As we all know, nourishing the heart is always more important than keeping in good health. Being good at nourishing the heart can make people's secular desires not invade the viscera. Coupled with proper health care, the body can balance yin and yang, qi and blood. However, Chinese medicine has always had the theory of "nourishing liver in spring, regulating heart in summer, nourishing lung in autumn and nourishing kidney in winter". Why should we pay special attention to nourishing the heart in summer? Except that summer belongs to fire in the five elements, the corresponding viscera is "heart". According to the principle of keeping in good health in four seasons, what other important reasons are there? Why do you need to nourish your heart in summer? First of all, the "heart" of TCM includes the whole nervous system, including the heart, and even mental and psychological factors. Nourishing the heart in summer is necessary from modern medicine, traditional Chinese medicine and five elements. It is the most critical content of health preservation throughout the summer. In summer, you sweat a lot, but "sweat is the liquid of the heart". Sweating in summer is easy to relax your heart. Moreover, in summer, the human body has the highest yang and the fire is extremely prosperous. Therefore, the yang is scattered outside and weak inside, which is not suitable for the activities of venting consumption, and it is more prone to heart-related diseases, which requires nourishing the heart more than other seasons. Modern medicine has also found that when the temperature exceeds 33℃, human metabolism will be significantly improved, thus increasing the workload of the heart. At the same time, when the weather is hot, sweat glands open to dissipate heat, sweat too much, blood volume decreases and viscosity increases, making it more difficult for the heart to pump blood. In summer, the heart is very tired, and its own nutrition supply is poor, so it is easy to have problems if you are not careful. Moxibustion has the magical effect of nourishing the heart and calming the nerves. Moxibustion can not only nourish the heart, but also cure diseases. The principle is to open the heart meridian and pericardium meridian, and to support the yang and consolidate the foundation. I know a friend who has moxibustion. He has a serious heart disease. The hospital advised him to change his heart, and finally moxibustion saved him. This moxibustion friend felt very comfortable and relaxed at first, but he soon began to have a disease-discharging reaction, which showed various physical discomfort and repeated attacks. During the long-term treatment, this moxibustion friend also became suspicious and lost confidence. But one thing he knows very well is that every time after moxibustion, his body is particularly comfortable. Sometimes, as long as he picks up the moxa stick, his body and mind will feel relaxed immediately. Finally, stick to moxibustion for one year and eight months, and the symptoms improved obviously until they recovered completely. I believe that everyone can generally feel comfortable when moxibustion. Because moxibustion is the communication between moxibustion and the body, Ai is spiritual. After moxibustion, all troubles will be forgotten. The commonly used acupoints for nourishing and protecting the heart are 1, Xinshu 2, Gaojia 3, Zhongshan 4, Zhongyu 5 and Shenmen 6. The time of moxibustion at Neiguan is 15- 20 minutes for each limb and 30-40 minutes for each trunk. With these symptoms, we should be alert to heart function. The heart is located in the chest, and the collaterals of the heart meridian are connected with the tongue, so the qi and blood of the heart are connected with the tongue to maintain the physiological function of the tongue. Therefore, the pathological changes of the heart can be easily reflected from the tongue. If qi and blood are insufficient, the tongue is pale and white; When the heart is on fire, the tongue is red and even the tongue body is eroded. Such as blood stasis, often appear tongue color purple or spot purple, hypoglossal vein congestion purple and so on. People whose tongues can't distinguish five flavors (old people like to eat strong food) are because their hearts are weak. Especially when the tongue is not flexible, we should first consider whether the imbalance of yin and yang in the heart affects the normal function of the heart and brain. In addition, if diagonal wrinkles are found in the earlobe, it is recommended to go to the hospital to check the heart and blood vessels in time. American medical scientists found in autopsy that almost everyone who died of coronary heart disease had a wrinkle in the skin of the earlobe. My heart is uncomfortable. Maybe the water is too wet. In traditional Chinese medicine, the sun in our body is the heart, and it lives in the chest, scaring Shui Han, who is under the scorch. If the water is too wet to cover the sun, it is moisture that affects the operation of the heart. At this time, when you get together, you will feel dizzy. In addition, you will feel that your upper abdomen is full of gas, and you will feel more stuffy and uncomfortable near your heart, such as palpitations. Old people are weak in heart-yang deficiency and lack of firepower. At this time, if the water is wet, it will blind the heart and yang, and various problems will appear in the heart. In addition, many people will feel oppressed in their chests. There is also "qi rushing to the chest", you will feel a kind of breath, rising from your stomach and going straight to your chest. Because the water is too wet and the gas does not drop, there will be some lung problems, such as cough, asthma, and inability to lie down at night. , common in the elderly. In this case, the first thing is to eliminate dampness and support yang. Moxibustion will have a good effect. Nourishing the heart should also cooperate with these methods. Eating red food is red, and natural red food has the function of nourishing the heart, such as tomatoes, red wine, dark plums, carrots and so on. 2, * * or standing piles is the practice of nourishing the heart, and you should learn to meditate. Meditation not only means * * *, but also an attitude towards the world. After middle age, healthy qi is gradually losing. At this time, we should start to pay attention to health, preferably vegetarian, stay alone and sit quietly. Vegetarian food is beneficial to the spleen and stomach, so the gas in the intestine is not turbid, and vegetarians are often energetic and not easy to get sick; Living alone means reducing the atria and ventricles, so that the kidney essence can be nourished, and the kidney essence is sufficient, so that the innate essence will not be harmed; Meditation can nourish the heart, quietness can nourish the heart, and movement can vent. Over time, the mind can be restrained and the internal organs can be peaceful and balanced. Quiet is yin, quiet is wisdom, and quiet is yang. This is the root of yang spirit, and it is also the real way to reconcile yin and yang. Disclaimer: The above content comes from the Internet, and the copyright belongs to the original author.
