Chapter 1002 The theory of the spleen in traditional Chinese medicine(2/2)
Actually, this is very wrong.
Some people who don’t understand traditional Chinese medicine very much criticize traditional Chinese medicine, saying that the spleen of traditional Chinese medicine is actually the pancreas.
Why do I say that? Because in traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen has the function of transporting and transforming, which is also a function of helping digestion. In fact, in the cognition of Western medicine, the spleen has no function of helping digestion at all.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the digestion and absorption of food is mainly accomplished by the spleen, and in Western medicine textbooks, the spleen is an important immune organ and has no digestive function at all.
This makes many people confused and even criticize traditional Chinese medicine, believing that traditional Chinese medicine does not have enough understanding of the spleen.
However, in fact, in traditional Chinese medicine, there is a theory about internal organ function, called the Zangxiang theory.
The word "Zangxiang" is first seen in "Su Wen·Six Sections of Zangxiang Theory".
So what is hidden statue? In ancient times, people valued the body very much, and even after death, they would not be desecrated. Therefore, ancient people had limited understanding of human organs.
Unlike the current science of decomposition, what is the liver and the heart? If you open it and take a look, the surgeons know it very well. If you don’t know the organs during surgery, you will have no way to talk about it.
But there was no such condition in ancient times, and it was impossible to see or touch, but there was a saying of the heart, liver, spleen and lungs. Where did this come from?
It is the theory of Tibetan statues.
Hidden refers to the internal organs hidden in the body, and the image refers to the physiological and pathological phenomena that appear outside. Hidden refers to various internal organ entities and their physiological activities and pathological changes that appear outside.
In other words, how your heart will behave externally, what will your liver disease show externally, and how will your internal organs show externally. Through external manifestations, we can judge whether the internal organs are healthy.
Ancient Chinese medicine doctors believed that doctors believed that the function of the stomach was mainly acceptance, which is what traditional Chinese medicine calls the stomach responsible for acceptance.
The stomach is responsible for receiving and receiving, so ancient doctors believed that there must be an organ that helps the stomach. This organ is next to the stomach, so it is inferred that the spleen, which is a little behind the stomach, has this effect. The spleen is red, so doctors believe that the spleen has the function of converting food nutrition into qi and blood.
Western medicine looks at a single organ, while traditional Chinese medicine looks at a whole system. In fact, as a system, the spleen does have a helpful function to the stomach. The five internal organs of the human body exist independently but are interdependent, and are not individuals.
The left side of the spleen is next to the word "mon" on the left side, but actually next to the word "meat" and the right side is a word "hu". This word does not pronounce bei and contains bi, which means help. Adding the word "female" next to the word "female" is the maid of the slave, helping the master's maid, and adding the word "cloth" also means help. Therefore, in the concept of ancient Chinese medicine, the spleen is an organ that helps the stomach and an organ that helps digestion.
The stomach is responsible for receiving and receiving, and the spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation.
Therefore, in traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen and stomach control the earth, which is often combined together. The five internal organs, heart, liver, lung, stomach, and kidneys, do not say that the spleen is the helping organ of the stomach, and the spleen and stomach are all.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the human body has five internal organs, just like the nature has five elements. If the five internal organs operate abnormally, various diseases will arise.
Speaking of this, we will return to the previous pathology.
The patient has epilepsy syndrome, and the disease is in the spleen. The spleen belongs to earth and the liver belongs to wood. Wood can overcome earth and the liver controls anger.
Therefore, the method used by Fang Han is to use anger to arouse the patient's liver qi, thereby borrowing the attribute of wood that can overcome earth, borrowing liver qi, and suppressing the patient's temper, thereby achieving the effect of treating patients' epilepsy syndrome.
Qian Xiaolin was almost stunned when she heard it, as if she was listening to a heavenly book. Anyway, he didn't understand it very much.
Du Yuntao next to him was full of colors: "Traditional Chinese medicine does not stick to form in treating diseases, and the effect of drugs is also to coordinate the human body system. As long as it can coordinate the human body system, help the system balance, and not stick to the therapy, this method is wonderful."
Qian Xiaolin glanced at Du Yuntao. Although I didn’t understand it very much, I also knew it was wonderful. The way to cure the disease without taking medicine is very wonderful...
