Yojiro Katayama asked: Women often suffer from cystitis when traveling. I think it's caused by fatigue. what do you think? A: Fatigue is indeed one of the factors; In addition, when traveling, it is not in a normal state, so it is easier to get excited, and the body will have inflammatory symptoms and try to achieve balance. From the point of view of body operation, the view that bacteria invade the human body is that "the cause comes from the outside"; From the perspective of autonomy, it is the human body that uses germs to appear inflammatory symptoms as soon as possible to achieve a balance. But the invasion of bacteria does not necessarily cause inflammation in the human body, such as the lungs. Obviously, there are not so many bacteria, but they are still inflamed and sometimes even turn into pneumonia. I recently heard that someone had symptoms of pneumonia. Although they are not attacked by too many germs, the inflammation is quite serious. However, the original mental symptoms of the parties have completely disappeared and recovered, and such similar cases are often seen. On the contrary, after getting old, physical strength gradually disappears. Although there are few symptoms of inflammation, bacteria will continue to spread in the lungs and sometimes die without fever. As long as steroid treatment is used, the symptoms of inflammation can be completely eliminated. So for a while, steroids were widely used to treat pneumonia, but it seems that there are also actual cases. Even if the inflammatory symptoms disappear, people will still die. "Inflammation" may still be fatal when the situation is too serious, but in general, inflammation is caused by immune response in the human body; If we look at the survival from the overall flow of essence, it will be because of the power of inflammation, that is, the human body achieves the balance of the overall essence through inflammation. Now that inflammation is mentioned, I'd like to tell you about atopic dermatitis and asthma. Ectopic eczema is an allergic symptom, and the number of patients has increased significantly. But if deliberately suppressed, it may develop into asthma. Therefore, dermatologists seem to have recently begun to think that it is better not to deliberately suppress it. If the balance of the body is achieved by the skin, it is the same as sweating mentioned above. Once eczema appears on the skin, the flow of the essence will become smooth and the release will be better. That is, eczema will appear because of its necessity.

Now that inflammation is mentioned, let me also talk about atopic dermatitis and asthma. Ectopic eczema is an allergic symptom, and the number of patients has increased significantly. But if deliberately suppressed, it may develop into asthma. Therefore, dermatologists seem to have recently begun to think that it is better not to deliberately suppress it. If the balance of the body is achieved by the skin, it is the same as sweating mentioned above. Once eczema appears on the skin, the flow of the essence will become smooth and the release will be better. That is, eczema will appear because of its necessity. If we think from the perspective of allergic symptoms, it is the idea that "there is an allergen in the world and the human body will react because of it". From the internal cause, it should be the need of human body to try to achieve body balance by responding to allergens. For example, let atopic dermatitis balance through the skin surface instead of developing into asthma. There was once a patient who had difficulty breathing because of allergies, that is, bronchial inflammation, but when eczema appeared on the skin, the symptoms gradually eased and recovered. In this case, it is necessary to balance the body through the skin or bronchus, and of course it is safer to balance through the skin. Even with atopic dermatitis, allergens can be eliminated by staying away, but if you become too neurotic, you will lose motivation because you care too much about allergens, and you will not be able to achieve balance by other methods. Generally speaking, people who suffer from atopic dermatitis after puberty are not only children, but also occur in parts invisible to the naked eye; But some cases only happen in the visible part, mostly because their consciousness is excessively concentrated in that part. Under natural circumstances, atopic dermatitis does not only appear in the visible parts of the eyes. Once consciousness is too concentrated in a certain part, it is more likely to appear on the face or hands, which are visible to the naked eye. However, it is only necessary to release the essence from the skin to achieve body balance. Because after the essence is released from the skin, there will be no eczema, and the flow of the essence is in a good state, and the body can achieve balance. So as long as the essence is released through breathing (please refer to the appendix), similar to the feeling of exhaling around the shoulders or legs, it will gradually become naturally released; In other words, as long as the essence is not blocked, there is no need for atopic dermatitis. From the balance of whole body essence, asthma belongs to the situation that energy is especially concentrated in the head, that is, essence only flows to the head, not to the legs. As far as body tightness is concerned, the shoulder or around the neck, especially when asthma attacks, is very tight, showing a state in which the scapula is pulled up. The spine feels the spine. It should be said that the spinous process of a vertebra seems to be lifted up or pulled up, and each vertebra is very open (please refer to the attached figure), which is the feeling. Therefore, when asthma attacks, even if you just gently touch your shoulder to relieve tension, your breathing will become smooth. As far as the overall balance is concerned, this method can make the essence flow to the legs and avoid concentrating on the head, which is helpful to relieve asthma symptoms, especially for infants. Once the baby has an asthma attack, you can't touch them. At this time, even if you don't have to touch them, just do something similar to gathering their essence on your leg, and your breathing will gradually become easier. If the child is in a bad mood, he will often haunt his mother, which is quite uncomfortable. However, as long as they are helped to improve the essence flowing to their legs, they will begin to play easily. Ectopic dermatitis is also caused by excessive concentration of body essence in the head. So basically, as long as the essence flows to the legs, the symptoms can be improved. Many children with asthma gradually get better in the process of practicing martial arts or swimming, which is also because they release the whole body energy through exercise and reduce the concentration of energy in the head. In addition, during exercise, if the energy center is not concentrated in the abdomen or the center of the abdomen, the human body cannot move smoothly. When energy is naturally concentrated in the abdomen or the center of the abdomen, the human body can achieve balance.
