Traditional Chinese medicine mainly diagnoses diseases through the methods of "looking", "smelling", "asking" and "cutting".
Among them, the main observation is to observe the patient's mental state, face, body shape, etc. Smelling is mainly listening to the patient's voice, and smelling the smell emitted by the patient.
The question is mainly to ask the patient himself or an insider to understand what symptoms the patient has. The cut is mainly to call the pulse and touch the limb.
The reason for the diagnosis method of looking, hearing and cutting is mainly because Chinese medicine believes that problems in the internal organs of the body must be manifested externally, that is, it can be simply judged which organ of the body may have a problem through some external manifestations of the body.
Whether the spleen and stomach are good or not can be seen by fart, to know whether the kidneys are good or not, you have to look at the waist, to know whether the liver is good or not, it is mainly to look at the legs.
This is really different from the idea that which organ is uncomfortable and may be a problem with which organ is really different.
TCM emphasizes holistic treatment and conditioning, because in TCM, all organs of the human body are interconnected, and the internal organs are in charge of the whole body.
This sounds amazing, but what is the connection between the fart, waist, and legs and our spleen, stomach, kidneys, and liver?
Farts and spleen and stomach
Everyone has the phenomenon of farting every day, some people fart very loudly but no taste, some people fart without sound, but after a while a thick smell pervades the surroundings, so that everyone around covers their noses.
There are also people who want to fart very much, but they just can't let it out, and it is accompanied by abdominal pain and bloating.
People are breathing all the time, whether it is eating and drinking, or communicating, even if they do nothing, people who breathe in this breath will inhale a large amount of gas, and these gases eventually gather in the human body to produce farts.
In addition to breathing, whether the food eaten by people is digested or not thoroughly digested, it will form gas and convert it into farts.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that fart can reflect the health of the human spleen and stomach.
Usually, a person's fart is relatively loud and not so smelly, and this time may just be a general excretion of gas from the stomach.
If there is no sound when fart, but it is particularly smelly after it is released, and you feel a burning sensation, it may be heartburn or food accumulation.
If you want to fart but can't let it out, you still feel bloating and abdominal pain may be insufficient stomach motility and indigestion.
If you fart non-stop throughout the day, it may be a serious accumulation of gas in the gastrointestinal tract.
Another point that cannot be ignored is that people with constipation are characterized by many times and very smelly, but the stool just cannot be discharged regularly.
Generally speaking, stool is mainly excreted by intestinal movement, if there is a problem with intestinal movement, the stool is not smooth, it is easy to cause continuous farting, but it is impossible to excrete.
Other people may be worried that farting in a crowded place is indecent, so they held back at that time, thinking of farting in a place with fewer people, so that always not farting in time will also cause certain health risks.
Fart is a gas accumulated in the human gastrointestinal tract, and it is a bacterium, if it is held back for a long time, it will cause intestinal spasms and colon swelling.
Therefore, for those abnormal farts, such as the smell of farts is particularly bad, farting too many times, such a situation must not be ignored, but need to go to the hospital to check the spleen, stomach, intestines, and targeted treatment and conditioning.
Moreover, you cannot take some drugs or laxatives that help digestion on your own, so as not to delay the condition and affect your health.
And if you want to fart, you must let it go in time, and you can't cause some gastrointestinal problems for fear of embarrassment, because there is a saying called control of heaven and earth, can't control shit and fart.
In order to maintain the spleen and stomach, we should pay attention to the regular eating of three meals in life, eat more easily digestible food, do not overeat, eat less too greasy food, as well as barbecue and fried food.
It is currently summer, and many people like to eat frozen things and drink ice water, which is indeed very refreshing and cool.
But this is easy to make the spleen and stomach cold, which is the reason for the frequent diarrhea in summer, so for the health of our spleen and stomach, remember not to be too greedy for cold in summer.
Waist and kidneys
After reaching a certain age, people are prone to low back pain, waist and knee soreness, and many people like to go to massage or physiotherapy in the face of low back pain.
There are many lumbar physiotherapy devices on the market now, and some are still very expensive.
Many elderly people like to buy it back and use it, but after using it, many people say that it can be relieved at that time, but it didn't take long for the problem of low back pain to be committed.
Because physiotherapy or massage did not solve the fundamental problem, but only temporarily relieved the symptoms of low back pain.
But why is it said that long-term low back pain and sore waist and knees may be kidney problems?
Normal adults generally have two kidneys, located at the back of the waist.
The kidneys are part of the urinary system, which helps the body filter impurities, and the urine that the body excretes every day is the function of the kidneys.
Human urine is also a product of human metabolism, and the kidneys help these metabolic products to form urine and eventually excrete it from the body.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the waist is the residence of the kidney, which means that if you want to know whether the kidney is good or not, you can look at the waist.
Kidney essence is hidden in vitality, generally speaking, people's vitality is injured, to a large extent, it hurts the kidney.
If a person has sufficient kidney essence, then his back must be strong and powerful, and if the kidney essence is insufficient, he will often have symptoms of cold back.
Now the pace of life is generally fast, and the premature graying of young people's hair is not a new thing, in fact, these are related to insufficient kidney qi.
In Chinese medicine, it is said that the main hair growth of the kidney, and the premature graying of hair is a manifestation of kidney deficiency, which means that stress consumes the kidney essence of young people.
Therefore, when there is a sore back and low back, accompanied by premature graying of hair, it is not only possible to relieve low back pain and perform various massage treatments, because the hair is gray, hair dyeing and using various hair growth potions.
