Under the guidance of ancient saints, they were all called virtual evil thieves, sometimes avoiding them, being indifferent, obeying the true qi, hiding the spirit inside, and preventing diseases.

-Huangdi Neijing

In Huangdi Neijing, it is clearly put forward that we should pay attention to both internal and external health preservation rules in preventing diseases: in the body, we should avoid evil spirits and thieves; In your heart, you should be calm and empty, and hide your spirit inside.

Many times, we only see one person's emotions. He is angry, crying, helpless, annoyed, happy and excited ... but we don't go into the content of his emotions.

Emotion is a comprehensive product of one's growth environment, family environment, social cognition, life cognition and one's own physique. The occurrence of most diseases is inseparable from emotions.

Too much desire from the outside world, ignoring the internal defense of the spirit, will lead to various emotional ups and downs.

Chinese medicine is good for treating emotional diseases!

Wang Yangming emphasized the unity of knowledge and action. He once wrote a poem: "Everyone has his own needle, and the root of everything is always in his heart. But I looked down with a smile and found it outside the branches and leaves. This sentence is used to describe all kinds of people who are confused by troubles.

When I treat emotional diseases and depression in clinic, I communicate with patients more and listen to the root of their inner troubles.

Through years of clinical experience, I found that most patients with emotional disorders have a common phenomenon, that is, the acquired cognitive values brought by the educational environment and growth environment of the family have a direct conflict with people's own nature, which leads to emotional collapse.

Traditional Chinese medicine has its own unique methods in the diagnosis and treatment of emotional diseases and depression.

Huangdi Neijing said: "Happiness is painful, and acupuncture is the cure; If the shape is not enough, then make the taste. In other words, when a person has no physical problems and emotional problems at the physical level, acupuncture is used to reconcile qi and blood and dredge meridians for treatment; When a person's qi and blood loss is serious, which leads to depression, he is treated with decoction to replenish qi and blood.

Below, I will share two cases of using acupuncture to treat emotional diseases.

Joy can cause mental excitement, mood and qi stagnation.

Patient, female, 16 years old, sophomore, diagnosed with depression for three years. When I first entered the clinic, my father took her into the clinic, only to see the child with messy hair, dark face and dull eyes.

After the child came, I began to ask her what was wrong. She told me that she had a particularly bad sleep and it was difficult for her to fall asleep. Then I began to feel her pulse. The overall pulse was thin and astringent, especially the left inch heart pulse. I asked her softly, "Is there anything unhappy?" 」

She hung her head, faltered, and was embarrassed to speak. I understood, so I asked the father next to the child to go out and avoid it first. Then, I said that now you can talk, and I will accompany you to interpret your emotional troubles. The child's tears suddenly fell down, and he spoke three very troublesome questions in his heart:

The first one: because my mother has been suffering from stomach trouble for more than ten years, she is in poor health and has been recuperating at home for a long time. Every time I think about my mother's illness, I feel particularly uncomfortable. Then, because my mother was ill, my father shouldered the burden of the family alone, and his mood occasionally fluctuated, causing some quarrels.

Second: I have a very good relationship with my grandmother since I was a child. Later, due to academic reasons and family reasons, I couldn't accompany my grandmother before she died. This is very regrettable. Now I often think of my grandmother, and every time I think of her, I feel particularly guilty and miserable.

Third: when getting along with classmates at school, there are few playmates; Because I think the classmates around me are particularly naive.

After listening to these reasons, I began to share them with her:

First of all, the concern and worry about your mother's health reflected in your relationship with your parents comes from the fact that you have a kind heart in your heart, and it is natural and normal to care for your mother. My father is very tired to manage his family business, and he lacks someone to talk to. He sometimes complains or is emotional, and can be tolerant and understanding.

Secondly, in the case of grandma's death, you bear the guilt of not being with her; Now that grandma has passed away, you miss her very much and want to meet her. In fact, your "heart" has been seen. Grandma will want you to be happy, too.

Finally, in the relationship with classmates, the so-called "gentlemen are harmonious but different", you feel that the people around you are naive, which shows that you are more conscious and that you are good at thinking; But when you get along with people around you, you should understand the word "tolerance is great". You can communicate with them according to their hobbies, but you can still maintain your inner independence.

Of course, from a higher level, "you think people around you are naive" and "people around you think you are eccentric" are actually the same truth. So, learn to be harmonious and different.

With the progress of "speech therapy", I saw that she gradually developed a frowning brow. She asked me again, "Then I still can't change my parents' anxiety in my home. What should I do? 」

I said: If there is no light in this world, then you can turn into light to illuminate them.

Later, I gave my child a prescription for clearing heart and nourishing blood for a week and took her to the treatment room for acupuncture. When the child was lying in the consulting room, he suddenly became particularly nervous and said that he was afraid of acupuncture.

At this time, I found the acupuncture point blocked by her body. I first stuck a needle in Sanyinjiao and began to say to her: Are you afraid of acupuncture? Are you afraid of any animals? She said she was afraid of snakes; I said again: Are you afraid of tigers? "Wow." I learned a tiger bark and said, "We have a tiger. I'll bring it to you later. 」

At this point, the child smiled and smiled happily. At the end of the treatment, the child said that the acupoints of the body had obvious feelings and the blood flow seemed to pass.

Qi and blood flow in the human body, just like the flowing water of nature. I happened to observe the running water drilling into a cave and the running water hovering in the cave, and suddenly realized the mystery of acupuncture and moxibustion, which should follow the direction of qi and blood running in the small Sunday and the big Sunday of the human body.

Before leaving, I taught the children how to sit still, guided them and told them to stick to it day by day.

