Blood is the lifeblood

Chapter 8 Qi and Blood Disorders Cause All Diseases——Most Diseases Are Caused by Qi and Blood Disorders (4)
1. The relationship between kidney and gynecological diseases

The kidney stores the essence and controls the growth, development and reproduction of the human body.From the physiological understanding of the kidney, we can know that kidney deficiency is the root cause of gynecological diseases.Due to the different degrees and attributes of lesions, clinically common pathogenesis of the kidney include deficiency of kidney qi (deficiency of kidney qi, weak kidney qi), deficiency of kidney yin (deficiency of kidney essence), deficiency of kidney yang, deficiency of both kidney yin and yang, etc.

(1) Deficiency of kidney qi
Kidney qi is the qi transformed by kidney essence, generally referring to the functional activities of the kidney.The ups and downs of kidney qi are directly related to the ups and downs of Tiangui.The cell network is tied to the kidney, and the root of Chong Ren is in the kidney. If the kidney qi is insufficient, the Chong Ren will not be solid.It can lead to a series of gynecological diseases such as menstrual disease, leukorrhea, pregnancy disease, postpartum disease and miscellaneous diseases, such as menstrual disorders, metrorrhagia, amenorrhea, leukorrhea, fetal leakage, restless fetal movement, infertility, etc.

(2) Kidney yin deficiency
Deficiency of kidney yin and deficiency of essence and blood lead to loss of nourishment of Chong and Ren. Clinically, late menstruation, less menstrual flow, amenorrhea, pre- and post-menopausal symptoms, and infertility may occur.Such as yin deficiency produces internal heat, asthenic fire causes internal disturbance, and forced blood can cause metrorrhagia, menstrual vomiting and bleeding embolism.

(3) Kidney yang deficiency
Deficiency of kidney yang, dereliction of duty in sealing and storage, failure of charging and functioning, uterine bleeding, menorrhagia, menstrual diarrhea, leukorrhea, pregnancy edema, fetal leakage, restless fetal movement and other symptoms may occur.Deficiency of kidney yang, decline of vital fire, loss of warmth in the uterus, decreased libido, cold uterus and infertility.Because yin deficiency can affect yang, and yang deficiency can affect yin, if the course of the disease lasts for a long time, deficiency of both kidney yin and yang can often occur.

2. The relationship between liver and gynecological diseases

The liver governs catharsis and storage of blood, and its nature likes to be accessible and dislikes depression.If the body is depressed, or mentally disturbed, or the number of Yin and blood is lost, it can cause dysfunction of the liver's catharsis and blood storage, leading to gynecological diseases.Clinically, the common pathogenesis of the liver include stagnation of qi due to stagnation of the liver, stagnation of qi from stagnation of the liver, transformation of fire from stagnation of the liver, dampness and heat in the liver meridian, and deficiency of liver yin.

(1) Liver stagnation and qi stagnation

Too much depression, stagnation of liver qi, abnormal catharsis, loss of overflow in the sea of ​​blood, and imbalance of Chong and Ren often lead to irregular menstruation, breast swelling during menstruation, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, postpartum hypogalactia, infertility, etc.

(2) stagnation of fire in liver meridian

Mental disorders, depression for a long time will turn into heat and fire, and the fire will disturb the rush and work, and force the blood to flow indiscriminately, which can lead to early menstruation, menorrhagia, prolongation of menstruation, metrorrhagia, etc.Inflammation of liver fire can cause menstrual headache and vomiting during menstruation.

(3) Damp-heat in liver meridian

Liver stagnation takes advantage of the spleen, spleen deficiency is lost in transportation and transformation, dampness is generated from within, liver stagnation transforms into heat, liver heat is accompanied by spleen dampness and injects Chong Ren, then it is damp heat in the liver meridian, damages the two channels of Ren and Du, often occurs leukorrhea, yin Itching, sub-drenching and so on.

(4) Insufficiency of liver yin

The liver stores blood, and the blood belongs to yin. If the body is deficient in blood, or the blood is injured, or the liver is stagnant for a long time, the liver blood is consumed secretly, or the kidney yin is deficient, and the water does not contain wood, which can lead to insufficient liver blood and yin deficiency. Hyperactivity of yang leads to menstrual dizziness, menopausal symptoms, pregnancy vertigo, pre-eclampsia and other diseases.If it further develops to extreme heat generating wind and internal movement of liver wind, it can cause eclampsia and postpartum convulsions.

