Talk about skin~Xu Wenbing

Children can bring a lot of inspiration to adults. Older parents, especially, have a deeper feeling when raising children. On the one hand, the vivid life is growing vigorously, and on the other hand, the bodies of two tired middle-aged people are declining.

The child is lively and active, running around the house. He only eats a few mouthfuls of food every day. Where does the energy come from? We ate a lot three times a day, but we were still tired. As soon as we got home, Ge You lay down and didn't want to move. Where does all the food we eat go?

Have you noticed? Children's skin is white and rosy, and their bodies naturally exude a refreshing fragrance that we adults don't have. Also, children's saliva is colorless and odorless, but adults are not. If you don't believe it, just lick the back of your hand and smell it every 30 seconds. It has a smell.

If a person has good skin, the skin will appear fine, tight and wrinkle-free. Although the skin cannot be seen directly, it can be shown through the skin. People of yellow race should be white and rosy, with full Qi and blood. The state of the skin depends on the state of triple burner and vital energy. If we just wipe it on the skin, it will be difficult to fundamentally solve the problem.

" According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the lungs govern the skin. The lungs and the large intestine are related to the outside and the inside. Problems with the skin should be solved from lung qi and wei qi, and generally do not involve nutrient and blood. Skin problems are directly subordinate to the triple burner , pericardium. The skin is closely related to the body fluids running in the triple burner.

The following picture should clearly illustrate the relationship between skin and skin.

Translate "skin". In English, it is simply SKIN. But if you think about it carefully, are "skin" and "skin" synonyms or synonyms? If so, what is the difference in clinical practice? What is the guiding significance?

The answer is yes, "skin" and "skin" are just synonyms, there is a difference. "Lingshu·Kouwen": "Huang Di said: People who are cold are: What's the reason? Qi Bo said: Cold Qi comes from the skin, Yin Qi is strong and Yang Qi is deficient, so it is used to invigorate the cold and shivering and replenish all the Yang. Huang Di asked: "What is the reason for people trembling constantly and having chills?" Qi Bo said, "It's because the external cold air invades and stays between the skin, and people's Yang Qi is insufficient, so they will have chills and goosebumps." Treatment should replenish all Yang meridians. ”

It refers to the space between the skin, not the surface of the skin. The reason is that when the cold air attacks the skin, people will only feel aversion to cold and are particularly sensitive to wind and cold. Adding clothes, quilts, closing doors and windows is not enough to resist it. , and when it penetrates further into the skin, chills and trembling will occur.

"Lingshu Water Swelling" records: Huangdi said: "How to treat skin swelling? Qi Bo said: "For those with swollen skin, the cold air travels between the skin, (drum/empty) (drum/empty) but not firm. The abdomen is enlarged, the body is completely swollen, and the skin is thick. If you press the abdomen, it will not rise up. The color does not change, this is the condition. Huang Di asked: "What are the symptoms of skin swelling?" Qibo said: "The skin is swollen because the cold air stays between the skin, just like an inflated ball. The body is swollen and the skin looks very thick. When you press your belly, there is a dent. You can't get up for a long time. The color of the belly is not abnormal." This is its symptom. "Here it is clearly stated that there is a "between" between skins, which shows that skins are different.

Skin is the epidermis, the human tissue that covers the surface of the body and is in direct contact with the outside world. It is also the place where hair grows. In this place, the famous idiom "If the skin does not exist, the hair will be attached", which refers to the relationship between fur.

The traditional Chinese character for "skin" is "skin", which is a pictographic and ideographic character. It is the tissue covering the skin. It is the tissue between the skin and the skin. For example, people often say "skin". "Skin", "skin-piercing pain" and "incomplete body", here "skin" means epidermis, and "skin-to-skin" means a deeper relationship than epidermal contact because "skin" and "skin" are not often used together. , just say "skin" means "skin"

There is a saying in "The Book of Songs" to describe a beautiful woman: "The hands are like catkins, and the skin is like cream." "Catine, the first-born leaf buds of a plant, describes a woman's hands that are white, tender and slender. Ningzhi, like solidified white fat, describes a woman's subcutaneous fat, which is so full and moist that it can be broken by blowing."