After seeing a doctor for one month, the child reported that the quality of sleep had been greatly improved. When I came to see a doctor for the third time, I already saw the child's face bright and smiling happily. At that time, she also brought her parents to see a doctor, and their parents were recovering.

Finally, while my parents were present, I said to them: You should learn from your children now. Look how happy and beautiful she is smiling now.

Happiness is slow, and a positive and optimistic attitude is a key to cure emotional diseases.

People have seven emotions, and each emotion has different effects on the body. For example, panic, the frightened person is Yang, who enters from the outside; Fear is yin, from the inside out. If you are surprised, you don't know; Fear, self-knowledge Foot shaoyang gallbladder meridian belongs to wood, the courageous dare to do it, and the timid will be afraid.

Let's take a look at a strange disease caused by fright, and how I treated it with acupuncture.

When you are shocked, you will be calm.

-skillfully using acupuncture to treat emotional strange diseases

At the end of 2020, I went to Shenzhen for a round trip, which coincided with the invitation of friends to exchange knowledge of Chinese medicine and music.

On that day, there were six people at a table. After greeting, a man sitting next to me began to say, I just finished all kinds of physical examinations of western medicine. I wonder how Chinese medicine diagnoses diseases.

At this time, I said, "Chinese medicine diagnoses diseases by observing, listening and asking questions, and exploring the ups and downs of human qi, blood and viscera and the location of diseases and pathogens." For example, your lips are chapped and red, and there is red blood in the corner of your eye, which shows that you are always full of enthusiasm; The wife around you has eye bags under her eyelids and a purse behind her neck, which is caused by phlegm-dampness trapping the spleen, because in the main spine of the spleen, after spleen-dampness trapping the meridians, Yang can't grow up, and the back spine is trapped by phlegm-dampness and yin, and over time, a purse appears; The lady sitting next to your wife is a typical disharmony between liver and spleen, and her mood is easy to be anxious, because her nose is dark in color and belongs to the spleen, indicating that her temper is stagnant and she is not relaxed. 」

When I said this, everyone nodded yes.

The man next to him immediately asked a question: "To tell you the truth, Dr. Xu, I really have a bad liver and gallbladder. I have a strange disease, which has followed me for twenty years, and I can't see anywhere clearly. Twenty years ago, due to special work reasons, important documents must be carried with you and must not be mistaken. Once, my assistant called me and told me that an important document was missing. I was shocked and nervous at that time. Since then, every time I get off the bus, as soon as I hear the door ring, I still have to look back to see if the door is closed. I wonder what you can do. 」

At this time, I said that I had just learned the knowledge of five-tone therapy recently, and I knew a little, so I might as well give it a try.

I told him that shock belongs to yang, from outside to inside; Fear is yin, born from the inside. Being scared is an accident, because you don't know; Fear is self-conscious.

Foot shaoyang gallbladder meridian belongs to wood, and bravery is brave. Fear is caused by bile damage.

So, I began to feel his pulse, and then asked him if his left Sun Moon acupoint hurt badly. He nodded. Later, I told the others to keep quiet and let the man sit on a high wooden stool.

First, give him acupuncture at Sun Moon Point, Taixi Point and other blocked points, tell him to close his eyes and rest, and let him imagine the panic scene when closing the car door. At this time, I took out the bamboo board for tea borrowed from my friend earlier and slammed it at the bottom of the high stool. Suddenly, the man got a cold war, his palms began to sweat, and his body began to heat up gradually.

Subsequently, I knocked on the patient's back, front, left and right with a wooden board several times in a row.

The patient began to describe his feelings and said, "Now I feel that there is an air column downward from the left Sun Moon point and an air column upward from the ankle Taixi point, which makes people feel particularly comfortable and the body begins to sweat slightly. 」

People nearby asked curiously, "What kind of treatment is this? 」

So, I told them: "This is the application of acupuncture five-tone therapy in Huangdi Neijing. After bravery is injured by panic, the spirit will be higher and higher. After acupuncture, the patient's spirit will be adducted. Knocking on the table from below at this time will make the patient's mind look down. The wooden sound of Huangdi Neijing is in the liver and gallbladder, so the sound of knocking and hitting with bamboo boards can recover the spirit of going to Vietnam. Then tap in all directions of the body to make the panicked person adapt to this sound, and the breathing will calm down. Calm down is to adapt as usual, so that he won't panic when he meets again. 」

Finally, I told the patient to kneel for a month, half an hour a day, to consolidate the curative effect.

Understand the emotional roots, mind and body in tune.

After years of clinical exploration, I have recently summed up some experiences to share with you:

See clearly, listen clearly, ask clearly,

Examine the joys and sorrows of the sick body;

Distinguish cold and heat deficiency from excess according to meridians,

Eliminating pathogenic factors and acupuncture.

Guide qi and blood meridians,

Sit still and concentrate.

Exercise strong muscles and bones outdoors,

Cultivate the will of the soul from the heart.

In the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, we should find out the attributes and causes of diseases by looking, listening and asking questions; Observe the patient's mood, understand the root behind the mood, and give generous guidance; Through the diagnosis information, locate the meridian parts of the disease, as well as the cold and heat deficiency and excess of the disease; Then, with the help of acupuncture, moxibustion, Bian Shi, traditional Chinese medicine and other means, according to the cause, appropriate methods are adopted to adjust and treat; In addition to diagnosis and treatment, teach patients to learn to guide movements to consolidate exercise and strengthen the patency of qi, blood and meridians; Instruct patients to practice meditation, maintain mental state and maintain vitality.

In this way, patients themselves can master a set of Chinese medicine health preservation methods, and it is also very interesting to recuperate their bodies every day.
