According to Huangdi Neijing, people with qi stagnation are mostly people with yin deficiency and excessive fire and insufficient temper. Su Wen Yangming's Theory of Multi-effects of Ten Movements says: "Kidney stores essence, essence gives birth to essence, essence gives birth to blood, blood gives birth to subtle, essence gives birth to lung, and lung gives birth to liver". In other words, deficiency of kidney essence will lead to lung deficiency and excessive internal heat; Deficiency of spleen-qi caused by deficiency of essence and blood can further lead to liver depression and fire flourishing; The most direct result of the liver being affected is the weakening of temper; If the liver is depressed and qi stagnates, the blood circulation will be blocked, leading to the decline of heart function; If the heart is affected, it is easy to cause heart disease; If the kidney is obstructed, it will easily lead to renal insufficiency. Because people with qi stagnation are mostly people with yang deficiency or imbalance of yin and yang, it is necessary to adjust vital qi to improve spleen and stomach weakness, and you can choose to take Xiaoyao Pill or Jianpi Powder for conditioning.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that qi stagnation is caused by stagnation of liver qi. Loss of liver qi leads to qi stagnation, and qi stagnation and blood stasis aggravate the burden on the liver. Therefore, people with liver qi stagnation often feel chest tightness, depression, inattention and other manifestations of liver disease, so we should pay attention to soothing the liver and regulating qi in our daily diet. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that people with depressed qi are often accompanied by uncomfortable mood, easy to be sad, and have poor sleep. They should eat more foods and drugs with the function of soothing the liver and regulating qi, such as Yujin, Trogopterori and Hawthorn. In daily life, we should also pay attention to emotional adjustment and maintain an optimistic and open-minded attitude.
People with qi stagnation should try to avoid bad stimulation and pay attention to the combination of work and rest. People with qi stagnation can take part in more physical exercises, such as walking, Tai Ji Chuan and Wuqinxi. People with qi stagnation should be fully prepared before exercise and do some simple physical activities in the morning or before going to bed. Getting ready before exercise is helpful to maintain mental pleasure and eliminate tension and fatigue; Do a good job of physical recovery and relaxation after exercise, and promote blood circulation and metabolism. Exercise should be gradual, not too hasty.
People with depressed physique should be conditioned according to their personal physique and actual situation. It is suggested to do more exercises and methods to relax your mind, and not to live and work in a depressed state for a long time. You can listen to more music, watch comedies and take part in physical exercise. Eat more foods that disperse Yang Qi and have the effects of soothing the liver and regulating qi. Such as angelica, dried tangerine peel, bergamot, tuckahoe and the like.
