When I went to Inner Mongolia 28 years ago, a Mongolian doctor told me that schizophrenia is actually a suffocation of the liver! I thought he was talking nonsense, but I didn't think I was the clown.
Unlike most people, I was born into a family of Chinese medicine practitioners, so I didn't have a choice when I was born. When I was 5 years old, I began to read various medical books, such as "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", "Shennong's Materia Medica", "Yizong Jinjian" and so on.
I started earlier than others when I was a child, and in '96, when I was angry, I thought that my knowledge of Chinese medicine had reached a bottleneck, and there was nothing worth learning from the people around me.
I always wanted to go out, and I went to many places that year, and the most impressive one was to go to Inner Mongolia, where I met a Mongolian doctor.
When I first went to him, I found that there were many villagers who came to see him, so I stayed for a few days, and once I met a schizophrenic patient, he said: "Your schizophrenia is actually a suffocated liver!"
This sentence deeply touched my introversion, and I questioned it at the time, saying that he was just talking nonsense by a charlatan. Unexpectedly, after reasoning with him, I realized that I was the clown.
It turns out that the Mongolian doctors here are very fond of and good at using betel nut as a flavored medicine.
Betel nut can dissipate accumulation, promote qi, dilute water, and dispel stasis, and is one of the more ideal traditional Chinese medicines for the treatment of palpitations, insomnia, and mental disorders.
Let's take a look at a real-world example:
Female, 28 years old, came to the clinic for 8 years due to mental disorder. He developed his illness 8 years ago due to unsuccessful emotional depression.
Symptoms: sometimes crying, sometimes laughing, sleepless day and night, no appetite, general state of physical examination, sluggish expression, straight eyes, no answer to questions, heavy pulse, uncooperative tongue check.
The current symptom is that she always feels that someone is talking about her, often talking to herself, crying for no reason, often hallucinating when she stays by herself, looking at others with different eyes from normal people, and unable to communicate with others, after all, she is withdrawn, and she does not know that she has a mental illness when she is sick, so she is unwilling to cooperate with treatment.
Diagnosis: epilepsy syndrome, phlegm stagnation type.
After dialectic, see the square: betel nut, ginger banxia, making Tiannanxing, morning glory, three ridges, curcuma, rhubarb (lower back), Yin Chen.
After taking 10 doses, the patient's sleep was well improved. Next, after another 10 doses, the condition was basically cured. Clear, fluent answers, normal sleep, and comfortable body.
What's the truth in that?
1. Dryness and dampness and phlegm - ginger banxia, making Aracea, morning glory
Ginger Banxia, making Aracea to dry and damp phlegm, morning glory to eliminate phlegm and cleanse drink, the combination of the three can eliminate phlegm and stasis, so that the brain is clear.
2. Qi and stasis - three edges, curcuma, betel nut
Sanleng and Curcuma are good at breaking blood and qi, and betel nut is good at qi, and can also help Sanleng and Curcuma to dispel qi and stasis.
3. Clearing away heat and dampness - Yin Chen, rhubarb
Yin Chen can not only prevent the accumulation of dampness in the body into phlegm, but also prevent stasis from turning into heat after a long time, and can also relieve the liver and gallbladder to help the flow of qi;
All-round treatment of phlegm and stasis at the same time, and the regulation of qi and blood at the same time can eliminate phlegm and turbidity, dissolve blood stasis, and smooth qi, so that the brain is clear.
In fact, the pathogenesis of schizophrenia lies in the five organs, especially the liver. Liver: Storing blood, the main emotion, what everyone calls anger hurts the liver, this is the truth.
Therefore, schizophrenia is the dysfunction of the liver, or the liver is blocked. Liver dysfunction, qi and blood blockage, phlegm and stasis in the body stagnation, accumulation, blinding the brain, brain and spirit are not nourished, blood and qi can not nourish the brain, then visual and auditory hallucinations.
Now that I'm getting older, I'm afraid that one day I'll leave by myself, and many scriptures and essentials will be buried, so I want to write more things, and I haven't lived in vain in this world.
