How does Qi work in the human body?

Qi is constantly running in the human body, with a certain direction and laws of operation, for example, lung qi and stomach qi are the following behaviors in the forward direction, such as upward movement becomes the reverse direction; And temper is to act in the upward direction, such as downward behavior is the opposite. The so-called "shun" means that the direction and law of qi are normal, and the physiological functions and activities of the human body are also normal; The so-called "inverse" means that the direction and law of qi are abnormal, and pathological phenomena will occur. For example:

Upward reversal of lung qi can cause coughing.

Wheezing and stomach reversal will cause nausea, vomiting, and a sinking of the spleen.

It will cause prolapse and tenesmus.

and other symptoms. If qi does not run smoothly, it will cause "qi stagnation". The area of qi stagnation will be swollen or painful, and the nature of the pain is mostly wandering and uncertain.

What is Qi?

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the body's qi includes liver qi, lung qi, kidney qi, spleen qi, health qi, camp qi, and zong qi.

You must be dizzy when you hear it, even people who study Chinese medicine are confused. In fact, Qi is very simple, you only need to remember one sentence, Qi is the power of the human body.

If a car has no power, it can't drive; If a ship has no power, it cannot sail; If an airplane is not powered, it cannot fly in the sky; If the human body has no motivation, life will end.

What is the life of man? Man lives with a breath. Qi is the foundation of life.

The ancients said: "If the qi gathers, it will be born, and if the qi is dispersed, it will die." It means that qi is the essence of life.

Today, when ordinary people describe the death of so-and-so, they often say, "So-and-so died yesterday." ”

Qi severance actually means that the body's qi is dissipated, and when the qi is dispersed, the body has no motivation, and life is over.

Circulatory system.

The circulatory system plays a major role in transporting oxygen throughout the body. Delivers oxygen to various tissues and organs throughout the body to meet the body's energy needs. This process can improve the body's metabolic level, accelerate blood circulation, enhance immunity, improve endurance and physical strength, etc.

The oxygen inhaled in the human body is the red blood cells in the blood to transport the qi to the whole body, the red blood cells have the function of transporting residual oxygen, the red blood cells are rich in hemoglobin, hemoglobin is an iron-containing vertical mountain bucket protein, it is easy to combine with oxygen in places with high oxygen content.

In the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the main physiological functions of qi are as follows: there are six aspects.

1.Propulsive effect: The physiological function, growth and development of the meridians of the human organs, the circulation of blood, and the infusion of fluid all rely on the stimulation and promotion of qi to maintain normality.

2.Warming effect: The human body temperature is constant, mainly relying on the warmth and regulation of qi.

3.Defensive function: Qi energy protects the skin surface and defends against the invasion of external evils.

4.Solid effect: fixed shooting, is the meaning of control, overall control.

5.Gasification: "Gasification" is one of the functions of qi, that is, the metaplasia and mutual transformation of various substances in the body. This is manifested in two aspects. One refers to the mutual metaplasia between essence, qi, blood, and fluid. The second refers to a certain functional activity of the viscera.

6.Nutritional effect: As a substance, "qi" has a nutritional effect on the human body. It can not only "fatten the body", "glory and four ends", but also "inject five internal organs and six internal organs" to nourish the inside and outside of the human body.

The function of qi is to promote and warm up, and the generation of qi comes from three aspects:

1 The innate essence is located in the parents, and the viscera is located in the kidneys, indicating that the health is not related to the genetics of the parents.

Black food enters the kidneys and can replenish the acquired essence.

2 The acquired water valley qi is the qi formed after the digestion and absorption of food, and the viscera is located in the spleen and stomach.

3 The pure qi of nature enters from the breath, and the internal organs are located in the lungs.

The movement of qi is called "qi machine" in traditional Chinese medicine, and there are four forms of movement: ascending, descending, exiting, and entering.

Qi will promote blood circulation, and Qi has the functions of promoting, warming, fixing, and vaporizing.

Qi has a defensive effect and can resist the invasion of external evils. (There is a guard around the body, which can ward off external evils.) Qi can fix the human body and is everywhere.
