There are many ways to classify physique. At present, there are nine kinds of constitutions generally recognized by the public, including "peaceful constitution, phlegm-dampness constitution, damp-heat constitution, yin deficiency constitution, yang deficiency constitution, qi deficiency constitution, intrinsic constitution, qi stagnation constitution and blood stasis constitution". The classification of physique is fine and can be more targeted, but it also puzzles many people. To this end, Dr. Dong specially explained the different manifestations of these nine constitutions in simple terms:
1. Peaceful physique means that the physical condition tends to be "peaceful" and "just", which is a healthy physique. Except for the peace constitution, the other eight constitutions are called "biased constitutions".
2, qi deficiency constitution, mainly manifested as lack of strength, easy to fatigue.
3, yang deficiency constitution, that is, yang deficiency, most people with this constitution have the performance of being afraid of cold, and often wear more than others in daily life.
4. The constitution of yin deficiency is asthenic heat, so there may be "heat image", such as dry mouth, five upset, hands and feet fever, chest fever and so on. This is because the human body with yin deficiency constitution is relatively short of water, and water has the function of nourishing yin and cooling down, so water shortage is easy to get angry and there is a "hot image".
5, damp heat constitution, Guangdong people often say "excessive internal heat" and "damp heat" is this kind of damp heat constitution, which is different from yin deficiency, which means deficiency heat, and damp heat constitution means excess heat, so people in damp heat constitution should know how to "purge fire".
6. Phlegm-dampness constitution, people with phlegm-dampness constitution can't excrete their metabolic wastes in time, and the humidity is heavy. The "sleepy dampness" in Cantonese refers to this phlegm-dampness constitution. In this regard, Dr. Dong said, "People who look' chubby' and' oily' from the outside are mostly phlegm-damp."
7, qi stagnation constitution, qi stagnation and blood stasis can not be stopped, Chinese medicine says that qi stagnation is "liver qi is not sparse", and the liver governs emotions, and qi stagnation constitution is closely related to mood, mood, stress and personality. Therefore, people with qi stagnation need to do a good job in emotional management, know how to "soothe the liver and relieve depression", release pressure and regulate body and mind.
8, blood stasis constitution, as the saying goes, "blood stasis blocks, it hurts", so most people with blood stasis constitution have pain, spots on their faces, pain on their bodies, women may have menstrual changes, and elderly friends are prone to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
9. Special physique is a special endowment. Generally speaking, there are two concepts of special physique: one is congenital deficiency, such as congenital dysplasia; The other is allergic constitution. Such people are particularly susceptible to allergies, such as allergic rhinitis, allergic colitis, allergic asthma, urticaria and other relatively allergic diseases, which are called idiosyncrasies.
