In traditional Chinese medicine, all diseases are "blocked" to a certain extent, and if they are not passed, they will be blocked, and if they are blocked, they are generally manifested as three evils (wind, cold, and dampness).
It is said in the "Lingshu Honzang": "Those who practice the meridians, so they practice blood and qi and camp yin and yang, wet the muscles and bones, and benefit the joints." "If the meridians are blocked and the qi and blood cannot operate normally, then there will be corresponding problems in the body, so we should dredge and adjust them in time to ensure the normal operation of the body's functions.
In daily life, everyone should have encountered the problem of clogged sewers or faucets. When there is a blockage in the local area, the lumen of the pipe narrows, the space for flowing water becomes smaller, and the garbage cannot be removed in time, which brings a lot of inconvenience to our lives.
In the same way, the meridians, as an important channel for the operation of qi and blood in the human body, connect the external organs and limbs and internal organs, connecting the internal organs and organs of the human body into an organic whole, and regulating the body's qi, blood, yin and yang through the normal operation of the meridians, so that they can be kept in a balanced and coordinated state.
Where the wind, cold, and dampness are blocked, the disease is there
Wherever the three evils of wind, cold, and dampness are blocked, the disease is there. And the key to dredging it is in the meridians.
Meridian is a general term for meridians and meridians. Among them, the meridians are divided into 12 meridians and 8 strange meridians. The 12 meridians are the meridians to which the 12 viscera belong, and they are connected from end to end. As the old saying goes: the three yin of the hand, from the dirty hand; The three yangs of the hand, from the hand to the head; The three yangs of the foot, go from the beginning to the foot; The three yin of the foot, from the foot to the abdomen and chest. The twelve meridians are also known as the canon.
And the Du Pulse and Ren Pulse, which we often hear and see in our lives, belong to the Eight Strange Meridians. The human body is susceptible to the invasion of wind, cold, and dampness, and the evil veins affect the operation of qi and blood, thus affecting our body.
▶ Wind evil can easily attack the sea of yang veins and cause headaches
The wind evil is the yang evil, which has the characteristics of lightness, divergence, and upwardness. The four seasons are always there, and their nature is active, and they often combine with other evils, which can cause disease, thus affecting our health.
Wind evil is easy to attack the yang position, such as the head and face of the human body, the muscle surface and other yang parts. The Du Mai is the "Sea of Yang Pulses", which can regulate the qi and blood of the Yang meridians of the whole body, and follow the middle of the back of the human body, so it is easy to be disturbed by wind evil and cause headache pain. In addition, wind evil can also cause symptoms such as hermama (urticaria), sudden oblique mouth and eyes, and joint migratory pain.
▶ Cold evil is easy to hurt the body's yang qi and cause pain
The cold evil has the characteristics of coldness, retraction, and condensation. It is common in the cold season of winter, but if the temperature drops sharply, the air-conditioned room is long-term or the summer is cold, overeating and cold, etc., it is also the cause of cold evil.
Sickness and cold evil are most likely to damage the body's yang qi, causing qi and blood to coagulate and meridians to block. If the flow of qi and blood is not smooth and the blockade is not moving, it will be painful, so pain is the most common clinical manifestation of cold evil invading the human body.
Due to the different parts of the cold and evil spirits, there are a variety of pain symptoms. The most common in daily life are headache, neck pain, cold pain in the abdomen and abdomen, common uterine cold and dysmenorrhea in women, and poor joint flexion and extension.
▶ Dampness is easy to block the qi, and the head is sleepy and heavy
Dampness has the characteristics of heavy turbidity and stickiness. It is common in summer, so when there is more rain, the temperature is higher, transpiration and divergence, so that the environment is humid, and the climate is hot in summer, the pores are vented, so the human body is susceptible. Dampness is yin evil, which is easy to hurt yang qi and block qi.
In "The Theory of Warmth: External Warmth", it is said: "If the wetness is victorious, the yang will be slight." In the five organs of the human body, the spleen is mainly transported with water and liquid, and likes dryness and dislikes dampness. Therefore, dampness is often easy to trap the spleen, damage the spleen yang, and cause the spleen to have no right to transport, resulting in the internal arrest of water and dampness, the retention of the viscera meridians, the abnormal rise and fall of the qi, and the blockage of the meridians.
Dampness is a disease, and common clinical symptoms such as heavy head and body, thick and sticky tongue coating with tooth marks, pain and soreness in the joints of the limbs, abdominal distention, sticky and loose stool, large amount under the belt, edema and so on.
