Sweet may be poisonous.
In China, we call the first person in a certain field the founder. Why is it called the originator? In Taoist medicine, there is a view that the most prominent organ in the mother's abdomen is the nose, from which lung qi is produced, and the meridians also start from the lungs and the Taiyin lungs, so the nose is also a very important image of our face.
Why is the top of the "alar" of the nose "self"? In ancient China, it was ourselves who first wrote the word "nose". When we talk about ourselves, we always point to our noses. The word below the word "nose" is just its pronunciation.
Modern mathematical theory proves that 0.6 18 is a very wonderful number, which is ubiquitous and has incredible special importance, so it is called "golden section". According to the measurement, the position of 0.6 18 above and below the head is just at the bridge of the nose, that is, the nose is just at the "golden section" of the head and face. Therefore, the nose is also very important to people's health, and it is in a good position with the symmetrical Tang Yin point (the "golden point" above and below the head).
As one of the five senses of human beings, the nose protrudes from the center of the face, also known as Tang Ming and Zhongyue. Specializing in breathing and smell is the only way for foreign evil to invade. It is an important tissue and organ in the organic whole of human body, and it always plays an indispensable role in the process of human life activities. Our nose can feel the smell, and the influence of smell on people is obvious. Smelling something very fragrant will arouse appetite, and when it stinks, you want to avoid it. Therefore, the role of five flavors is also very powerful.
The five senses of smell in traditional Chinese medicine refer to shame, burning, fragrance, fishy smell and rot. The smell from the liver is disgusting, the smell from the heart is bitter, the smell from the spleen is fragrant, the smell from the lungs is fishy, and the smell from the kidneys is rancid.
Regarding the relationship between five flavors and five colors and five internal organs, it has been recorded in Materia Medica that "all herbs with green color, sour taste, smelly gas and belonging to wood enter the liver of foot Jue Yin and the gallbladder meridian of foot Shao Yang; Those who are red in color, bitter in taste, burning with qi and having sexual fire all originate from the heart meridian, hand meridian, sun meridian and small intestine meridian of Shaoyin. Those who are yellow in color, sweet in taste, fragrant in gas and earthy in nature all enter the Taiyin and Yangming stomach meridians. White color, pungent taste, fishy smell and golden nature all originate from Taiyin lung and hand Yangming large intestine meridian; Those who are black in color, salty in taste, rotten in gas and belong to water all enter the bladder meridian of foot shaoyin kidney and foot taiyang. " "Notes on Materia Medica" also holds that "every medicine should be clear about its five colors and five flavors. ..... SAO into the liver, nasty into the heart, sweet into the spleen, fishy into the lungs, rotten into the kidney ".
Smell is one of the main functions of the nose, because there are nerves in the nasal cavity. After all kinds of smells are perceived by the nose, they have a remarkable and peculiar influence on people's physiological and pathological activities and psychological state.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that because the nose is most closely related to the heart and lungs, the smell first acts on the heart and lungs after entering the nose, and then affects the whole through the functions of the heart and lungs. Modern research has also proved that the influence of smell on human body is enormous. The theories of "smelling incense to prevent diseases" and "smelling incense to treat diseases" in traditional Chinese medicine have also been proved by modern experimental research.
Nasal therapy has a long history. It is speculated that as early as ancient times, when our ancestors burned plants and trees to keep warm or smoke food, they would inevitably inhale their smoke and smell intentionally or unintentionally. This may be the earliest "smelling medicine", but it is not clear whether the primitive people at that time realized that this smelling method could achieve the purpose of preventing and treating diseases.
From 65438 to 0973, a number of ancient medical books were unearthed in Mawangdui Han Tomb in Hunan Province. It is generally believed that most of them were written in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Among them, Fifty-two Prescriptions for Diseases is the earliest existing medical work. In this book, it is recorded that fresh fish, salt and other drugs are applied to the nose to treat nasal bone fracture caused by moth diseases.
At present, human beings have produced many smells through various chemical means, such as various perfumes and spices. The original intention of these smells is to create a good communication atmosphere and attract the attention of the opposite sex. However, as we all know, many artificial odors may be potentially dangerous and may produce toxins to the human body. The most typical is the smell of benzene and aldehyde during decoration. We can't feel it when we smell it. After a long time, we will feel dizzy and sick, and even get cancer.
