The application of the five elements theory in life The five elements theory of traditional Chinese medicine was summed up by ancestors from the lives of ordinary people. We should use the theory of five elements to preserve our health. For example, some people with spleen deficiency are called people with spleen deficiency. How do people with spleen deficiency protect the spleen? Let it not age, ancestors told us that the spleen of traditional Chinese medicine is in the five elements, the main soil and the spleen soil. Of the five colors, the spleen is yellow and the main color is yellow. In your life, you should eat the yellow substance coming out of the soil, which will definitely strengthen the spleen. How great our ancestors were, this is called the theory of seeking the same gas. What should people with spleen deficiency eat? Potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams and taro are all yellow substances that come out of the soil. Don't eat black substances from the soil, and don't strengthen the spleen. Yellow substance strengthens the spleen, which is very interesting. The above are some concrete methods of health care and longevity put forward by using the theory of five elements in daily life. Similarly, you kidney is not good, I will eat everything black on the table to ensure my kidneys. Drink more black rice porridge and eat more black fungus, our black beans and long black beans. You stir-fry in an iron pan for ten minutes. Just opened the skin, okay, put it in the bottle. When watching TV, grab a handful of fried black beans and stick to it, and your kidney will be fine. Because black beans are black and enter the kidney. This is what we call the five elements theory, which is closely related to the five internal organs of the human body.
Five elements theory guides clinical diagnosis and treatment 1. Diagnosis and diagnosis
Diagnosis includes the diagnosis and inference of diseases. In the four diagnoses of traditional Chinese medicine, according to the overall concept based on yin-yang and five elements, according to? What's inside must be outside? The basis of this study is that visceral diseases are reflected in body surface tissues, showing pathological changes such as color, shape, sound and pulse. It is often of high diagnostic value to diagnose diseases by using the classification table of the five elements and the relationship between the five elements and their generation, restriction and abuse. If the patient looks blue, likes to eat sour taste and has a pulse string, it can be diagnosed as liver disease; The patient's face is red, his tongue is red, his mouth is bitter and his pulse is heavy, which can be decomposed into hyperactivity of heart fire. Judging whether the color pulse is consistent from the generation of grams in the five elements is also a basis for the ancients to judge the order of diseases. For example, the spleen is yellow, which is dirty and red, and it is a heart fire. The mother will take care of the children. The liver disease is blue, the pulse is string, which is consistent with the color pulse, and all the above are smooth. If the color pulse does not match, the color is displayed and the pulse does not reverse. But there is a difference between life and death. If the liver disease is blue in color, the deep pulse is born, because the deep pulse is the image of kidney water nourishing liver wood, and the floating pulse is dead, because the floating pulse is the image of lung liver wood.
Guiding treatment
The guiding role of the five elements theory in treatment is mainly manifested in the determination of treatment principles and methods, the diagnosis of viscera drugs, the guidance of emotional therapy, etc., which are described in detail as follows.
(1) Determine the principles and methods of treatment.
(1) Determine the treatment and treatment methods according to the symbiotic law.
According to the law of symbiosis, the treatment principles include? Make up for its mother? And then what? Actually, have diarrhea? . The former is mainly used for the weakness of mother and child; The latter is mainly used for the syndrome that both mother and child are dirty and solid.
According to the law of symbiosis, the specific treatment methods are as follows:
Nourishing water and burying wood: also known as nourishing kidney and liver or nourishing liver and kidney. Refers to the method of nourishing kidney yin and liver yin.
Method of enriching the soil and generating gold: also known as spleen and lung nourishing method. It refers to the method of nourishing temper and helping lung qi.
Jinshui method: also known as nourishing lung and kidney, nourishing lung and kidney. It refers to treating lung and kidney and correcting lung and kidney yin deficiency.
Benefiting fire and soil: it is also called warming yang and strengthening the spleen, and warming yang is used to replenish the spleen and stomach. It should be pointed out that yang here originally refers to heart fire, but since the rise of Mingmen theory, with the emphasis on kidney, it has been specifically referred to as kidney yang or Mingmen fire in clinic.
Reflection? Actually, have diarrhea? Specific governance methods are:
Clearing liver and purging fire refers to the method of clearing heart and purging fire to treat liver fire.
The method of tonifying kidney and purging liver refers to the method of purging liver-fire for the treatment of hyperrenal function. It should be noted that ancient physicians emphasized? Kidney has no evidence? Kidney deficiency mainly refers to vigorous fire.
(2) Determine the treatment principle according to the law of mutual resistance: the reason for multiplying mutual resistance is nothing more than that one side is too strong, showing hyperthyroidism; If the other party is biased, it is characterized by insufficient function. So, what is the treatment? Suppress strength? 、? Help the weak? . So-called? Suppress strength? Refers to the viscera that inhibit hyperactivity; So-called? Help the weak? That is, to help the weak and dirty, so as to correct their prejudice and restore the balance of power between the two sides.
