Health for All says
Sudden death refers to a sudden and unexpected event of death, often without any warning or obvious symptoms, causing great shock and distress to the patient and family. The occurrence of sudden death is disturbing, but the combination of TCM theories and the application of ancient and modern prescriptions can provide some clues to understand the changes in the body before sudden death. Below, I will combine the theory and clinical practice of Chinese medicine to educate you about the possible changes in your body before sudden death.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, sudden death is closely related to the poor flow of qi and blood in the human body. Qi and blood are the basic elements that maintain the normal functioning of our body, and the smooth flow of qi and blood is directly related to our health status. When the flow of qi and blood is blocked, it is easy to cause various diseases, including sudden death.
First of all, the heart is one of the most important organs in the human body. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the heart is the main blood vessel, which is the center of the body's qi and blood. When the heart function is abnormal, it often causes the flow of qi and blood to be poor. For example, the TCM prescription Gucheng Seven Pulses is a prescription for heart blood deficiency and qi deficiency, which can be used to improve heart function, promote blood circulation, and prevent heart disease from developing into sudden death.
Secondly, the liver is closely related to emotions in TCM theory. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that if the liver is dysfunctional, it is easy to cause mood swings and affect the normal operation of qi and blood. When emotionally agitated or depressed, the liver's flow of qi and blood is hindered, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the heart, which in turn leads to sudden death. Xiaoyao Pill can be used to reconcile liver qi, soothe emotions, and prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
In addition, cerebrovascular disease is also one of the common causes of sudden death. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that if the function of the cerebral blood vessels is impaired, it will lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain, which will affect the normal function of the nervous system. Traditional Chinese medicine prescription Guifu Dihuang Pill can improve the function of cerebrovascular vessels, enhance blood flow in the brain**, and prevent the occurrence of sudden death.
In addition, TCM also emphasizes the importance of preventing sudden death. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) focuses on adjusting diet and daily life, maintaining a reasonable schedule and dietary structure. In addition, traditional Chinese medicine also advocates traditional exercise methods such as "Five Bird Opera" and "Eight Duan Jin" to enhance physical fitness, regulate the flow of qi and blood, and prevent the occurrence of sudden death.
In summary, the occurrence of sudden death is related to a variety of factors, including abnormal heart function, liver disorders, cerebrovascular diseases, etc. Traditional Chinese medicine theories and ancient and modern prescriptions provide us with some clues to understand and prevent sudden death. However, we should always be vigilant and detect changes in our body in time to avoid sudden death.
