This kind of person's body is particularly contradictory. The upper body is like fire, and the lower body is like an ice hole.
Always getting angry, oral ulcer, acne on the face, sore throat, very annoying. All these hot images are concentrated on it.
But look at the lower body, legs and feet are cold, the abdomen is cold, and it is easy to have loose bowels and dysmenorrhea. This cold image focuses on the lower limbs of your body.
You said to use our traditional Chinese medicine method to adjust, but it was all wrong. Eat something that nourishes yin and clears away heat, which is diarrhea; If you eat something cold, your fire will be more serious.
So this kind of friend is very painful, saying that this constitution doesn't know how to adjust. Today, I will analyze this most difficult constitution with you.
That's what happens to people who are hot and cold. Let's compare ourselves:
Heating:
Recurrent oral ulcer
Gingival swelling and pain, sore throat
Acne grows repeatedly.
Difficult to sleep, easy to wake up.
If you don't make up for deficiency, you will get angry if you eat hot tonic.
Cold:
Feet are cold all year round.
It's cold below the navel.
Women with less menstrual flow will have dysmenorrhea.
I want to eat cold food, but I have diarrhea easily.
Tongue images are the best to judge.
The tip of the tongue is red, and some tongue edges are red.
The middle and lower parts of the tongue are white, and some have thick white greasy fur.
Go by yourself. Yes, is the winning rate high? 14 to 42 There are many people in this age group who are hot and cold. I'll tell you how this constitution was formed.
Take women for example. When female 14 years old, the body yang reaches its peak. At this time, the heart in the body is very strong and the kidney is full. In this way, Yang Qi in the heart and kidney accumulates, leading to fever in the body. However, many young people don't understand how valuable this heat is. They just want to be cool, so they especially like to eat cold things, such as iced watermelon, ice cream, salad fruit and so on. In short, the colder things are, the more she likes them.
When these cold foods enter the stomach, the yang in the stomach will be extinguished first.
Yang in the stomach is very precious. I always like to put people in nature to think. This stomach yang is like the temperature of the soil. If there is no yang in the stomach, it is just like the soil has no temperature.
After the soil has no temperature, let's think about it again. Can life grow in soil?
Therefore, these little girls who have been drinking cold drinks for a long time, after hurting the yang in their stomachs, their body's vitality is consumed a little, and the first thing they show is the lack of qi and blood. Because the spleen and stomach are qi and blood, and there is no energy in the stomach, how can qi and blood be transformed?
After there is no heat energy in the stomach, the ability to digest food begins to decline, and many girls often think about dieting to lose weight, so that qi and blood can not meet the supply.
If it's just lack of qi and blood, it's better to adjust it. What's more serious is that there will be complex problems of upper heat and lower cold.
Then why does stomach yang deficiency lead to upper heat and lower cold? Stomach fire belongs to phase fire in the concept of TCM, and lung fire and gallbladder fire are also connected with stomach fire. It's all phase fire. This fire is going to go down, and it is to introduce the heat energy of the heart into the kidney water.
Under normal circumstances, the heart fire should intersect with the water in the kidney so that the fire will not be too hot and the water will not be too cold.
Now that the stomach fire is gone, the phase fire is insufficient and there is no ability to guide the heart fire into the kidney water.
Heart fire can't enter the water, fire burns on it, and water freezes under it. In this way, the constitution of upper heat and lower cold began to form.
At this time, people are often very uncomfortable, and they have to go to a doctor for treatment. However, most doctors don't know enough about this problem. When they see you get angry, they clear the fire and then continue to use cold medicine. What do you think will happen if you use cold medicine again? This will only hurt the yang in the stomach, and the only remaining yang may be submerged.
This kind of treatment will only be counterproductive and will only make the body worse and worse.
It's getting hotter above the body and colder below it. This constitution is not easy to adjust. Barefoot today to share with you a set of conditioning methods.
First, upper heat and lower cold constitution conditioning
1, let's talk about the conditioning method of soaking feet first.
The prescription of foot-soaking with upper heat and lower cold is: Rhizoma Coptidis 5g, Radix Scutellariae 8g, Rhizoma Zingiberis 10g, Rhizoma Pinelliae Preparata 10, Cortex Cinnamomi 5g, Folium Artemisiae Argyi 8g and Radix Glycyrrhizae 5g.
This foot-soaking prescription borrowed the wisdom of Mr. Zhang Zhongjing's classic prescription. Let me take apart the idea of this prescription with you.
Since it is hot on the top and cold on the bottom, it is necessary to combine cold and heat in conditioning ideas, absorb heat from the top and dispel the cold from the bottom.
(1), the first echelon, uses Pinellia to divide cold and heat. Many friends are curious, why can't the cold and heat in the body be neutralized? A glass of cold water becomes warm water when poured into a glass of boiling water. This kind of cold and hot can be neutralized, so why not? In fact, because the gas in the body does not form convection, the heat is in the upper part and the cold is in the lower part, and there is no vortex in the middle, so cold and heat cannot convection. Pinellia ternata can reduce swelling, it has strong penetrating power, and it can separate swelling caused by cold and heat. Besides, Pinellia ternata itself is healthy and can reduce heart fire.
(2) The second echelon used Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi and Coptis chinensis to clear heat. Coptis chinensis is used to clear heart-fire and stomach-fire, and bitter Coptis chinensis also reduces its strength, so it can reduce fire along the road of heart, stomach and kidney.
Then add Scutellariae Radix. Scutellaria baicalensis mainly acts on gallbladder and lung, and can reduce fire from the right side. In this way, the fire on the top will descend from the two channels together, and the ultimate goal is to descend into the water below.
