Blood is the lifeblood

Chapter 7 Qi and Blood Disorders Cause All Diseases——Most Diseases Are Caused by Qi and Blood Disorders (3)
Most of the current methods of treating hyperlipidemia are to try to get rid of the blood lipids in the blood vessels, just like using various methods to clear snow.However, in the process of snow removal and snow removal, all methods of venting are used. Over time, it not only hurts the body's righteousness, but also causes blood loss, and many lipid-lowering drugs are cold in nature, which in turn aggravates the coldness in the body. Wetness will "add blockage" to the circulation of qi and blood, causing a vicious circle.This is the fundamental reason why there are more and more people with dyslipidemia at present, but there is no specific medicine.

The correct treatment concept is not to sweep away and drain the hard snow through "hard violence", but to warm up the blood vessels through "softening force", so that the ice and snow will melt automatically, so that the Qi and blood can flow smoothly, and the melted snow water will nourish the earth, not only Unblocking the traffic can also turn waste into treasure.

Of course, there are many ways to melt. You can use the method of dredging the meridians to warm up the body, or you can eat warm food to drive the body away from the cold, and then add blood and kidney food to rejuvenate the earth.Once the temperature of the human body rises, the impurities accumulated in the blood vessels begin to melt, not only melting blood lipids, but also melting blood sugar and uric acid.Therefore, after such comprehensive conditioning, various abnormal indicators of the patient's blood decreased across the board, vascular congestion was significantly reduced, the lumen of the blood vessels became larger, the walls of the blood vessels became thinner, the blood circulation was significantly accelerated, and the functions of various organs were comprehensive. recover.

High blood pressure is all caused by insufficient Qi and blood

【Qi-Blood Health Sutra】The rise and fall of Qi in the human body is the basic form of life movement.Imbalance of yin and yang, deficiency of yin and hyperactivity of yang can cause blood pressure to rise.

Hypertension, the silent killer of human beings, is one of the modern epidemics that endanger human health and life.Epidemiological surveys show that the prevalence of hypertension in my country is on the rise. It is estimated that there are more than 8000 million hypertensive patients nationwide, a total increase of 10% compared with 25 years ago; in addition, millions of hypertensive patients are newly added every year.

In the past, medical workers have always believed that high blood pressure is caused by high nervous tension and excessive salt intake.However, new discoveries have been made about the etiology of hypertension in recent years. Chinese medicine studies believe that it is related to the disorder of Qi and blood function.

Mr. Hu is 73 years old this year, and his blood pressure has always been relatively normal. However, the recent passing of several elders in the family made him think that his death is not far away, and he lives in panic every day.Returning from attending the funeral, he had a cold that lingered for a long time.

The children took him to the hospital for an examination, and found that the normal blood pressure suddenly rose to 200mmHg/120mmHg. The children were terrified. For so many years, his father's blood pressure has been normal. Why did it suddenly soar at this time?
Mr. Hu's blood pressure soared in a short period of time, and his mood changed violently, which caused the liver qi to go up and the blood rose with the qi, resulting in hypertension.

Hypertension is a disease name in Western medicine, and there is no such disease name in ancient Chinese medicine literature.However, the "Internal Classics" has a long-standing theory that "all kinds of wind and dizziness belong to the liver", and its pathogenesis is closely related to the liver.Liver stores blood, body yin utilizes yang (the liver body is yin, function is yang), governs catharsis, ascends, takes the initiative, promotes sexual desire, evil and depression; it can dredge the whole body's qi and regulate qi and blood.According to the theory of "rising and exiting" in traditional Chinese medicine, "if entering and exiting is abolished, the spirit mechanism will be destroyed, and if the breath is raised and lowered, the qi will be isolated and dangerous."The unity of opposites of ascending and descending is the formation of Qi movement in the body; the balance of exiting and entering is the premise of the body's material metabolism, so ascending and descending are also the basic forms of life movement.