Pay special attention to keeping your nose warm.
The nose is the opening of air to the respiratory tract, which has the functions of breathing, smelling and helping pronunciation. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the nose is the opening of the lung" is the gateway of air exchange inside and outside the human body, and the only way to inhale "clear gas" and exhale "turbid gas". Because the nose is connected with the outside world, it is very sensitive to changes in the external environment. If the weather gets cold and you don't keep warm enough, there will be symptoms of stuffy nose and runny nose. When the weather is hot and dry, there will be symptoms of dry nose or runny nose. Therefore, the protection of nose is also very important.
Because the nose is sensitive to weather changes, it is necessary to increase or decrease clothes at any time according to climate changes and pay attention to keeping warm. Indoor temperature should be suitable, 20℃ ~ 25℃ is more suitable, to avoid too high or too low temperature. Attention should also be paid to indoor humidity, and maintaining proper humidity is conducive to preventing nasal dryness. Moderate exercise at ordinary times, physical exercise to enhance physical fitness, but also help to improve the disease resistance of the nose. People who are allergic to cold air should wash their noses with cold water every morning and evening, which can enhance their ability to resist cold stimulation. Wearing a hat or scarf on your head is also good for protecting your nose when it gets cold. Don't blow your nose too hard at ordinary times, so as not to damage the nasal mucosa and cause bleeding. Picking your nose with your fingers is a bad habit, which is easy to cause nasal infection or bleeding and should be avoided as much as possible. Never squeeze the boils on the nose with your hands, because the nose is the "dangerous triangle" of the face. After extrusion, bacteria can spread to the brain with veins, causing brain abscess and even life-threatening.
After studying in the Soviet Union for four or five years in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, overseas students returned to China and became the backbone of the construction of new China. But many of them died young. One died of heart disease at the age of 49, one died of heart failure caused by emphysema compressing the heart at the age of 56, and one died of sudden myocardial infarction. He was only 55 years old when he died and had not retired.
Whenever these foreign students recall their life in the Soviet Union, they always say that the Soviet Union is surprisingly cold and I don't know where it is colder than Beijing. Wrap yourself up when you go out. The only thing that can't be wrapped is your nose. Your nose almost fell off in the cold wind. Sometimes you can't even breathe. When you breathe, cold air sticks into your lungs like two popsicles. Cool! Does life during studying abroad affect their health in the future?
According to the survey and statistics, it is found that the life span of these students studying in the Soviet Union is not very long. Many people died in their 40 s and 50 s, and their life span is only over 70 years old. Most of them died of heart disease or lung disease. Many people who are still alive suffer from heart disease or lung disease. Compared with their peers, they are much more likely to suffer from heart disease and lung disease. In that cold environment, they inhaled cold air and hurt their hearts and lungs. However, why does the cold climate have little influence on the people of the Soviet Union? Look at the tall noses of northern Europeans and you will understand the answer. Therefore, keeping your nose warm is also the maintenance of your heart and lungs.
Maintenance of nose
Wash your nose with cold water all year round, especially when washing your face in the morning. Washing your nose with cold water several times can improve the nasal mucosa and blood circulation, enhance your nose's adaptability to the weather, and prevent colds and other respiratory diseases. External nasal massage: hold the two sides of the nasal root with the thumb and forefinger of the left or right hand and pull hard, and pull up and down 12 times. Pulling the nose in this way can promote the circulation of the nasal membrane and is conducive to the secretion of normal nasal mucosal fluid. This method can also promote the cilia swing of mucosal epithelial cells and secrete dust mixed in the nasal cavity. Bacteria are expelled from the throat.
Intra-nasal massage: Put the thumb and forefinger in the left and right nasal cavities respectively, and gently pull down the cartilage in the nasal cavity several times. This method can not only increase the disease resistance of nasal mucosa, prevent colds and rhinitis, but also moisturize the nasal cavity and keep the humidity of nasal mucosa normal. Stretching the cartilage of nasal septum is also beneficial to the prevention and treatment of atrophic rhinitis.