All of the above measures are palliative, not the root cause, and even if the symptoms are relieved at this moment, they will be repeated later.
To fundamentally change the symptoms of low back pain, soreness in the lower back and knees, and the premature graying of hair that follows, it is necessary to condition the kidneys.
For example, taking some Chinese herbal medicines that nourish the kidneys, in addition to medicinal supplements, food supplements are also very important.
You can eat more fungus, sesame seeds, and put silver fungus, lotus seeds, red dates, laurel balls, etc. together to cook soup and drink regularly, which can well condition the kidneys.
In addition, in order not to let your kidney essence be consumed prematurely, you should pay attention to staying up as little as possible in life, and do not be too greedy for cold in summer.
Ensure adequate sleep, do not touch tobacco and alcohol, do not eat too heavy food, only in this way can you better maintain the kidneys.
Legs and liver
Leg soreness, leg cramps, and leg pain are symptoms that many people will experience, and generally speaking, people will suddenly have symptoms of leg cramps and leg pain after a lot of exercise.
At this time, as long as you pay more attention to rest, the symptoms of leg pain and leg cramps will be relieved. In fact, there are many causes of symptoms that cause leg soreness, leg cramps, and leg pain.
For example, in the process of children's growth and development, there will be calf soreness due to growing taller, and people are prone to leg soreness due to calcium deficiency at a certain age.
Nowadays, the media often say that leg soreness is caused by calcium deficiency, emphasizing calcium supplementation, so many people drink bone broth and eat calcium tablets for various calcium supplements.
Also, when performing a physical examination, I always think that the sore and weak legs are too low bone density, and it is necessary to enhance bone density.
That is to say, it is now generally believed that the leg problem is either a calcium deficiency problem or a bone problem.
However, Chinese medicine believes that these leg soreness problems and cramping problems may be liver problems. There is a saying in Chinese medicine called the main tendon of the liver.
The stretching of human limbs and whether they have strength in their limbs are all related to whether the liver blood is sufficient.
If a person has insufficient liver blood, a little exercise to measure the legs will cramp. Many elderly people have bad legs and feet, because when people are older, their liver and blood are deficient, resulting in more and more unfavorable legs and feet.
There is a saying: "People grow old before they grow old".
Because people are upright walking animals, all the strength of the upper body is supported by the leg joints.
If the joints of the lower limbs are in a weight-bearing state for a long time, they are prone to chronic lumbar muscle strain, and with age, the leg muscles are prone to hyperplasia or lesions, forming leg diseases.
Athletes and people with heavy physical work are because the leg joints are in a state of weight bearing for a long time and consume liver blood, so these people who need a lot of exercise suffer more from leg diseases after reaching a certain age.
Contrary to a lot of exercise, many people are now sedentary due to the pressure of life and lack of exercise, so that once they encounter some larger sports legs, it is easy to cramp.
In addition, long-term sitting is also easy to cause leg pain, which according to the explanation of Chinese medicine, long-term sitting and less movement make a large amount of liver qi stagnation can not be dispersed, and leg pain will also occur at this time.
Nowadays, many girls love beauty, and their knee joints need to be warm in autumn and winter.
But walking down the street, you can observe that many girls wear many layers of stockings, boots, and then wear tweed coats on the upper body and skirts on the lower body.
Once in early winter, Xiaobian was walking on the street, a little girl in front, I saw her wearing an overcoat on the upper body, a skirt underneath, and her legs were covered with multi-layered stockings, and I asked her: "Are you dressed cold like this"?
She said that although I know that wearing autumn pants is warmer, it is more beautiful to wear this way, and for the sake of beauty, I have to suffer some cold.
As everyone knows, these behaviors of excessive exercise, less movement, and not paying attention to the warmth of the legs in daily life are all behaviors that hurt the liver.
Premature appearance of leg disease due to lack of circulation of liver qi. In order to improve leg soreness and cramps, it is necessary to regulate liver qi.
In addition to taking Chinese medicine that replenishes liver qi, you also need to eat more foods such as enoki mushrooms, jujubes, hawthorn, okra, as well as apples, bananas, watermelons and other fruits, which can well regulate liver qi and replenish liver blood.
In addition, in order to protect the liver, be careful not to eat foods with excessive fat in life. Try not to touch tobacco and alcohol, combine work and rest, and exercise moderately.
Try not to sleep on the mattress when sleeping in summer, so that the bare legs are easy to get cold when placed on the mattress, and the fan air conditioner cannot be blown at people all the time.
It should also be noted what clothes to wear in what season, and you cannot pay attention to the warmth of the legs in order to look good, which will also consume liver blood and leave hidden dangers for future leg diseases.
epilogue
Being able to judge whether there is a problem with the internal organs of the human body through the external performance of the human body is a magical feature of Chinese medicine.
In the view of Chinese medicine, all organs and organs of a person are interconnected, and at the same time, they have their own division of labor, and diseases of internal organs will manifest themselves externally.
Therefore, when our body has uncomfortable symptoms, we can no longer have a headache and a foot pain, and sometimes in this way, although the superficial symptoms can be alleviated, the fundamental problem is still not solved.
When paying attention to low back pain, the root cause is actually in the kidneys, when paying attention to leg problems, the root cause is actually in the liver, and the fart phenomenon that is usually the easiest to ignore reflects gastrointestinal problems.
If you look closely, you will find that when there is a problem with the internal organs, the external body has already sent a signal.
Therefore, in the face of the signals sent by the body, we cannot ignore it, and we must go to the hospital for examination in time to avoid small illnesses dragging into major diseases.
