I can talk to my internal organs

Chapter 171 Phantom limb pain, heart disease

"Peng Yan, Peng Yan, why are you staring blankly, grab the medicine!"

"Oh, what medicine?"

"Danggui Sini Soup."

"it is good."

"Why did you lose your mind just now?"

"You... Forget it, we'll talk about it after you get off work."

Peng Yan is confused about why now, but he can still distinguish the occasion, knowing that now is not the time for small talk.

Lu Jiu smiled and didn't continue to ask.

After giving Wang Li the needle, he called the next patient.

But this patient is special because he has no hand on the left cuff.

"What's the name?" Lu Jiu asked.

"Lv Lihao." The man said.

"What's wrong?" Lu Jiu asked.

"My hand, ever since the amputation, has always been in pain. No medicine can help, especially in the middle of the night, the pain is so painful that I can't sleep at all." Lu Lihao said.

"Phantom limb pain?"

Lu Jiu looked at Lu Lihao's left cuff.

In fact, in the theory of Chinese medicine, there is no name for this disease.

There are only two pathogenesis of pain, one is pain due to obstruction, and the other is pain due to lack of honor.

The function of the heart governing the blood vessels is normal, the Qi and blood run smoothly, the internal organs are poured inside, the limbs are moistened externally, the skin, muscles, tendons and arteries are everywhere, and the functions of the internal organs are normal.

The heart governs the loss of blood vessels, leading to loss of blood vessels and blockage of the veins, that is, "pain due to obstruction"; loss of blood vessels, loss of nourishment of the meridians and pain, that is, "pain from lack of glory".

The phantom limb pain that occurs after amputation is obviously caused by both.

After the hand is severed, the meridian is completely cut off, and there will naturally be a blockage, and the Qi and blood will be blocked when they are walking in search of the meridian. The feeling brought by this impact is pain.

Some patients experience throbbing pain, tingling pain, stabbing pain, or even spasm and pulling pain. Some patients feel that their hand has not been amputated, and it seems that they can vaguely feel that the hand still exists. A feedback from the blocked blood flow back to the heart.

It has both the internal mechanism of qi and blood and the external visual mechanism. That is, after a normal person is amputated, the inconvenience brought by the outside world will make him pay special attention to the amputated limb, which will cause discomfort. , thereby affecting the mind.

Just like the rise of short videos nowadays, everyone is watching various fitness videos. Suddenly, a blogger said that the crooked and thick calves of a person are caused by a few bad habits. The calf is thin and straight, making you more beautiful and confident.

In fact, this is all nonsense. First of all, the calf is slightly curved, which is in line with the logic of bone growth. There may be only one or two legs in 1000 million people that are particularly straight. Most people have slightly curved calves. As for those legs that are particularly curved Yes, it is not possible to become straight by practicing a few movements, even if you persist for ten years.

Secondly, thick calves can’t be thinned by practicing a few local thin leg movements. Body fat is a whole. The core of thick calves is that you are fat as a whole, or the Achilles tendon is relatively short, which is more visually obvious. fat.

Therefore, these bloggers who promote partial fat loss and improve bone straightness are all liars.

It doesn't do anything other than make you anxious.

And this kind of anxiety brings people more than just temporary troubles.

There are also lack of self-confidence, insomnia, worrying about gains and losses, etc.

If people fall into this state of self-denial and don't know how to adjust, they will definitely get sick after a long time.

In a sense, phantom limb pain is partly the result of self-anxiety.

Whether it's Qi and blood stagnation or visual perception, they all point to a place in the end.

Heart!
"Huangdi Neijing" Suwen·Zhizhenyaodalun points out, "All pain, itching and sores belong to the heart."

It is also said in Suwen·Linglan Secret Canon, "If the master is not clear, the twelve officials will be in danger, and the way will be blocked and blocked."

After amputation, apart from physical injuries, the heart is the most damaged.

