Chapter 25 end

Seven hundred years later. Beijing. Library of the University of Chinese Medicine. The reading room is clean and the windows are bright and clean. There are books left by Li Dongyuan on my desk. I watched the publishing process recorded in the preface of each book. I sighed in my heart: "Mr. Luo Tianyi, you finally did it!" Yes, Luo Tianyi finally did it, he fulfilled his promise to the teacher with his actions! Now from a certain point of view, he was almost born for Li Dongyuan. After Li Dongyuan's death, Luo Tianyi served Li Dongyuan's wife as his own mother until the old man died at the age of eighty.

He himself eventually became a generation of famous Chinese medicine experts, and served as an imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital of the Yuan Dynasty. During his tenure as an imperial physician, he sorted out the manuscripts left by Li Dongyuan one by one, and then published them, and finally passed them down. He wrote clearly in each book, which was written by my teacher Mr. Li Dongyuan, and I was just doing the finishing work. After finishing all the works of the teacher, he wrote his own book "Health Treasure Book". When publishing the book "Health Treasure Book", he put the letter he wrote to the teacher when he went to the teacher's house to learn from the teacher, and put it at the front of the catalog.

This letter looks very abrupt when placed in front of the table of contents. There was no such rule in the printing of books by the ancients. No one knew what his move was for. However, I know that he is using this method to miss his teacher Li Dongyuan. I can even imagine that Luo Tianyi did this with tears in his eyes. Every word and every stroke in the letter was full of tears. The lights in the library came on one after another. The reading room was brightly lit. It turned out that it was time for evening self-study, and the students filed in. I suddenly had an urge in my heart to show them this letter...

What I want to talk to you today is: Don’t starve yourself! Many people will be confused: Hungry yourself?What era is it now?It's not Li Dongyuan's famine era when there was a last meal but no next meal. Now it's not bad if you don't eat enough!Can you still starve yourself? That's right, everyone, don't worry. In this era, people will not only starve themselves, but also make themselves sick from starvation. Let me talk about it in detail. The life of many white-collar workers has the following characteristics: try to go to bed as late as possible at night, and feel sorry for yourself if you go to bed early. A little bit, when the alarm clock rang countless times, I got up angrily, smashed the alarm clock first, and then remembered that the time I saw a second before the smashing was eight o'clock-it was late for work!

So I put on my clothes, ran out of the room, went straight to Sihui Station to change to Line 1 from Beiyuan Station on the Batong Line of the light rail, then changed to Line 2 at Jianguomen Station, went up to Dongzhimen Station and ran to the unit, but it was still too late. I just ran into the manager at the door, hey!Why are you late again, how many times have you said how can you not remember.I'll talk about you later.Come on, our goods just arrived, well, it's up to you, you can help move it. This batch of goods is so heavy that I almost put this one on the ground. After returning to the office, I looked at this one again, and my mind was full of thoughts: When will we have dinner at noon!

Then at noon, I went to the cafeteria to eat wildly, and ate an astonishing amount of food. This is a fragment that often happens. If you analyze the process carefully, you will find that this is the same state as the soldiers and civilians of the Dajin Kingdom in the besieged city. They are hungry, working under hungry conditions, and moving stones to repair the city wall.Then, after clearing the siege, binge eating. Many white-collar workers do not eat breakfast for a long time, and some just take a little snack to deal with it, and then do various tasks in the morning. Western medicine believes that the biggest problem of not eating in the morning is that people are prone to gallstones.

But Chinese medicine believes that there will be other problems. Li Dongyuan believes that once a person's spleen and stomach are injured, the vitality of the body will also be injured, and many diseases will appear in this way. Especially when you are hungry, if you are tired, the harm is even greater. I often encounter many white-collar workers asking me: How can I treat my fatigue syndrome?My symptoms are weakness, lack of energy, tiredness from work, colds, low immunity, stomach troubles, and so on. Take a look at the indications of Buzhong Yiqi Pills in the current textbook (this is Li Dongyuan’s prescription): "deficiency of spleen and stomach qi, lack of qi and lazy speech, weakness of limbs, sleepiness and less food, intolerance to fatigue, shortness of breath when moving", etc.

