Hello, I am a Chinese medicine practitioner, Zheng Donghai.
Today I want to talk to you about anxiety disorders. The main manifestation of anxiety disorder is that I feel inexplicably frightened, timid, and restless. It's easy to panic when something happens, and you always feel like you're in danger.
There was a 32-year-old patient who was originally timid because she witnessed an accident, but she was instantly unwell, frightened, flustered, and completely involuntary.
Even after returning home, she was still frightened and frightened, and her heart was throbbing, and she did not dare to stay alone in her room. Go out in the morning to buy groceries, and if it's quiet, she will feel as if someone is going to grab her in the back. When I sleep at night, I have nightmares, always accompanied by screams.
In short, the patient feels that he has lost his soul and is in an inexplicable panic all day long, as if the whole world is in danger.
In a blink of an eye, this incident has been going on for more than ten days. The patient decides to go to a Chinese medicine practitioner**.
On immediate examination, the patient's pulse is thin, and the tip of the tongue is red and thin. At that time, the doctor immediately thought of using the method of calming the nerves. Magnets, cinnabar, mother-of-pearl, keel, afar, stone calamus, these things are used.
The result? After the patient's medication, although he slept better, the feeling of anxiety, fear, and panic in his heart still did not improve.
When the doctor learned about it, he carefully inquired about the patient's mental state before the onset of the disease. The patient stated that she had historically been timid. Seeing people killing chickens and fish, I feel a little unacceptable.
At this time, the doctor changed his prescription. But see-
Cypress kernel, rehmannia rehmannia, prince ginseng, poria cocos, schisandra chinensis, citrus aurantium, dogwood, cinnamon, wolfberry, chrysanthemum.
The result? After taking 6 consecutive doses, the panic and fear in the patient's heart have completely disappeared. Later, the doctor switched to the method of nourishing blood and calming the nerves to deal with the aftermath.
This patient is an anxiety disorder. An acute anxiety attack, also known as a panic attack. Such people often develop the disease after some sudden mental trauma. The main manifestation is that I feel inexplicably frightened, timid, and uneasy. It's easy to panic when something happens, and you always feel like you're in danger.
In our modern view, this is a mental illness.
However, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, there is one factor that must be considered for the emergence of this kind of phenomenon, that is, the patient's bile deficiency.
Because of what? If the heart is deficient, it will palpitate, and if the bile is deficient, it will be frightened, this is the words in "The Theory of Blood Evidence". Our courage, the Lord's decision. Lack of courage and inability to make decisions, of course, people are prone to panic and depression, and the six gods have no master.
In addition, the gall belongs to the wood, and the heart belongs to the fire. Wood can make fire. If the bile is deficient, the heart will naturally be affected. This is the sickness of the mother and the child.
Therefore, this gall is like a ballast stone for people. If it is empty, people will be terrified and uncertain
In the medical case, cypress seeds are used to nourish the heart and blood, prince ginseng nourishes the heart, schisandra reassures the mind, and Poria cocos strengthens the spleen and calms the heart. These are all used to nourish the mind.
In addition, the liver and gallbladder are the surface and the inside, and the liver and kidney are homologous. Therefore, by benefiting the kidneys, it can also promote the rise and growth of bile energy. Therefore, use rehmannia root, mountain corn meat, and wolfberry to nourish kidney yin and kidney essence, and use cinnamon to warm and replenish kidney yang. In this way, the kidney qi rises, and the bile qi also grows.
Finally, use chrysanthemum to clear the liver and gallbladder, and use citrus aurantium to adjust the atmosphere. Chrysanthemum cleanses the liver and gallbladder, what is the purpose? Because I am afraid that the bile qi will be too weak, the liver and gallbladder qi will not rise smoothly, and a depressed fire will be formed. Chrysanthemum gives you a clear spell and further stabilizes the patient's mood.
This is a recipe for strengthening the courage and nourishing the mind through the method of nourishment. It is suitable for people who are weak in bile and lack of blood in their hearts. Patients with anxiety disorders, who belong to this syndrome type, can use it**.