The heart governs the gods, also known as the heart hides the gods, that is, the heart has the function of commanding the physiological activities of the whole body's viscera, meridians, body, and official orifices, and controlling the mental activities such as consciousness, thinking, and mind.

There is also an experiment often done at home and abroad, that is, put a fake hand that looks like a real one in front of a person, and then cut off the fake hand with a knife, then the person will subconsciously feel it when the knife hits the fake hand. Feeling the pain, he withdrew his hand instantly.

This is a kind of illusory pain caused by typical psychological hints.

Western medicine believes that it is a problem of the brain, so phantom limb pain in Western medicine is that after the limb is amputated, the noxious stimulus continuously activates the nerve cells in the cerebral cortex, causing pain; Pathway neurons activate and cortical reorganization induces pain.

Interfering with the cerebral cortex nerve pathways can therefore relieve pain after amputation.

In the system of traditional Chinese medicine, the brain is governed by the heart, and the heart and the brain are connected through the collaterals of the hand Shaoyin meridian, the Ren vessel, and the Du vessel.

When Lu Jiu treats patients with insomnia, he not only knows how to use prescriptions, but also uses acupuncture at Ren Meridian and acupoints.

Acupuncture up and down the acupoints of the Ren meridian can relieve brain function, adjust the mind, and relieve pain.

Even a single acupoint can have a good effect. If it is a combination treatment, it will be more targeted.

"Yes, it's phantom limb pain. The doctor said that if taking medicine can't relieve the pain, you can only try a Chinese medicine doctor. Doctor Lu, look at me... can it work?" Lu Lihao said.

Lu Lihao can't sleep every night now, and the physical pain has also brought him a lot of mental pressure.

I lost my job because I lost my left hand, but now I have to endure the torture of amputated limbs every night.

In just one month, Lu Lihao became thinner and thinner.

In the past few days, Lu Lihao had the urge to die.

Really, it's so torturous!

Dying and dying, living and living is uncomfortable, every day, every hour, even every minute and every second, Lu Lihao felt extremely tormented.

"Let me take your pulse first." Lu Jiu said.

Although he knew it was a heart problem, whether Lu Lihao had any other physical problems would directly affect Lu Jiu's diagnosis.

It is obviously not comprehensive enough to treat the heart just because of the phantom limb pain.

Hearing this, Lu Lihao stretched out his right hand.

He could only stretch out his right hand.

Lu Jiu clasped his fingers on his wrist, immersed in it, feeling the pulse while listening to the conversation of the five internal organs.

……

"Heart fire, heart fire, is it better now?" Pitu said.

"It's useless. I need Qi and blood now, but I don't have the extra ability to direct them. No matter how much you give me, it doesn't make any sense. I feel very tired now, I don't want to move, I just want to rest." Xinhuo said .

"That can't be done, you have to cheer up, liver wood, or you can help the heart fire, it must have been suppressed for too long, and needs to clear some dirty things, you should help quickly." Pitu said.

"I also thought, but what should I do if I can't work hard? That guy can't sleep every day, and he is always sullen. Not only is he tired, but I am also tired, okay. The blood doesn't go to me at night. I want to raise my blood." It won't do if the blood makes me angry, what's the use of urging me?" Ganmu said.

"It's not a solution to do this all the time. It's fine today. It's even more troublesome when it's rainy. What about kidney water? Is there any solution?" Pitu asked.

"I don't have it. My little essence bank needs to supplement his brain now. There is nothing extra, so don't get my idea." Kidney Shui said.

"What about the lung gold, you can't help it?" Pitu asked.

"I don't have the ability." Fei Jin said.

Oh?
Heart fire has no ability to direct Qi and blood?
That should be lack of heart yang.

Combined with the fact that the spleen soil said that the situation is worse in rainy days, there is no doubt that it should be the deficiency of yang in the body.

The kidney water also said to replenish the brain. Obviously, if the mind and soul are out of balance, the marrow sea is not nourished, and the marrow is not enough, the kidney water must be replenished naturally, otherwise the person will appear in a state where the head is empty and everything is dull.

