Health for All says
With the popularity of social networking and the speed at which information spreads, all sorts of shocking news tend to quickly become trending topics. Recently, a heart-wrenching news quickly spread on the Internet: a young female singer revealed that she had cancer!This news has attracted widespread attention and discussion, and at the same time, it has also made people realize that some people may not really be sick, but have been confused and misled by the trap of "happiness cancer".
The so-called "happiness cancer" is not a real cancer disease, but refers to a pessimistic or sad mood caused by psychological factors. In modern society, the fast-paced life and immense stress make many people feel anxious, tired, and restless. In the pursuit of happiness and concern for the suffering of others, some people tend to misunderstand the situation of others, feel self-sad, and even fabricate their own illness. This phenomenon is called "happiness cancer" because of its pessimistic and frustrating characteristics.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the health of the human body is closely related to many factors such as mood, environment, and diet. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the relationship between the "heart" and the "body", believing that emotional instability and negativity can lead to undesirable conditions such as dampness, heat, and stagnation in the body. Therefore, TCM focuses on regulating emotions and cultivating a good attitude in order to achieve good health.
In response to the phenomenon of "happy cancer", Chinese medicine provides some effective treatment methods. First of all, you should maintain a positive attitude and learn to properly handle and adjust your emotions when facing difficulties and setbacks in life. Traditional Chinese medicine advocates communication with others, and receives care and support from others, believing that such communication can reduce the psychological burden.
Secondly, we should pay attention to dietary conditioning. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that dampness and heat are one of the important causes of negative emotions, so it is necessary to avoid spicy, greasy and other irritating foods in your usual diet, and eat more vegetables and fruits rich in fiber.
In addition, Chinese medicine also recommends some ancient and modern prescriptions to regulate emotions. For example, Gyokuro tea clears away heat and detoxifies, dissipates accumulation and conducts stagnation, strengthens the spleen and lungs, and helps to improve mood. Salvia, on the other hand, can invigorate blood circulation and dispel blood stasis, relax tendons and activate the nerves, help regulate mood and relieve depression.
It is important to note that although TCM provides many methods and suggestions to regulate emotions, it cannot be used as a substitute for modern medicine**. When encountering a real illness, it is still necessary to seek a diagnosis from a professional doctor.
In short, we should be wary of the "happiness cancer" trap and not be driven by the negativity of ourselves or others. Only by maintaining a positive attitude, adjusting your diet reasonably, and seeking the help of a professional doctor can you go further and steadily on the road to happiness.
