What pulse condition is healthy?

Chapter 18: Simple explanation

Don't delve into knowledge, just explore practicality. Shallow reading Huangdi Neijing is beneficial to daily use.

Today's topic:

1. Which organ does a healthy interpersonal relationship come from? How to tell whether it is healthy or not?

2. How do the flat pulse and the sick pulse of the four seasons behave?

3. What are the different manifestations of the pulse condition of "disease outside" and "disease inside"?

Talking about idle narration: differentiation of flat pulse, diseased pulse and stomach qi.

1. What is the pulse condition of a healthy person?

If the rhythm and frequency of healthy pulse are determined by breathing, it means that the pulse beats twice when exhaling, twice when inhaling and once during the pause of exhaling and inhaling, so that one breath is five times. In addition, people occasionally have a long sigh when breathing, and their pulse will beat again. In this way, in a person's breathing time, the pulse moves five to six times on average, which belongs to the normal range and is called the "average person" pulse train. The so-called ordinary people refer to normal people who are healthy and disease-free.

The rule of pulse diagnosis is usually to take the breath of normal people who are not sick as the standard to measure the pulse of patients. The doctor is not sick, so he can adjust his breathing to check the patient's pulse.

If you see a pulse beating once and a pulse beating once, the pulse is too late, which is a reflection of the lack of vital qi;

If you see three beats in one pulse, three beats in one pulse, too many pulse conditions, irritability and anxiety, and fever in the ulnar skin, this is the performance of "febrile disease";

If the pulse is rapid, but there is also a sharp image, and the skin is not hot, it is a disease of wind evil;

If the pulse is restless and urgent, it is also stagnant, which is the performance of "arthralgia".

If you see a pulse beating more than four times, the number of pulses is a reflection of excessive yang evil and exhaustion of yin essence, so it is called "dead pulse";

If the pulse condition is interrupted and does not come again, it is a reflection of the failure of vital qi, so it is also called "dead pulse"; The pulse condition is fast and slow, chaotic and incoherent, which is a reflection of the imbalance of Yin and Yang Yang Qi and the decline of Qi and blood in the body, also known as "dead pulse"

The net qi of healthy people comes from the stomach, which is the sea of water and grain, and the stomach qi is the pulse qi of healthy people. If there is no stomach qi in the pulse, it is called "reverse". Inverse, may lead to death.

Second, whether the stomach qi rises or falls is reflected in the four seasons and five zang-organs veins, as follows:

The pulse in spring is gentle and slightly chordal, which is the normal expression of stomach qi, and is called "flat pulse"; If the chord is obvious, but the image of tenderness is insufficient, it is a manifestation of insufficient stomach qi. If the leaves are "sick veins", there will be liver disease; If the pulse condition is pure string, but there is no gentle image at all, this is the performance of stomach qi failure, that is, "dead pulse." If there is a gentle night breath in the pulse, there is also a floating image. Although you are not sick at that time in spring, you will get sick in autumn, because the floating pulse corresponds to autumn, and the five elements belong to gold; If the phenomenon of drifting is too prominent, it is because autumn is full of gold and spring belongs to wood, so it won't stay until autumn, but spring will soon get sick. In spring, the yin and yang of heaven and earth correspond to the liver in the human body. In this season, the essence of the five internal organs is dispersed to the liver, so the function of the liver is more active, which helps to nourish the fascia.

In summer, the pulse is mild and slightly red, which is a normal manifestation of stomach qi and is called "flat pulse"; If flooding is obvious, but not enough, it is a manifestation of insufficient stomach qi, which is called "sick pulse" and there will be heart disease; If the pulse is only overflow, but there is no sign of tenderness, it is a manifestation of stomach gas failure, that is, "dead pulse." If there is mild stomach gas in the pulse, there are also serious symptoms. Although you don't get sick in summer, you will get sick in winter, because the deep pulse corresponds to winter and the five elements belong to water. If the sunken elephant is too prominent, it is because the cold water is too strong, summer belongs to people, and water can put out the fire, so if you don't stay in winter, you will get sick immediately in summer. In summer, the yin and yang of heaven and earth are connected with the heart in the human body. In this season, the essence of the five internal organs enters the heart. Therefore, the heart is more active and helps to nourish blood vessels.

The pulse condition in long summer is characterized by weakness, which is a normal manifestation of stomach qi and is called "flat pulse". If the weakness is obvious and not mild enough, it is a manifestation of insufficient stomach qi, which is called "sick pulse" and there will be spleen disease; If there is only weakness and no sign of tenderness, it is the performance of stomach qi failure, which is also the "dead pulse." If the pulse shows signs of weakness and tenderness, but at the same time there are signs of heaviness, then although there is no disease in the long summer, it will happen in winter. This is because the deep pulse corresponds to winter, the five elements belong to water, but the long pulse belongs to soil. In the relationship between the five elements, soil can overcome water, and now there is a pulse that water deceives soil, indicating that the spleen and soil in the patient are insufficient and Shui Han's qi is excessive; If the addiction phenomenon is too prominent, it is due to spleen deficiency and Shui Han excess, so we don't stay in winter, but the disease will happen immediately in Chang Liang. In the long summer, the yin-yang qi of heaven and earth is connected with the human spleen. In this season, the essence of the five internal organs is cultivated in the spleen, so the function of the spleen is more active and helps to nourish muscles.

