The "Linglan Secret Classics" of "Su Wen" explains the mutual envoy of the twelve viscera, and uses the ancient official position setting to compare the relationship between the twelve viscera in the human body.
Just as everyone has likes and dislikes, let's take a look at the five internal organs, their functions, likes and dislikes, and how to better maintain them to achieve the purpose of health preservation.
"Liver General" is afraid of blockage
"The liver grows like a tree." The liver is the general's officer, and its characteristics are the main catharsis, joy, and depression. Only when the liver is not constrained, can the body reach a relaxed and relaxed state, like a tree with branches and leaves.
However, the following bad habits tend to "add blockage" to the liver:
Drinking too much alcohol. Drinking a small amount of alcohol can invigorate the blood, but if it is excessive, it is easy to mess with the liver.
Depressed. Depression, anger, and careful eyes can make the liver unable to stretch. Liver Qi stagnation can lead to a series of diseases, such as stomach pain, headache, high blood pressure, etc.
Excessive use of the eyes. The liver stores abundant blood, and its main role is to keep the eyes bright. Watching TV and facing the computer for a long time can easily overuse your eyes, which can lead to insufficient liver blood.
Maintain a happy mood in daily health, and never be a slave to emotions; Don't be angry for more than 3 minutes, and don't make decisions blindly on the head.
The "monarch of the heart" is afraid of tiredness
The blood of the heart is a very vigorous yang organ, which is equivalent to the king of a country. If the heart is vigorous, the complexion is bloody. On the contrary, symptoms such as cardiothoracic pain and heart qi weakness will occur.
Therefore, some "sad" bad habits need special attention:
Receive a huge amount of information. Modern people receive a lot of information every day, which can easily confuse people's minds. If the "monarch of heart" becomes impetuous, it will affect the coordination of other "departments".
Emotional depression and fatigue. There is no greater fatigue than tiredness. If you can't see it or let it go, it will lead to an imbalance in the regulation of organs in the body.
The
most effective way to nourish the mind is to lie down or sit quietly for 30 minutes at noon, but do not go to bed immediately after lunch. Bitter in the heart, eating bitter food in summer not only purifies the heart, but also nourishes the heart. Doing some aerobic exercise and getting more exposure to sunlight is also good for the heart.
The spleen and stomach should not be cold
"Those with a spleen and stomach, the official of Cangli, have five flavors." Therefore, the spleen and stomach are the root of health, the foundation of nurture, and the source of qi and blood biochemistry. In traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen actually includes two organs, the spleen and the pancreas, and the spleen and stomach are often regarded as a whole. Food can only be transformed into subtlety by the movement of the spleen, so as to transform into essence and qi to nourish the five internal organs.
Bad habits that hurt the spleen are mainly related to diet:
Eating too raw, too cold, too stretched. Raw and cold food will enter the body with cold air, which is easy to hurt the spleen and stomach. And a hungry meal and a full meal also hurt it a lot.
Too much thought. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "thinking hurts the spleen", and if you think too much, it will damage the spleen, which will affect the digestion and absorption of food.
Some medicines hurt the spleen and stomach the most. Many Western medicines can stimulate the stomach and intestines, such as ferrous sulfate, guanidine, aspirin, etc. Some bitter cold traditional Chinese medicines, such as banlan root, etc., are not suitable for people with weak cold constitution and frequent diarrhea for a long time.
Sweet food can nourish qi and blood, reconcile the spleen and stomach, and eat some sweet food, such as yams, sweet potatoes, etc. From 7 to 9 o'clock in the morning, drinking some millet porridge is also good for people with weak spleen and stomach.
The "Prime Minister of the Lung" is afraid of a poor environment
"The lung, the official of the prime minister, governs the festival." What does lung management regulate? Viscera qi and blood camp guard. The lungs are oriented towards the hundred veins, which has the function of assisting the heart to manage and regulate the qi and blood of the five organs.
The lungs are like a big umbrella, covering the five internal organs, and when the lung qi is harmonized, the qi is unobstructed, and the five internal organs can move normally. At the same time, the decline and prosperity of lung qi is also related to the length of life.
Long-term smoking. Tobacco has a strong stimulating effect, and both Chinese and Western medicine believe that smoking is extremely harmful to the lungs.
Staying in a place with bad air for too long. The lungs are demanding from the environment, and clean air is its favorite. Spend too much time in an environment with a dense exhaust smell and your lungs will protest.
Excessive grief. As early as in the "Neijing", there is a record of "sad lungs", which means that excessive sadness and sorrow will seriously damage the function of the human lungs.
When you wake up in the morning, you can find a place with fresh air to take a deep breath. Traditional Chinese medicine also has a saying that "often laughing and promoting the lungs", laughter makes people calm and has many benefits for the lungs.
The kidneys must not be dehydrated
"The kidney, the strong official, the trick is outstanding. "The kidney's main water, the essence of the reservoir, is the regulating center of life activities, and the kidney essence determines the growth and development and reproduction of the body. Therefore, to protect the kidneys, we must abandon the following bad habits:
Eat salty. Traditional Chinese medicine says that the salty taste enters the kidneys, and when the vitality is weak, the taste will become heavier.
Don't drink water. Many people don't like to drink water, which is actually very harmful to the kidneys.
Nightlife is too plentiful. Activities such as staying up late and singing all night can actually hurt the kidneys. Cause kidney yin to be injured, resulting in inflammation of the void fire. If you are in a state of excitement for a long time, you will lose energy afterwards.
Usually, you can clench your teeth first and then relax, and repeat this 100 times a day to prevent the leakage of kidney qi. Soaking your feet in hot water and massaging your feet has the effect of strengthening the kidneys and nourishing yin.
