Spring corresponds to the five elements of wood, and wood is prosperous in spring. Among the five organs of the human body corresponding to the five elements, the liver belongs to wood, and the direction of the liver meridian passes through the nipple and areola. In spring, the liver wood is germinated, the liver fire is vigorous, the weather is changeable, and people's emotions change greatly, which can easily lead to hormone secretion disorders in the body, and the normal function of the breast gland is disordered, inducing breast hyperplasia, from the perspective of the outpatient volume of the breast department, the spring is more than 3 percent more than the winter patients, most of them are breast hyperplasia patients.
About 80% of women have some degree of breast hyperplasia, and many times there may not be much abnormal sensation, but in the spring, the symptoms will manifest themselves. Outpatient experts pointed out that in spring, everything grows, and the body is also affected by nature, and the natural force of growth is strengthened: the same is true for ovarian function and uterine fibroids, which can easily induce hypertrophic diseases for breasts!
If a patient has had lobular hyperplasia in the past, it can relapse at this time; Women who have never suffered from the disease can also have one or both breast tenderness due to breast gland hyperplasia, and this kind of patients who have breast tenderness for the first time often have strong breast tenderness.
1. Mammary hyperplasia is not the same as mammary lobular hyperplasia
The mammary glands are the tubes in the breast that secrete and transport milk. The lobules of the mammary gland are the leaf-like glandular lobes on the duct of the mammary gland. Both places can be called breast hyperplasia, and when it develops in the later stages, it will produce breast cancer.
Mammary hyperplasia has one breast, two breasts, a single one, and several breasts, and varies in shape, size, and texture. Therefore, women should often rub their breasts when taking a bath, and there will be lumps when they have a tendency to become cancerous.
It is generally pebble-shaped, round and oval, with a hard texture, but the surface is not smooth, the mobility is poor, it cannot be pushed, the growth rate is fast, and even the lymph nodes in the armpit are palpable, which is highly suspicious of breast tumors.
Breast tumors are now one of the easier to treat among all tumor diseases, and the problem is generally not big when detected early, and it can basically be cured, and the survival rate is very high.
2. Breast disease is closely related to the seven emotions
Breast disease is caused by endocrine disorders in women, the main symptoms are periodic breast tenderness, the main pathological changes are the expansion of the breast gland and ducts, the ductal epithelium has different degrees of hyperplasia, and the lobules are accompanied by fibrous tissue hyperplasia. It is closely related to ovarian dysfunction.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, this disease is closely related to the seven emotions. The liver, spleen, and kidneys are dysfunctional, and Chong Ren is out of balance, resulting in qi and blood stasis and phlegm condensation and stasis to the breast. Therefore, the key to the pathogenesis of this disease is liver depression.
In Western medicine, breast hyperplasia is caused by endocrine disorders, mainly due to decreased progesterone secretion and a relative increase in estrogen. Many women take vitamin E during premenopause.
If the amount is not well controlled, it can easily lead to uterine cancer and breast cancer. Excessive vitamin E supplementation, estrogen secretion is relatively high, can not be taken for a long time, must be taken reasonably under the guidance of a doctor.
3. Treatment and maintenance of breast disease
For breast diseases, through the nourishment of the body's acupuncture points, the natural functions of the human body are used to achieve the effect of disease prevention and treatment.
1. Meridian health care treatment of breast disease:
Relieve liver depression, dissolve phlegm and disperse knots, nourish the liver and kidneys, and regulate intake and chongren.
Focus on the meridians: liver meridians, kidney meridians and Ren meridians.
Push the meridians first: the liver meridian and the kidney meridian are both flattened and flattened, that is, they are pushed alternately in the opposite direction, pushing up and down back and forth, 50 times each, to coordinate the balance of yin and yang. The Ren meridian is pushed down 50 times from the top. Because Ren Mai goes from the bottom up, pushing from the bottom to the top is the supplement.
Post-moxibustion meridians: The moxibustion duration of the three meridians is 5-10 minutes. When moxibustion is performed in the liver meridian and kidney meridian, the amount is small and the fire is small, and small moxa pillars are selected. Ren mai moxibustion has a large amount of fire, and uses medium moxa and large moxa.
2. Moxibustion acupoint selection:
The sea of qi, between the rows, Fenglong, milk root, and the middle of the body

The main thing in the body is to replenish qi, the milk root is to dredge the stomach, the stomach meridian is through the breast down, through the milk root directly stimulate the meridians of the stomach meridian, so that the breast meridians are unobstructed, dredge all the breast lobular line.

Function: The acupuncture points of the liver meridian between the rows have the effect of soothing the liver. Hong Leong is expectorant, which refers not to cough phlegm, but to phlegm stasis attached to the body. The interline is generally matched with Fenglong, which has the effect of soothing the liver and regulating qi, dissolving phlegm and dispersing condensation.
Breast maintenance starts from soothing the liver and nourishing the liver
Spring is the season for the growth and relaxation of liver and gallbladder qi, if the emotions are suppressed, it will be difficult for the liver qi to grow, so it will stagnate in the chest, causing stagnation of qi and blood, or turning into internal fire; If the mood is irritable, angry, the liver does not like restraint and depression, as long as the person is angry, the liver will be blocked, and in severe cases, there will be "liver pain of qi", that is, the ribs on both sides are swollen and painful, and the severe blockage will also affect the thyroid gland of both breasts and neck, causing lumps in these two parts; Women can also experience menstrual irregularities and sleep disorders, and even cause problems with the uterus and ovaries.
Therefore, to nourish the liver, being happy, comfortable, and not blocking the heart is the most important, so everyone should pay special attention to emotional regulation. It is also necessary to pay attention to the nourishment of liver and blood, because all hair growth depends on the sufficiency of liver blood.
