"Su Wen: The Theory of Lifting Pain" profoundly pointed out: "Yu knows that all diseases are born from anger, anger is angry, joy is slow, sadness is dissipation, fear is anger, cold is reaped, Jiong is angry, shock is angry, labor is exhaustion, and thinking is angry." Zhang Jiebin further commented: "Qi is in people, harmony is righteousness, and disharmony is evil." All the truth and the truth on the outside, the adversity and the urgency, all come because of the qi, so all diseases are born from the qi. This classic medical discourse reveals the extreme importance of qi.
Qi, as a subtle energy inside the human body, is directly related to our health. When emotions fluctuate, whether it's anger, joy, sadness, fear, surprise, or exertion, the qi changes accordingly, leading to a disruption of certain body functions. Anger is angry, which means that when angry, the qi is reversed, which may cause dizziness, Headache and other symptoms; happiness is slow, which means that excessive joy may relax the qi and affect the normal operation of the body; sadness is qi dissipation, indicating excessive sadness and dissipation of qi, which may lead to mental malaise; fear is qi, indicating that when you are afraid, the qi sinks, and diarrhea and other symptoms may occur; cold is qi retraction, and in a cold environment, the qi is convergent, which may cause the body to feel cold; jiong is qi discharge, and in hot weather, the qi leaks out, which may lead to excessive sweating; startling is qi chaos, sudden shock, qi disorder, palpitations may occur, Symptoms such as insomnia, overwork, and qi consumption, which may lead to fatigue and weakness, and excessive thinking and qi stagnation, which may cause chest tightness, abdominal distension and other problems.
Therefore, it is very important to adjust the balance of the qi when treating diseases. By reconciling emotions, adjusting living habits, and using traditional Chinese medicine conditioning methods, the qi and organs can be restored to harmony, so as to achieve the purpose of treating diseases. This view reflects TCM's holistic focus on physical and mental health, and also provides us with a valuable way to maintain wellness.
Qi is a subtle substance that sustains the life of the human body, and it flows endlessly in the body, like a spring breeze blowing on the face, like a clear spring flowing in the face. When the qi is regulated, the five internal organs are like a moisturized field, and the functions can be carried out normally, and the human body is in a healthy state. On the other hand, once the qi is out of balance, it will be like a flood, and the functions of the five internal organs will be seriously disturbed, resulting in metabolic imbalance and various diseases will follow.
Therefore, in the process of disease treatment, conditioning the qi has become a crucial part. Doctors often use acupuncture, medicine and other means to make the rise and fall of the qi into a balanced and coordinated state through the method of "making up for its deficiencies and losing its surplus". It's like adjusting the tightness of the strings so that they resonate harmoniously and rejuvenate the body.
Not only that, but the doctors also emphasized the importance of maintaining the spirit, believing that only the form and the spirit can live the whole life. Maintaining the spirit is like caring for the foundation of a towering tree, so that its branches are flourishing and endless. The adjustment of the qi engine is precisely to make this tree of life grow more robustly and not be disturbed by the outside wind and rain.
Therefore, we can say that the view that "all diseases are born from qi" is not only a profound understanding of the diseases caused by qi imbalance, but also a high-level summary of the importance of regulating qi. Only by normalizing the movement of the qi machine in and out can the functions of the five internal organs of the human body be harmoniously operated, so as to achieve a healthy state of "righteous qi is stored in the body, and evil cannot be done". This is exactly the supreme state of "peace and stability" pursued by doctors.
Qi regulation plays an important role in TCM theory, and it is the key to maintaining good health and curing diseases. When the qi is out of balance, it will lead to the accumulation of pathological products such as "phlegm, stasis and dampness" in the body, which are the basis for the occurrence of diseases and complex and changeable pathologies. Therefore, in the treatment of diseases, regulating "qi" has become the primary task. As the "Danxi Heart Method" says: "Shunqi comes first." "This means that by adjusting the state of operation of Qi, the body's natural healing mechanisms can be promoted.
Doctors who are good at treating phlegm drink do not directly treat phlegm drink, but adjust the flow of qi. Because when the qi is smooth, the fluid in the whole body will also flow smoothly, and the phlegm will naturally dissipate. This treatment method embodies the holistic view and dialectical thinking of Chinese medicine.
In addition, the movement of qi is also essential for the flow of water and blood, depending on the interrelationship of qi, blood, and fluid. When qi travels, water travels, and qi travels blood, which means that the smooth flow of qi can drive the flow of fluid throughout the body, thereby relieving depression and stagnation, and promoting the discharge of pathological products.
It is mentioned in the "Su Wen Commentary" that "the way of the five Tibets all comes from the meridian tunnel, and the blood and qi are not in harmony, and all kinds of diseases are born from changes, so they keep the meridian and tunnel." This indicates that the meridians are the channels through which qi and blood run, and the accumulation of pathological products may block the meridians and affect the normal operation of qi and blood. Therefore, in the process of regulating "qi", it is also necessary to publicize the government qi and open the way to provide a channel for the discharge of pathological products.
To sum up, regulating "qi" can make pathological products such as phlegm drinking, water dampness, and blood stasis excreted from the body under the action of "qi", thereby restoring the body's yin and yang balance and harmony of qi and blood. This treatment method aims to make the body achieve a healthy state of "yin and yang, and the spirit is cured". By regulating qi, TCM is not only able to treat diseases, but also promote the body's natural healing, achieving harmony and unity of physical and mental health.
