Chapter 104: What is Reducing the South and Replenishing the North?
"Teacher Liu has been in this situation for about two years."
Li Duanyang spoke gently and calmly.
"..."
Now Liu Hongyun looked a little shocked.
It may be possible to guess what kind of difficulties he may have, but can he also guess the time?
"Xiao Li...well, Duanyang, do you think this problem of mine is easy to cure?" Liu Hongyun sat upright and asked.
"Disharmony in sexual intercourse is actually just a sign. The fundamental cause is the disharmony between the mental state and the internal organs in the body, as well as the deficiency of yin and yang qi and blood. Teacher Liu should usually have some dizziness, soreness in the waist and knees, and general fatigue.
Symptoms?"
Liu Hongyun nodded.
Li Duanyang continued speaking calmly and gently.
"So we should start by adjusting the mental state and the yin and yang qi and blood conditions of the internal organs. The main thing is to adjust the problems of the liver, spleen, and kidneys."
"Kidney is the foundation of innateness. Kidney essence and kidney yang are directly related to the harmony of sexual intercourse. It goes without saying."
"The spleen is the source of qi and blood biochemistry and the foundation of acquired life. It supplies qi and blood for the whole body. Qi, essence, and blood can transform into each other, and they are naturally related to the profit and loss of kidney essence and kidney yang."
"The liver governs dispersion and regulates the qi movement of the whole body. If the qi movement is not smooth, it will naturally affect sexual intercourse. The function of the liver is most easily affected by emotions, so the vicious cycle of mental and physical interaction affects the liver.
Nowhere is that more evident than here.”
"In addition, the liver governs the tendons, well, this situation is also obvious."
The liver governs the tendons. As for that organ, are the tendons very important?
If the liver qi is stagnated, the qi movement is not smooth, coupled with spleen deficiency and kidney deficiency, without adequate nutritional support, will the tendon be able to be agile, flexible, and durable/strong/strong?
Therefore, what Li Duanyang means by saying such a long line of words is, Teacher Liu, do you think it can be cured or not?
It’s not like you were frightened and wilted by a sudden fright, nor did you wilted after a fall. Those two situations are sometimes easier to treat.
As for the problems all over the body, naturally they have to be taken care of slowly.
"Teacher Liu, in this case, you cannot use velvet antler, osmanthus, aphrodisiac, leek, epimedium and other yang-strengthening products to supplement your body. This will cause the phase fire to become stronger and the true yin to become exhausted. Nor can you use it.
Just supplement yin or supplement yang to make up for it.
Replenishing yang will damage yin, and replenishing yin alone will cause qi blockage due to its nourishing and greasy properties. Therefore, yin and yang must be replenished in an even balance, and at the same time, the yin and yang must be replenished, and at the same time, it must clear away heat and sort out the liver qi. This must be done slowly, and it will take more than one
Let’s recover in a couple of months.”
Li Duanyang finally gave a rough time.
"It would be great if it could be effective in such a short period of time!" Liu Hongyun immediately cheered.
"This requires Teacher Liu to reduce his workload a little, maintain a good mood and do more exercise appropriately." Li Duanyang added.
"I'll try my best." Liu Hongyun smiled bitterly, and then asked doubtfully: "But I feel like I'm not too tired at ordinary times? Why do I become so weak?"
Li Duanyang took a sip of tea and said: "The two fires of the king and the prime minister act rashly, causing frequent omissions."
This is a more euphemistic way of saying it. Translated into vernacular, it means that your heart is always acting erratically, causing the fire in your heart and kidneys to dry up, so much that you have nocturnal emissions/ejaculation from time to time!
Lord fire is heart fire, and phase fire is liver fire and kidney fire, mainly referring to kidney fire.
After Li Duanyang finished speaking, Liu Hongyun realized that the meaning of his words was a little embarrassing, so he said: "So it needs to be treated by purging the south and replenishing the north, and tonifying and replenishing."
"By the way, Dr. Li, what does it mean to purge the south and replenish the north?" Liu Hongyun asked hurriedly.
On the one hand, it's to relieve the embarrassment, but on the other hand, I really don't understand.
“This is a view of the relationship between the internal organs and the five elements in traditional Chinese medicine.
