Women love beauty, it's their nature. One day, I saw on TV that a popular female star even issued such a declaration: I would rather die than be beautiful, and I would rather die than be beautiful! However, I don't know if these female friends understand a secret of beauty, which is: if women want to be beautiful, they must first dredge their liver qi.
There are many women who are very beautiful, but for some reason, there are inexplicably butterfly-shaped patches on their faces, symmetrically distributed on both sides of the cheeks, one on each side, some are yellowish brown, some are dark brown, which seriously affects the their beauty. These women spend a lot of money on beauty treatment, but it still doesn't help. In fact, the beauty of the outside always comes from the harmony inside. If the inside is not harmonious, the outside will of course not be beautiful. So, what exactly is chloasma?
It turns out that the cause of chloasma is liver depression. Qi is the commander of blood, when Qi moves, blood moves, and when Qi stops, blood stops. After liver stagnation, liver Qi stops moving, and the circulation of Qi in the body will be poor, which in turn will cause blood stagnation. Poor circulation, poor blood circulation, pigment deposits will stay on the skin, so, internal liver qi stagnation, spots will appear on the face. In fact, not only melasma, but also eczema.
Eczema is a very stubborn disease, and many people have it, especially on the neck, limbs, and joints. The traditional Chinese medicine treatment method is generally to disperse wind and pathogens, cool blood and remove stasis. This is the general way of thinking. I have treated some patients, but I always found that the way to relieve wind is not very smooth.
Later, I reflected and found that I had forgotten to apply syndrome differentiation and treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine does not use a formula to treat all patients. It must be treated according to the patient's condition. So I carefully summarized these patients and finally found that many people are emotional. The disease occurred later, so I used prescriptions such as Xiaochaihu Decoction to harmonize the liver and gallbladder, or Sini Powder and other prescriptions, and combined with some skin-stimulating medicines such as white moss skin. It turned out to be gradually getting better, and in the end many of them healed.
In fact, eczema is very difficult to heal. Many people have taken traditional Chinese medicine for dispelling wind and dispelling pathogens for half a year, but they have not been cured. On the contrary, relieving liver qi has played a very good role. It can be seen how important emotions are in a woman's life.
To give you an example, a female friend suffered from eczema and asked a friend to seek treatment from me. She herself said that she has seen many doctors for about half a year, but there is no effect, and sometimes it gets worse. At that time, she carried the medical records with her, and I took the thick medical records, and all I saw were medicines for dispelling wind, dispelling dampness, cooling blood, and detoxification, which made me speechless.
Because of a coincidence, just the day before, I discussed this issue with a doctoral student of mine. He once worked in the dermatology department of a certain hospital after graduation. What is the effect of the fixed thinking of Shufeng Qushi, cooling blood and detoxification? You can comment on it.”
He smiled wryly at the time and didn't speak. This left a deep impression on me.
In fact, our traditional Chinese medicine always prescribes prescriptions according to the specific conditions of each patient. There has never been a fixed prescription that can be suitable for the same disease. If this principle is lost, the curative effect of seeing a doctor will decline.
At that time, I saw this friend, and her affected areas were also on both sides of the neck and the joints of the limbs. How to analyze this?
Chinese medicine believes that the two sides of the human body are the part where yin and yang meet, so problems on the side of the neck can be treated from the liver and gallbladder; while the joints are where tendons gather. Chinese medicine believes that the liver governs tendons, and liver disease can also cause joint problems, so , I judge that this patient's condition is related to the disharmony between liver and gallbladder.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the promotion of the liver and the descending of the gallbladder govern the dredging of the qi mechanism. If the liver and gallbladder are out of harmony and the dredging is not good, then our body will have various problems, and one of the main reasons for the liver and gallbladder imbalance is emotional imbalance.
The inability of the liver and gallbladder to drain will lead to stagnation of water and dampness, eczema and other problems. At this time, the effect of simply diuresis and dampness is not good, because the root problem must be rectified once and for all!
It’s like a faucet is turned on, and the room is full of water. If we just use basins and buckets to scoop out the water in the room, and use antidotes to keep eradicating the moldy places on the wall, what do you think? Is this a good solution? It is estimated that no matter how we scoop, the water in the house will not decrease much, because the faucet is still running! The best way at this time is to turn off the faucet, which can solve the root of the problem, and regulating the liver and gallbladder is equivalent to turning off the faucet.
In order to make a clear diagnosis, I asked this friend: "Recall carefully, have you ever been particularly angry before the onset?" This is my experience. Great mental damage is often the cause of this disease. This is true of patients.
She recalled carefully, and sure enough, something went wrong at home. She was very depressed at that time, and had nothing to say.
In this way, I basically identified the problem, so I prescribed Xiao Bupleurum for her to harmonize the liver and gallbladder.
From the beginning to the end, I didn't use any blood-cooling and detoxifying medicines such as Sophora flavescens, wild chrysanthemum, and diding, nor did I use dampness-dispelling medicines, but after six medicines, her condition improved greatly. Later, I remember that after taking less than 20 doses, the disease was cured.
Whenever I hear the news of my friend's recovery, I will be very happy.
But there are also things that make me unhappy, the biggest one is that there are many people who are not aware of the harm of liver depression to the body. A few days ago, a few friends from other places asked me to see an old Chinese doctor in Guang'anmen Hospital for breast cancer. so much. In fact, this disease is directly related to the discomfort of liver qi. The increase of this disease has a lot to do with our stress. The pressure from family and work will lead to emotional instability in women. sick.
The appearance of these diseases, in the final analysis, is due to the discomfort of the liver qi, and the liver meridian is the most important thing for women, so the discomfort of the liver qi can easily lead to various diseases in women, sometimes these diseases are inexplicable. Therefore, it is often said that women are afraid of injuring the liver and men are afraid of injuring the kidneys.
