The representative of the heart in the human body: face, tongue, pulse, joy, sweat.Take care of your health, do these things well!
Do you know which of the five internal organs of the human body is the most important? Both are important, but relatively speaking, which is the most important? Think about it, the liver, spleen, kidney, and lung can all be cut, but can the heart be cut? So the heart is the most important thing!
Because the heart in traditional Chinese medicine is the dwelling of the gods and the official of the monarch.
The heart is the dwelling of the gods, the master of blood, and the sect of the pulse. The five elements belong to fire.
I try to explain in modern language. Let the students who are interested in learning Chinese medicine see clearly, not in the fog.
Heart
Physiological function:
① main blood vessels
②The main god
The beauty of the heart is on the face, the orifices are opened on the tongue, the body is connected with the channels, the will is joy, and the fluid is sweat. The heart and the small intestine are inside and outside.
This article mainly describes the traditional Chinese medicine function of the heart, which has nothing to do with modern research on the heart and can communicate with each other.
The blood vessels of the whole body are all under the management of the heart. Relying on the yang qi of the heart to promote the whole body and exert the function of nourishing the whole body.
The function of the heart and main blood vessels depends on three aspects: abundant heart qi, blood filling, and smooth channels.
Insufficiency of heart-qi: palpitation, shortness of breath, fatigue, aggravated by activity, do not want to speak, but speak in a low voice, because speaking consumes heart-qi.
Insufficient effort: dull complexion, rosy lips and nails, some paleness, dizziness, insomnia, dreaminess, forgetfulness, neurasthenia, and fright. People with insufficient blood will also experience chest tightness, palpitations and shortness of breath.
Further development is
The arteries are blocked, the blood flow is not smooth, and there is blockage, which is medically called cardiac blood stasis
Heart and blood stasis: In addition to the above symptoms, there is also pain in the chest area, lips and nails are not pale, but purple due to ischemia and hypoxia, also known as "cyanosis" in medicine. The tongue is dark purple or has ecchymosis.
Second, the main god
This god is a bit mysterious, saying that Chinese medicine is unscientific. This is not to prove that the mind is the master of the gods, there are not thousands of words that can't be said.
Here is a question for a friend who doubts this sentence. Now medicine says that the brain is the most important. But what about vegetative people? The vegetative brain has lost its function, but the heart is still active. But if the heart is not beating, can the brain function still exist? Everyone has gone to see Marx, what else is there to do?
The functions of the brain are many and very important, but they must be attached to the heart.
The heart of Chinese medicine is not a simple heart, but a system.
Zhang Jiebin explained it very clearly: the heart is a monarch of one body, with a vain spirit and good fortune. One of the reasons is to respond to all things, the internal organs and bones, and only the destiny, so it is called "the gods come out".
The interpretation of the gods and the gods, modern textbooks have a lot of misunderstandings, so the editor can only talk about what I think is the most suitable, and read it by yourself if you are interested.
God here refers to the embodiment of human life activities and is the master of human vitality.
Xu Lingtai said: The heart is the master of the whole body, and all the internal organs are obeyed by the heart. Nei Jing: If you have the spirit, you will live, if you lose the spirit, you will die.
Weakness of heart qi will lead to negative emotions, and in severe cases, it will lead to world-weariness.
The manifestations of mental disorders: insomnia and dreams, dementia, manic depression, confusion and even coma, etc.
The beauty of the heart is on the face, the orifices are opened on the tongue, the body is connected with the channels, the will is joy, and the fluid is sweat.
These editors mentioned the first three in the previous article (attached: "Heart" is not good, three phenomena tell you that it is the right time to nourish the heart in summer. Links), and now let's talk about the last two.
Heart and joy correspond.
Five internal organs: liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney
Corresponding to the five wills: anger, joy, sadness and fear
When people are happy, it helps the heart function, and people feel refreshed when they have happy events, right? Here hi refers to some happy things, benign psychological stimulation. Smile for ten years.
But unhappy things will hurt people's minds and distract their minds. There is a saying that there is no greater sorrow than death. That's it.
How is Khan related to the heart?
In Chinese medicine, blood and sweat have the same origin.
Sweat is the liquid discharged from the sweat pores through the transpiration and vaporization of body fluids. Because the heart dominates blood, Chinese medicine also has the theory that blood and sweat have the same origin, that is, sweat is separated from blood, and the heart dominates blood, so there is a saying that "sweat is the fluid of the heart".
People who sweat a lot are mostly qi deficiency and yang deficiency, and sweating is more severe after exercise. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that exercise depletes yang qi. Sweating a lot is very bad for your health and wellbeing.
Nurturing the heart first. The heart is the foundation for ensuring the healthy functioning of the zang-fu organs. First, let’s summarize how to nourish the heart: open-minded, calm and empty, walk more, and there are many acupuncture points on the soles of the feet, which are not only good for the heart, but also for other organs. Eat some food that nourishes Qi and nourishes the heart.
