jiao will be full and even enuresis. "Astonishing leads to confusion of qi" refers to the normal physiological activities of the body, which can cause temporary disorder due to panic, resulting in inattention and confusion. Five zang-organs in the seventh and fifth seasons 1, and spring should be supplemented: in spring, yang is born, the earth recovers, and everything grows upward. It should be used in the liver. According to the characteristics of spring, mulberry leaves, chrysanthemum, ginger and other products are selected to fully mobilize the human yang and harmonize qi and blood. 2, Xia Yiqing tonic: summer is hot, fire and evil are flourishing, and everything is thriving. It should be heart-oriented. According to the full qi and blood of human viscera in summer, light and heat-clearing products such as honeysuckle, lotus leaf and lotus seed are used to regulate yin, Yang Qi and blood of human body. 3, long summer should be lightly supplemented: long summer in summer and autumn, the weather is hot, low humidity and steaming, wet and hot intertwined. Spleen should be supplemented, and products such as adzuki bean, mung bean and agastache should be used to promote diuresis and strengthen the spleen, so as to achieve qi and blood biochemistry. 4, autumn should be cool tonic: autumn yang convergence, yin growth, dry climate. At this time, the five internal organs have just recovered from the vigorous metabolism in summer. In summer, lily, black sesame and other products should be used to nourish yin and promote fluid production to regulate visceral dysfunction. 5, winter should be warmed up: winter weather is cold, yang is deep, and kidneys should be used. At this time, according to the characteristics of winter storage, longan, walnut kernel and donkey-hide gelatin should be used to nourish the deficiency of qi and blood, which is the vitality of viscera and adapts to the changes of nature. Eight, five fluids and five secretions or excretions of the five internal organs, such as sweat, nose, tears, saliva, saliva, etc., are called five fluids. Five fluids are formed by five internal organs, namely, the heart is sweat, the lungs are tears, the liver is tears, the spleen is saliva, and the kidney is saliva. Five fluids are produced by five internal organs and belong to five internal organs, so they are called five fluids of five internal organs. Five fluids belong to the category of body fluids, all of which are produced by body fluids and distributed in the five organs, and play a role in nourishing, moistening and regulating the metabolism of body fluids. Metaplasia, transport and excretion of five fluids are all completed in the process of body fluid gasification, which is the result of the comprehensive action of multiple organs, especially lung, spleen and kidney. However, the five zang-organs are the core of the theory of Tibetan images, so sweat, snot, tears, saliva and saliva belong to the five zang-organs. Therefore, "a person's whole body, including runny nose, tears, saliva, spitting and defecation, belongs to the melting of water and originates from nine orifices" (Query Record). "Sweat and urine are both body fluids (essays on reading medicine, theory of qi and blood spirit). The relationship between five zang-organs and five fluids is the unity of overall regulation and local regulation in the process of body fluid metabolism. 1. Sweat is the fluid of the heart: What is sweat? "Yang is added to Yin, which means sweat" (Su Wen Yin and Yang) "Yang" refers to the yin and yang in the human body "refers to the vaginal fluid in the body. The so-called "Yang entering Yin leads to sweat" refers to the liquid discharged from Fu Xuan after the body fluid is evaporated by Yang's transpiration. The secretion and excretion of sweat also depend on the opening and closing of acupoints by Wei Qi. Once opened, sweat will be excreted; If you are closed, you will have no sweat. Because sweat is transformed from body fluid, and blood and body fluid come from the same source, there is a saying that sweat and blood are homologous. Blood is dominated by the heart, sweat is the liquid of blood, and gasification is sweat, so it is called "sweat is the liquid of the heart". As Li Zhongzi said, "The heart hides blood and emits sweat, and the sweat also brings the liquid of the heart" (sweat is a must for doctors). Because sweat is closely related to blood and physiology, it also affects each other pathologically. As far as the relationship between sweat and blood is concerned, excessive sweating will consume blood and damage body fluids. On the contrary, body fluid is deficient in blood and the source of sweat is insufficient. Therefore, sweating drugs should be used with caution when blood deficiency occurs in clinic. This is the truth that "those who take blood have no sweat and those who sweat have no blood". As far as the relationship between sweat and heart is concerned, palpitation can be seen as excessive sweating, which consumes qi and blood. Because sweating is the result of evaporation of body fluid from yang, sweating will also hurt people's yang, leading to the danger of sweating out of yang and death. On the other hand, when qi and blood are insufficient, it will also cause pathological sweating, such as insufficient heart-qi, unstable exterior and defensive self-sweating, etc. Yin deficiency of the heart, night sweats due to yang failing to converge yin. 2. Snuff is the liquid of the lungs: Snuff is the mucus secreted by the nose, which has the effect of moistening the nose. The nose is the opening of the lungs, the five internal organs are body fluids, and the lungs are snot. When the physiological function of the lung is normal, nasal mucus moistens the nasal orifice without outflow. If the lungs feel cold, the nose will run clear; Wind-heat in the lungs and turbid nose; If the lungs are dry, there is little or no runny nose. 3. Saliva is the liquid of the spleen: saliva is the body fluid, and the thinner saliva is called saliva: saliva has the function of protecting and cleaning the mouth. When eating, saliva is secreted more, food can be moistened and dissolved, and it is easy to swallow and digest. Under normal circumstances, saliva will go up to the mouth, but it will not spill out of the mouth. If the spleen and stomach are not harmonious, it will often lead to a sharp increase in saliva secretion, and saliva will automatically come out, so spleen is saliva in body fluid. 4. Tears are the liquid of the liver: when the liver opens its eyes, tears come out of them. Tears can nourish and protect eyes. Under normal circumstances, the secretion of tears is moist and will not overflow, but when foreign bodies invade the eyes, tears can be secreted in large quantities, which plays the role of cleaning the eyes and excluding foreign bodies. In the pathological state, abnormal tear secretion can be seen. For example, the yin and blood of the liver are insufficient, the secretion of tears is reduced, and the eyes are often dry; For example, the eyes are red with wind and fire, and the liver meridian is damp and hot, which is manifested as an increase in eye carbuncle and tears in the wind. In addition, in the case of extreme sadness, the secretion of tears can be greatly increased. 5. Saliva is the liquid of the kidney: saliva and saliva are both oral liquids, that is, saliva. The thicker is saliva, and the thinner is saliva. The body fluid of the spleen is saliva while the body fluid of the kidney is saliva: saliva not only moistens and dissolves food, making it easy to swallow, but also cleans and protects the mouth and nourishes kidney essence: because saliva is transformed from kidney essence, it is more or longer. It is easy to consume kidney essence, so Qigong often swallows saliva to nourish kidney essence.