(3) The third echelon used cinnamon and dried ginger to warm yang and dispel cold. Cinnamon is warm, and it can cause fire to return to yuan, acting on the lower part of navel, where it will continue to cause fire to descend and lead to renal water. Dry ginger is hot and pungent, pungent and scattered, and the gas spreads from left to outside, forming a circle. At the same time, dried ginger is hot to drive away the cold below. Folium Artemisiae Argyi cooperates with Folium Artemisiae Argyi to warm meridians. Folium Artemisiae Argyi can warm twelve meridians and improve the effect of dispelling cold.
(4), the fourth echelon is this licorice, used to reconcile cold and heat, so that these drugs in the prescription can work well.
The idea of using this foot-soaking prescription is basically from Mr. Zhang Zhongjing's classic prescription.
2. Next, let's take a look at how to adjust this constitution with traditional Chinese medicine decoction.
In terms of prescription, Gancao Xiexin Decoction in Treatise on Febrile Diseases is the most correct.
9 grams of Pinellia ternata, 6 grams of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, 6 grams of dried ginger, 6 grams of ginseng, 3 grams of coptis chinensis, 4 grams of jujube and 9 grams of roasted licorice.
Ok, let's analyze this prescription of Mr. Zhang Zhongjing.
We got angry when analyzing the constitution of upper heat and lower cold. The main problem is that there is no energy in the stomach.
(1), the first step, go to Jianzhong and establish the land of spleen and stomach. What is it made of? Zhang Zhongjing used ginseng+jujube+roasted licorice.
Zhang Zhongjing's ginseng at that time was not our current northeast ginseng, but codonopsis pilosula. So let's take a look at the actual situation of ginseng in this prescription. If spleen and stomach deficiency and cold are serious, ginseng can be used. If the deficiency and cold of spleen and stomach are not serious, Dangshen should be changed according to the original spirit.
Red dates and ginseng can stabilize medium coke.
(2) The second echelon used Pinellia ternata to eliminate epigastric pain. Many friends know that Pinellia ternata is expectorant. In fact, Pinellia ternata is also good at reducing swelling. What is a rascal? The reason why it is a lump is that cold and heat are intertwined in the stomach, and these cold and heat are intertwined and inseparable. Then let's solve the problem of cold and heat now, and we must separate these pathological products. Pinellia ternata is very good at eliminating these lumps.
(3) The third echelon is a combination of cold and heat. Remove part of heart heat, lung heat and stomach heat with Coptidis Rhizoma and Scutellariae Radix, then draw fire down, and use Daxin hot ginger to disperse the scorching cold.
Therefore, the reason why Zhang Zhongjing is called a medical saint is naturally the best. The prescription has both offensive and defensive functions, and both cold and heat are used. Nature is the most suitable prescription for the constitution of upper heat and lower cold.
In fact, we modern people don't know how to use these prescriptions, but simply think that this prescription cures what diseases and adjusts what physique.
There are more than 0/00 prescriptions in the classic prescription/kloc, and there is no disease in the book. If you treat a disease, Treatise on Febrile Diseases only talks about six diseases, namely, Taiyang disease, Yangming disease, Shaoyang disease, Taiyin disease, Shaoyin disease and Jueyin disease.
Most of us students of modern Chinese medicine can't understand Treatise on Febrile Diseases, and we all know the classic prescriptions, but we can't use them. In fact, if we understand this 100 prescription, more than 90% of the diseases will be cured. But it's a pity that we modern people don't have enough wisdom to study the classics.
Take this song "Gancao Xiexin Decoction" as an example. The original text didn't say what disease to treat, only listed a few symptoms, so it was said that Glycyrrhiza Xiexin Decoction was used. We can only try to figure out the meaning of medical sage according to our own understanding in modern times. In fact, Gancao Xiexin Decoction can treat many diseases.
Such as gastritis, enteritis, gastric ulcer, gastric mucosal injury, oral ulcer, etc. You can use this prescription.
Our modern thinking about diseases is actually chaotic, and it is getting more and more chaotic. In modern times, we divided many names of diseases, so we went after them. As a result, we studied which prescription was the best for a disease. We studied it and finally found that it could not be solved. The idea of Treatise on Febrile Diseases is to simplify the complex and divide the diseases into six kinds. No matter what your name is, all diseases can't escape from the framework of the Six Classics and can be cured for you in the end.
So, you can go and have a look. When I share prescriptions with you, I give priority to classic prescriptions. My own prescription is also based on classical thinking, and everyone uses it well. That's the reason.
Xiexin Decoction has three prescriptions in Treatise on Febrile Diseases, namely Banxia Xiexin Decoction, Gancao Xiexin Decoction and Ginger Xiexin Decoction. Among them, Banxia Xiexin Decoction is similar to Gancao Xiexin Decoction, except that the dosage of Gancao has changed a little, and everything else is the same. There is no need to divide them so finely here, just treat them as one. Another ginger antidiarrheal soup is based on licorice antidiarrheal soup, adding ginger 12g.
Ginger Xiexin Decoction:
9 grams of Pinellia ternata, 6 grams of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, 6 grams of dried ginger, 6 grams of ginseng, 3 grams of coptis chinensis, 4 Chinese dates, 9 grams of roasted licorice, and 0/2 gram of ginger/kloc-.
Ginger is mainly used to stop vomiting and dispel dampness. So, if you have a bad stomach, you are prone to nausea and vomiting after taking medicine, or there is more moisture in your stomach, take this ginger antidiarrheal soup.
Generally speaking, people with upper heat and lower cold will gradually improve their physique by soaking their feet with Zhang Zhongjing's diarrhea soup of "upper heat and lower cold".
It feels good to see the "barefoot theory" of WeChat official account. The above is taken from Barefoot Theory.