Needless to say, you've figured it out, there's not much difference between the two. Yes, that’s right, if a person does not eat for a long time in the morning, and then works in the morning, the damage to the body at this time will be very great, and it will eventually lead to a decrease in the overall health of your body. During the period of the Republic of China, there was a famous doctor named Zhang Xichun. He treated many such cases. Among them, a coachman ran for seven or eight miles on an empty stomach in a state of hunger. After eating, my limbs were sore and weak, and I felt short of breath when I moved a little. In the end, Zhang Xichun cured it with the method of nourishing the middle and replenishing qi.

Some people think that this disease has nothing to do with not eating breakfast, but in Chinese medicine, they are very related. The ones mentioned above end up suffering from very serious diseases. The less serious one is the so-called fatigue syndrome. Many white-collar workers suffer from the so-called fatigue syndrome, because when they go to Western medicine, the doctor will think that he is not sick and needs to rest, but after resting, he finds that it is useless. This kind of situation is especially common in foreign countries. There are also a large number of white-collar workers who have such reflections. Then the doctors feel that they are under a lot of pressure-they can't solve other people's problems, so they are making various efforts, and some even claim to have found Some kind of virus or something that caused fatigue syndrome.

I think they said the opposite, because the decline in the health level of patients leads to the easy invasion of bacteria and viruses. Of course, there are other reasons for "fatigue syndrome" in Chinese medicine, such as emotional reasons, but spleen and stomach injury is definitely a very important factor. So everyone, don't make things difficult for yourself, and you must have a good breakfast. There are also some people who starve themselves, that is, those girls who want to lose weight. These people torture their bodies to the same extent as the soldiers and civilians of the Dajin Kingdom under the siege. They refuse to eat normally for a long time. , apples are the staple food, and at the same time, fearing that my perseverance is not enough, I also bought some western medicine to reduce appetite on the street.

