For us ordinary people, yang energy is the foundation of one's body. Human life is going through a process of gradual weakening of yang energy.
"The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon" says: Yang is on the top, and those who defend the outside are also. Only when there is sufficient yang energy can a barrier be formed against external evils. The production of qi, blood, and fluid is derived from yang energy. When Yang Qi is sufficient, the five internal organs can be warmly cared for, and people are less likely to get sick.
When Yang Qi is insufficient, the most intuitive symptom is a decrease in body temperature, which leads to slow blood circulation and blood stasis. Phlegm drinking, stones and other pathological products. When the blockage is more severe, it is cancer.
Isn't it that when you hear that yang deficiency brings so many problems, you can't wait to make up for all the yang energy in a week?
So if you want to make up for yang, you must first clarify one thing, yin and yang, and the two can be transformed into each other. It can be said that without yin, yang cannot survive on its own, and in order for it to survive, it needs to continuously absorb yin. Therefore, we must not forget to replenish yin by supplementing yang.
Today, I will tell you about two flavors of traditional Chinese medicine, one is the most yang supplement, and the other is the most yin.
It is ligustrum and cistanche. Why do you choose these two herbs?
There is a principle in Chinese medicine, that is, "first replenish yang and then replenish yin". It is necessary to choose a drug that has a faster effect on yang than on yin. Therefore, Cistanche is the best compatible with ligustrum.
Cistanche is suitable for kidney yang deficiency and decreased function. Symptoms such as weakness and dry stools.
Ligustrum has the effect of replenishing yin deficiency, calming the five organs, benefiting the gods, and dispelling all diseases.
It can treat tinnitus, waist and knee soreness, premature whitening of beard and other diseases. And modern studies have shown that ligustrum not only slows down aging, but also inhibits tumor growth.
All in all, the role of ligustrum is to nourish yin, and the role of cistanche is to tonify yang, the medicinal properties of these two drugs are relatively mild, when raising yin, it will not hurt yang, and when it is warm yang, it will not hurt yin. The best choice for both yin and yang.
