I used to travel from Shanghai to South Korea with the Italian cruise ship Costa. On the cruise, there were various performances every night. Many foreign actors sang in the lounge. We could drink some wine and listen to them singing one after another. Later, I met a Chinese staff member. She told me that she admired these actors because: You come here for two or three days, and listening to their songs feels fresh, but they have to sing repeatedly every night for many years. And every time you have to sing with full energy and passion, this kind of repetitive work for many years requires professionalism.
This incident has always inspired me. In fact, the same is true for health communication. Don’t think that everyone understands a lot of things after talking about it once. The "effective dose" that works has not been reached!
So, today I will continue to talk about the most serious problem that endangers our body. Maybe each of us will be affected by it!
That day, a friend asked me about spleen and stomach problems. He said that he had poor digestion and had diarrhea for many years. Once he had abdominal pain, he had to have diarrhea immediately. This required him to find the toilet immediately, otherwise he would pull his pants, "pull his pants" We were familiar with this word when we were young, but when we grow up, we still have the same problem, which is a big problem.
I looked at his tongue and checked his pulse, and found that his liver qi was very stagnant, so I recommended the Wumeiwan foot bath prescription for Jueyin disease, and told him to adjust his emotions. And this kind of problem seems to have a disease in the spleen and stomach itself, but in fact, it is closely related to poor mood.
Later, his body gradually recovered and he was very happy.
There are too many such things, so today I will talk about it again and tell you how diseases come from.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that there are six evils in trauma, namely wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness and fire, which are changes in external conditions, and bruises, poisonous insect bites, etc., which are external accidental injuries.
As for internal injuries, there are only a few: diet, fatigue, and internal injuries of the seven emotions.
This diet is the problem of eating too much, or starving.
Fatigue refers to all kinds of fatigue, such as overwork from work, overwork from sex, and so on.
The internal injuries of the seven emotions are the most important, referring to emotional problems.
We encounter all kinds of happiness and unhappiness every day, and this unhappiness will lead to emotional problems, cause stagnation of qi, and block the circulation of qi and blood. Therefore, don't think that when the young couple quarrels, quarrels at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, it seems that the two have reconciled, holding hands and going to the movies, and their emotions have recovered. However, what you didn't expect is: the stagnation of qi and blood has formed again!
So, once I see that kind of couples quarreling when they have nothing to do, I advise them to study hard, change their personalities, and change their communication methods so as not to hurt their bodies. Otherwise, I will doubt whether these two people are suitable to be together. If it is in the stage of love, I will persuade them to break up, because such a match can easily hurt them for a lifetime.
So, what kind of disease can this kind of liver qi discomfort cause?
Let me talk about danger!
First of all, liver qi stagnation can lead to liver injury.
The liver in Chinese medicine refers to a system, including functions such as storing blood and dredging, but the liver, a specific organ, is also included in Western medicine. The influence of the organ itself is relatively large, so when we treat liver diseases, we see that the patient's liver qi is uncomfortable, so we also need to soothe the liver and regulate qi.
As for the problems of the liver meridian in traditional Chinese medicine, such as the function of storing blood, it will also have a relatively large impact. Even if there is a problem with the part of the liver meridian, we will trace the root cause to clear the liver qi. Therefore, if a woman has a problem with the reproductive system, we will also think about whether the liver qi is uncomfortable, because the liver meridian "circulates the yin organ", and many problems in the female uterus are related to the liver qi discomfort.
I once treated a lady's pruritus vulvae, which broke out every morning and was unbearable. This pruritus vulvae is a difficult disease, and it is difficult to talk about it. I judged that it was caused by liver fire, so I soothed the liver and purged the fire, and the result was cured quickly.
Then, the liver qi is not relaxed, and the liver wood turns into fire, which will lead to the disorder of the lung system.
Because the five elements of the liver belong to wood, and the five elements of the lung belong to metal, if the anger is too large, the wood will fire and the metal will be punished, that is to say, the liver will melt the metal in the lungs.
