1. Heart, the supreme commander of the body,
"The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" says: "The heart is the master of the five internal organs", "If the master is unknown, the twelve officials are in danger".
This means that if the body is compared to a nation, then the mind is like a monarch, the supreme ruler of a country. The heart dominates the physiological activities of the internal organs and the body. Only when the heart "seeks its own government in its position", can the viscera, meridians, qi and blood be managed obediently, and work conscientiously in their respective positions; On the contrary, if the heart is diseased, or uneasy, or loses the ability to manage, the body will have an imbalance of yin and yang, imbalance of viscera, loss of meridians, loss of qi and blood, and restlessness, and various physiological activities will be disordered, and people will get sick.
Therefore, if there is a problem with the heart (monarch), the whole person (country) will be paralyzed.
2. Disease, first nourishing the heart
kidney
heart and yang are insufficient, then the kidney qi is insufficient.
When ordinary people hear about kidney yang deficiency, they will intuitively think that it is a kidney problem, but they don't know that kidney yang deficiency is also inseparable from the heart.
There is a word we often hear: the heart and kidney intersect. This word vividly describes the relationship between the heart and the kidneys. The heart belongs to fire, which is above and belongs to yang, and the kidneys belong to water, which is located below and belongs to yin. Traditional Chinese medicine often says that "yin and yang are balanced" and "water and fire are mutually beneficial", which means that the communication between the heart and kidney must be unimpeded. For example, the fire in the heart must drop every moment, and the yang energy will be sent to the kidneys, so that the kidneys will not be cold; And the kidney water must also go up all the time to nourish the heart yin, so that the heart fire will not be too strong.
Almost all patients with kidney yang deficiency have the problem of heart yang deficiency, the heart cannot send yang energy to the kidneys, so that the kidneys are in a cold state all day long, constantly consuming the already insufficient kidney qi, and after a long time, kidney yang deficiency is inevitable. Often take some tonics, ointments, medicinal diets to nourish the kidneys, but the effect is not obvious, like this case, you should first replenish the heart yang, invigorate the heart's yang energy.
2. If the
are heavy, the spleen will lose its health.
Excessive thinking will strain the mind and nerve, which in turn will lead to a lack of yang in the heart.
We all know that the spleen is the main transport, and food must be transported by the spleen, digested and absorbed by the human body before it can be turned into blood. However, without Xinyang, the spleen's function of transporting cannot be realized. Therefore, long-term overthinking will inevitably affect the spleen's function of transport, resulting in symptoms such as lack of food, abdominal distention, and physical weakness. From this point of view, the cause of spleen loss should also be distinguished, and if it is caused by excessive thinking, it is recommended to worry less.
3. If the
do not bleed, the lungs will not be declared.
"Taiping Shenghui Fang" said: "The husband's lungs are on the diaphragm, close to the heart, the heart is dominated by blood, the lungs are dominated by qi, and the qi and blood follow each other, circulating inside and outside." "
The main blood of the heart, the blood of the human body runs in the vasculature, and it must rely on the heart pulse to circulate, so the driving force of blood circulation is the heart. Therefore, the pure qi inhaled by the lungs needs to be distributed throughout the body through the circulation of blood, and the turbid qi must also be attached to the blood to reach the lungs and be discharged from the body through the breathing of the lungs.
In other words, only when the heart function is sound and the heart blood is full and smooth, can the turbid qi in the body be replaced by the pure qi of nature normally. This is the truth that "blood is the mother of qi" and "blood is the carrier of qi" in traditional Chinese medicine. Otherwise, there will be palpitations, shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, lips and other symptoms of qi deficiency, Sister Lin is like this, congenital "deficiency disease", plus the acquired "seven feelings are too much", resulting in excessive blood consumption, for a long time, it will inevitably dissipate lung qi, and she will die at a young age.
are blocked by blood stasis, the liver will be lost and discharged.
As mentioned above, the heart is the driving force of blood circulation, and the liver is an important organ that stores blood. If the heart does not have enough blood, or the heart can't pump blood properly, it can lead to blood deficiency and liver deficiency.
Many elderly people, especially those with poor heart function or cardiovascular diseases, are often accompanied by symptoms such as tendon spasms, hemorrhoids and convulsions, etc., and they often think that there is a problem with the legs and feet, and blindly replenish the bones and joints, but the effect is always far-fetched. In fact, this is the pathological change caused by excessive blood consumption, liver loss of nourishment, and blood not nourishing tendons, which must be treated from the heart.
