In the busy modern life, we often encounter such confusion: we are clearly living a regular life and eating a balanced diet, but we are suddenly troubled by a bout of dizziness, as if a healthy sky suddenly broke into a cloud. This not only affects the quality of daily work and life, but also makes people panic. Especially a young man like Mr. Li, 28 years old, who has good physical fitness and no bad habits, but repeatedly suffers from dizziness, and the results of Western medical examinations are normal, why is this?
Here's a true story, let's explore Mr. Lee's experience and find out how, with the help of a TCM doctor, he was able to find the root cause of the dizziness symptoms that had been bothering him for a long time. This is not only a story about the search for health, but also a reminder that some health problems may be that we ignore certain details of our lives, causing the body to send signals.
In TCM, dizziness is not only a symptom, it is a sign of an imbalance within the body. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the human body is a whole, and various organs coordinate and influence each other. When there is a problem in the body, it is often not caused by a single cause, but the result of a combination of factors. Traditional Chinese medicine** is not only about relieving symptoms, but also about adjusting the overall balance of the human body and restoring inner harmony.
When the 28-year-old man came to ask for help, the TCM doctor first conducted a detailed consultation to understand his living habits, dietary structure, emotional state and work pressure. Subsequently, through the four diagnoses of looking, smelling, asking, and cutting, the reasons behind the symptoms are carefully explored. Observe the tongue coating by looking at the tongue, smell the body odor, inquire to understand the medical history and living habits, and feel the state of the internal organs through the pulse.
This process is not only a comprehensive examination of the patient's physical condition, but also an in-depth understanding of the patient's lifestyle. Based on the information collected, combined with their own rich experience and TCM theories, TCM doctors conduct a comprehensive analysis to determine the nature of the disease and the mechanism of its pathogenesis.
After careful diagnosis, the TCM doctor found that the young man's dizziness was not accidental, but caused by liver qi stagnation and spleen deficiency. Liver Qi stagnation is usually caused by depression and excessive stress, which is manifested by symptoms such as poor mood, irritability, and chest tightness. Spleen deficiency is the weakening of digestion and absorption function caused by irregular diet and overwork, which is manifested as fatigue, loss of appetite, abdominal distension, etc.
These two conditions are cause and effect of each other, liver qi stagnation affects the spleen's function of transport, and spleen deficiency cannot provide sufficient nutritional support to the liver, resulting in poor flow of qi and blood in the body, and then dizziness and other symptoms。The doctor of traditional Chinese medicine pointed out that the key to solving the problem is not to simply dizziness, but to reconcile the liver and spleen, dredge qi and blood, and restore the internal balance of the body.
