During a family reception when I was a child, I deeply experienced a simple and beautiful taste:Rice porridge mixed with sugar。Even though it may seem mundane, I love the taste.
When I opened the cupboard, I was surprised to find that there were ants in the sugar jar!
This led me to think about why there are so many ants and how to get rid of them completely.
After being exposed to TCM, I discovered TCM. The principle of curing diseases is similar to cleaning up ants! Ants can be thought of as a disease of patients, and white sugar is the root cause of disease and attraction of ants.
Rather than just off. It is better to eliminate the underlying factors that cause the disease than to pay attention to the appearance of a specific disease. Without sugar, the worries will dissipate.
Recently, I received a patient who was lost. In patients with pronounced sleep symptoms, their loss. The degree of sleep varies from light to severe, and even when you fall asleep, you often have nightmares.
Sleep problems lead to mental exhaustion, general fatigue, and decreased work efficiency. After many attempts to clear the heart, soothe the liver depression, and replenish. Methods such as kidney yin and heart and blood nourishment have little effect.
The patient's tongue coating is weak and the pulse is thin. After dialectic, prescribe:White peony, cocoon, coptis, fabanxia, yuanzhi, cinnamon and riceof prescriptions.
After a month of taking it, the patient's sleep quality has improved significantly, and he no longer wakes up in the middle of the night, and the time to fall asleep has been greatly reduced. After fine-tuning the pair, the patient continued to take it for a month, and eventually, his sleep state returned to normal completely, and other related symptoms gradually disappeared.
For example, according to the characteristics of heart and spleen deficiency, the patient did not have symptoms such as palpitations, forgetfulness, abdominal distension, loose stools, yellowish complexion, and loss of appetite.
The patient also did not show increased pulse, red tongue, dry mouth and little fluid, soreness in the waist and knees, irritability and tinnitus.
From the point of view of phlegm and fire disturbing the heartThe patient also did not have symptoms such as bright red tongue, red complexion, red eyes, irritability, short urine, frequent nightmares, and restlessness in the chest.
From the point of view of the lack of courageThe patient did not show symptoms such as timidity, restlessness, worry, palpitations, etc.
From the point of view of food accumulation in the stomach and disharmony in the spleen and stomachThe patient also showed no signs of abdominal distension, frequent belching, thick and sticky tongue, and a smooth and rapid pulse.
In summary, although there are no definitive clues, the patient's symptoms of "thin tongue coating and small pulse" cannot be ignored. These symptoms suggest disharmony in the spleen and stomach and weakness of qi and blood, that is, insufficient blood in the heart.
Insufficient spleen and stomach leads to insufficient heart blood**, which in turn leads to excessive heart fire and hyperactivity of the heart yang, which is manifested as symptoms such as early awakening, dreaming and difficulty sleeping.
The idea is to eliminate the cause of the disease from the source through the overall conditioning of the patient's constitution. Although TCM is not good at fine anatomy, it is good at treating diseases by adjusting the overall constitution.
In recent years, TCM has lost more and more trust, so I have been using my free time to share my experience in the hope of giving patients more choice.
Everyone's physical condition is different, and the method is also different from person to person, and you can find the most suitable for yourself by considering the strengths of different medical systems.
May every patient find more choices and usher in more hope.
