When Lu Xuan prescribed medicine to the young woman, Ji Xiuwen stopped talking.

To be honest, he hadn't been Lu Xuan's assistant for a while, and he had really never encountered such a situation.

However, when I was in school, I heard about it.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiuwen said with a smile: "I heard the tutor talk about menstrual pain in school before, and I specifically talked about female students who don't have boyfriends, I thought it was just a joke, but I didn't expect it to be like this." ”

"Yes, yes, but it's rare, not all menstrual cramps have anything to do with whether you have a boyfriend or not." Zhang Guangli knew something about this, so he said.

"Can Dean Zhang tell me?" Ji Xiuwen showed curiosity.

Zhang Guangli sighed: "It's not that I can't, it's just that I don't know as much as Dr. Lu, so instead of letting me tell you, it's better to let Dr. Lu talk to you." ”

"And ......"

"To be honest, I don't know much about this part."

After speaking, the two glanced at each other, and their eyes were all at Lu Xuan, who was writing the prescription.

Although Lu Xuan had been writing the prescription very seriously, the content of the conversation between the two was still very clear, and it seemed that he had felt the gaze on his body, Lu Xuan quickly wrote the prescription, put down the ballpoint pen in his hand, cleared his throat and said: "Speaking of this, what I have to talk about is yin and yang." ”

Yin and yang?

Ji Xiuwen frowned.

Zhang Guangli nodded secretly.

The word yin and yang can be said to have run through the entire Chinese medicine.

And the woman, who was already about to leave with the prescription, sat back when she heard this.

The reason why she came to Hui'an Pharmacy to see a doctor was because she listened to someone else's introduction, and yesterday I heard that Dr. Lu would also talk in detail about some medical theories of traditional Chinese medicine, and she didn't believe it at first, but at this moment, she had to believe it.

Even, I was faintly curious about Chinese medicine and decided to sit down and listen to it first.

Several people were sitting in a precarious position.

Some of the patients who came to see Lu Xuan also pricked up their ears at the moment, for fear of missing it.

"In the concept of traditional Chinese medicine, the word yin and yang are extremely important, and there are even theories that the imbalance of yin and yang is a disease. If yin and yang are out of balance, you will get sick. If yin wins, yang disease, and yang wins, yin disease. If the yang wins, it will be hot, and if the yin wins, it will be cold. Heavy cold is hot, and heavy heat is cold. ”

"Here, we have to mention the idea of a flat connection."

"What do you mean by a flat connection?"

Lu Xuan asked himself and replied: "From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, what should you know about being sick?" An imbalance of yin and yang is a disease. Therefore, people slowly feel that looking at Chinese medicine is all about yin and yang imbalance.

But if you can truly distinguish yin and yang, the wisdom of Chinese medicine will be revealed. Therefore, whether it is men and women, old and young, tall, short, fat and thin, Chinese or foreigner, as long as he is relatively healthy, then in the law of yin and yang, it should be in a relative balance state.

Whether it is male or female, old or young, tall or short, fat or thin, as long as it is relatively balanced and relatively healthy, he is in a state of yin and yang balance. In all relatively healthy groups, the unchanging general law is, "Yin and Yang are secret, spirit is the rule, Yin and Yang are separated, and essence is absolute."

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the imbalance of yin and yang in the human body will cause illness, but some people think that the theory of yin and yang is philosophy, and Chinese medicine is using philosophy to see patients, and even think that it is superstition, is this true? What exactly does yin and yang mean in Chinese medicine? ”

Everyone was lost in thought, as if pondering the question.

The word yin and yang, whether you have studied Chinese medicine or not, and even those who know or do not understand it, have almost heard of this word.

For the most part, the word is inextricably linked to superstition.

But in the concept of traditional Chinese medicine, it has something to do with superstition, but it doesn't have much to do with it.

Is Chinese medicine superstition?

Apparently not.

How big is its role, from the traditional Chinese medicine has been passed down for thousands of years, you can know, Chinese medicine and superstition have nothing to do with half a dime, maybe its medical theory is not everyone can understand, and it is not as scientific as Western medicine, but it is such an unscientific medical skill, but it has solved many diseases that Western medicine cannot solve, and has saved countless people.

This is a fact that cannot be concealed.

"In our human body, the warm, caloric qi that can promote the functional activities of our internal organs is called yang qi. Those that have a moisturizing effect and can provide human nutrition are called yin.

Every organ has yin and yang, and only balance can be healthy, yin and yang secret, and the spirit is the cure.

Yin and yang are perverse, and diseases arise. ”

While everyone was thinking, Lu Xuan's voice sounded in their ears: "We can balance yin and yang with food or medicine. ”

This is true to Ji Xiu, who has studied traditional Chinese medicine, and he has heard Lu Xuan mention this kind of knowledge before, so it is not his knowledge blind spot.

And Zhang Guangli knows better.

Balancing yin and yang is not just about medicine, it's also about food.

