There is an old saying that "all five poisons are prepared", namely snakes, scorpions, geckos, centipedes and toads. But in Chinese medicine, we also have "five poisons" in our bodies. Some people are many, and some people are few. What are the five poisons? They are pathogenic dampness, cold blood, qi stagnation, blood stasis and food stagnation, which are five toxins.
Let's talk about this damp evil first. Damp evil is our common moisture, heavy, dirty and sticky. Usually, people with heavy humidity will have symptoms such as heavy head and light body, weakness of limbs, joint pain, sticky stool, thick and greasy tongue coating and toothy tongue coating. This cold pathogen is also cold. Many people can't stand a little wind and catch cold easily. However, this is different from our usual bad habits. When going out shopping, all major shopping malls and shops are air-conditioned, going in and out, and it is hot and cold. When they get home, they also turn on the air conditioner quickly. In this way, the body will inevitably be overwhelmed. Usually, people with severe cold in the body are prone to cervical spondylosis, scapulohumeral periarthritis, soreness of waist and knees, and even some people have spleen deficiency, which often leads to diarrhea and diarrhea. These are all caused by cold evil in the body.
This blood stasis means that there is blood stasis in our body, which cannot be dissipated, blocking blood vessels and meridians, resulting in new blood can not be regenerated. At this time, our blood will not circulate smoothly. Usually, people with blood stasis will have chest pain, spots on their faces, bruises on their bodies, and dull and bloodless faces, all of which are caused by poor blood flow. Qi stagnation has a great relationship with our liver, because the liver governs the discharge, and the liver qi is not comfortable, which will lead to qi stagnation. Chinese medicine believes that people who are depressed are usually short-tempered, easily angry and unable to control their temper. When qi stagnates for a long time, some diseases will occur, such as nodules, lumps and cysts. Indigestion, as we often say, is that we can't eat anything, and our stomach is always bloated, so it's uncomfortable to eat anything. These are all caused by spleen and stomach weakness, because our spleen governs transport and transformation, which can transport subtle Shui Gu. Spleen deficiency will lead to transport and transformation dysfunction, and all foods will pile up together, leading to food accumulation and food stagnation.