The pulse in autumn is gentle and slightly floating, which is a normal manifestation of stomach qi and is called "flat pulse"; If the floating elephant is obvious but not gentle enough, it is a manifestation of insufficient stomach qi, which is called "sick pulse" and there will be lung diseases; If you simply see the floating pulse, but there is no gentle image, this is the performance of stomach gas failure, that is, "dead pulse." If the pulse is floating and the string is seen at the same time, although you are not sick at that time in autumn, you will get sick in spring, because the string pulse corresponds to spring; Five elements belong to wood and autumn belongs to gold. In the relationship between the five elements, gold can resist wood, and now there is a pulse of wood deceiving gold, indicating that the patient has insufficient lung qi and abundant wood qi; If the string elephant is too prominent, it is because the wood is too strong, so it is not left until spring, and it will get sick in autumn. In autumn, the qi of yin and yang of heaven and earth is connected with the lungs of human body. In this season, the essence of the five internal organs is handed over to the lung, so the function of the lung is more active, which is helpful to the operation of yin and yang in the body.

Pulse in winter, with heavy buffering microstrip, is a normal manifestation of stomach qi, which is called "flat pulse"; If the severe symptoms are obvious and not gentle enough, it is a manifestation of insufficient stomach qi, which is called "sick pulse" and there will be kidney diseases; If there is only a severe image without a gentle image, this is the performance of stomach qi failure, that is, "dead pulse." If there is occasional flood in the sinking image, it will happen in summer, although it is not sick in winter. This is because the flood pulse corresponds to summer and belongs to people in the five elements, while winter is water. In the relationship between the five elements, water can overcome fire, and now there is a pulse of fire deceiving water, indicating that the kidney in the human body is insufficient and popular; If the flood pulse is too prominent, it is because the kidney qi is insufficient and the popularity is extremely high, so I don't stay in summer and get sick immediately in winter. In winter, heaven and earth communicate with the human kidney; In this season, the essence of the five internal organs is hidden in the kidney, so the function of the kidney is more active, which helps to nourish the bone marrow.

Third, "virtual interior" and "inch mouth"

The large collateral of the stomach meridian is called "deficiency inside". This vein runs from the abdominal cavity through the diaphragm, up to the lungs, and appears below the left chest. When you touch it with your hand, you can feel its pulse, which is the expression of "Zongqi" in the pulse.

If there are too many pulse conditions in deficiency syndrome, it will be as urgent as the breath exhaled by a person with phlegm and asthma, and sometimes it will stop, which is a reflection of illness in the chest; If the pulse is not soft or hard, it is slow and intermittent, which is a reflection of qi stagnation, phlegm coagulation, blood stasis and other depressed diseases; If the pulse is cut off and never comes back, this is the performance of death.

If the virtual body beats violently, the clothes will vibrate accordingly, which is a reflection that the ancestral spirit cannot be hidden and leaked, and it is also a manifestation of critical illness. At this time, it is necessary to diagnose the disease from the change of "inch mouth" pulse, such as too much and too little. If the pulse of Cunkou pulse is under the finger and part of it is "short", it is a reflection of the deficiency of yang in the upper part of the human body, and there will be symptoms of headache; What grows under the fingers is a reflection of excessive pathogens in the lower part of the human body, which will cause pain in the feet and legs. The rapid and powerful pulse at the mouth and lips is a reflection of excessive yang and pathogenic factors in the upper part of the human body, and there will be symptoms of shoulder and back pain. Cunkou pulse is heavy, which is a reflection of yin evil in human body; Cunkou pulse is floating and powerful, which is a reflection of the yang part on the body surface. The deep and weak pulse at the mouth of the inch is a reflection of the deficiency of yang and the invasion of cold pathogens into the human body, which may lead to aversion to cold, fever, nausea, abdominal pain and other diseases. The pulse at the mouth of the inch is deep and hard, crossing between the fingers, which is a reflection of the accumulation of pathogenic qi in the stomach meridian, indicating that there is accumulation under the hypochondrium or pain in the abdomen.

Fourthly, the pulse condition predicts the date of death.

A heavy pulse is a reflection of heat stagnation in the body, and symptoms of fever or fear of cold may appear.

The pulse condition is rich and smooth, which is a reflection of the disease and evil on the body surface, so it is said that "the disease is outside";

The pulse condition is small and firm, which reflects the accumulation of pathogenic factors in the body, so it is said that "the disease enters it".

Weak and astringent pulse is a reflection of deficiency of qi and blood and poor operation, indicating a long illness; Sluggish pulse is a reflection of pathogenic factors in the liver meridian, and there will be symptoms such as temple qi, wave accumulation and less abdominal pain.

Pulse slip is a reflection of the invasion of yang evil, mostly diseases caused by wind evil; Stagnant pulse is a reflection of yin blocking meridians, and there will be "arthralgia" syndrome.

Slow and slippery pulse is a reflection of heat in the spleen, so it is said to be a disease with heat in the middle energizer; Strong and tight pulse is a reflection of excessive cold evil in the body, which often leads to abdominal distension.

The pulse condition conforms to the yin-yang nature of the disease and is easy to recover; If the pulse condition is contrary to the yin and yang nature of the disease, it is difficult to recover. The pulse condition corresponds to the four seasons of yin and yang, so it can be said with certainty that the patient will not be in other danger;

However, the pulse condition, the inversion of Yin and Yang at four seasons, and diseases that spread and develop in the order of five elements, such as liver disease affecting spleen, spleen disease, kidney donation, etc., are mostly incurable diseases.

If the heart pulse, spleen pulse, lung pulse and kidney pulse appear "true viscera pulse" without stomach qi, the date of death can be inferred.
