Before, there was an old gentleman who was young and over 60 years old, but he looked very old, mainly hunched over and walked slowly. He has to wear long clothes and trousers when it is hot, and he dare not see it when it is cold. What's wrong with you coming to see a doctor? Is his back, always feel cold, especially the lumbosacral upward, to the horizontal line at the bottom corner of the scapula, unspeakable cold pain, sour, especially difficult to straighten up, and the limbs are not warm, weak, and feel tight.
He thinks this is a normal phenomenon when people are old. But a week later, the situation deteriorated and the cold pain in the lower back was obvious. In addition, frequent urination in the middle of the night, and sometimes even enuresis. This made him very upset. At that time, his pulse was tight, his tongue coating was white and greasy, and his tongue was light and fat.
In fact, the problem of this old man is more common in many of us now. He belongs to cold and dampness, which hurts liver and kidney.
Look at him, his limbs are not warm, his waist is cold and painful, and his tongue pulse is combined, which belongs to cold and dampness blocking arthralgia. The evil of cold and dampness will damage liver and kidney for a long time. Our spine is where the Du Meridian passes. Kidney yang is injured by cold and dampness, so the Du meridian is deficient and the spine is dystrophy. The result is hunchback, cold waist, chills in the back, stiff joints in the upper and lower parts of the body, unfavorable flexion and extension, soreness and weakness. Therefore, the old man's back is cold, which is a portrayal of cold and dampness hurting Yang.
In fact, such old people are everywhere in our lives. Most of them walk with small steps forward, hunched over, long-term stiff joints, wearing thick clothes all the year round, weak waist and knees, sore joints and cold limbs. What should such a person do? It is necessary to tonify the yang and drive away the cold evil.
Yang-qi, like the sun in the sky, is powerful, the foundation of life, and the key to coordinating yin and yang, ensuring health and longevity, and resisting the invasion of diseases and pathogens. If the yang is not solid, it will lead to "dislocation" and short life. The essence of treating diseases and preserving health is to stimulate and protect yang. It is the lack of yang that leads to one kind or another of health problems.
Dou Cai, a famous doctor in Song Dynasty, advocated supporting Yang in Xin Shu. He believes that there are three ways to help Yang since ancient times: one is burning wormwood, the other is Dan medicine, and the third is aconite. Of course, there is also Chinese medicine conditioning, especially when it is freezing now. Maybe how many old friends will be troubled by cold evil. Therefore, yang should be nourished as soon as possible. It is like a fire, which can melt cold and dampness and make our bodies warm.
