Regarding depression, the clinical classification of modern TCM is as follows:
1. Liver qi depressed knot type
This disease is the most common in the clinic, patients are depressed, depressed, depressed, pessimistic and world-weary, less talking to people, like quiet voices, restlessness, sometimes upset, suspicious and angry... This kind of uncomfortable symptoms, under the high-precision medical equipment, can not find the lesion mechanism, but Chinese medicine through pulse diagnosis found a common point - string sinking. As the name suggests, it is a low pulse. Why? This is a liver injury. The "Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic" says that the liver master drains, adjusts the emotions, and is depressed, so the internal injuries of the emotions are the first to commit liver, and the liver is drained and the mental depression. The Qing Dynasty physician Lin Peiqin said in the "Quasi-Evidence and Judgment": "All the rising qi comes out of the liver." "The woodiness rises and disperses, and it is not suppressed, and the depression is reversed by qi." From the clinical point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, the main drainage of the liver is mainly reflected in the three aspects of regulating the qi machine, regulating the blood volume, and adjusting the emotions. Experienced old Chinese medicine practitioners often use chai hu formulas, such as small chai hu soup, xiao yao pill, chai hu guizhi soup and so on for treatment. Why use chai hu as the main medicine? The "Compendium of Materia Medica" says that chai hu tastes bitter and cold, and enters the liver meridian. Lan Mao, a physician of the Ming Dynasty, said in the "Yunnan Materia Medica": "Chai Huxing liver meridian reverse knot qi, stop left flank liver qi spasms, cure women's blood fever and burn menstruation, can adjust menstruation." "Therefore, this product can reach the liver qi and relieve liver depression."
2. Qi and blood deficiency type
The most common clinical features in patients are: indifferent expression, happy to be alone, sad and crying, palpitations, dizziness, insomnia and forgetfulness, bloating, fatigue and weakness, tender tongue, weak pulse, etc. Women will have low menstrual flow, light color or inexhaustible, which is a typical deficiency of qi and blood. Why? Generally speaking, it is because of excessive thinking and secretly consuming heart and blood, thinking about hurting the spleen, it directly consumes heart and blood, and the heart is weak, and it will also affect the spleen's transportation function, the spleen injury is less food, the source of biochemistry is insufficient, the camp blood is deficient, resulting in mental loss, God has no master, and eventually forms a heart and spleen deficiency. Spleen deficiency, qi and blood biochemistry can not be on the cultivation of clearing, so there is dizziness, dizziness, indifferent expression, good sorrow and crying, fatigue and fatigue, etc.; spleen main blood, spleen deficiency further development, women will have less menstrual flow, light color or dripping. Old Chinese medicine is the most commonly used gui spleen soup plus minus, gui spleen soup for the classic of traditional Chinese medicine, from the Song Dynasty Yan Yong and "Ji Sheng Fang", the Ming Dynasty Xue Lizhai will angelica, Yuanzhi two flavor medicine added to the original formula, the effect is good, suitable for heart and spleen deficiency, insufficient qi and blood type of depression.
3. Yang deficiency cold wet type
The most typical symptoms of patients are cold intolerance, cold hands and feet, decreased body temperature, and cold heart. In personality, he is depressed, lazy and inactive, mentally weak, and pale. The onset season of the disease is generally in autumn and winter, and the spring is better. Patients generally can't get up in the morning, their spirits are poor, and their spirits will be better in the afternoon as the outside temperature rises. Judging from the tongue image, the tongue is light and fat or has tooth marks, and the tongue is white and greasy. The pulse is so deep that it is not easy to touch by professionals. Conditioning wet cold yang deficiency depression is the most suitable for the method of Fuyang that is often talked about without worry: exercise to raise the sun, do not eat cold, eat more warm food, do not stay up late, bask in the sun and so on. In terms of drug treatment, warm kidney and yang supplement drugs are used. Some patients have been ill in the clinic for many years, and many of them have both constitutions, so they need to be considered comprehensively.
Or ask: Does acupuncture work on depression?
The use of acupuncture methods to treat emotional diseases, which has been recorded in ancient times, can coordinate yin and yang, help correct evil, and dredge meridians, so as to achieve the purpose of improving sleep. It has the following functions: 1. Coordinate yin and yang. 2. Help correct and dispel evil. To correct is to support the ability to resist diseases; to dispel evil is to remove the causative factors. The occurrence and development of depression is also a process of fighting between righteous qi and evil qi in some cases, and acupuncture can help correct and dispel evil spirits, so it can receive the work of improving sleep and activating the meridians. 3. Dredge the meridians.
Commonly used clinically: 1. Baihui acupuncture points. It is the meeting of the Three Yang Meridians of the Hands and Feet and the Supervision Pulse and the Foot Yin and Liver Meridians, which is at the top of the head, and is the place where the hundred pulses meet, which can adjust the middle qi and strengthen the brain. 2. Yintang. For the sake of the outer odd point, the chakra is in the place where the forehead is located, which is also calm and calm. 3. Phase gate points. It is a pit for the liver. 4. Too punching hole. For the liver through the original acupoint, the Taichong acupoint of the feet can relieve liver depression, adjust the qi machine, and then add the inner guan acupoint to relieve depression in the wide chest.
If there is no conditional acupuncture, or if the patient cannot receive acupuncture treatment, the above acupuncture points can be pointed out manually, and the fingers of ten fingers can also be used to tap the wall or table. Located in the middle of the tip of the ten fingers is the ten Xuan Acupoints, "Xuan" is catharsis, and the congestion in the heart can be alleviated by tapping and massaging the Ten Xuan Acupoints. As the old saying goes, "Ten fingers connect the heart." In addition, you can also use the "ten xuan" from the forehead to the back of the brain to do a little buckle action, not only stimulate the ten xuan, but also can refresh the brain, is a common way to treat brain neurasthenia headache, depression, insomnia and so on.
There is an old saying that heart disease also needs a heart medicine. All along, we have thought that "heart disease" is just a matter of thought, there is no physical change, so we do not think it is a disease. As everyone knows, pure psychotherapy will make us have more than enough and lack of strength, not that patients do not want to be happy, do not want to be happy, or that they do not have this ability, which is as difficult as making fracture patients stand up and walk. If you can use traditional Chinese medicine, if necessary, with Western medicine, on the basis of conditioning the balance of the body, combined with effective psychological treatment, I believe it will be more effective.
