Hello everyone, I am your friend Mr. Gu!
"Director Gu, my child has been suffering from depression for 2 years, the mood is okay during the New Year, I don't know what's going on during the recent period, the mood is very low, the heart is very irritable, I like to lock myself in the house, away from the sun, she said that she feels tired of doing anything, she can't concentrate, and her hands and feet are always cold. My husband and I also asked her if she was unhappy, but she said no, it was just unspeakably uncomfortable physically and mentally. I would like to ask you what's going on? ”
There are also many patients in the outpatient clinic who have reported this problem to me, in fact, it is a lack of yang energy, why do you say that?
Yang Qi is sufficient, and all diseases are eliminated
Traditional Chinese medicine says: The reason why the disease recovers is because the evil retreats and the yang qi is peaceful; The reason why the body is healthy is because the yang energy is strong and the evil energy is not good. From this sentence, we can see that Yang Qi determines our body.
The reason why the above child has no external factors is simply that he feels uncomfortable, and in the final analysis, it is a physical problem.
When Yang Qi is lost, people will lose their spirits, become depressed, drowsy, and even suffer from symptoms of depression, anxiety and insomnia.
My outpatient case
For example, this child, Xiaoyu, 16 years old, has always studied very well before, is the top student in the class, and his personality is also a more lively and outgoing kind, and he is very friendly to his classmates. But just 1 year ago, a boy came over in the class, this boy has a strong personality and often bullies his classmates, and everyone is afraid of him.
Xiaoyu also became the target of bullying, but he didn't dare to tell his family, and there was no outlet for catharsis, so he could only digest it by himself, and after a long time, his mood gradually began to be depressed, he was unwilling to talk to anyone, he locked himself in his room when he went home, he couldn't sleep at night, he was tired and weak during the day, he couldn't concentrate in class, he always forgot what he was doing, and he was sad and sad all day long.
Parents brought it for examination, the result was moderate depression, during this period has been taking Western medicine, at first it was still useful, but after eating for a long time, there was not much improvement, the child's mother saw on the Internet that many people suffering from depression have to take Western medicine all year round, and they have been eating for more than ten or twenty years. She didn't want her child to become a medicine jar at a young age, so she wanted to take the child to try Chinese medicine treatment.
After the meeting, I briefly communicated with the child for a while, and learned that he is now prone to dizziness, special sensitivity to cold, hands and feet are always cold, flank swelling and pain, chest tightness, palpitations, and sweating. I saw that his tongue was red, his moss was thin and yellow, and his veins were thin.
Dialectic: Lack of yang energy
Prescription: Bupleurum keel oyster soup plus or minus (Bupleurum chinensis, keel, skullcap, ginger, lead dan, ginseng, cinnamon branch, Poria cocos, Banxia, rhubarb, oysters, jujube)
After taking it for half a month, the child reported to me that his fear of cold and insomnia had been reduced, but sometimes he could not concentrate and his mood would be a little low.
After 3 months of reappointment, the child said that his mood was much better, and he felt no more tired, and he felt that his mood was suddenly brighter, and the child's mother also handled the transfer for him, planning to change the environment and start again.
Follow-up was followed up for 6 months, and there was no recurrence.
My train of thought
This child. The spleen is the main limb, and long-term negative emotions will lead to stagnation of liver qi, so that the yang qi cannot be generated, and the yang qi will naturally not be able to pass through the limbs, so he will feel cold hands and feet, and he will be afraid of cold.
In traditional Chinese medicine, special emphasis is placed on the balance of yin and yang, the yang energy is mainly ascending, and if the yang energy is sufficient, the spirit is full, and if the yang energy is insufficient, it will be like this child
Therefore, to achieve the balance of yin and yang, enhance the role of yang energy.
In ancient times, Chai Hu keel oyster soup was a common prescription for the treatment of depression, which can regulate liver qi, soothe the liver and relieve depression, and also has the effect of raising the sun.
It is like a little sun, which can drive away the cold in the body and improve the child's cold hands and feet.
It has a calming and calming effect, helps to stabilize his mood and relieve insomnia symptoms.
The four-step method of traditional Chinese medicine to nourish yang
(1) Sleep
A good night's sleep is the cornerstone of physical and mental recovery. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that going to bed early can nourish the liver, especially falling asleep between 9 and 10 p.m., which can help the body restore yang energy.
(2) Basking in the sun
"The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" says that "those who are yang, if the sky and the sun", analogy people's yang energy with the sun in nature, and can directly supplement yang energy by basking in the sun.
(3) 艾灸
Moxibustion can promote yang and replenish qi, dispel blood stasis and dispel cold, invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, strengthen yang and strengthen the foundation, and soothe the liver and regulate qi, which is a wonderful method left to us by our ancestors. You can let the doctor match the acupuncture points according to your physical condition.
(4) Soak your feet
。 By soaking your feet, you can promote blood circulation throughout the body and allow yang energy to flow better in the body.
When soaking the feet, add some Chinese medicine packets to exert its curative effect.