3. Relationship between spleen and gynecological diseases

The spleen is the foundation of the acquired constitution. It mainly transports and transforms the essence of water and grain, and is the source of qi and blood biochemistry; it also transports water and dampness, and is the hub of water and liquid metabolism;If the spleen is deficient in a plain body, or improper diet, or fatigue, overthinking, can damage the spleen, resulting in weakness of the spleen, and the occurrence of pathogenesis such as spleen deficiency failure, spleen deficiency loss of intake, spleen deficiency qi depression, spleen deficiency dampness and other pathogenesis.

(1) Deficiency of the spleen and loss of luck

On the one hand, the essence of water and grain cannot be transported normally, so that the biochemical source of Qi and blood is lacking, blood deficiency and Qi are less, and the sea of ​​​​blood is not full, and symptoms such as late menstruation, hypomenorrhea, amenorrhea, and postpartum hypogalactia may occur.On the other hand, the deficiency of the spleen and the weakness of qi can not transport and transform water and dampness normally, causing the water and dampness to stagnate and flood the body, resulting in symptoms such as menstrual diarrhea, menstrual edema, and leukorrhea.

(2) Insufficiency of the spleen

Weakness of the temper, lack of power to govern, lack of solidity in charge and appointment, menorrhagia, early menstruation, prolonged menstruation, metrorrhagia and other symptoms may occur.

(3) Deficiency of the spleen and qi depression

Insufficiency of the spleen causes Qi to sink, and the inability to elevate can cause symptoms such as difficulty in urinating during pregnancy, protruding and protruding yin.

(4) Spleen deficiency and dampness

Inability to transport and transform spleen due to insufficiency of the spleen, internal stagnation of water and dampness, or exogenous pathogenic dampness and turbidity, or overeating the thick taste of sorghum, all can make the spleen sleepy due to dampness.For example, if water and dampness are obstructed, phlegm will be formed by refining liquid, and phlegm dampness will block Chongren and uterus, and hypomenorrhea, amenorrhea, and infertility may occur.If phlegm-dampness blocks the middle burner, it will affect the ascending and descending movement of Qi in the spleen and stomach, which can lead to pregnancy obstruction.If phlegm and blood stasis intertwine and accumulate in the cells, it can cause lumps in the abdomen.

Visceral dysfunction, lesions can occur in a single viscera, but due to the restraint relationship between viscera and the clinical disease is complicated, it often manifests as a combination of multiple viscera.Therefore, in the clinical treatment of gynecological diseases, multiple viscera are usually regulated together, not limited to one point. This is the brilliance of Chinese medicine.

Qi and blood is the best dentist
[Qi and Blood Health Sutra] If the body's Qi and blood are weak and the ability to protect the outside is weak, it is easy to be invaded by external evils and cause the body's Qi and blood to run abnormally, resulting in stagnation of Qi and blood, stagnation and heat transformation, and many oral diseases.

Oral diseases such as halitosis, oral ulcers, dental caries, and bleeding gums have a high incidence rate, are difficult to cure, recur, and have obvious symptoms. They are a kind of chronic disease that has seriously affected the health and quality of life of modern people.

Experts believe that there are many causes of bad breath, which are generally divided into two categories: one is exogenous (caused by food and drugs), which are usually temporary; the other is endogenous.

Exogenous oral abnormalities that disappear on their own within a day or two are not oral diseases. The oral diseases referred to in medicine mainly refer to endogenous ones. Usually, such diseases last for more than a certain time limit. Taking bad breath as an example, bad breath persists Time exceeds 20 days, can be determined as halitosis.

Regarding the etiology of oral diseases, many people attribute oral diseases to poor diet or excessive consumption of spicy food, but few people associate it with Qi and blood disorders.As everyone knows, many oral diseases are related to Qi and blood.

Xiaofei has always had a "special liking" for spicy food. A few days ago, a friend traveled to Sichuan and brought her all kinds of spicy food.Unexpectedly, Xiaofei ate too much during the day, and her teeth "protested" at night, and the pain was very severe, and it would come and go.

Because it was late at night, Xiaofei took the most convenient self-help method-taking painkillers.The pain disappeared temporarily, but the next morning she woke up dizzy and dizzy, and the toothache came back again. Xiao Fei immediately went to the acupuncture clinic in the community. With the needle, the symptoms of toothache are relieved immediately.

Xiaofei couldn't believe what happened, she said in surprise: "Doctor, you are simply amazing!"

The doctor in charge of the needles smiled and told her: Toothache is a symptom, not a disease, and the real disease lies in Qi and blood.According to traditional Chinese medicine, the large intestine meridian goes to the lower teeth, and the stomach meridian goes to the upper teeth. If you eat too much spicy food, it will irritate the stomach and large intestine, causing toothache.Acupuncture can relieve blood heat and dredge qi and blood.On the human ear, there are acupuncture points for the organs of the whole body.Among them, there is a "facial toothache point" on the face very close to the ear door. Acupuncture at this point can reduce internal heat and relieve stomach fire.In addition, acupuncture on this "toothache point" also has a good effect on dental caries and neuropathic toothache.

