For those with irregular heartbeats, symptoms such as premature beats, rapid heartbeats, or confusion can be very painful. So, what exactly causes an irregular heartbeat?
Modern medicine has many explanations for this, but in the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, there is one point that cannot be ignored, that is, the theory of "insufficient spleen and soil". We need to understand that the healthy functioning of the heart is inseparable from the supply of blood and heart qi. These supplies are provided by our spleen, which is the source of qi and blood.
Once the spleen is deficient, there may be problems in the body's qi and blood operation, which will further affect the heart function. Conversely, the fire of the heart can also give birth to the spleen, and the two are interrelated.
In other words, the main ** of arrhythmia is actually the deficiency of the heart and spleen. To put it simply, the root cause of palpitations lies in the spleen"Hungry and weak"。So, what should we do to manage this situation?The answer is"Nourish the heart and spleen"。However, between tonifying the spleen and nourishing the heart, we should focus on starting with strengthening the spleen.
As for how it works?There is a well-known Chinese herbal prescription for tonifying the spleen and nourishing the heart, the composition of which is as follows:
Burnt astragalus, codonopsis, angelica, fried atractylodes, boiled licorice, poria cocos, sour jujube kernel, yuanzhi, woody, jujube, salvia, incense.
This recipe is good in **?
The first thing we need to pay attention to is to strengthen the spleen, so we chose five kinds of Chinese herbal medicines, including boiled astragalus, codonopsis, fried atractylodes, boiled licorice and jujube.
The effect of burning astragalus is to strengthen the spleen and invigorate qi, and compared with ordinary astragalus, it has a better tonic effect on Zhongjiao. Although ordinary astragalus is also beneficial to the spleen and stomach, it is more effective in protecting the health qi. The taste of Codonopsis is sweet, and it enters the second meridian of the spleen and lungs, which is also a good thing to nourish the qi and strengthen the spleen and lungs.
Because of its spleen-strengthening and transport-boosting properties, it is particularly good at drying dampness. When used in combination with boiled licorice and jujube, it is more inclined to nourish the spleen and blood, so on the whole, these five medicinal materials have played a very good role in tonifying the spleen and benefiting the spleen and blood, and can be said to be a classic combination.
The next question is, will this supplement lead to physical discomfort or even accumulation?To prevent this from happening, we used woody and incense to balance the tonic effect.
The taste of wood fragrance is spicy, bitter, warm, strong penetration, can enter the spleen, stomach, large intestine, three coke, gallbladder meridian, in addition to the qi to relieve pain, strengthen the spleen and eliminate food, but also introduce wood aroma.
The taste of incense is pungent, slightly bitter, slightly sweet, flat in nature, widely distributed in the liver, spleen, and Sanjiao meridians, and has a strong effect of relieving depression and regulating menstrual pain.
The medicinal properties of both herbs involve the spleen meridian and help to channel qi in the stomach. To prevent the build-up caused by excessive food intake, these two drugs are used here to relax the stomach and intestines at the right time.
Next, let's discuss how to achieve the effect of nourishing the mind through this prescription.
Angelica sinensis has a sweet, slightly pungent taste, is mild to the human body, can penetrate deep into the liver, heart and spleen, and mainly plays a role in replenishing blood and activating blood, regulating menstrual pain and lubricating the intestines. In this formula, we pay more attention to its effect on replenishing the heart, liver and blood. Poria cocos can not only help us strengthen the spleen and stomach, dispel dampness, but also have the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind.
Next, let's talk about sour jujube kernels, its taste is sweet and sour, and it can penetrate deep into the liver, gallbladder, and heart meridians, which can not only nourish yin and lungs, but also nourish the heart. The taste of Yuanzhi is a bit bitter, pungent, warm, and can enter the heart, kidneys, and lung meridians, which is of great help to stabilize the mind and improve the level of intelligence.
The above four herbs are used together to nourish the heart, calm the mind, and replenish the good heart. They cooperate with astragalus, codonopsis, atractylodes, licorice, and jujube to provide nourishment for the heart and spleen, and their curative effect is worth looking forward to.
Finally, let's take a look at salvia. What is salvia for?
Its main function is to replenish blood and invigorate blood, cool serum heat. This herb is very important in this recipe.
If the four herbs of angelica, poria, fried sour jujube kernels, and yuanzhi are too greasy and cause fire, the blood-cooling effect of salvia will appear immediately, just like a fire captain. Therefore, the role of salvia, a flavor medicine, is very crucial.