However, the others were a little incomprehensible, and the doubts on their faces were very obvious.

It can be seen from the wrinkles on everyone's foreheads, and if you don't explain this, I'm afraid few people will be able to understand it.

Therefore, Lu Xuan raised his eyes and looked at everyone, thought about it, and decided to use a relatively simple and easy-to-understand technique to explain this part of the knowledge clearly: "For a simple example, when watermelon grows under the direct sunlight, we can eat watermelon to dispel heat and quench thirst.

Eating watermelon hurts your stomach during the cold winter months, so don't eat or eat less off-season foods. Plants that grow in water, damp, and swampy places must have the ability to resist water, and most of the medicinal herbs that grow on sunny slopes are heat-clearing, because it can resist heat, and if it can resist heat, it is cold.

In the deep ravine, the plant that grows in the place where the ice and snow does not melt, Aconite, its lateral root is aconite, it has the ability to resist cold and dampness, and can treat rheumatoid arthritis, treat true yang deficiency, the whole body is afraid of cold, and the symptoms of cold hands and feet are cold.

This is true not only for plants, but also for animals. ”

Lu Xuan said again: "Ants, burrowing in the damp and dark underground, it must not be arthritis, it must not be rheumatoid arthritis, ants have anti-rheumatic effects, so ants are used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis really has a certain effect."

There is a kind of waterfowl that lives near the water, often eats fish in the water, often stands in the water, and has a certain ability to resist dampness, individual waterfowl have poor physique, and have rheumatoid arthritis, so they fly to the vicinity of the ant nest, fan the ants with their wings, and the ants are enraged, so they come up and bite the waterfowl, and the waterfowl will open their feathers, let the ants bite, receive free treatment, and get formic acid injections for the arthritis of the waterfowl......

These are all very related to the concept of yin and yang in traditional Chinese medicine. Of course, to determine the yin and yang attributes of a food and a drug, in addition to looking at its ecological environment, the animal's natural color and variety are also very important.

For animals, judging its yin and yang attributes, there are some special places, for example, ducks, often active in the water, it is said that the water is negative, ducks should be positive, in fact, ducks are not positive, they are negative, it has the effect of supplementing yin, the reason is that ducks are active in the water, it has more yin in the water, so it is yin.

The chicken runs on the land and is warmed by the qi of the sun, so its own attributes are positive.

Judging the yin and yang attributes of a food and a drug, in addition to looking at its ecological environment, the feeling after eating is more important.

Since medicine and food have yin and yang, our human constitution also has yin and yang. ”

At this moment, Lu Xuan got to the point.

Plants are divided into yin and yang, animals are divided into yin and yang, and people are naturally divided into yin and yang.

It's just that, compared with plants and animals, the distinction between yin and yang in humans is not so obvious, and it is not so simple.

"What kind of people belong to the masculine constitution and what kind of people belong to the feminine constitution? How can people with different physiques adjust the balance of yin and yang through diet and maintain health? ”

Lu Xuan asked multiple questions, and he looked up at the young woman in front of him.

As if feeling Lu Xuan's gaze, the young woman thought for a while, and said hesitantly: "It's similar to the way plants and animals judge?" ”

"Pretty much."

Lu Xuan couldn't say that it was wrong with this answer, but it was also difficult to say that it was right, after all, what the young woman said was right, she just took a shortcut.

"To put it simply, if the person is particularly excited, heat-averse, hyperactive, and extroverted, a person with such characteristics is a positive constitution.

If the person is particularly afraid of cold, introverted, calm and inactive, this is a negative constitution. For people with a positive constitution, we will adjust with negative foods, and for people with a negative constitution, we will use positive foods to adjust. ”

"Of course, that's just one way to tell."

"Is there any other way to judge besides this?" The young woman frowned.

"Nature."

Lu Xuan explained: "Personality is only one of them, it is difficult to say that it is suitable for all situations, at this time, we have to use other methods to judge."

If a person is often afraid of cold, his hands and feet are cold, and he eats a little cold food, he will have diarrhea, which is not only a problem of physical fitness, but also a lack of yang energy, in this case, he needs to use medicine to regulate.

Cold hands and feet, fear of cold, if accompanied by palpitation, heartbeat, it is heart yang deficiency.

If it is accompanied by backache and weak legs, low libido, or even impotence, it is kidney yang deficiency, if it is accompanied by stomach distention, frequent diarrhea, and diarrhea when eating cold things, it is spleen yang deficiency.

According to different conditions, if a person has a dry mouth, dry nose, five heart irritations, small urine volume, and dry stool, this is a manifestation of yin deficiency.

If it is accompanied by palpitation and heartbeat, it is heart yin deficiency, if it is accompanied by backache and weak legs, it is kidney yin deficiency, and if it is accompanied by cough and less phlegm, it is lung yin deficiency.