Because they don't know the serious consequences of spleen and stomach injuries, they go forward bravely, ignorant and fearless. But the consequences are dire. In traditional Chinese medicine, we believe that once a woman's spleen and stomach are injured, the source of qi and blood will be severely hindered, and the various systems of a woman's body, especially the reproductive system, are particularly dependent on qi and blood. Insufficient qi and blood will cause menstruation, There are problems in the pregnancy, delivery and other links. This is not my scaremongering, there are many such cases now, due to weight loss, severe malnutrition is caused, some begin to anorexia, and then start menopause in their twenties, and the next development is ovarian atrophy, which eventually leads to infertility child. The husband dislikes her, her husband's family turns against her, and she suffers. There are many such tragedies. Once I followed the organization to a free clinic in Zhangjiakou City, not far from Beijing. The patients stood in a long line. It was the turn of an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl. I started to check the pulse. When she stretched out her arm, it was very thin. After taking the pulse, I knew in my heart that this was a patient with serious problems, so I asked her father next to her, "Why is her Qi and blood so weak!" His father said in a low voice, "I lost weight." The girl is in college, because she lost weight, she started to anorexia, and she has not had menstruation for two years. His father was very anxious, but the girl herself was still smiling. I thought to myself, I haven't said anything about the more serious consequences, but I'm afraid she won't be able to sleep. She has already taken a lot of medicines for invigorating blood circulation and stimulating menstruation. I told her and her father not to take medicines for promoting menstruation anymore, because there is no way to understand menstruation. For example, there is no water in the river. Are you still digging ditches there? ? Hurry up to regulate the spleen and stomach, nourish qi and blood, the function of the spleen and stomach is restored, and the qi and blood are sufficient to regulate the menstruation. After the free clinic, I returned to Beijing. I don't know what happened to this girl. But I know that even if I can treat her, I cannot treat so many similar patients in the world. Because diet pill manufacturers and the modeling industry are still vigorously promoting the beauty of skinny skin and the charm of thinness. The world is crazy, and the girls are still going forward. I hope that all brothers will take a close look at their girlfriends after watching it, and use violent means to solve it when necessary-smashing the diet pills. Let me explain to you the prescription of Buzhong Yiqi pills sold in pharmacies. The composition of Buzhong Yiqi Decoction (now changed to pills) is astragalus, ginseng, angelica, Atractylodes macrocephala, tangerine peel, cohosh, Bupleurum, and roasted licorice. The main symptoms of such eight-flavored medicines are due to overwork. 1. Deficiency of spleen and lung qi and subsidence of middle qi caused by improper diet. What is subsidence of middle qi?This is a term in traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that there is "middle qi" in the human chest, which supports the normal functions of the human body. If your nutrition is insufficient, resulting in qi deficiency, then this middle qi will go down. Such people often feel I feel that I have no strength, I can’t speak up, I don’t like to talk, my face is pale, and I feel dizzy. Originally, the food is in the stomach and intestines. With the support of Zhongqi, I can slowly go through the process of digestion, but now I can’t hold it anymore. , soon diarrhea out, the result is diarrhea, some people have prolapse of the anus, and some people have a physical examination, and it is found that the gastroptosis that Western medicine says, some lesbians have uterine prolapse, etc. For this, Chinese medicine believes that it is the spleen and lung Qi deficiency, because in the five elements, the spleen belongs to earth, the lungs belong to metal, and earth produces metal, so the root of this disease lies in the spleen and stomach, because the function of the spleen and stomach is reduced, and the absorption is not good, resulting in insufficient lung qi. The prescription of Buzhong Yiqi Decoction was conceived by Li Dongyuan with a lot of thought. Needless to say, the ginseng in the prescription is a medicine for strengthening vitality, and then there is Astragalus, which is a delicious medicine. Astragalus can play the role of solid surface, what is solid surface?It is to strengthen the body's peripheral defense system. Some friends are always sweating and catch a cold when the wind blows. You can use this raw astragalus to strengthen the surface, and add Atractylodes macrocephala and Fangfeng. It is called Yupingfengsan, which is sold in pharmacies.If the astragalus is roasted with honey, it will have the effect of nourishing the middle and replenishing qi. Therefore, astragalus is the most important medicine in this prescription, and the dosage is also the largest. At that time, Li Dongyuan only used astragalus for one cent, and the rest of the medicine Only a few minutes are used, and now doctors use dozens of grams of astragalus, even hundreds of grams, and the effect is not bad.But when you buy medicine, you should know that raw Astragalus membranaceus and roasted Astragalus membranaceus are separate. If you only write a simple Astragalus membranaceus, the rules of medicine stores in different parts of the country are different. .According to my experience, the amount of raw astragalus can be used in large amounts, but the amount of honey-roasted astragalus must strictly abide by the prescription regulations, because honey-roasted is easy to generate heat. The roasted licorice in the prescription also nourishes the qi of the spleen and stomach. Li Dongyuan believes that astragalus, ginseng, and roasted licorice are the holy medicine for eliminating restlessness, which is caused by the deficiency of Qi in the middle.There is also Baizhu in the prescription, which is used to dry dampness and replenish the qi of the spleen meridian, because Li Dongyuan believes that the key to this problem lies in the spleen. He said that "when the spleen is deficient, the lung qi will be exhausted first", so the prescription also takes special care of it. Spleen meridian. So since it is to invigorate qi, why is tangerine peel added to the prescription?It turns out that if this qi invigorating medicine is administered suddenly, so much qi will be injected into the human body at the same time, the human body will not be able to bear it. The biggest feeling is shortness of breath, chest tightness, and a little congestion. At this time, add a little qi The dried tangerine peel does not have this problem. While invigorating qi, blood should also be taken care of, why?Because Chinese medicine believes that yin and yang are mutually regenerated, and qi and blood are also regenerated. When qi is deficient, blood must also be deficient. If you replenish so much qi at once, you must consider converting them into blood, so angelica is added. , so that the conversion of qi and blood can be normal. However, it is not enough so far, because although the qi has been supplemented, the main problem now is the subsidence of the central qi. How to solve this subsidence? Therefore, Cimicifuga and Bupleurum are used in the prescription, and the amount is very small. Cimicifuga is the energy of promoting Yangming, and Bupleurum is the energy of promoting Shaoyang. Everyone, this is quite magical, don’t look at it As far as these two herbs are concerned, we say that their medicinal properties are upward. After adding them, the entire medicinal effect really goes upward. Prolapse of the anus, uterine prolapse, etc. are caused by qi deficiency. go back. Some netizens have already experienced this point. Some netizens have suffered from hemorrhoids and sent me an email, telling me how long it has been prolapsed. I just told me what hemorrhoid medicine to buy, and at the same time combined with Buzhong Yiqi Pills, the results began to be recycled, and I replied to the email. Feedback is great.Sometimes, if you really experience traditional Chinese medicine once, you will feel more strongly about it. If you have injured your spleen and lung qi due to the reasons I mentioned and have corresponding symptoms, then you can consider taking some Buzhong Yiqi pills to regulate it. Well, that's all for Li Dongyuan, I hope you can gain something.