Bai Juyi, a later generation, also had a similar poem: "The spring cold bathes the Huaqing Palace, and the hot spring water washes away the gelatin." The reason why it is said that "skin is like gelatin" instead of "skin is like gelatin" is that the depth of the two is different. If there is no skin under the skin, it means that beauty has become old and has turned into chicken skin, gray hair, and wrinkles.

"The Book of Changes" says: "The buttocks have no skin. If "skin" and "skin" are understood as synonyms, this sentence is difficult to explain. How can there be no skin on the buttocks? Modern people use "Big breasts and wide buttocks" summarizes the sexy body, which describes a body with healthy skin, fat, and flesh.

Mencius has a famous saying: "When heaven is about to give a great task to a person, he must first do it." It afflicts his mind and will, strains his muscles and bones, starves his body and skin, depletes his body and conduct, and messes up his actions. "The only things that can be thinned by starvation are the fat and muscles under the skin. The skin will not be eaten away by starvation. At most, it will be skin and bones.

"Suwen·Wuzang Shengpian": "Lying out and the wind blows Specifically, blood coagulation on the skin is called paralysis, blood coagulation on the pulse is weeping, and blood coagulation on the feet is called paralysis. In these three cases, blood flows but cannot be reversed, so it is called paralysis and coagulation. ” This means that when you are sleeping and experience external wind and cold, your blood circulation will be poor and it will stagnate under the skin, that is, in the skin area, and symptoms of paralysis will appear. If it stagnates in the blood vessels, it will become blood stasis, and if it stagnates in the lower limbs, it will The feet will feel cold. These three conditions are caused by poor blood circulation and local ischemia, which lead to numbness and decreased body temperature. The skin here is also under the skin, causing blood stasis, black spots, and even local paralysis.

"Lingshu Jingshui": "Huang Di said: Can the size of the meridians, the amount of blood, the thickness of the skin, the firmness of the flesh, and the size of the Guo be measured?" "The skin is a thin layer, not thick. The skin is different. It has sufficient nutrition and normal triple burner function. If there is a lot of fat accumulation, the skin will be thick. On the contrary, it will be thin, and there may even be no skin at all.

There was a patient who went on a true hunger strike, skipping meals and only drinking water. Later, he collapsed and fell into a coma. He suffered from indigestion, bradycardia, abdominal cold and abdominal pain all year round, even in summer. He is also wrapped in a 505 vitality bag, otherwise he will have diarrhea. His skin is very loose, and there is no fat under the skin, which can be lifted up with a pinch.

"Lingshu·Shun" "Reverse Fat and Thin" says: "With age, the body is strong, the blood is full, and the skin is strong. Because of the evil, those who prick it will be deep and stay." "This means that for adults, if the skin is rough and fleshy, the qi and blood are abundant, the skin is firm and fat, and at the same time they feel invaders from external evils, they can need deep puncture and leave the needle for a longer time. Otherwise, they can only make shallow punctures, or only use skin needles. .

There is a recipe called pig skin soup in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases". If you just look for a piece of pig skin based on the literal interpretation, it should actually be pig skin with fat. The effect of nourishing yin is very good. People who don't understand the meaning of fat coagulation can make some lard and wait for it to solidify to experience the white, delicate and lustrous appearance.

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. The lungs govern the skin. The lungs and the large intestine are external and internal. Problems with the epidermis should be solved from the lung qi and the wei qi, and generally do not involve nutrient and blood problems. The skin problems are directly related to the triple burner and pericardium, and the skin is related to the body fluids running in the triple burner. There is a close relationship.

Some people have no skin, but some people have lipomas all over their body. Although they are painless, they are very sore and hard. Methods to treat this skin disease include saponin, tangerine, loofah, and pumpkin seeds. The effect is very good.

Other common seborrheic alopecia and acne are also skin problems, including oil metabolism. The problem is caused by pericardial fire and phlegm-dampness in the triple burner, which is not related to the lungs. The girl's skin is tender, smooth and smooth, and her face is wrinkled. It is also a skin problem involving the triple burner and vitality. Once you realize this, the beauty treatment of traditional Chinese medicine will have a theoretical basis and the treatment will be more effective.

Modern people do not differentiate between skin care and skin care. They are all talking about skin problems, and skin problems can only be solved internally.
