It is considered that the changes of qi and blood circulation in human body are closely related to the day and night changes in nature. The focus of health care is to conform to nature, and twelve hours of health care a day has different requirements. Remember that "heaven and man correspond" and don't "go against the sky". So how should we keep in good health during these twelve hours? Let the following article explain it in detail for you!
Time physiology and pathology
Twelve o'clock was first recorded in The Legend of Wings in Hanshu for one year, and it is still in use today. According to the fact that the sun moves around the North Pole day and night, corresponding to the twelve directions in the sky, the day and night cycle is divided into twelve periods, named after the earthly branch, which is called twelve o'clock. These twelve hours are "Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai". Every hour just corresponds to the changing process of yin and harmony in nature, rising, falling and disappearing day and night. Physiologically, Neijing first recognized the law of yin and yang changes between biology and nature. "Yin and Yang are the root of all things" profoundly illustrates the importance of time rhythm to the adjustment of the body. "Therefore, if the sun dominates the sky, it will flourish in the middle of the day, and if the sun is insufficient in the west, the valve will be closed", which explains the basic operation law of the rise and fall of human yang. If we can adapt to this change of yin and yang, we can improve our disease prevention ability by strengthening our body's resistance to evil, otherwise we will get sick easily. In terms of pathology and guiding diagnosis, there are many explanations in medical codes of past dynasties. Directly pointed out the general pathological characteristics of "Danhui, Tianan, Night Tiredness, Night Tiredness", that is, the characteristics of general diseases are light in the morning, flat in the day, heavy at dusk and heavy at night. Furthermore, the time transfer law of the five zang-organs system of heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney is pointed out. According to the changes of Yin and Yang (Shaoyang, Yangming, Sun, Jueyin, Shaoyin, Taiyin) in a day, Zhang Zhongjing established Neijing by combining Tibetan images and meridians, in which "Six meridians to be solved" can best reflect the characteristics of the occurrence and development of time pathology: when the sun disease is to be solved, from beginning to end; Yangming disease, when can it be solved, from Shen to Xu; Yang disease, when you want to solve, from yin to Chen; Taiyin disease, when you want to solve it, from the sea to the ugly; The disease of shaoyin should be solved from the child to the yin; Jueyin disease, when you want to solve it, goes from ugly to bare. To some extent, it explains the law of the rise and fall of qi and blood and the spread of diseases in different periods.
Chen Shi meridian health
Woods Liu Zhu is a representative of time medicine in China. Visceral blood flow was first recorded in Neijing, and its therapeutic application was first seen in Treatise on Febrile Diseases in Jin Dynasty. In twelve hours, the qi and blood of human body will circulate from beginning to end, and the ups and downs of different meridians and blood will change at different times. Twelve hours corresponds to the the twelve meridians of human body. Qi and blood flow from Yin Shi's lung meridian and Shi Mao's large intestine meridian, followed by stomach meridian, spleen meridian, heart meridian, small intestine meridian, bladder meridian, kidney meridian, stomach meridian, pericardium meridian, triple energizer meridian, gallbladder meridian, and then to liver meridian. Therefore, keeping in good health advocates keeping in good health 12 hours according to the changing law of yin and yang day and night, which can coordinate the rhythm between human body and nature, maintain the balance of qi and blood, yin and yang, and achieve the purpose of dredging meridians and preventing diseases. The specific characteristics of twelve-point qi and blood operation are as follows:
1. Zishi (2- 1) is the main time of gallbladder meridian. He said, "All the eleven viscera are taken from the gallbladder." Because "in the middle of the night, the length of yin is heavy yin" and the cathode is positive, it is very important to fall asleep at this time to prevent and treat hepatobiliary diseases and maintain yang.
2. Ugly time (1, 333,543 points) is the time when the liver meridian is dominant. Said: "The blood of an old friend is in the liver." At this time, a good sleep can nourish the liver; Otherwise, impatience and irritability.
6.9 points (9- 1 1 point) are mainly spleen meridians. Proper movement of the spleen limb is helpful for the spleen to transport Shui Gu and turn turbid into turbid.
7. Noon (11-13) is the main time of heart meridian. He said, "It's noon, and Yang Long is the Double Ninth Festival." Anode cover. Taking a lunch break after a meal is good for nourishing the heart and calming the nerves, and ensuring energy in the afternoon.
8. At the end of the day (1- 15), it is the time when the small intestine passes through the main vein. It is advisable to have lunch first to fill the small intestine with chemicals.
9. Kidney meridian (point 153354 17) is the main time of bladder meridian. Drinking more water at this time is beneficial to the excretion of metabolites through urination.
10. You's (173,335,419) is the time when the kidney meridian rules. Eating on time helps to "nurture the innate"; In addition, it is necessary to prevent overwork and help store sperm.
1 1. Xu Shi (acupoint 1933542 1) is the main time of pericardium meridian. Proper exercise or entertainment at this time is helpful to the operation of qi and blood, nourishing the heart and nourishing the nature.
12. Shihai (2 1-23) is the main time of triple energizer meridians. At this time, washing off the coat and getting ready for sleep will help Shui Gu, promote qi circulation, harmonize yin and yang, and beautify and live longer.
In addition, the circadian rhythm of Neijing has four stages, namely, the liver governs the morning, the heart governs the middle, the spleen governs the four seasons, the lung governs the day, and the kidney governs the midnight. So, you can choose a suitable scheme. Traditional Chinese medicine health care methods are rooted in folk knowledge and experience system, and in some places it is inevitable that they are far-fetched and cannot be mechanically copied. Instead, we should inherit and develop with the development of the times and the changes of the environment, discard the useless, and maintain health reasonably according to time, place and people.
