People with gallbladder polyps often experience a range of physical and emotional discomforts. These symptoms may confuse you, but from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, they are often closely related to liver stagnation and qi stagnation.
Do you often feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, shortness of breath when you walk a little faster, and you can't speak? These can be signs of liver qi stagnation. In addition, low mood, difficulty concentrating, memory loss, and even difficulty fitting into a lively scene can be emotional distress caused by poor liver qi.
In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, when the liver qi is not smooth, it will not only affect the stability of emotions, but also affect other internal organs, including the gallbladder which is closely related to the liver. Once the liver qi is stagnant, the health of the gallbladder will also be threatened, which is also a possible reason for the formation of gallbladder polyps.
There must be many people around us who are afraid of the cold, and their hands and feet are often cold. In fact, your fear of cold is not necessarily due to yang deficiency, but also due to liver depression.
Traditional Chinese medicine refers to this disease as "yang syndrome like yin", which means that although you have yang syndrome, the body manifests yin syndrome.
Why can't the qi of yin and yang be interconnected? There is a condition that is caused by stagnation of liver qi. If you find it difficult to understand, then let me give you a simple example and you will understand.
In summer, when the sun shines directly on the earth, if you walk outside unobstructed, you will feel the heat from the air above your head to the ground under our feet, but if you walk under the shade of the trees, you will feel that the temperature has dropped several degrees in an instant. Why? It's because the shade of the trees blocks the air circulation above and below.
The liver is responsible for the regulation of the movement and distribution of qi throughout the body, and the yang qi depends on the smooth circulation of qi to fully diffuse to the whole body. However, after the stagnation of liver qi, the circulation of qi is not smooth, and although the yang qi in the body is sufficient, it cannot reach the ends of the body such as the hands and feet, so you will always feel cold in the hands and feet.
Therefore, at this time, the focus is not to replenish yang, but to drain the liver, so that the function of the liver master to drain is normal, so that the body's qi circulation can be restored smoothly, and the treatment of gallbladder polyps is also such an idea. Here I would like to share with you a classic recipe for soothing the liver, Bupleurum soothing the liver.
Bupleurum Shugansan is evolved from the addition and subtraction of the famous formula of scattering cold and the four inverse dispersions, and the formula is tangerine peel, Bupleurum chinensis, Chuanqiong, Xiangfu, Citrus aurantium, peony, and licorice.
Bupleurum is the best medicine in the formula, which has the effect of soothing the liver and relieving depression, which can penetrate deep into the liver, reach the liver qi, open up the stagnation, and allow the liver qi to flow comfortably. When the liver function returns to normal, the qi of the whole body can be activated.
Citrus aurantium is a medicine in the formula, which can regulate qi stagnation, so that the qi of the whole body that is stagnant due to liver depression will be cleared, so that the circulation of liver qi will be smoother. When the stagnation of liver qi is cleared and liver function returns to normal, the health of the gallbladder will also improve.
Finally, peony nourishes blood and softens the liver, and alleviates the damage of liver qi stagnation to liver function. When the liver is fully nourished, its excretion function can be more powerful.
It should be noted that liver qi stagnation will not only lead to qi depression, but may also cause problems such as food depression, phlegm depression, dampness depression, fire depression, and blood stasis. As a classic prescription for soothing the liver and relieving depression, Bupleurum Shugansan has a certain alleviating effect on these symptoms. Whether it is gallbladder polyps or other diseases related to liver qi stagnation, such as thyroid problems, coronary heart disease, angina, etc., you can try to regulate and treat by soothing the liver and relieving depression.
Of course, it is best to consult a professional physician before using any Chinese herbal prescription to ensure the accuracy and safety of the medication. #胆囊息肉##中医##中药#