In addition, women are naturally sensitive, emotional, and depressed, we often feel suffocated in the precordial area, and there is pain in the ribs. This is because depression will lead to weak blood circulation, and the heart blood will block the blood vessels, which in turn will affect the liver's excretion function. The two ribs are the location of the liver, and they are also the location of the liver meridian, and the stagnation of liver qi will cause pain and bloating in the two ribs.
To sum up, the heart, as a monarch, will affect its subordinates if it has any discomfort. For example, kidney yang deficiency, indigestion, qi deficiency, cough and asthma, breast diseases, etc., are closely related to the heart.
Therefore, the first thing we do in treating diseases is to treat the heart, first regulate the mind, relax the heart, and once the mind is at peace, the internal organs will be self-regulated, the veins will be smooth, and the qi and blood will be leveled, and the human body will return to balance from a disordered state, and it will be able to completely break the root - "the results of all diseases are sought in the heart" is this truth.
3. It is the right time to
nourish the heart in summer,
and the "Su Wen Six Sections of Tibetan Elephant Theory" says: "The heart is the foundation of life, the change of the gods, its splendor is in the face, it is full of blood, it is the sun in the yang, and it is through the summer air." It can be seen that traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the heart and summer qi are connected", and the summer heart is twice the result with half the effort.
Let's analyze it specifically:
First of all, the biggest feature of summer is heat, at this time the human body's yang energy is the most vigorous, yang energy is easy to float outward, causing internal weakness, and people are prone to heart-related diseases. In layman's terms, it is: hot summer, strong metabolism, high energy consumption, fast blood circulation, and sweating, all of which will lead to an increase in the burden on the heart and aggravate the condition of patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Secondly, from a spiritual point of view, the heart is the master of the spiritual activities of the human body, and "the heart is the main yang energy, evil heat", so in the hot summer, people are easy to be anxious and restless.
Therefore, from the perspective of both physical and mental considerations, it is the right time to nourish the mind in summer.
Summer scraped this pain point through, which is better than eating ginseng.
The heart is a fire, so the high temperature in summer will increase the burden on the heart, which is a big threat to the heart. I think it's especially important to reduce the burden on your heart in the summer.
"Lingshu Meridian": "The veins of the hand and yin heart envelope originate in the chest, and belong to the heart periphery, the lower diaphragm, and the three focal points of the history. Its branches, along the chest out of the flank, three inches under the armpit, up against the armpit, through the inside, between the Taiyin and Shaoyin, into the elbow, between the two tendons of the lower arm, into the palm, and point out its end. Its branch, don't hold it in the palm of your hand, and point out its end with the little finger.
In the opinion of many people, the best cardiotonic medicine is to take ginseng, but in fact, in the eyes of traditional Chinese medicine, the best cardiotonic effect is to massage the pericardial meridian or pluck and tap the pericardial meridian. Because massaging the pericardial meridian has a similar effect to taking ginseng, or even has a better effect. Instead of taking ginseng as a regular tonic, it is more beneficial to massage the pericardial meridian every day.
The pericardial meridian mainly has the following nine acupuncture points, which are in order according to the running line: Tianchi, Tianquan, Quze, Ximen, Jian Envoy, Neiguan, Daling, Laogong, and Zhongchong.
The pericardial meridian, also known as the "life-saving pericardial meridian", is the meridian in charge of the periphery of the heart, such as pericardium and cardiovascular. Pericardial obstruction will cause chest tightness and heartache, and in severe cases, it will cause coronary heart disease, angina, myocardial infarction and even death.
The pericardium runs along the midline of the arm, which is the line corresponding to the middle finger, and the straight one runs from the breast to the middle finger.
The blocking point of the pericardial meridian is on the pericardial meridian of the upper arm. Divide the Tianquan acupoint into three parts between the Quze acupoint, and the blocking point of the pericardial meridian is located in the third closest to Quze. Each person is slightly different, some people are a little higher, some are a little lower, and the specific pain points shall prevail.
If it hurts to press at this block, it means that the pericardial meridian is blocked here, and there is a cardiovascular problem. Some people often feel chest tightness, angina, or coronary heart disease or early myocardial infarction when they go to the hospital for examination, this block point can be very painful. This means that this block point can be used to diagnose the presence or absence of disease.
