From the perspective of Chinese medicine, it is natural to stabilize the mood, know how to regulate qi and reconcile yin and yang, and all diseases will not invade. From the perspective of Tibetan medicine, if the five elements of earth, water, fire, wind and qi are balanced between the big universe and the small universe, people will be disease-free and worry-free; To balance the five elements, it is effective to cultivate the mind, remove the insistence and break the greed and ignorance.
In fact, it is not difficult to balance autonomic nerves. Western medicine stresses balance, starting with autonomic nerves. The pace of modern life is fast, and most people have too much sympathetic nerve and insufficient parasympathetic nerve activity. Parasympathetic neuropathy involves autoimmune and metabolism, which is very important for health. Immune, metabolic regeneration mechanism works normally, no matter how much poison there is outside, you can be undisturbed.
In the face of high-pressure and busy external environment, people are prone to burst out of control, which often makes sympathetic nerves in a state of tension and does great harm to the body. Therefore, it is necessary to balance parasympathetic nerve activities and become a good doctor for yourself and your relatives and friends.
It is not difficult for autonomic nerves to achieve a balance of yin and yang! Practice, take back your relaxed heart, don't dwell on past regrets or future plans, just do one thing at a time, concentrate on living in the present, and experience the beauty of the present through the five senses of eyes, ears, tongue and body. Happy mood is the key to restart parasympathetic nerve and restore the balance of autonomic nervous system.
Eyes: Enjoy the beautiful scenery. Some people are old but not old. They travel around the mountains, and even at the age of 7 or 80, they can walk on mountain roads, which is more stable than young men.
One of the reasons why they "play healthier" is that they see more mountains, rivers, lakes, forests, oceans, grasslands and deserts than ordinary people. Appreciating the beautiful scenery is equivalent to eating free skin care products with your eyes, and it is also a skin care product without side effects. Healthy people can continue to stay healthy by watching beautiful scenery; For sick people, beautiful scenery is a kind of magical nectar, which can help them recover quickly.
American medical staff found an interesting phenomenon. Compared with patients facing the wall every day, if there is a window in the ward to see the scenery, patients will recover faster after operation and the average hospitalization time will be shorter. A company called "Bedscapes" has also started a business of selling large landscapes, bringing beautiful scenery to patients, helping them get rid of stress, saving energy to resist stress, and giving the body more strength to repair and regenerate.
The results show that parasympathetic nerves can play a role by watching pleasant natural scenery. Relieve stress first and then relax, which can improve self-healing ability. Not only the sick can recover as soon as possible, but also the tired can recover quickly.
80% of autonomic nerves suffer from vision, and what the eyes see will directly trigger all kinds of thoughts in our minds, and then produce emotions. Always watching negative news, watching neighbors quarrel over a trivial matter, your heart will be easily agitated, your mood will be tense and irritable, and you will be depressed and world-weary. Immune cells will also feel your worry and start to slow down or even go on strike. Whether the autonomic nerve is balanced or not depends on what you plan to see.

Ear: Listening to good music to get sensory pleasure is equivalent to pressing the "play" button of immunity. Immune cells like a pleasant, relaxed and peaceful working environment. If we create such a high-quality environment through emotional changes, our immunity will exert its greatest power.
Many experts who raise pigs and cattle will play music for animals. When cows listen to light music, dairy farmers can collect more milk; Some people deliberately let cows listen to rock music, which caused them to be anxious and the milk production was greatly reduced in an instant. Cows, not to mention people, can feel the influence of hearing.
Want to use hearing to activate parasympathetic nerve, what is better to listen to? The answer varies from person to person. Some people like listening to the sea, while others like sofa music. I especially like listening to Tibetan monks chanting. In principle, I listen to whatever I like, just listen to what makes you feel beautiful and relaxed.
Nose: Smell natural essential oil. In the eyes of the pharmacist Buddha, flowers and trees all over the world are precious medicinal materials that can cure diseases. It takes a long time to learn when Tibetan medicine and Chinese medicine have the highest curative effect and when to take them. Fortunately, there is a convenient way to seek healing power from plants, including essential oils.
I prefer wood to adjust the fragrance. When I have a headache or dizziness, I don't take painkillers, but rub a drop of essential oil in my palm, hold it in front of my nose and take a deep breath back and forth. When I smell it quietly, I feel refreshed, as if I were in a forest. If you can relax, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
If you have leisure time, it is suggested to walk in the forest as much as possible, smell wild flowers and take a bath with Stellaria, which can not only promote lung detoxification, prevent respiratory diseases, but also bask in the sun, ground gas and have a more comprehensive health care effect.

Tongue: There are many kinds of fruits and vegetables produced in Taiwan Province Province. Eating them is a happy thing in Taiwan Province Province! Everyone may wish to use the pleasure brought by taste to enhance immunity.
In order to make eating a happy thing, we shouldn't eat enough or put the table full of dishes. We should learn subtraction. The simpler we eat, the better. Choose 1 or 2 favorite things, concentrate on eating and enjoy slowly. It is best to taste sweet and sour with taste, feel fragrance with touch, feel the texture of ingredients with touch and let all the senses "eat" together.
Eating with gratitude and joy can bring you positive energy. When the parasympathetic nerve is on duty, the digestion and absorption function are increased, and the nutrient utilization rate is also improved.
However, when people are angry, anxious, nervous and working, sympathetic nerve activity is more vigorous. So watching the news of car accidents and ball games while eating, or paying attention to whether there is news on your mobile phone, may affect your blood sugar and metabolism.
Skin: cells that process tactile information are all over the skin, and tactile nerves are connected with autonomic nerves. By hugging, touching and * * *, the effect of calming the nerves is immediate, which can resist depression and anxiety, enhance concentration and perception, increase the number of immune cells such as lymphocytes and natural killer cells, promote blood circulation, and reduce excessive heartbeat, high blood pressure and high cortisol concentration. Therefore,
A few years ago, I studied the relationship between emotional stress and cancer with a British scholar, and found more than 50 heads of state, including * * *, * *, Chiang Kai-shek, Gandhi, Churchill and George H.W. Bush. Busy, should be under great pressure, but rarely died of cancer.
After all, they are all familiar with ways to relieve stress and have their own professional teachers. They not only take care of themselves at home every day, but also go abroad with teachers to relieve stress in time. Toxins will not accumulate in the body all the time, and the more they accumulate, the more difficult it is to deal with.
The five elements of eyes, ears, nose, tongue and body correspond to color, sound, smell, taste and touch of dust, which was originally a Buddhist term. However, now more and more western doctors begin to pay attention to the wonderful use of the five elements in maintaining a healthy state. Grasp the key words of "sense", "pleasure", "parasympathetic nerve" and "immunity", and I believe you can also find a good way to restore your body balance and become your own good doctor.
