Blood deficiency is the first to disease, and qi deficiency is the first to disease
Interpretation of body signals from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine
1. Blood deficiency and pre-existing disease - head
In TCM theory, "blood deficiency" refers to a lack of blood in the body or a decrease in blood quality, a condition that usually leads to discomfort in the head. When blood is deficient, the blood supply to the head is insufficient, and symptoms such as dizziness, headache, and memory loss are prone to occur.
These symptoms are told by the body that we need to pay attention to the health and filling of the blood, and replenish the blood in time to maintain the normal physiological function of the head.
2. Qi deficiency and first disease - feet
"Qi deficiency" refers to the insufficient generation or consumption of qi in the body, which is often manifested in traditional Chinese medicine as the body's low vitality, when qi deficiency occurs, the feet, as the distal end of the body, are the first to be affected, and symptoms such as fatigue, soreness, and fatigue may occur.
These symptoms are a reminder from the body that we need to adjust our lifestyle and enhance the Qi in our body to support the normal activities of the body.
3. Yang deficiency precedent disease - left
"Yang deficiency" refers to the deficiency of yang energy in the body, which is usually related to the weakening of the body's warming function in traditional Chinese medicine, when yang deficiency appears, the left side of the body, especially the left half of the body, may first show symptoms, such as cold on the left side of the body, pain in the left joint, etc. These symptoms tell us that the yang energy in the body needs to be strengthened to restore warmth and vitality to the body.
Fourth, yin deficiency precedent disease - right
In contrast to yang deficiency, "yin deficiency" refers to the deficiency of yin fluid in the body, which may lead to a weakening of the body's moisturizing and nourishing functions, and in the case of yin deficiency, the right side of the body, especially the right half of the body, may first show symptoms, such as dry skin on the right side, dry eyes on the right side, etc. These symptoms tell us that we need to replenish the yin fluid in the body to maintain balance and moisture in the body.
Fifth, there is a lot of phlegm in the head - there are calluses in the feet
According to TCM, excessive phlegm in the head may be related to excessive dampness in the body. When moisture is injected into the feet, it can cause rough skin on the feet, forming calluses. This phenomenon reminds us that we need to pay attention to the problem of dampness in the body and remove dampness in time to maintain the health of the body.
6. Fire in the head - dry feet
"Fire on the head" in TCM refers to the appearance of heat in the head, which can cause water in the body to evaporate too quickly, causing dry skin on the feet. This condition reminds us of the need to clear heat and reduce fire while maintaining the body's water balance to alleviate the symptoms of dry feet.
7. Head congestion - hi pedicure
When there is a blockage in the head, it may manifest as symptoms such as discomfort and pain in the head, at this time, some people may like to relieve the symptoms through pedicure, which can help relieve the blockage of the head by stimulating the acupuncture points in the feet, promoting blood circulation.
8. Wind on the head - deformation of the feet
In traditional Chinese medicine, "wind on the head" refers to the attack of the head by wind evil, which may cause the body's qi and blood to flow poorly, which can sometimes lead to deformation of the feet, such as bent toes, deformed soles of the feet, etc. This reminds us to pay attention to the health of our feet while protecting our heads from wind evils.
9. Wet head - sweaty feet
When the head is too damp, it can lead to an imbalance in the body's water metabolism. In this case, you may experience symptoms of excessive sweating in your feet, which not only affects the comfort of your feet, but may also increase the risk of foot infections.
Therefore, when the head is wet, we need to condition the body in time to remove dampness and stop sweating to maintain the health of the body.
To sum up, these body signals in TCM theory not only remind us to pay attention to the health of the body, but also provide us with a basis for regulating the body. By understanding and applying this knowledge, we can better take care of our bodies and achieve health and balance.