The pathogenesis of hypertension can be summarized as abnormal congenital endowment, loss of control of the seven emotions, internal injury and depletion, worry, fatigue, etc., which cause the imbalance of yin and yang in the liver and kidney, and the disorder of qi and blood functions.

1. Abnormal congenital endowment

Hypertension is related to physical factors, which are mainly manifested in three aspects: congenital endowment, physical properties and age of onset.A large part of hypertensive patients, its onset is related to the patient's innate endowment.

The physique of hypertensive patients comes from the influence of their parents' innate essence, and they have a family history of hypertension.Some people surveyed and analyzed that 88 of 50 people with normal blood pressure had no family history of hypertension, while only 63 of 1 hypertensive patients had no family history.

In terms of body types, hypertensive patients are common in people of two shapes.One is emaciated body, irritable and irritable, often with red complexion, which belongs to the constitution of liver and kidney yin deficiency and liver yang hyperactivity in traditional Chinese medicine. Yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity, so many people suffer from high blood pressure.The other is plump and obese people. This kind of person has a weak spleen and a lot of phlegm and dampness. The wind and phlegm are inflamed, so blood pressure rises.

The incidence of hypertension has a certain relationship with age.The peak age of hypertension is 40-49 years old.Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the growth and development process of the human body is closely related to the innate essence. After the age of 40, the human body's kidney qi gradually declines, kidney essence gradually loses, liver and kidney deficiency, and liver yang tends to become hyperactive, so it is easy to suffer from high blood pressure.

2. Seven emotions out of control
Mental factors are the second factor in the incidence of hypertension.Traditional Chinese medicine has always attached importance to the relationship between the mind and the onset of the disease. When the changes in the mind of a person are too severe and exceed the adjustment ability of the human viscera, the disease will occur.For example, when a person is in a rage, the Liver Qi rises upwards and the blood rises with the Qi, resulting in high blood pressure.Another example is great joy, excessive sadness, extreme sorrow, being frightened, etc., which can also cause dysfunction of internal organs in the human body, and the functions of internal organs such as the heart, liver, and gallbladder are the most disturbed.Hypertension occurs when the liver is disturbed, liver qi is stagnated, liver qi is reversed, liver fire is inflamed, and liver yang is hyperactive.

3. Life disorders
Changes in people's life rules or failure to regulate them can also cause changes in the internal organs, qi, blood, yin and yang, and also lead to hypertension.Loss of work and rest can lead to hypertension.Excessive work damages the human body's righteousness, especially the imbalance of qi, blood, yin and yang in the spleen, liver and kidneys. It is prone to spleen deficiency and phlegm dampness, disturbance of wind and phlegm, deficiency of liver and kidney, hyperactivity of liver yang, and hypertension.Chinese medicine also believes that after middle age, the kidney essence is gradually weakening, and sexual intercourse should be controlled to maintain semen.Such as sexual intercourse, consumption of kidney essence, deficiency of yin and hyperactivity of yang, hypertension will also occur.Excessively comfortable life, lack of exercise, stagnation of qi and blood, poor temper, and high blood pressure will also occur.Diet disorder plays an important role in the pathogenesis of hypertension.Excessive eating of fat, sweet and thick flavors will damage the spleen and stomach, generate dampness and produce phlegm, stagnation of phlegm dampness, disturbance of wind and phlegm, and high blood pressure will occur.Alcoholism helps dampness and retains heat, liver yang tends to rise, and high blood pressure is prone to occur.Excessive eating of spicy and other things can damage the yin and turn into fire, damage the yin essence, and cause the fire to rush upwards, thus causing high blood pressure.Especially for those who are addicted to salty food, the blood vessels will become astringent, and the kidney qi will be damaged, which will cause blood pressure to rise.

The onset of high blood pressure is closely related to physical, emotional, and life disorders. Therefore, the prevention of high blood pressure should also firmly grasp these links and actively prevent them.

Patients suffering from high blood pressure, in addition to asking a doctor for drug treatment, should also carry out active self-regulation.