Now Xiaofei understood that the magic is not the doctor, but the meridians!
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the ups and downs of human qi and blood are related to the occurrence and development of diseases.Therefore, if qi and blood are abundant, the body's ability to resist external evils is strong, and external evils are not easy to invade, so it will not cause disease. Qi and blood stasis, depression and heat, can also cause oral diseases.Below we analyze the most common oral diseases one by one.

1. Bad breath
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that a strong body, a refreshing mind, and a fragrant tongue are the external manifestations of the normal functional activities of the human body.On the contrary, it may be a pathological phenomenon.Halitosis originates from various acute and chronic diseases of the human body. For example, it is said in "The Origin of Miscellaneous Diseases Rhinoceros Candle" in the Qing Dynasty: "The deficiency of fire and suffocation of heat will cause bad breath if it accumulates between the chest and stomach, or people who work hard and have a strong taste also have bad breath, or lung Burning bad breath.” According to traditional Chinese medicine, it means that the chest and abdomen are not smooth, the turbid qi is reversed, the stomach yin is consumed and injured, the deficiency heat is generated internally, the stomach yin is damaged, the body fluid is insufficient, and the deficiency fire is steamed; the lung yin is damaged and the qi Inverse upward rush; damage to essence, qi and blood leads to deficiency of fire and stagnation of heat, yin deficiency and fluid loss, gastrointestinal liver and gallbladder deficiency, fire stagnation and heat upward steaming, liver fire invading the stomach, inflammation of fire, spleen deficiency and stagnation of qi, cold and heat intertwined, loss of ascending and descending, resulting in halitosis .

2. Oral ulcers
Oral ulcers refer to the occurrence of inflammatory edema, ulceration, and burning pain in the oral mucosa, which can be single or multiple in any part of the oral mucosa.There are severe spontaneous pains, the course of the disease is self-limiting, and usually recovers by itself in about 10 days.Traditional Chinese medicine refers to this as "mouth sore", which often recurs and persists for a long time.Traditional Chinese medicine studies believe that the disease is related to the internal damage of the heart, spleen, and kidneys caused by exogenous insect poisoning, resulting in yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire, damp heat, and blood stasis.

3. Bleeding gums
Most people have had the experience of bleeding gums, but few people will "like an enemy" at this time, and often only rinse their mouths with clean water when bleeding.As everyone knows, this is a big mistake.Healthy gums are not easy to bleed when brushing your teeth. If you often brush your teeth and bleed, there must be something wrong with your gums. "Huangdi Neijing" says that the Large Intestine Meridian of Hand Yangming enters the lower teeth, and the Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming enters the upper teeth.The kidney governs the bone.The lesions of the teeth and gums are generally attributed to the stomach, kidneys, and large intestine.Generally speaking, if the gums are bleeding without swelling and pain, it is due to deficiency of kidney yin and inflammation of the fire; if the gums are swollen and painful, it is because of the excess fire in the stomach.If it is caused by kidney yin deficiency, the treatment method is to nourish the kidney water, and if it is caused by stomach fire, the treatment method is to clear stomach heat.

Although there are many treatments for oral diseases, they basically all belong to symptomatic treatment, and the purpose is to relieve pain, but its recurrence cannot be fully controlled.For oral diseases, prevention is particularly important, and the following aspects should be paid attention to in life:
(1) Pay attention to oral hygiene and avoid damage to the oral mucosa.

(2) Ensure adequate sleep time and avoid excessive fatigue.

(3) Keep your mood comfortable, optimistic and cheerful, and avoid getting angry due to irritability.

(4) Pay attention to the regularity of daily life, balanced nutrition, quit smoking and alcohol, insist on physical exercise, eat a light diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, keep the stool smooth, and prevent constipation.

Finally, women should pay attention to rest before and after menstruation, maintain a happy mood, avoid excessive fatigue, eat a light diet, eat more fruits, fresh vegetables, and drink plenty of water, etc., to reduce the occurrence of oral diseases.

What needs to be reminded is that oral diseases cannot be underestimated.Because of chronic ulcers and other diseases in the oral cavity, due to the frequent stimulation of chewing and speaking, there will be a certain probability of canceration over time.Patients who often suffer from oral diseases should pay more attention.If suspicious, you should go to the hospital for examination in time, and if necessary, perform pathological biopsy to confirm the diagnosis and receive corresponding treatment in time.Don't take it lightly, so as not to miss the opportunity of treatment.
