The body is most prone to the problem of "uncomfortable liver qi".
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the body's qi is constantly rising and falling, and if there is a problem during operation, the body will be hot and cold, and all kinds of diseases will occur.
So, where is the most likely problem with the operation of the human body's qi machine? The answer is: liver! In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the liver is not only an organ, but also a whole system. Its main function is to store blood, the main drain - regulate emotions, and be responsible for the smooth flow of qi and blood in the body.
However, if the mood is depressed, the degree of depression has exceeded the liver's ability to excrete, which will lead to the dysfunction of the liver system and the discomfort of liver qi.
What problems can liver qi discomfort cause in the body?
(1) Cold hands and feet. The four ends of the liver - the end of the limbs, if the liver qi is stagnant, the qi and blood can not reach the end of the limbs, the hands and feet will be cold, Chinese medicine calls it "four reverses", many female friends are like this;
(2) irritability, upset, insomnia, dreams, depression;
(3) Dizziness, drowsiness and fatigue;
(5) Irregular menstruation in women (some women are particularly prone to irritation before menstruation, which is likely to be caused by uncomfortable liver qi, and some breast tenderness before menstruation, which is also related.) Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the breast belongs to the stomach meridian and the nipple belongs to the liver meridian. The liver meridian is closely related to the female reproductive system, so the discomfort of liver qi is also very related to menstrual irregularities), dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea or leakage;
(6) Poor appetite, chest and flank swelling and pain;
In fact, "liver qi discomfort" is a very serious problem in modern society, because modern people have high pressure in work and life, poor emotional relief ability, and few related counseling institutions, so people with "liver qi discomfort" have many emotional problems, and there are many various diseases caused by this bow.
How much? Summing up my own experience, I think that 70% of the people I have seen who have physical problems are caused by poor mood.
In the recipe of "Xiaoyao Pill", Bupleurum is to comb the liver qi, white peony to collect yin and soft liver, and angelica together to replenish the liver body and help the liver, so that the blood is harmonious with the liver, and the blood is full of liver softness, which is a total of subordinate medicine. The mint in the recipe is also dispersive, which can penetrate the liver meridian and stagnation, while the ginger is pungent and can also diverge and stagnate.
"Uncomfortable liver qi" hurts the spleen the most
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver belongs to wood, wood and soil, and the spleen and stomach belong to soil, so liver qi is uncomfortable~ emotional problems will directly affect the function of the spleen and stomach. In other words, the digestive system is controlled by the autonomic nerves, and depressed emotions can lead to autonomic disorders, thus affecting the function of the digestive system. Therefore, people with uncomfortable liver qi often have symptoms such as poor appetite, stomach pain, ambiguity, and vomiting.
Many people suffer from stubborn constipation, which actually has a lot to do with liver qi discomfort. This is especially common in young women, many people take laxatives all year round, but they can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
If the spleen and stomach are weak, what problems will occur in the human body?
The food we eat is digested by the spleen and stomach, and the good things in it will be absorbed one by one, and some of them will be lost to the lungs, and they will be turned into qi under the action of the lungs. The other part, the upper infusion of the heart, turns into blood under the action of the heart, and then the qi pushes this blood to feed the limbs and bones of the whole body.
If there is something wrong with our spleen, there is a problem with the qi and blood, especially the source of the blood. Then, the discomfort of liver qi will affect the function of the spleen and stomach, and the dysfunction of the spleen will lead to blood deficiency. Then blood deficiency will in turn aggravate the discomfort of liver qi (because the liver hides blood, the blood is insufficient, and the liver meridian is not nourished, and it will be more violent). Liver depression - spleen deficiency - blood deficiency - liver depression, this is actually a vicious circle.
Such a vicious circle has been dismantled by the recipe of "Xiaoyao Pill", "Xiaoyao Pill" is aimed at these three links, and each link has set up a solution to the drug, which shows how comprehensive the prescription of the ancients was.
Many women have physical problems, and on the surface, the symptoms are complex. But careful analysis: women are born with emotional sensitivity and large fluctuations, so there are many cases of liver qi discomfort, which then leads to spleen deficiency and blood deficiency. Blood deficiency will cause the liver to be more vigorous, and then the spleen and stomach will be injured again, so it will be more blood deficiency.
At this time, if we can't see the overall process and simply solve the problem of one ^link, the effect is often not good. That's why there are a lot of women who don't always have a good body conditioning effect. Why is "Xiaoyao Maru" so magical?
Because in this recipe, there are tea and atractylodes to tonify the spleen, so as to prevent the invasion of liver fire (this is Zhang Zhongjing's meaning of "seeing the disease of the liver, knowing the liver and passing on the spleen, and first realizing the spleen").
