The topic of what to eat may actually involve two answers: one is what food to eat and the other is what medicine to take. So today, we will answer this question for you. Originally, I didn't want to answer this question, because we know that many diseases actually have little to do with what we eat. What we eat may not make you better. Often we tell you what you can't eat, or don't eat like this. It's rare to eat this thing and still eat well.

There are some situations that have a certain auxiliary effect on the intake of nutritious food, and we will explain them in detail. But for this kind of "autonomic nervous dysfunction", this topic is really difficult to answer, but why do you have to answer it today? One is at the strong request of a friend, and the other is a patient we saw today. Let's take her for example. I recorded this passage that I answered for her, on the one hand, let her listen to it repeatedly, on the other hand, let our friends who have the same problem know what the principle is.

This woman flew all the way from other places to Beijing to find me. She just looked at "autonomic dysfunction". She also came to Beijing for treatment after reading what we explained before. Symptoms are also typical. What is this? I feel suffocated in my chest. I feel something blocking this place, pressing a stone, I can't breathe, I can't breathe at all, and I have a sense of dying and palpitation. When this happens, I will hold my breath immediately. People are also very thin and have deep eye sockets. The pain tormented her for a long time.

I said that your condition is a typical type of "autonomic nervous dysfunction", because it is also divided into many types, among which this type is called "new mass under the heart" in our ancient medical classification, and "new mass" means gas knot. When gas knot gathers here, this kind of mass suddenly gathers and disperses, sometimes obviously, sometimes inconspicuously, and even has the phenomenon of movement. Often when describing symptoms, the patient's own feelings are obvious, and it is difficult for doctors to detect and understand her changes.

You are really nothing, it feels normal, and it is not a feeling of hand swelling, but patients often describe it as uncomfortable and suffocating, and why do I say this part is typical? What is under the heart? Below the diaphragm is the stomach, so don't you say the stomach is swollen? It is not the phenomenon of qi stagnation in the stomach, but a place below the heart and above the stomach, that is, a place below the junction of our chest and sword and in the middle of the rib arch, which is blocked and polymerized.

If this position is called "under the heart", it must be related to the heart, so there are often cardiac symptoms such as arrhythmia, palpitation, shortness of breath and dying. At the same time, the patient will also have some symptoms of the stomach. Some changes in the stomach will lead to aggravation of the symptoms of the heart, such as "the heart governs the spirit", so there will also be symptoms such as irritability, anxiety, sleep disorder and sweating. Try to coax your heart into not sweating. So the heart and stomach are related, mainly the symptoms of the heart, but the stomach is its direct influencing factor.

You know, this kind of autonomic nerve we are talking about has a lot of nerve plexus gathered in the body. There are pulmonary plexus, cardiac plexus, cervical plexus, pelvic plexus and abdominal plexus in this nerve plexus, but there are cardiac plexus, gastric plexus and great blood vessels in this part.

This posture will cause symptoms immediately once it encounters certain stimulation. We say that this "autonomic nervous dysfunction" is actually a problem of balance and responsiveness to external stimuli, while the phenomenon of "flatulence in the heart" and gas knot in traditional Chinese medicine. It is a function, it is not like a solid, bloody thing, it is a change of an organ or a substance.

Qi is a function and a coordinated change, so this is the reason why Chinese medicine is full and real, full and annoying, solid and hard, and describes its severity, so we should pay special attention to what this kind of patient wants to eat.

Just like the patient just now, when she first came, I gave her a pair of medicine. We should know that in the treatment of Chinese medicine, we can use acupuncture or Chinese medicine, and there are many Chinese medicines that can have a good therapeutic effect on such problems.

So I thought, since people come from so far away, I will give her an injection, then prescribe a pair of Chinese medicine, take it for three days, and then give her a second injection three days later. Generally speaking, for this type of patient, because she is too sensitive, she overreacts to many external stimuli, which is a disorder beyond the scope of human adaptation. So generally speaking, if he is not because of the journey or time, I will ask the patient to be patient and only give you stimulation once a week, and my stimulation method is very gentle, which is different from ordinary stimulation methods. Then in such a stimulating process, acupuncture once a week, then taking Chinese medicine for a week, and then observing it again. Such a periodic treatment can achieve good results for most patients.

This patient's home is far away, and it will take several hours to fly here, so I will tell her once every three days, give her Chinese medicine for three days today, and then give her a second injection of Chinese medicine for three days, combining acupuncture and medicine. When she came for the second time, she told me, "After you tied it up, I could breathe to the end, and then my heart calmed down. I felt saved, but the night after I went back was fine. I ate Chinese medicine the next day. As a result, after eating this Chinese medicine, the symptom' screaming' came back. "

I think my prescription is ok, and many patients of this type are also using it. Why is there a problem? She said, "My stomach has been upset for a long time. My stomach is expensive. I can't eat this or that. "

Therefore, this patient is a long-term vegetarian with weak spleen and stomach function. I said, "Oh, I see. For others, this kind of stomach irritation is tolerable. For you, this kind of stimulation is unbearable. "

And we also know that this kind of Chinese medicine is eaten in the stomach after all, and it can only play a role if it is digested and absorbed in the stomach. There is something wrong with her stomach, so my good prescription doesn't work. Moreover, Chinese medicine is a bitter medicine soup after all. No matter how soft things are, they are uncomfortable after taking medicine. So I said, "Let's do this, no drugs, just needles."

So what should I remind you first here?

Many friends with autonomic nervous disorder are looking forward to the relief after taking medicine, but I found that many patients are not suitable for taking medicine. Even if you take medicine, you should try it out bit by bit, that is, this prescription should be measured less first. You see, we often see 20 kinds of medicines and 30 kinds of medicines prescribed outside. For this kind of patients, I usually write a small prescription, and the amount is also small, six grams, nine grams and ten grams, and take three pairs.

Even so, taking a pair of medicine for two days, we try to reduce the irritation to the gastrointestinal tract. Then let this slowly take effect, which is our requirement for the treatment of such patients, just like we use acupuncture treatment, once a week. You see a lot of acupuncture treatment, and I often ask you to stick to it every day. This kind of stimulation is absolutely forbidden. Not for these patients. After doing it, the symptoms are very obvious.

So we remember this secret with gentle stimulation. So you ask me what medicine to take? I really can't advise you, but I tell you to eat less. Even if we eat, we will eat less. So what food can help this? This patient asked me this topic today.

I told her, "We said that medicine has four flavors, and food is cold, hot and cold. What should we remember? " ? What is hot when it is not hot? Just pick it up and iron your lips. This is called heat. You have to blow to eat. This is called heat. What is cold? When you put ice on your teeth, it's called cold. If you don't eat this hot and cold, what should you eat? Intermediate state, warm in the middle, cool in the middle. You try to eat warm food, but in a certain season and in a certain physical state, you can eat something cold. "

Besides temperature, there is internal heat, which not only represents temperature, but also represents heat. For example, especially beef and mutton jerky. This kind of patients must be in this intermediate state to balance when we take medicine. So prescribe medicine for these patients. If you prescribe cold medicine once, the dose must be very small, a little, and then use other drugs as adjuvant treatment. Otherwise, most patients will feel very uncomfortable, so I will tell you this principle. As for what to eat can solve this problem, I can't answer, just say what to eat to avoid aggravating the problem and avoiding stimulation. Remember to eat warm food mainly, and add less cold food according to the situation, and the medicine should be as mild as possible.