This is also the main reason why it is difficult for us to have an effect on dietary supplements, although the dietary supplements are flat, but the effect is difficult to achieve the curative effect. ”

"But ......"

Lu Xuan changed his words and continued: "If you use medicine to correct the human body, you can't go too far, if you don't go too far, things will be reversed.

"The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" has a saying: "If yin wins, yang will be sick, and if yang wins, yin will be sick." If the yang wins, it will be hot, and if the yin wins, it will be cold. Heavy cold is hot, and heavy heat is cold. ”

If you use negative medicine, and if you overdo the cold medicine, you will consume your yang energy, and you will have cold symptoms. ”

"For example, I heard a story before, there was a young man who drank a few sips of water when he was swimming, and when he came home, he had a stomachache, tenesmus, pus and blood in his stool, and went to the hospital for a laboratory test, saying that it was acute dysentery, and then he went to see a doctor with Chinese medicine, saying that it was a disease of yang heat, and a mild fever, so he was prescribed cold medicine, negative medicine, and said that he only took five pairs, and he took a day and the fever subsided, and he didn't pull it at all after eating for two or three days, and the five pairs of medicines were basically fine.

Because he had an uncle who also had dysentery, he was not completely cured, and he recurred every year when he got dysentery, forming a chronic recurrent dysentery.

The young man thought that this time the Chinese medicine was so powerful, and it was important to be able to eradicate it, and then he ate five pairs, and when he was about to finish eating, he began to pull again, thinking that he had not been cured before, so he bought five more pairs and then ate them, and the more he ate, the more he pulled them.

In the end, I can only go to the old Chinese medicine to recuperate, but this time the diarrhea is caused by the deficiency of the spleen and stomach, and I can no longer take cold and bitter cold medicine, which is overkill, and I eat too much cold medicine, which hurts the yang qi of the spleen, and now the diarrhea is not acute dysentery, but the manifestation of spleen yang deficiency, spleen qi deficiency, and cold and damp betting. Then he was given warm medicine and positive medicine to get better.

Speaking of which, I have to mention that if Yang wins, Yin will be sick, and Yang will be hot.

What do you mean?

If the positive medicine is used too much, it will hurt the yin fluid.

I have a friend, much older than Dean Zhang, is an old Chinese medicine doctor, there was a lady who came to see him before, the leucorrhea was thin and abundant, like running water, constantly had to return the pads, and from the waist down to the legs, it was as cold as soaking in cold water.

Western medicine diagnosed her with pelvic inflammatory disease, and at that time, my friend thought it was a symptom of yang deficiency and dampness, so he prescribed a medicine to warm yang and improve water, and after a week, she left.

In the third week, her husband came to my friend, saying that after taking the medicine, his daughter-in-law quarreled with him every day for no reason, so he came to ask, it turned out that when he ate to the second week, he felt dry mouth, and in the third week, he was upset and always wanted to quarrel with people, and the unit could not quarrel with people, so he had to find a family member.

When I heard this, I understood it at the time.

Why? “

"The sun has passed?" The young woman asked subconsciously.

"Yes, the sun has passed."

Lu Xuan nodded and said: "I prescribed her yang heat medicine before, and if I used it too much, I would hurt the yin, and if the yin was insufficient, I would be upset, impatient, and insomnia."

In fact, the diet is also like this, we go to the restaurant to eat, many restaurants come up with a cup of chrysanthemum tea, chrysanthemum tea is negative and heat-clearing, is it possible for all people to drink it? ”

"Probably not." The young woman was not sure.

"Not should, but for sure."

Lu Xuan shook his head and said, "What kind of person can't drink chrysanthemum tea?" How to drink chrysanthemum tea is the healthiest? Why do some people get more and more angry the more they clear the fire?

If it is said that the sun is hot and the weather is hot, it is okay to drink a little bit of this negative, cool chrysanthemum tea and herbal tea.

But drinking it all year round, for a long time, will hurt your evil yang energy, leading to a new imbalance of yin and yang.

Some elderly people feel that they are on fire, mouth ulcers recur, they are always thirsty, and their throats are dry, so they take the medicine to clear the fire, and the more they eat, the drier it becomes.

Canker sores are getting more and more flared up, what's going on?

In fact, the elderly are often deficient in yin and yang, and her feeling of being on fire is because after yin deficiency, the false fire is caused by inflammation, which is a false fire, not a real fire.

On the contrary, it makes one's yang qi even weaker, and if the yang qi is insufficient, it cannot metamorphose into yin fluid.

The metaplasia of our body's yin fluid relies on yang energy as a driving force to push it, so the more we take heat-clearing medicine, the more deficient the yin fluid is, and the more vigorous the void fire becomes. This is why the more the elderly take the medicine to clear the fire, the more they feel like they are on fire.

Therefore, no medicine can be excessive. However, it is also extremely difficult to grasp this dosage, and not every doctor can do it easily.

Moreover, this requires the cooperation of the patient. ”