Then, angelica was added to nourish the blood, and as a result, the blood deficiency was prevented.
What if the liver fire is more vigorous after blood deficiency?
Then in the original recipe of the gardenia and peony skin, among which the gardenia is the fire of the three cokes, the danpi is the fire of the liver and gallbladder, plus these two drug versions, the new recipe is called "Jiawei Xiaoyao Pill", also known as "Gardenia Xiaoyao Pill".
The correct way to take "Xiaoyao Pill".
It is said that at the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, there was a shortage of soldiers, and the common people suffered from many diseases, and the emperor of the Song Dynasty hoped that the society would be stable and the people would recuperate, so he attached great importance to medicine.
At that time, the common people were encouraged to donate the formula, and according to the role of the prescription, the donor was given money or official position. Encouraged by this policy, the Song Dynasty collected a large number of medical prescriptions. After collecting the recipes, he sorted out several large recipe books. "Taiping Huimin Mixed Pharmaceutical Bureau" is one of them, and there is "Xiaoyaosan" in it.
I generally recommend others to grind the first six flavors of medicine (Bupleurum chinensis, Angelica sinensis, White Paeonia, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos, licorice) into powder, boil water with ginger and mint, then remove the residue and drink the medicinal juice.
Today, some pharmaceutical factories produce "Xiaoyao Pill" ignores ginger, which is not understanding the truth inside, so if you read the drug instructions, if there is no ginger in the above ingredients, when you take it, you need to cut a piece of ginger yourself, soak it in boiling water, and use this water to take it, the effect will be better.
Xiaoyao Pill can be used by both men and women
Many people think that this "Xiaoyao Pill" is a woman's patent, which is specially used to regulate menstruation. This is actually very one-sided, as long as there are three problems of liver depression, spleen deficiency, and blood deficiency, in fact, it can be used, regardless of men and women.
In ancient medical books, there are many medical cases about men using "Xiaoyaosan" (the name of a Chinese medicine prescription, "Xiaoyao pill" is a Chinese patent medicine).
Li Shicai in the Ming Dynasty treated such a patient: a man with a fever, cough is very serious, some doctors use "Jinkui Kidney Qi Pill" to tonify the kidney, and some use phlegm to treat the lungs, all have no effect, and finally invited the famous doctor Li Shicai at that time, he analyzed the patient's fever, cough and asthma, which is actually caused by liver qi discomfort (this is called "liver wood insults lung gold" in traditional Chinese medicine, liver qi is uncomfortable, and many times it will cause problems with lung meridians).
Then Li Shicai used "Xiaoyaosan", and then added some peony skin, and the patient took two pairs of medicines, and the coughing and asthma stopped immediately. From ancient times to the present, in the entire history of the development of traditional Chinese medicine, it has appeared as a prescription and as a medicine for the treatment of diseases, and it has its clear indications - liver qi discomfort, spleen deficiency, and blood deficiency.
Therefore, we should not make our own subjective judgments, but should find a nearby TCM practitioner to analyze. See if this is the case for your body. If so, use it under the guidance of a doctor, then this recipe will work quickly.
In addition, studies have shown that for diseases such as breast hyperplasia, "Jiawei Xiaoyao Pill" also has a therapeutic and conditioning effect, so you can consult a doctor before using it. And be sure to take it according to the precautions in the instructions.
Now, there are too many places where we can use "Xiaoyao Pill" or "Jiawei Xiaoyao Pill" because our emotions are too easily affected, but we must stay awake that medicine can only pull us when our body can't get through it, we can't live on medicine, and if we really want to be healthy, we still have to rely on our body's own ability to regulate.
Many times, we are in a difficult mood because we have entered a circle that we have set up ourselves, and we will not get rid of negative emotions, and as a result, we are trapped in it, unable to extricate ourselves, and eventually lead to physical injury.
At this time, we have to understand for ourselves that in fact, living in this world, there are good and bad things, and the key is how you look at it. There is no absolute fairness in this world, and there are many times when even if you do good deeds and serve others wholeheartedly, there will still be people who will scold you.
Therefore, we still have to see the light when we encounter problems, and our attitude towards the world is very important, even if the sky is full of sunshine and white clouds, it may be no fun in the eyes of pessimistic people; If you look at the world with a positive eye, you may feel extra emotional even if it is cloudy and rainy.
The so-called "phase is born from the heart", it is not that people's appearance is born from the heart, this "phase" refers to the world we see in front of us, and the meaning of this sentence is: what kind of state of mind you are, what kind of world you see.
Therefore, although I am talking about a prescription called "Xiaoyao Pill" here, I actually hope that everyone will have an attitude towards life called "Xiaoyao".
The above is for reference only, please take it under the guidance of a physician.