1. Emotional nourishment

First of all, you can arrange some activities that are beneficial to physical and mental health, eliminate stress factors, and keep blood pressure stable.Such as planting flowers and plants, raising birds and fish, listening to music, learning calligraphy, painting, fishing, etc., can cultivate sentiment, calm the mind and refresh the mind.

2. Self-massage
Massage the head, wipe the forehead with the index finger or middle finger of both hands, then rub the temples on both sides of the head with the palm, then separate the fingers, comb the hair repeatedly from the forehead to the back of the pillow, 5-10 minutes each time.Massaging the head can clear the head, calm the liver yang, refresh the mind, reduce pain and dizziness, make the head relaxed and comfortable, and the blood pressure will drop accordingly.In addition, there are methods such as rubbing the back and taking blood pressure points.For example, rubbing the back is to make fists with both hands, and massage the lower back vigorously up and down for 3 to 5 minutes each time. It has the effects of nourishing the kidney and strengthening the waist, dredging the meridians, and lowering blood pressure.The blood pressure point is 5 cm on both sides of the sixth cervical vertebra. Acupoint pressing can activate the meridians and lower blood pressure.

3. Rub belly

The patient lies on his back, overlaps and presses with both hands, and massages the abdomen in a clockwise direction, each time for 3 to 5 minutes.Rubbing the abdomen can dredge the abdominal qi, strengthen the spleen and stomach, regulate the rise and fall, and have the effect of lowering blood pressure.

In addition, you can also perform self-care activities such as massaging Yongquan point, rubbing toes, sunbathing, forest bathing, and spring water bathing.All kinds of self-care should be carried out for a long time to have obvious effects, especially for consolidating the curative effect after treatment.

Qi and blood disorder is the pathogenesis of gynecological diseases
【Qi and Blood Health Sutra】As the source of qi and blood biochemistry, viscera dominate and maintain all the physiological activities of women. If the viscera function is abnormal, gynecological diseases will come uninvited.

The so-called pathogenesis refers to the mechanism of the occurrence, development and change of the disease. Mastering the essentials of the pathogenesis is of great significance to the treatment of patients.The pathogenesis of gynecological diseases is due to various factors that lead to dysfunction of viscera, qi and blood disorders, which indirectly or directly affect Chong Ren, uterus, cell veins, and cell collaterals. , Miscellaneous diseases.

Yang Yang, who had just divorced, looked very good, her face was full of girlish luster, and her skin was rosy and fair.She said: "The complexion is very good now, and it was much more terrible a year ago." For that failed marriage, like many unfortunate women, she also felt heartbroken.

"Like all the painful divorced women, I spent a period of life that was worse than death. I was so angry that I lost a lot of hair, stubborn insomnia, menstrual disorders, amenorrhea, breast hyperplasia, anemia, and increased leucorrhea... Love ran away. , the marriage is gone, but almost all gynecological diseases have come to my door. I didn't take the initiative to seek death, but that feeling is more terrifying than death."

How did Yang Yang come back to life later?

Yang Yang said that it was her name that inspired her to recover.Maybe it's because of the serious internal injury, although Yang Yang took a lot of medicine, his condition still hasn't improved, and his body still can't return to the way it used to be.Yang Yang was very anxious, but the doctor told her helplessly: "Heart disease needs to be healed, and the bell needs to be untied. When your mentality returns to the original state, the disease will disappear on its own."

Yang Yang thought about what the doctor said, and suddenly remembered her own name, so she told herself: she must be worthy of the name her parents gave her, and live like a sunny girl.

From then on, Yang Yang began to implement positive psychological hints to herself, and faced life with a smile.As a result, she really succeeded, lived a brilliant life, and became healthy.

Why a bad mood can lead to gynecological diseases?According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the viscera are the source of Qi and blood biochemistry, leading and maintaining women's physiological activities. If the viscera malfunctions, various gynecological diseases may occur.If you are in a bad mood, the liver, kidney, and spleen will be the first to be affected, which will lead to diseases.The occurrence of gynecological diseases is mainly based on the dysfunction of liver, kidney and spleen.