If there is a pain point, you must scrape this blocking point and scrape it away, and a large green bag will be scraped out of the blocked place, which is the bruise blocked in it is scraped out. I have a patient who came to me for treatment of angina, I pressed her block point, it was very painful, and the left and right hands scraped out a large green bag, and then I insisted on scraping this point often and scraping the entire pericardial meridian to keep the pericardial meridian unobstructed.
Scraping this block point can also be used as a preventive treatment measure for myocardial infarction and angina. Because the heart is on the left side, the left arm is usually chosen for first aid.
Slowly getting older, with chest tightness, palpitation, heartache, or earlobes with wrinkles (about 80% of earlobe wrinkles have varying degrees of heart coronary artery blockage), remember to find out if there is a pain point in this location, if there is a pain point, be sure to scrape the block point and scrape it until it is not painful.
Usually take a few minutes a day to scrape the location of this block point, and scrape the entire pericardial meridian, which is also very beneficial to heart maintenance and prevent cardiovascular diseases.
Fourth, the life-saving "pericardial meridian"
pericardial meridian is one of the 12 meridians of the human body, and traditional Chinese medicine calls it "life-saving pericardial meridian". Regular massage of the pericardial meridian can effectively eliminate pericardial effusion outside the heart, relieve unnecessary pressure on the heart, make the heart function play a normal role, and have the ability to send blood to all parts of the body and take away the accumulated waste.
In addition, due to sudden fainting caused by heart disease, etc., "Ximen acupoint" can be used as first aid; Regular massage of the Lao Gong acupoint can also be effective in preventing heart disease.
Dredging the "pericardial meridian" has a miraculous effect.
.
Dredging the pericardial meridian can resolve heart depression
and dredge the pericardial meridian First of all, you must pinch the Jiquan acupoint under the armpit, which is the acupoint on the heart meridian and is the big acupoint for relieving depression. If a person is often depressed, a bag may grow under the armpit, which is an image of stagnant mental energy. After the Extreme Spring Acupoint is opened, the bag can be gradually dissolved.
How do you measure whether it has been plucked to the Extreme Spring? When we pluck a large tendon under the armpit, the ring finger and little finger are numb, which means that the plucking is correct. Then pluck a few more times here, and slowly pat down the midline of the arm with your empty fist to dissolve the depression.
. Dredging the pericardium, replenishing the spleen, and improving immunity
From the theory of the five elements of traditional Chinese medicine, the heart belongs to fire, the spleen is the main soil, fire can produce earth, and the ability of the heart is improved, which will definitely improve the ability of the spleen. Due to the patency of the pericardial meridian, the heart can function normally, which indirectly improves the ability of the spleen.
The spleen is the most important organ of the body's immune system, so massaging the pericardial meridian can improve the body's immune system. For most diseases, massaging this meridian can be of great help to the body.
.
Dredging the pericardium can lose weight
The pericardium is an independent meridian in traditional Chinese medicine, and many diseases are related to this meridian. Anatomically, the pericardium is a membrane on the outside of the heart, with some body fluids between the heart and the heart, which acts as a lubricant for the interaction between the heart and this membrane.
In some cases, these fluids increase, affecting the activity of the heart and reducing the heart's ability to pump blood. The blood supply to the subcutaneous area is also relatively reduced, which is one of the main causes of obesity, so massaging this meridian is the most important job for weight loss.
.
Dredging the pericardium can help reduce fever
and form pericardial effusion, mainly because there is a disease in the body, and the spleen will use its main ability to fight against the disease, so the work of transporting water will be temporarily put on hold, and the wastewater in the pericardium will accumulate. Since most of the body's maintenance work is done at night, most fluid accumulation occurs in the morning and usually recedes in the afternoon.
However, when the disease is severe, the human body will continue to fight against the disease, and the effusion will not recede for a long time, which will reduce the function of the heart and the ability of the spleen to fight the disease, further worsening the situation of pericardial effusion, forming a vicious circle, and the human body will form a confrontation with the disease, and the symptoms of fever will appear.
At this time, the artificial massage of the pericardial meridian can quickly remove the fluid in the heart, improve the ability of the heart, help the spleen win the war, and the fever will subside. Therefore, massaging the pericardial meridian is also the best way to reduce fever.
