Today, we talk about water wetness.
In the scriptures, we will find that there are many prescriptions for water production, such as: Lingguishugan Decoction, Zhenwu Decoction, Wuling Powder, etc. This is a major idea left by Zhang Zhongjing, understand the meaning of it Mysterious, it can not only cure diseases, but also preserve health. Let me explain the reason behind it.
We human beings are animals that came out of the ocean, and the relationship with water is inseparable. Water accounts for about 50%-70% of human body weight. 80% of blood is water, and water is the most basic nutrient for sustaining life, an important raw material for the body, and a solvent for various substances. Water directly participates in the metabolism of substances in the body, transports oxygen and various substances, regulates body temperature, and moisturizes organs and other important functions. Therefore, water is very important in our health. If there is a problem with the water, then our body will be in a variety of conditions.
What are the problems with water?
An important problem is too much water.
Then, everyone will ask, if we have a lot of water, wouldn’t it be enough to drink less water?
The reason is not so simple. Chinese medicine believes that these problems are caused by problems in the body’s system of transporting and transforming water, such as insufficient spleen yang and kidney yang. If there are no such problems, then our body will excrete the excess water. Yes, but with these problems, the water will not be excreted. Even if you drink less water, there will be too much water. For example, if a patient has edema, it is a problem with the patient's own system. If you use a water control device The method is not enough, no matter how much you drink, the edema will not be reduced much, and your life will be in danger.
I can say that the water in our body is wet, it seems like stagnant water in a stagnant pool. Many patients with heavy water level drink very little water, but the water level in the body is still serious, which is the reason.
In the process of doing scientific research and seeing patients, I found that the modern human body has a lot of heavy water in the body. This is a unique phenomenon that I have experienced. Nowadays, many very strange diseases can finally be cured by the method of removing dampness and promoting water Conditioned well.
The discovery of this was that one day I saw photos of the tongues of patients taken at Tongren Hospital. Our research team took about thousands of tongue pictures. I couldn't imagine the extent. Later, when I recalled the process of seeing a doctor, I also found that I prescribed so many dehumidification prescriptions, so I came to this realization.
I think that in ancient times, water dampness was not so heavy, because the proportion of water wetness in the medical records in the literature is certain, which is far less than that of modern times. However, now I find that so many patients in modern society are Watery and heavy.
Why is this?
lack of exercise
I think there are several reasons. The first is that modern people do not exercise much. We go out and have a car, and sit in the office all day. If you can't do these things, then the water and humidity will be difficult to transport.
For example, if we play a game of basketball, we will sweat all over, and then exhale a lot of water vapor, which is the discharge of water, and then drink water to complete the entry and exit of water in the body, so that the system of transporting and transforming water will be exercised.
If you just sit in the office for a day, the access to this kind of water is limited. If you don't get exercise for a long time, your function will be weak. This is a reason that everyone can understand.
Injured spleen yang
The second reason for heavy water dampness is to injure the spleen yang. In Chinese medicine, the spleen is responsible for managing water. We have a lot of cold drinks today. We have a refrigerator, so we can drink cold drinks at any time and eat cold things, such as ice cream. If these things go down, our spleen yang will be hurt, and we rely on the spleen yang to transport and transform water and dampness. Yang is like the soil on the earth. If the soil is gone, the water will flood, which is also understandable.
deficiency of kidney yang
The third reason is that the kidney yang is insufficient. The kidney is also responsible for managing water. Modern people have many opportunities to consume kidney essence. When we turn on the TV, open the pictorial, and turn on the computer, we can see pornographic images everywhere that make us lost. Various unhealthy lifestyles such as staying up late will deplete the kidney essence, and if the kidney essence is damaged more, the kidney yang will be insufficient. These may be the more prominent characteristics of our era.
other factors
There are also some reasons that are not the reason. For example, the modern living conditions have improved, and we have many more habits, such as taking a bath. We can wash every day, but the ancients couldn’t do it, so how much water does it take! Now we do this very cleanly, but it seems that taking too many baths is also a problem, and it seems that the water will become heavier. I will discuss this with you, and those who have such experience can discuss it.
I have treated a friend’s child with allergic rhinitis for a long time. I know that his parents bathe the child every day, so I asked them to change this habit and wash it every few days. As a result, I only prescribed one medicine and two medicines Afterwards, the child recovered. Later, when I saw the child’s mother on Beijing TV, she still feels miraculous. I think this has something to do with the change of bathing habits. I think it may be like this in Beijing, and how it is in other places needs to be discussed. Some people have said that it is frequent The relationship between bathing and humidity, but I don't remember the specific discussion, you can discuss it.
In addition to these reasons, other reasons for increasing humidity may be the same in ancient and modern times. The situation Zhang Zhongjing encountered may be the same as today. For example, the weather is heavy with water, which affects the growth of Yang Qi in our body, such as sweating Later, we soaked in water to work, such as raining in rainy days, etc. These are the reasons for the dysfunction of our body's ability to transport and transform water and humidity.
There are other reasons, you can think about it, and if you think of it, you can add it.
