Knowledge and knowledge about health preservation
There is knowledge in maintaining health. Is it our body that is being nourished? Including the body, but also the mind. Nurturing means nourishing and recuperating. It takes time and you have to persevere.
Since we want to take care of our bodies and minds, we must know how physical and mental illnesses come about.
Human diseases today are different from those in the past. In clinical practice, we have found that spleen injury, water accumulation, cold-dampness, emotions, interlocking bones, tendon twitching, and weak lung qi have become the main causes of disease. Therefore, I summarize the root causes of the disease as follows: contraction of tendons, dislocation of joints, injury to the spleen, weak lung qi, accumulation of water, cold and dampness, emotion, cause and effect, virtue, and Feng Shui.
Why hurt the spleen? The spleen likes dryness and hates dampness. Excessive porridge, soup, water, and ice drinking for a long time will damage the spleen. Too much thinking will also damage the spleen. People with spleen injuries tend to be distracted, depressed, suddenly depressed, suspicious, fat or thin, or have swollen limbs, pain in the waist, legs and cervical vertebrae, sprained feet, and heavy legs. Women's elephant legs are a typical example. Diabetes and blood diseases are all related to this.
Why are there so many people with cold-dampness constitution? Heavy humidity, air conditioner blowing, cold and dampness, qi stagnation and blood stasis, blocked meridians, muscle contraction and muscle blockage. Cold and dampness accumulate in the back, Yang Qi is blocked, the back is prone to stiffness, resistance is reduced, and it is easy to catch a cold and suffer from waist pain. Cold and dampness accumulates in the head and neck, resulting in headache, migraine, and tightness and pain in the top of the head. Cold and dampness accumulates in the chest and abdomen, causing damage to the five internal organs, diarrhea, and hydrosalpinx, leading to infertility and various gynecological diseases. Cold dampness accumulates in the limbs and travels up to injure the internal organs, resulting in internal organ diseases, arthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
If you don’t like to exercise and work at your desk for a long time, cold and dampness will invade you, you will feel depressed and your muscles will shrink. If the tendons are contracted, the meridians will be blocked, and if they are blocked, they will become ill.
Bone joints are caused by improper posture. Almost all diseases from head to toe are related to this. Frozen shoulder, dizziness, myopia, etc.
If you don’t like to exercise and stay indoors for a long time, your lung qi will definitely be weak. If the lung qi is weak, the kidneys must be weak.
Anger will definitely cause disease, which is called emotional disease or heart disease. Anger, resentment, and annoyance, these five qi produce five poisons, corresponding to the five elements and five internal organs. We are angry every day, which means we are eating poison every day. When it accumulates to a certain level, it is no longer possible not to get sick, but we also get some strange diseases. The good old man Wang Fengyi talks about the nature of disease, which is specially used to treat such diseases.
I won’t go into details about causal diseases, moral diseases, and feng shui diseases here. Everyone can understand them by themselves.
Only by identifying the root cause of the disease and treating it symptomatically can health care be effective. Based on the root causes of modern people's diseases, we know that using only one method to treat diseases and maintain health will not be very effective. We need comprehensive treatment. Generally speaking, I advocate "process therapy": stretch the muscles and set the bones, remove cold and dampness, change temperament, control diet, do aerobic exercise, and maintain a normal daily life.
Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to holistic therapy. You cannot treat the head for headaches and the feet for foot pain. If the rheumatism is mainly in the knees, it is difficult to get rid of the wind and cold by just dredging the knees, so it cannot be cured and requires overall conditioning.
I very much agree with Professor Chen Yuqin’s point of view. No therapy can cure the disease. Recovery from illness is due to the body's self-healing system taking effect. Therefore, we should not be superstitious about medical skills and medicines. If we want to get better, we must find the root cause within ourselves, actively regulate our health, and change passive treatment into active health care.
