"To truly understand the beauty of Guizhi Soup, you must first grasp the word [sweat] to understand it." Li Duanyang said seriously, "First, tell me your understanding of sweat?"
"Isn't sweat just the body fluid?" Qin Linlin said.
"That's right. However, if you only understand sweat to this point, you will never understand the wonder of Guizhi Tang. Of course, if you only understand sweat, you can't truly understand the wonder of Guizhi Tang. You must also understand the human body
Other mysteries of it, as well as the mysteries of medicinal properties, but first we must have a deep understanding of [Khan].”
Then, Li Duanyang began to explain sweat to Qin Linlin, which made Qin Linlin's eyes wide open. She never thought that the understanding of sweat in traditional Chinese medicine is so much more important and complicated than that in Western medicine!
From the point of view of Western medicine, sweat is just the body fluid that the human body discharges from the pores of the skin. It is called a "water and salt regulator" and a "radiator". It can also discharge toxins from the body when people exercise, are heated, stressed and eat.
I sweat when eating spicy food, that's all.
However, in the understanding of traditional Chinese medicine, sweat is far from this.
First of all, Chinese medicine believes that sweat is the same as the essence and blood of the human body. It is also transformed from the water and grain essence in the human body. Sweat is a clear liquid in the human body and can be transformed into each other with essence and blood. Therefore, it can also be transformed into essence and qi.
, because qi and blood can regenerate each other.
(So ​​sweating means a decrease in Qi and blood in the human body)
Secondly, sweat is dominated by the heart and is closely related to the other four internal organs of the human body.
For example, the lungs govern the fur and are the main regulatory organs for the distribution and dispersion of sweat.
Third, sweating is a sacrifice that the human body has to make to maintain stability. It has a very good regulating effect on the human body.
1. Sweating can adjust the balance of yin and yang in the human body and prevent excessive yang or yin excess in the body.
"Treatise on Febrile Diseases" says that "the body fluids will be harmonized, and the body will be healed by sweating", and "the upper body will be cleared, the body fluids will be lowered, the stomach qi will be harmonized, and the body will be relieved by sweating." This is the truth.
2. Sweating can clear the lungs and regulate the body's qi.
The lungs are in charge of the hundreds of meridians, and they are also responsible for the joints. If the lung qi is blocked, the water metabolism and qi movement in the human body will be abnormal. This importance is self-evident.
3. Sweating can get rid of pathogenic factors.
The sweat method is often used to expel wind evil, cold evil, rheumatism evil and water evil on the surface.
4. Sweating can make the Yingwei qi and blood circulate smoothly, and body fluids can be spread on the body surface to nourish the skin.
(The dangers of not sweating can be put aside.)
Fourth, excessive sweating can cause damage to the human body.
1. It will damage Yin and consume body fluid.
Because sweat is body fluid in the body and can transform into each other with qi, blood, and essence. Excessive sweating will naturally damage yin and consume body fluid.
2. It is easy to cause yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity, causing wind and yang to disturb the head.
This article is derived from the first article and is not difficult to understand.
3. It is easy to injure Yang.
Just like the steaming rivers, lakes and seas, sweat also needs Yang Qi to evaporate. Excessive sweating will damage Yang Qi, or even destroy Yang.
4. It is easy to cause disharmony between camp and guards and invasion of external evil spirits.
5. Body fluid is the lubricating fluid in the human body. Excessive sweating can easily cause a lack of body fluid, causing joints and tendons to lose lubrication and become unable to bend or stretch freely.
"So, the human body can't do it without sweating, and it can't do it if it sweats too much. There must be an appropriate level."
Li Duanyang concluded after speaking a long line of words.
"The [degree] of sweating is automatically controlled by a normal healthy human body. It is not controlled by human subjective will. It does not mean that you can sweat as much as you want, but that will cause big problems.
.”
"However, when the human body becomes ill and loses control over the degree of sweating, the Qi and blood in the body are disordered, and various symptoms appear, this time it has to be controlled by the person's subjective will. If we don't sweat, we will
We have to make it sweat, and if it sweats profusely, we have to control its sweating."
"But after all, people's subjective will is far less accurate than the human body's own control. At this time, mistakes are inevitable."
"This is a problem for doctors. In addition, sweating or antiperspiration of the human body is related to all aspects of the internal organs, qi, blood, yin and yang of the human body. At the same time, it is also necessary to accurately grasp the properties and dosage of sweating and antiperspirant drugs, which is even more difficult.
More difficult."
"For example, the Guizhi Decoction syndrome is, well, it is the syndrome of exogenous wind-cold and superficial deficiency. It includes symptoms such as headache and fever, sweating, bad wind, rhinorrhoea, retching, white coating, lack of thirst, and slow or weak pulse.
, how do these symptoms form? They are formed under the dual effects of wind evil and cold evil."
"When cold dominates the body, when it invades the human body, it will tighten the pores of the human skin at the same time. At this time, good and evil will fight against each other, and the person will have a headache. At the same time, the cold will bind the person's lung qi, preventing the lung qi from being released.
It will naturally cause rhinorrhoea. And cold is yin, which stirs up the dampness evil in the human body and causes chaos at the same time. Cold drinks will rush up, stomach qi will rise, and people will retching. Wait for a series of reactions."
"When the wind is released, it will blow open the patient's skin tissue, causing the patient's bodyguards to become discordant (that is, the border guards are in chaos), making the patient afraid of wind, and beginning to make the patient's bodyguards unable to control body fluids.
, causing the patient's fluid to leak out and turn into sweat, Linlin, do you think the patient will be sweating a lot at this time?"
Qin Linlin was lost in thought when she was unexpectedly asked by Li Duanyang. After thinking for a while, she said: "Han is responsible for pulling in, and wind is responsible for venting. The two functions are in opposite directions. One tightens and the other opens.
Then you shouldn’t be sweating much, right?”
Li Duanyang nodded: "Smart, what a good student! In fact, this little bit of sweat is even smaller than what we usually call white hair sweat. It is almost difficult for the patient to notice. Well, it is just such a small layer of sweat.
.”
At this time, Guo Hongxia wrote a prescription from Li Yiping and passed by them. She was about to go to the prescription to grab some medicine and boil it. When she heard Li Duanyang's wonderful analysis, she couldn't help but stop and listen for a while. If the patient hadn't been arriving soon, she would have
I hurry up and do the work of grabbing the medicine and decoction. I really don’t want to leave.
Well, this junior brother said it really well!
She walked away quietly without disturbing the two of them.
"So, Linlin, what do you think should be done to solve the patient's condition at this time?" Li Duanyang asked softly and gently.
"The two most important points are to drive away the cold and wind evil, and to quickly re-close the gate, that is, to coordinate the border defense forces such as the camp guards." Qin Linlin said, "Hey, this
It’s a bit of a contradiction. To drive away the wind and cold evils, you need to relieve sweating, but to close the door again, you need to stop sweating, and you need to sweat and stop sweating. This is a contradiction. How to solve it? "
"Smart and clever!" Li Duanyang couldn't help but pat Qin Linlin's shoulder and praised, "This is one of the difficulties in curing the syndrome of exogenous wind-cold and superficial deficiency! And for this, the Guizhi Decoction in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" can do it