Therefore, the serious lung diseases of women I have encountered often have shadows of bad emotions in them.
For example, some women wake up early in the morning for a long time, waking up at four or five in the morning. They used to sleep normally before waking up at six or seven. Now they wake up early for no reason. I often check her liver and lung system. Among such women, some of them were diagnosed with lung cancer a year after waking up early, and the reason is that before waking up early, there were huge changes in the family, such as major emotional trauma and so on.
Generally, men are more resistant to stress, and women are more likely to be hurt by emotions, so the ancients were right when they said that "love is long and lifeless". But I have also seen men who were injured. A family member of a friend heard that he had been frustrated in the unit for a long time and was very depressed. As a result, the unit leader changed later. The new leader valued him very much and decided to reuse him. The result was at this time , Lung cancer was detected, and he left soon, which is sad.
Now children are suffering from lung meridian imbalance due to stress, and the proportion of eventually developing lung disease is also getting higher and higher. This was unimaginable before.
Uncomfortable liver qi can also cause spleen and stomach problems.
In fact, strictly speaking, problems with the spleen and stomach are mostly related to poor mood, because the liver belongs to wood, the spleen and stomach belong to earth, and wood restrains earth. Therefore, when the liver qi is uncomfortable, the liver qi will go against the spleen and soil. This is a very famous model in Chinese medicine.
The spleen and stomach mentioned in Chinese medicine actually refers to the function of the entire digestive system. When the liver qi is not relaxed, even the intestinal tract will have various problems.
Therefore, our various stomach problems are often related to emotions. Some women get stomach problems immediately when they get angry.
Most intestinal problems are also related to emotions. Western medicine says that the intestinal tract is the second brain of a person and is greatly affected by emotions. Some friends have diarrhea when they encounter important tasks, just like some children have diarrhea when they take an exam.
The heart system is more easily affected by emotions.
The heart belongs to fire, and the liver belongs to wood. If the liver fire is too strong, the heart fire will inevitably be implicated. Therefore, people with uncomfortable liver qi will feel palpitations and chest tightness. If I meet someone who says he has a heart problem, once he sees a pointed tongue, he must soothe the liver and relieve the fire. In this way, the heart problem will be solved instead. This is called "drawing from the bottom of the pot".
The renal system will naturally be affected.
I have observed many patients with nephritis. In fact, a considerable proportion of them have emotional problems. Such people are very sensitive. Some patients with nephritis sent me emails and wrote long emails. I read them carefully. I found that many people are of the personality type of sad spring and autumn.
The influence of liver qi disturbance on the overall function of the kidney meridian cannot be underestimated. For example, reproductive problems. Many couples are infertile. After many years of checking the wives' problems, it was finally found that the problem lies with the husband. My experience Yes: male infertility caused by deficiency of kidney qi accounts for only a small part, and the majority of male infertility is caused by discomfort of liver qi. Or, the problem is complex, it is necessary to soothe the liver and regulate qi before nourishing the kidney.
In this way, do you feel that the mood is not good, it is simply terrible?
I feel like it's like an iceberg, where above the water is just a small ailment, but beneath the water is a huge, frightening emotional disorder.
Therefore, how to adjust our emotions, learn not to be entangled, not attached, learn to let go, learn to be calm, and learn to look at things around us optimistically, this is a skill that we must learn throughout our life. If you learn it, you will be healthy physically and mentally. Sorry for myself, sorry for my parents and family.
So, how should we adjust our mentality? I will talk to you more later when I have time.
You can participate in more sports, sing more, visit temples, and learn Chinese culture. There are many ways.
However, there is the easiest way, that is, you can start by following my official account "Dalun Academy" and listening to my ten-minute lectures on "Tao Te Ching" every day. I have been teaching for a whole year, and it is all free Public welfare voice, many friends have persisted, and they all report that their mentality has improved a lot, you can try it!
