According to the theory of Chinese medicine, when a person gets sick, it must be the “yang” that goes wrong first and finally accumulates to the “yin” that goes wrong. Many diseases are a mixture of yin and yang, not just yin deficiency or yang deficiency, if you can’t tell, it will lead to many problems in the body. Experts point out that the function of the body’s five organs and six bowels depends on Yang Qi to promote, and the main role of Yang Qi is to defend against disease. The main function of Yang Qi is to defend against diseases. Insufficient” “Yang Qi if sufficient thousand years of life” …… in the market hot health care books, you can often see such words. Indeed, Yang Qi is vital to the human body. The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine, “Su Wen – angry Tong Tian Lun” mentioned, “Yang Qi, if the sky and the sun, lost its place is a broken life and not manifest.” “Yang is the one who defends the outside and is solid.” In other words, the yang energy of the human body is like the sun in the sky, if the sun is gone from the sky, there will be no life on earth; if people do not have yang energy, life will stop. The longevity of a person should be implemented on top of Yang Qi. Longevity is often sufficient Yang Qi, on the contrary, if Yang loses its place, there is a risk of life loss and short life. Whether our body is strong or not, and whether it can resist the invasion of external evil, depends on the role of Yang in protecting the outside. According to Chinese medicine, Yang Qi has three major roles: first, biochemical, the body relies on Yang Qi to biochemically produce Qi and blood, essence, blood and fluid; second, the role of propagation, the body’s Qi and blood, fluid and major essence rely on Yang Qi to transport and disperse; third, the role of external defense, Yang Qi has a defensive and external role, that is, to defend against disease. How is Yang Qi depleted? Since Yang Qi is so important, you must be interested in knowing what kind of temperament it has in the body? And how is it depleted? Yang qi has a pattern of rising and falling. In spring, it starts to develop, in summer it reaches its limit, in autumn it starts to converge, and in winter it is hidden. On a day-to-day basis, the daytime is equivalent to spring and summer, and the nighttime is equivalent to autumn and winter. In other words, every morning when we wake up and open our eyes, Yang Qi starts to develop in our body. At noon, Yang energy reaches its limit and then gradually declines. In the evening, yang energy enters yin, and at night, it is hidden. When yang energy enters yin, people are ready to sleep. The human biological clock actually works according to the law of Yang Qi. Case 1] Disorder in work and rest hurts Yang Qi A patient with a disorder in her biological clock caused Yang Qi deficiency, she is a trainee nurse, 23 years old, and her main symptom is that “no matter how long she sleeps, she always wakes up sleepy every day. After careful questioning, the doctor found the cause of the female nurse’s illness: she worked night shifts twice a day and was always busy until 2:00 or 3:00 a.m. every day before going to bed. The work and rest time is contrary to the law of Yang Qi rising and falling, the body’s Yang Qi is consumed quickly, and Yang Qi is not enough, people do not have energy, so the nurse will feel tired and sleepy even if she sleeps until almost noon every day before getting up. The second example is that overexertion consumes yang energy Strenuous exercise and overexertion will also accelerate the depletion of yang energy. Zhang Jing said that the yang energy in the body is in a dynamic state, but when a person exercises vigorously, the yang energy will be dispersed outward. She once saw a patient who would get a fever whenever she was tired. Zhang Jing believed that the patient was suffering from internal fever. In the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine, it is said that “Yang qi, when disturbed by exertion, will spread”, which means to leap. Traditional Chinese medicine advocates the use of quiet to maintain health, especially in the evening, at night or in the autumn and winter when Yang Qi is hidden, to avoid strenuous exercise. Ms. Qin ate frozen food, it is easy to diarrhea. The doctor said that this is actually a manifestation of Yang Qi deficiency. Zhang Jing explained that Yang Qi starts to develop in the spring and gradually goes to the surface of the human body. In the summer, Yang Qi is the most vigorous, the Yang Qi in the human body are basically emitted to the body surface, the Yang Qi left in the body is less, the ability to resist disease is weakened, at this time over-eating cold food, it is easy to cause physical discomfort. The role of Yang Qi in the human body is mainly reflected in its function. Yang Qi is like heat energy, the normal functioning of the organs and bowels depends on it. If the Yang energy in the body is depleted too much, then the function of the five organs and six bowels will have problems. Lung Yang deficiency makes people susceptible to external sensations Main symptoms: The most important characteristic of people with Lung Yang deficiency is that they easily catch colds and coughs, and they stay sick for a longer period of time. Children with deficiency of lung yang often have a white face and are prone to external sensations. Therefore, the most important thing for people with deficiency of lung yang is to “eat and drink in accordance with their own condition, not to eat too much of the five flavors, and to add and subtract clothes according to the climate change. The key is to eat according to one’s condition, not to eat too much of the five flavors, and to change clothes according to the climate. Insufficient kidney yang, urinary system disorders Main symptoms: Zhang Jing once saw a patient, a male in his 60s, who came to the clinic with bone pain. After detailed consultation, Zhang Jing learned that the patient had a winter swimming habit when he was young, which was the cause of his illness, because in winter, Yang Qi is closed, and excessive or strenuous exercise at this time will cause Yang Qi to be released to the outside. There are two main types of manifestations of kidney yang deficiency, one is the malfunction of kidney gasification and water filtration, which is manifested as frequent urination or urination; the second is the manifestation of reproductive function abnormalities, such as impotence in men and menstrual disorders in women. The main points of conditioning: it is advisable to eat more warm food such as mutton, avoid strenuous exercise in the evening and in autumn and winter, and try to go to bed early and get up late in the winter when Yang Qi is closed, so that Yang Qi can be well stored. Insufficient heart yang is poor blood flow in the human body Main symptoms: The blood flow is mainly driven by the heart yang, once the heart yang is insufficient, the blood circulation in the human body will become poor, the heart blood is easily blocked, and people will have symptoms such as cold back, chest tightness, heart pain and chest pain. Clinically, many patients with coronary heart disease suffer from a deficiency of heart yang. Key points of conditioning: To nourish the heart yang, experts recommend using Gui Zhi Gan Cao Tang. The specific dosage depends on the actual condition. Clinically, for patients with general condition, a formula of 10 grams of Gui Zhi and 6 grams of Licorice is used to regulate; for more serious condition, Licorice is increased to 30 grams and Gui Zhi is used 10~15 grams. Spleen Yang deficiency poor digestive function Main symptoms: The spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation. If the spleen is deficient in Yang, the function of transportation and transformation of water and grain will be abnormal, and the person will have dullness (poor appetite), undigested food, bloating and fullness of stomach and abdomen, undigested stools (i.e. what is eaten is pooped, and the food is not digested at all), and looseness. Key points of conditioning: avoid cold, fatty, sweet and greasy diet, it is appropriate to eat light, soft food; eat more grains and cereals such as eight porridge, lotus seeds, lentils, Huai Shan and other foods that strengthen the spleen.
