Let's talk about the health things of Lichun
Fan Letter] Dear Doctor, Hello! I'm a big fan of yours and have been following your popular science articles. Recently, I have been feeling tired and lacking energy, which affects my daily life and work. I looked up some information on the Internet, and some people said that this may be a manifestation of the deficiency of the five internal organs. May I ask you, is this situation really related to the deficiency of the five internal organs? If this is the case, how can I identify my condition through the tongue and take appropriate measures?
Popular science answers] Dear fans, hello! Thank you very much for your trust and support. As for the problem of mental fatigue that you mentioned, it does have something to do with the deficiency of the five internal organs. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the five organs include the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, which are important physiological organs of the human body, and each has different functions. The mutual coordination and balance between the five organs is an important guarantee for maintaining human health. When the function of the five internal organs is lost, it will lead to poor flow of qi and blood, and symptoms such as fatigue and fatigue will appear.
Identifying the deficiency of the five internal organs through the image of the tongue is a very traditional and effective method. Tongue image refers to the observation of changes in the shape, color, and coating of the tongue to judge the health of the human body. Below, I will give you a brief introduction to how to distinguish the deficiency of the five organs through the tongue image according to the functional characteristics of the five organs:
1.Heart: The main blood of the heart, the tongue is fat, there are tooth marks on the side of the tongue, the tongue is light red, and the tongue coating is thin and white. If heart function is deficient, symptoms such as palpitations and insomnia are likely to occur.
2.Liver: The liver is mainly drained, and the tongue is characterized by a thin tongue, cracks on the edge of the tongue, reddish tongue, and thin yellow tongue coating. If liver function is insufficient, symptoms such as mood swings and blurred vision are likely to occur.
3.Spleen: The spleen is mainly transported, and the tongue is characterized by a fat tongue, tooth marks on the side of the tongue, pale white tongue, and thick and greasy tongue coating. If the spleen function is deficient, symptoms such as loss of appetite and bloating are likely to occur.
4.Lung: The lungs mainly breathe, and the tongue is thin and small, the tongue is pale and white, and the tongue coating is thin and white. If lung function is insufficient, symptoms such as cough and shortness of breath may occur.
5.Kidney: The main water fluid of the kidney, the tongue is thin and small, the tongue is reddish, and the tongue coating is thin and yellow. If the kidney function is lost, it is easy to have symptoms such as soreness in the waist and knees, tinnitus and so on.
By observing the tongue, we can preliminarily judge the loss of the five organs. However, the diagnosis cannot be confirmed by the judgment of the tongue image alone, and a comprehensive analysis of various factors such as clinical symptoms and pulse signs is required. In traditional Chinese medicine**, a variety of methods such as traditional Chinese medicine, dietary therapy, acupuncture, and massage are usually used to regulate the loss of the five internal organs. Here are some representative ancient remedies that can be used to regulate the loss of the five internal organs:
1.Siwu Soup: It is suitable for women with menstrual irregularities, anemia and other symptoms, and the main ingredients include angelica, Chuanxiong, white peony, rehmannia and so on.
2.Buzhong Yiqi Soup: It is suitable for symptoms such as weakness of the spleen and stomach and loss of appetite, and the main ingredients include astragalus, ginseng, atractylodes, boiled licorice, etc.
3.Bupleurum Shu Gansan: It is suitable for symptoms such as liver stagnation and qi stagnation, mood swings, etc., and the main ingredients include Bupleurum chinensis, white peony, incense, boiled licorice, etc.
4.Shengmaisan: It is suitable for symptoms such as weak lung qi and cough, and the main ingredients include ginseng, wheat winter, schisandra, etc.
5.Liuwei Rehmannia Pills: It is suitable for symptoms such as kidney yin loss, waist and knee soreness, and the main ingredients include Rehmannia rehmannia, Cornus officinalis, Yam, Ze Yuan, Peony skin, Poria cocos, etc.
Finally, I would like to emphasize that if you are experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, it is advisable to seek medical attention and seek help from a medical professional. Under the guidance of the doctor, the loss of the five internal organs can be identified through the tongue image and the corresponding conditioning measures can be taken to truly achieve the effect of restoring health. Wishing you good health!