It's fine for the kidney water to do this in a short period of time, but over time, if the kidney water keeps overdrawing itself to support the marrow sea, then the situation will get worse.

This is why many people suffer from some strange diseases, all of which start from insomnia.

When a person suffers from insomnia, all internal organs of the body are injured.

The most serious is the liver, heart and kidney.

Let’s not talk about passive insomnia, which is caused by various factors, but the kind of person who likes to stay up all night when there is obviously no problem is just training himself to be an insomniac.

This is the typical disease that deserves it.

After taking the pulse, Lu Jiu probably also knew about Lu Lihao's situation.

"All things grow by Yang", the movement of Qi and blood in the human body depends on the promotion and warmth of Heart Yang, if the heart Yang is insufficient, the driving force will drop, and the circulation of Qi and blood will be blocked, and there will be "pain if there is no flow"; When nourishing the body, the drop of blood in the heart keeps running around, and there will be "dishonor and pain".

Lv Lihao's case is that the heart yang is insufficient, and the blood stasis stops internally. The treatment should be based on warming the heart yang, regulating qi and blood to treat the symptoms.

It's a pity that Lu Jiu doesn't know navel acupuncture. This disease is within the scope of navel acupuncture. Not only is it simple, but it also works very quickly.

Navel acupuncture, as the name suggests, is to perform acupuncture on the navel.

The navel is the Shenque acupoint, which happens to be at the Ren meridian, and the Shenque acupoint is also the navel, and it is a very special acupoint.

Zhang Jingyue recorded in "Lei Jing Fu Yi", "The birth of a person is from the umbilical cord, which connects to the dantian. Safety depends on this..."

Therefore, the innate meridian qi of the human body is stored in the navel, which is the portal connecting the innate and acquired. It is closely related to the internal organs, qi and blood, meridians, and emotional changes. The role of neurological function.

In other words, navel acupuncture can cure all diseases.

When he was working at Jinling Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Lu Jiu saw the principal Shen Congwei use navel acupuncture.

For some diarrhea, gastric ulcer, acute gastritis, lumbar spinal stenosis, etc., the effect of umbilical acupuncture is excellent.

Lu Jiu also wanted to learn this navel acupuncture, but the underlying logic of navel acupuncture is five elements and eight trigrams, one needs to understand the Book of Changes and directions.

He didn't have this foundation at all before, so naturally he couldn't know the tricks in it.

However, it is okay if there is a burning mountain fire, but this acupuncture method is a bit fierce in the tonic method, so it is not suitable for warm tonic.

So Lu Jiu had no choice but to use the method of making up for Lu Lihao to give Lu Lihao a needle.

"How long has it been since the amputation?" Lu Jiu asked.

"It's been more than a month." Lu Lihao said.

"Did the amputation site hurt more than usual when it was rainy for more than a month?" Lu Jiu asked.

"That's right, that's right, I usually wake up in pain in the middle of the night, but I can still sleep for a while if I'm too sleepy. When it's raining, no matter how sleepy I am, I can't sleep at all." Lu Lihao raised his eyebrows, feeling that Lu Jiu's words were true.

"When it hurts, do you feel like your hands are still there, and then your head is numb, and you will always be affected by negative emotions. When something goes wrong, you will start to complain, you will have no energy to do anything, and you can't eat. You obviously feel very hungry. But you just have no appetite?" Lu Jiu asked.

"That's right, Doctor Lu, then, can you treat me?" Lu Lihao asked quickly.

"Well, you sit there first, take off your shirt, and I'll give you a few needles." Lu Jiu said.

Hearing this, Lu Lihao's expression brightened, and he immediately sat down on the bench next to the wall that Lu Jiuzhi pointed to. The aunt who had been standing beside him without speaking helped him start undressing.

Seeing Lu Jiu grabbing a dozen disposable needles, Peng Yan couldn't help wondering.

What do you mean?
Lu Jiu can cure such a complicated disease as phantom limb pain! ?
