According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the cause of illness is nothing more than six evils and seven injuries.
These seven emotions are: joy, anger, worry, thinking, sadness, fear and surprise.
However, happiness hurts the liver, anger hurts the spleen, sadness hurts the lungs, and fear hurts the kidney. It has become the main theory of emotional diseases in traditional Chinese medicine.
Overjoyed and sad
The so-called happiness and sorrow is actually called "excessive happiness and sorrow", which causes excessive heart fire or is disturbed by phlegm heat. At this time, people will laugh nonstop, look trance, and then incoherent, abnormal behavior.
Just like a lighted candle flickering, everything in the room will look wobbly and restless. Similarly, when a person's heart is too happy, his heart will shake and be moved. At this time, the periphery of the heart, that is, our lungs, will also swing with the lung qi, which is not peaceful. Heart hides, lung hides. Be careful that the fire is swaying and the lungs are restless. We will lose our essence and hide it. At this time, the external performance will be laughing, trance, and even incoherent.
Anger hurts the liver.
Anger hurts the liver, that is, when people's anger leads to the rage of liver and gallbladder, it is manifested as red eyes, vomiting blood, upset, angry and even fainting.
Chinese medicine believes that the liver and gallbladder belong to wood. What shape is wood? It is straight. The trend of wood is necessarily stretching. Therefore, if the qi of the liver and gallbladder is slightly depressed, it will be difficult for the liver and gallbladder to follow its straightness, so it will be aroused into anger, anger and qi will be contrary, and then the face will be red.
Thinking hurts the spleen
When it comes to thinking hurts the spleen, it is because of excessive thinking that it hurts the spleen, forming a state of burnout, lack of food, forgetfulness, lethargy, emaciation and heavy pulse.
In fact, trying to hurt the spleen should be called "trying to hurt the spleen." Thinking about it is sad, and it will involve the spleen. What is thinking? Thinking is thinking back and forth. What is the support of thinking? If you think too much, you will hurt your mind first.
This is what is said in Soul Pivot: "If you are worried, you will be hurt." Then, the heart belongs to fire, the spleen belongs to soil, and the heart fire gives birth to spleen soil. The heart is the mother organ and the spleen is the child organ. In this way, both the mother's illness and the child will cause abnormal temper. External manifestations are fatigue, lack of food, forgetfulness, palpitation, lethargy, emaciation and heavy pulse.
Sad lungs
Sad lungs are caused by excessive sadness, which leads to loss of qi and blood and injuries to multiple organs of the heart and lungs. Chinese medicine believes that the lung controls the ascending and descending of qi. Yang, Yang also. Those who descend are also yin. Sadness is joy, and joy is yang. Sad, yin also.
So sadness and depression are "harmonious but different". In a very sad state, if the lung qi fails to rise and the qi drops too much, people will want to cry, feel bad, feel sad easily, look pale, have insufficient qi, and have a tight or knotted pulse.
Fear of kidney injury
Finally, I am afraid of hurting my kidneys. Fear of hurting the kidney refers to timidity, fear, anxiety and uneasiness caused by excessive panic. I often like to be alone with my family, for fear that someone will catch up with me.
The heart and kidney are the two main axes of human internal organs. The intersection of body and mind and the combination of yin and yang are important foundations for human balance and peace. Excessive panic leads to kidney qi falling instead of rising. If kidney qi fails to reach the heart, people will be uneasy, so there will be a state of timidity, fear, anxiety and anxiety.
Traditional Chinese medicine is profound, and the system theory summarized through thousands of years of observation combines the essence of heaven, earth, man and small universe to protect and protect the Chinese nation, which should be inherited and carried forward.