Diet is the best therapy. In the 30 years since reform and opening up, we have been in a phase of excessive eating for almost 30 years. Ancient medical guidelines suggest 7 types of food for daily conditioning, including rice, cabbage, cabbage, white cauliflower, winter melon, loofah, and yam. 7 kinds of food, mainly nourishing the lungs. The lungs are the storehouse of golden bells. They govern Qi, control Qi, and control the Qi of the whole body. Qi is the leader of blood. If the lungs are not good, the kidneys will be weak, Qi and blood will be blocked, and all kinds of diseases will arise.
Brisk walking, jogging, Tai Chi, and Qigong are aerobic exercises. The standard for judging whether there is aerobic exercise is: exercise that produces a lot of sweat is aerobic exercise, and exercise that generates heat and light sweat is aerobic exercise. Hyperaerobic exercise will consume a lot of human body's yang energy. This yang energy is directly related to people's health and life span, so health maintenance requires nourishing yin and yang. One thing everyone should remember is that 70% of the energy of the human body is consumed by the brain. The back of the human brain is the place with the most yang energy. People who like to wander, think too much, and have constant delusions will definitely be exhausted. Why? Yang Qi is consumed too much. Therefore, we propose that purifying one’s mind is also the best way to maintain health.
Another major characteristic of modern people is lack of blood, and the total amount of blood is not enough. This is Professor Chen Yuqin’s view. Why is there insufficient blood? Energy consumption, irregular daily life, low mood, qi stagnation and blood stasis are not caused by insufficient nutrition.
Nowadays, people's life is very good, but worrying about it hurts the spleen, eating excessively, and the five internal organs are overloaded for a long time. How can it not hurt the spleen? The human body's hematopoiesis begins approximately after dark, with a 14-hour period. The best time for hematopoiesis is at 11 o'clock in the evening. At this time, many people do not rest and maintain health, and often stay up until the turn of the clock. Over time, blood deficiency occurs. If there is insufficient blood, the body will not be in good health, because the body relies on blood to provide energy. 9 o'clock in the evening is the time to nourish the triple burner energy. Can I go to bed at 9 o'clock? I usually go to bed at 10 o'clock and wake up at around 4 o'clock in the morning to work and exercise. I am energetic throughout the day.
Lajin and bone-setting, Xiao Hongci is very popular now, and the method is very simple. Everyone can do it by themselves. The self-correcting bone-setting method taught by Teacher Wuwo is simple, easy to learn, safe and easy to use.
Regarding temperament therapy, I recommend to everyone the series of books written by the good old man Wang Fengyi, which are very useful. This method is not difficult. It is to look for the good points of others and your own shortcomings, reflect on them, and make corrections. We often know but don't do it, which is our biggest problem. Talking is useless, it is better to do it. There is a passage about training the mind, and I would like to share it with you: Train the mind: use Tai Chi to slow down the mind; use the behavior of good people to examine the shortcomings of one's own mind; use good deeds to be compassionate to one's own mind; return to purity in a peaceful heart, See your true nature. Knowing is worse than doing it. Really do what the classics say. Doing it is a state; being a human being is the key, and the Tao is in being a human being. The Tao has laws to follow, and the road lies within yourself. Look to yourself to find the way to become a Buddha. The Tao is not profound at all, it is very simple. Just do it and do it instead of talking about it. If you can't find the Tao in others, you can find it in yourself. If you find your own shortcomings, you will not be far from the Buddha.
How to get rid of cold and dampness? On the basis of Lajin and bone-setting acupoints, moxibustion, or scraping, cupping, and tapping are added. When we unblock the meridians, our body's self-healing system will gradually adjust our body, making it impossible to be unhealthy.
Balance is a healthy state and a healthy method. Too much or too little will lead to illness. Eating in moderation, living in a relaxed and relaxed way, and having a pure mind are all about balance.
Maintaining righteousness is also a good way to stay healthy. If the righteousness is stored, the evil qi will not invade, and the evil will not prevail over the righteous, then people will not get sick. Chinese traditional culture, regardless of Confucianism, Buddhism or Taoism, all talks about "righteousness". The Doctrine of the Mean, staying upright and maintaining the center, the Eightfold Path, and the Four Majesties tell us how to maintain righteousness. Many patients with prostatitis and impotence have sexual intercourse habits, which are all caused by evil spirits.
