In Huangdi Neijing, an ancient Chinese medicine book, it was put forward that "the heart is in the face and the tongue is enlightened; The lungs open to the nose; Spleen opens in the mouth and brilliance in the lips; The liver began to understand the purpose; The kidney is enlightened in the ear, and its flowers are in the hair. "
This shows that the changes of the five senses fully reflect the health status of the five internal organs.
Knowledge of heart health care in traditional Chinese medicine
The health of the heart can be reflected in two aspects. One is the shape, color, elasticity and taste of the tongue. Chinese medicine believes that the tongue is the "seedling of the heart". Huangdi Neijing records that "the heart and qi communicate with the tongue, and the tongue knows five flavors when the heart is harmonious".
Especially in the tongue diagnosis, although the tongue diagnosis is very complicated, the tip of the tongue directly reflects the rise and fall of the heart and health.
Second, the luster of the face reflects the ups and downs of the heart and the lack of qi and blood.
Health care knowledge of spleen in traditional Chinese medicine
The change of lips reflects the health of spleen. Because the spleen and stomach are the "acquired foundation" and "the source of qi and blood metaplasia", the lips mainly reflect the rise and fall of qi and blood. If you have a healthy temper, full of blood and rosy lips; When the spleen loses health and qi and blood are insufficient, the lip color is light or yellow and dark; Delicious mouth, mostly spleen deficiency; Mouth and lips are sticky or sweet, mostly damp-heat in the spleen and stomach; Pan-oral syndrome leads to disharmony between liver and spleen; Lip swelling or ulceration, pain in the mouth, mostly spleen heat or spleen fire.
Traditional Chinese medicine health care knowledge of lung
The change of nose mainly reflects the state of lung resistance. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the lung is a delicate organ", so exogenous wind, cold, heat and humidity can affect the lung first. Nasal congestion and runny nose are mostly caused by wind-cold attacking the lungs or lung qi deficiency; Dry nose or frequent bleeding, mostly caused by yin deficiency and excessive fire or liver fire invading the lungs; Menstrual epistaxis is mostly caused by liver depression invading the lung or lung yin deficiency, all of which indicate the relationship between nose and lung.
Knowledge of TCM liver health care
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the normal physiological function of eyes depends on nourishing liver blood and soothing liver and regulating qi. If the liver and blood are deficient in nutrition, there will be symptoms such as dim eyes, blurred vision and night blindness, especially the decreased vision of the elderly, which are all manifestations of liver failure; The liver meridian is full of fire, and the eyes may have swelling and pain; Yin deficiency of liver and kidney may lead to dry eyes and dry eyes.
In addition, if the eye is deeply differentiated, the liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney also correspond to black eyeball, canthus, eyelid, white eyeball and white pupil respectively.
Knowledge of kidney health care in TCM
The kidney is related to hearing. Sufficient kidney qi and normal hearing. If deafness, tinnitus, hearing loss, and, all indicate that the function of the kidney has declined. Deafness in the elderly is also a manifestation of deficiency of kidney qi with age.
Kidney is related to the abundance and color of hair, and kidney is dense and black when it is full. If the hair is yellow and sparse, it is easy to fall off, mostly because of insufficient blood and essence, which is common in the initial recovery from a serious illness or chronic malnutrition; Adolescent gray hair can be divided into normal type and pathological type. Some people are born with "little white hair", which is related to the five senses of the kidney. If accompanied by tinnitus, backache and other symptoms, it is kidney deficiency. Hair loss is more common in middle-aged and elderly people. If there are no other symptoms, it is normal. If there are symptoms such as forgetfulness and weakness in the waist and knees, you need to pay attention to health care.
The above is to teach you how to distinguish the health status of the five internal organs through the five senses. Although the close combination of the five internal organs can guide health preservation, clinical diagnosis needs to be combined with other symptoms, and the disease cannot be determined only by a single manifestation. The best way to keep fit is to consult more professionals.
