The five internal organs not only correspond to the five elements, but also correspond to the four seasons, which conforms to the laws of nature, and all physiological phenomena are the result of the operation of vitality.

Huang Yuanyu's theory of primordial qi circulation is different from that of previous physicians, so he is called a great master. During his years of practicing medicine, he can basically get rid of this disease.

For him, the core of the primordial circle, that is, the hub, is like the shaft in the middle of the wheel. With this axis, the wheels can turn, so the vitality circle of the human body also has an axis, which is the spleen and stomach.

The vitality of the spleen tube rises and that of the stomach tube falls. Driven by the spleen and stomach, the vitality circle can operate normally and the body can stay healthy.

Any part of the five internal organs is very important. Only when all parts work normally can people stay healthy. No matter where something goes wrong, people will get sick or even die. However, for health preservation and the conditioning of chronic diseases in the elderly, more attention should be paid to the conditioning of the spleen and stomach.

The functions of the five internal organs are as follows:

Two of the five internal organs have special functions. One is the spleen, which is the source of vitality. The other is the kidney, which is the secret of storing vitality.

These two organs are directly aimed at vitality, one is growth, the other is preservation, and the other three functions are to consume vitality to maintain the normal vitality of the body.

For example, the role of the spleen is equivalent to the income of one's own family. The spleen is responsible for making money, and then the liver, lungs and kidneys are responsible for daily expenses, buying food, clothes and daily necessities, maintaining daily life and improving the quality of life. Then remove these daily expenses and save the rest for later use.

This explanation must be that everyone has a clear understanding of the functions of the five internal organs. Every organ needs to rely on its own vitality to provide energy to realize its own functions. At this time, the spleen is needed to supply energy, and all organs can get enough energy to operate better.

The liver governs the discharge. If the liver doesn't get enough vitality, there is no way to help us clear the blocked blood vessels and control the mind. If we don't get enough energy, people may get brain atrophy and Parkinson's disease.

Because the essence is very important for the normal operation of the five internal organs, the function of the spleen and stomach is very important.

One entry and one exit is the function of the spleen, while the entry is tonic and the exit is detoxification. Chinese medicine says that vitality comes from food, which is what western medicine calls nutrients. Spleen transports food into qi and blood, transforms it into vitality of the body, and supplies the needs of five internal organs. Other organs rely on the spleen and stomach to supply vitality, so the spleen and stomach are called "the mother of the five internal organs".

As the saying goes, a little boy who eats poor Laozi, a teenager aged eight to eighteen, has the strongest stomach gas. They have a good appetite and strong digestion, and food is converted into a lot of energy, which produces a lot of vitality. Children are more active and playful, and these energies will be consumed when there is a lot of activity.

His body is strengthened by this constant absorption and consumption, and the longer it is, the stronger it is. Therefore, children who are in good health will not have smelly stools, but only sour stools. Why?

Look at the elderly, they have insufficient stomachs and poor digestion, and they lose their appetite when they see meals. It's time for this meal. I haven't finished digesting the last meal.

Chinese medicine attaches great importance to stomach qi. No matter what disease you have, as long as you have an appetite, you will be fine for the time being. If you don't want to eat, it will be very troublesome, even if it is a simple cold. If you don't want to eat, you may even be in danger. For example, the first manifestation of patients with liver disease is loss of appetite.

But there are also different situations:

This is because the food they eat is not well transported into qi and blood, but all become garbage, left in blood vessels or excreted. This is another situation: the stomach is strong and the spleen is weak, and the stomach function is good, so it can be eaten. But the spleen is not good, it is useless to eat it, and it is not good.

The feces of these people are basically problematic, such as loose stool or constipation. The feces must be smelly, so why?

The smelly substances in feces with strong stomach and weak spleen are, in plain English, nutrients that have not been absorbed by the body. These things should have been absorbed and transported to form vitality, but they were all discharged because spleen deficiency could not be absorbed. Can the body be healthy without nutrition?

We Chinese medicine often say that people with heavy moisture have endogenous phlegm. These wet toxins come from these unabsorbed things. Western medicine believes that these things can not be used by cells, which will bring great oxidative stress to the body, cause oxidative damage to many organs and produce a large number of free radicals, which has become the source of all diseases.

After the age of 40, people's spleen and stomach function will decline. First of all, they will eat less and they will not be transported. At this time, they usually gain weight, but this is not a good thing, because it is not muscle but soft fat.

The weight has gone up, but the physical strength is getting worse. Some elderly people can't breathe on the second and third floors, which puts a great burden on their hearts.

Popular science time:

At this time, some people say that the heart can't stand ischemia and hypoxia. Although the blood supply and oxygen supply will be reduced a little, most people are still good, because they have not reached the degree of arteriosclerosis and the blood vessels are not blocked.

But their lips will turn purple, which is a sign of heart overload. Just like a water pump, originally only a pipe with a diameter of 10 cm was needed, but a pipe with a diameter of 20 cm was given, but the water flow was so large and the pipe was too thick, so the flow and water pressure were definitely not enough.

Our hearts are like this. Insufficient pressure leads to hypoxia and ischemia. Although there is no arteriosclerosis, there is still a risk of sudden cardiac death.

The decline of spleen and stomach function is the cause of obesity. Therefore, the health of the spleen and stomach is a very important thing. Poor spleen and stomach, long-term lack of vitality, affecting health and reducing life expectancy. Therefore, no matter what disease you treat, you should start with the spleen and stomach. If the spleen and stomach are repaired, other diseases can be completely cured.

People who really understand Chinese medicine, no matter what symptoms, will definitely have yam, poria cocos and hawthorn to stimulate appetite and strengthen the spleen. If there is no such medicine at all, then the person who prescribed it must be a quack.

There is a story about Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In their last battle, Zhuge Liang defeated Sima Yi in Qishan. Sima yi retreated to the camp and resolutely refused to fight. Zhuge Liang tried his best to force Sima Yi to play, and even sent Sima Yi to decorate women's clothes and shouted:

Sima Yi was an insult to him as a general, but Sima Yi was not angry because Zhuge Liang did so. He asked the clothes messenger:

The messenger replied that the Prime Minister was busy with many things and couldn't sleep and eat all day. Hearing this, Sima Yi really went out in women's clothes and wriggled like a woman.

This made Zhuge Liang angry, annoyed and sad, and he soon died in the army. Shortly after his death, Shu began to decline.

Why did Sima Yi ask Zhuge Liang, the messenger, about eating and sleeping? Sima Yi is a health expert. He knows that anger can easily lead to poor appetite and affect health, so he asked.

From these words, Sima Yi judged that Zhuge Liang ate less, worried too much, and died soon, so he deliberately put on women's clothes to make things difficult for Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang was so angry that he could not eat. It can be seen that spleen and stomach are really important to us.

Huang Yuanyu is called a great master because he discovered the spleen and stomach, the pivot of the primordial qi circle, and he must follow the principle of "nourishing yang and restraining yin in the middle earth" in the process of treating diseases. Why is it called Middle Earth?

The position of the spleen and stomach is in the middle of the five internal organs, and the attribute is soil.

I believe that here, everyone has a preliminary understanding of yin and yang, five elements and five internal organs. Then, we will explain different diseases and TCM concepts in more detail.
