How does Chinese medicine explain the "good and evil" of the human heart?

The relationship between heart and small intestine is exterior-interior relationship, and wicked heart is in intestine, that is, heart disease affects the function of intestine.

One day, a patient suffered from intestinal pain, and the doctor diagnosed it as gastrointestinal perforation, so he had to have an operation immediately. The hospital immediately took action, prepared the operating table, disinfected it, the doctor in charge of the operation came, the nurse came, the preparations were ready, and only a few necessary preoperative examinations such as heart, liver and kidney function were left, and the patient came to the stage. But as soon as the ECG came out, everyone was shocked. It turns out that the patient's heart problem is very serious. The attending doctor invited a cardiologist for consultation and concluded that the patient had a heart attack and myocardial infarction instead of a gastrointestinal perforation. However, his heart attack is manifested as abdominal pain, which is what Chinese medicine calls "the heart is contrary to the small intestine."

Perhaps, many people will have questions: "Where is the heart? Where is the small intestine? What is the function of the heart? What is the function of the small intestine? How can the heart be associated with the small intestine? "

Yes, from the perspective of western medicine, it seems that the heart has nothing to do with the small intestine. Western medicine! After all, there is more analysis and less contact. Chinese medicine is different. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that many things in the human body are interrelated and influence each other. Take the heart and small intestine for example! People often describe the seriousness of the problem as a kind of "worry", but they don't understand why the ancients linked the heart with the abdomen. The "heart" is dirty, corresponding to the heart meridian of the hand with less yin, belonging to the genus; "Abdomen" refers to the small intestine, which is the fu organ, corresponding to the small intestine meridian of the hand sun, belonging to the exterior. "Heart Meridian" refers to the small intestine meridian and the heart meridian, which are both external and internal, and are a whole. Whoever has a problem is very serious and should not be underestimated. Therefore, what the confidant said is that the heart and the small intestine are inseparable.

Clinical practice has proved that the problems of heart meridian are often reflected in small intestine meridian. For example, heart attacks often show back pain and arm pain, and some people even have toothache, and most of these painful parts are the lines of small intestine meridians. Western studies have proved that the gastrointestinal nervous system is directly connected with the brain, and many neurotransmitters in the brain can be found in the small intestine, and there are hundreds of millions of nerve cells in the intestine, so it is concluded that the small intestine is the second brain of human beings. You see, research by western scientists shows that the heart and small intestine are both inside and outside.

I am a health care doctor. In my decades of medical work, I have saved many patients with sudden heart attacks. This made me find a very common phenomenon, that is, patients with sudden heart attacks often ask for defecation when they are rescued, but they can't get it out. Western medicine thinks this is autonomic nervous disorder, but the question is why they defecate in disorder. Doesn't this just mean that the heart and small intestine are both internal and external? If there is a problem with the heart, it will affect the small intestine first. The tight contraction of the small intestine will suddenly increase the pressure in the intestinal cavity and then transfer it to the large intestine, thus giving people the illusion of defecation.

I remember I once saved such a heart patient. I happened to be on duty in Zhongnanhai that day, and suddenly I got a phone call saying that someone was ill and asked me to arrive at once. I arrived at the patient's side in a few minutes. The patient lay prone on the table and vomited a lot. I quickly wiped off what I vomited, because vomit can easily block my throat and cause suffocation. Then I put him flat in place, so that the blood in my feet can flow back and relieve cerebral ischemia. Everyone should remember that patients with myocardial infarction should not move at will. Neijing says that "Qi returns to life", and it can return to life. If you move at will, it will disturb the qi in your body. Once it breaks down, people will die.

After initial rescue, the patient soon woke up and asked to urinate, but I persuaded him. Because I know that at this time, the patient did not urinate, it was just an illusion. About fifteen minutes later, doctors from Beijing Fuwai Hospital and Beijing 30 1 Hospital arrived one after another. Together, we saved the patient from danger. Therefore, it is very important to understand that the heart and the small intestine are opposites. If you don't know that the heart and the small intestine are opposite, then it is only an illusion that the patient wants to urinate, and letting the patient's body move at will have terrible consequences.

The study of meridians in TCM is extensive and profound, and understanding the relationship between meridians is helpful for us to understand the changes and metastasis of diseases. I often see in clinic that the heart fire will move down to the small intestine, and too much internal fire will cause short urine and burning urethra; The fire in the small intestine will also cause the heart fire to rise, causing swelling and pain on the tip of the tongue and sores on the tongue coating. Therefore, we can clear the heart fire by purging small intestine fire.

Chinese medicine believes that the tongue is the mirror of the heart and the tongue is the seedling of the heart. Although the heart is in the body, it is connected with the tongue through the heart meridian. From the tongue picture, we can see whether the heart function is normal. When there is fire in the heart meridian, the tip of the tongue will turn red. In addition, the heart is in the face, happy in the heart, and connects the meridians and small intestine meridians, so heart disease can be seen on the body surface.