In the diagram of the relationship between the internal organs and the five elements in traditional Chinese medicine, the north is kidney (water), the south is heart (fire), the west is lung (metal), the east is liver (wood), and the middle is spleen (earth).
So the so-called purging the south and replenishing the north means purging the heart fire and tonifying the kidney water."
Liu Hongyun smiled after hearing this and said: "Then why don't you just say it's purging the heart fire and tonifying the kidney water, instead of saying it's purging the south and tonifying the north?"
These words have a hint of comparison in asking for advice.
"It's different." Li Duanyang took a sip of tea, "Simply talking about purging the heart fire and nourishing the kidney water is a static statement that separates the relationship between the internal organs. And speaking of purging the south and replenishing the north, it means that this treatment plan will cause
All changes in other internal organs are taken into consideration.”
"The internal and external restraints of the five elements include a series of interactions and changes between the various organs of the human body. [The mother can make the son strong, and the son can make the mother weak], as well as the mutual restraint relationship such as fire restraining metal. These are all mutual restraints.
part of the role."
"For example, in purging the south and replenishing the north, as a doctor, you should not only consider the issues of kidney water in the north and heart fire in the south, but also lung metal in the west, liver wood in the east, and spleen earth in the middle."
"Water produces wood, so water is the mother and wood is the child. [The mother can make the child fruitful]. The kidney-tonifying water will definitely nourish the liver wood at the same time (that is, using water to absorb the wood). However, it is not good if the liver wood is too strong, and the heart will be dizzy.
Fire, wood generates fire, liver wood is the mother, heart fire is the son, [the son can make the mother weak], purge the heart fire
It can suppress liver wood; at the same time, fire suppresses metal, and purging the southern heart fire prevents it from suppressing the lung metal in the west, which is good for the lungs; also, wood suppresses earth, and suppressing liver wood prevents it from suppressing the spleen earth.
Such a series of interactions is equivalent to taking into account the problems of each organ."
Such a series of logical relationships is actually much easier to understand by drawing a picture. But at this time, it was impossible for Liu Hongyun to draw a picture and understand it in front of a young student, so he was dizzy when he heard it.
When this person first heard this theory, he felt as if he was in a fog.
Li Duanyang said this casually to protect his understanding. Many relationships in it were not elaborated, such as the relationship between northern kidney water and western lung metal, etc. The functions of various organs in the human body are originally a circle.
As long as you touch one organ, it will inevitably trigger a series of reactions and changes in other organs.
After a little deduction, you can come up with a series of logic. For example, if the heart is strong and the kidneys are deficient, the spleen should be purged and the liver should be purged; if the spleen is strong and the liver is deficient, the lungs should be purged and the heart should be purged; if the lungs are strong and the heart is deficient, the kidneys should be purged and the spleen should be replenished; if the kidneys are strong and the spleen is deficient, the spleen should be purged.
It can purge the liver and nourish the lungs, etc.
This shows how difficult it is to get to the bottom of traditional Chinese medicine.
It is a process in which all links in the body are constantly interacting and changing.
The deeper the analysis, the higher the likelihood of your head exploding.
So Li Duanyang stopped paying attention to Liu Hongyun and began to prescribe him medicine.
In this prescription, Coptidis Sichuanum purges the heart fire, and the rehmannia root nourishes the kidney water, which means it purges the south and nourishes the north.
Add a pinch of gardenia to relieve the triple burner fire.
Then use Shenglongmu to soothe the mind and calm the mind.
Then use the sweetness and astringency of the lotus seed meat, which can interact with water and fire to harmonize the heart and kidneys, and calm the evil of fire in the upper and lower monarchs.
This is based on purging the south and replenishing the north. By first purging the body's empty fire, people can achieve a relatively pure heart and few desires, a stable mind, and naturally reduce the amount of nocturnal emissions.
This can be regarded as treating the root cause and clearing up the source.
Tribulus terrestris from Shayuan is a sweet and warm product, which is best for consolidating essence.
Gorgon fruit is astringent in taste and can strengthen essence. It can replenish Yuan and replenish kidney essence.
This is equivalent to connecting two more door bolts.
It can also be filled with semen.
Looking at the entire prescription, it can be said that it is an effective prescription for slowing and toning.
