Diagnosis of deficiency and excess of cold and heat in children's diseases by fingerprint in traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine has a special way to look at fingerprints when diagnosing children's diseases. Fingerprint actually refers to a blue vein on the palm of a child's index finger near his thumb. The following is the diagnosis of deficiency and excess of cold and heat in children's diseases by TCM fingerprint.
Traditional Chinese Medicine Fingerprint Diagnosis of Deficiency of Cold and Heat in Children 1 "Fingerprint" refers to a blue vein near the thumb on the palm of the index finger of children. Reading "fingerprint" is one of the means of TCM diagnosis of cold and heat deficiency in children's diseases, which is generally used for children under 3 years old. Normal children's "fingerprints" should be red and yellow, faintly visible in the skin. After getting sick, the color, position and fluctuation of the "fingerprint" will change accordingly with the illness.
If the "fingerprint" is clear, the child's condition will be lighter; If the "fingerprint" has sunk into the skin, it means that the condition is serious. For example, if the child has just caught a cold, the "fingerprint" is clearly visible. If it has developed into bronchitis and pneumonia, the "fingerprint" may not be clear.
If the child is afraid of cold and cold, the "fingerprint" is bright red and shallow; If the "fingerprint" is reddish and sunken, it is spleen and stomach deficiency. The "fingerprint" is purple, and the disease is fever. If the purple is dark and sinks into the skin, it means that the evil heat is stuck in the body. The "fingerprint" is purple-black, the heat is deep, the blood collaterals are blocked, and the condition is critical.
Push the "fingerprint" to see the truth. The color of the "fingerprint" is light, and it disappears when you push it with your hand. Children who appear after a period of time are mostly lung deficiency and spleen deficiency, and children will have loss of appetite, loose stool or constipation. Push the "fingerprint", there is no obvious change, mostly empirical, or sick in the body.
The length of the "fingerprint" reflects the severity of the disease, while the "fingerprint" is short, generally only available in Guan Feng (that is, the first index finger). If you get to the gas pass (that is, the second index finger), it means that your condition is more serious. If you also see "fingerprints" in the key parts, or even extend to the fingertips through the key parts (that is, the third section of the index finger), Chinese medicine calls it "nail piercing", indicating that the condition has reached a very dangerous stage.
Traditional Chinese medicine looks at fingerprints to diagnose cold and heat deficiency and exterior yin and yang in children's diseases, and there are only eight words. The condition is nothing more than this, so the method of syndrome differentiation is nothing more than this.
The cold and heat of a disease all lie in thirst and non-thirst, thirst and non-thirst, eating hot and cold, dysphoria and syncope, long red and white drowning, and delayed pulse. If you are thirsty, you can eliminate water, like a cool diet, fidgety, and have short and red urine, you will have a knot, a rapid pulse and it is also hot. If the mouth is not thirsty, or it is fake thirst, it is impossible to exclude water. Like to drink hot soup, my hands and feet will be cold, my drowning time will be long, my pulse will be late, and it will be cold.
The excess or deficiency of the disease lies in sweating or not sweating, whether the chest and abdomen are full, whether the swelling is reduced, whether the pain is refused or welcomed, the new duration of the disease, the thickness of the pulse condition and the excess or deficiency of the pulse condition. If the disease is anhidrosis, abdominal distension does not decrease, and the pain refuses to be pressed, the disease will be new, people will be naturally thick, and the pulse will be strong, as well. If you are sweating when you are sick, your abdominal distension will be relieved, and the pain will be the same as before. Pressing will stop the pain. If you are ill for a long time, your pulse will be weak, and this deficiency will also occur.
The exterior and interior symptoms of the disease are hot flashes, aversion to cold and heat, headache and abdominal pain, stuffy nose and dry mouth, tongue coating and fluctuating pulse. This is also the case if there are symptoms such as fever, aversion to cold, headache, stuffy nose, no tongue coating and floating pulse. It is also true that hot flashes and aversion to heat, abdominal pain, dry mouth, yellow and black tongue coating and heavy pulse.
As for the yin and yang of the disease, as far as six characters are concerned, it covers a wide range. Heat is yang, which is actually yang, and the exterior is yang; Cold is yin, deficiency is yin and interior is yin. Cold pathogen is in the exterior, and yin is in the yang; Heat evil enters the interior, and yin is yang. Cold evil enters, and yin has yin; Heat evil reaches the exterior, and yang in yang is yang. The difference between true yin and true yang is different. If the pulse condition is weak, the deficiency fire is red and swollen, the mouth is dry and the lips are scorched, the internal heat is knotted, and the qi is reversed, which is also true yin deficiency; If the pulse is weak, the limbs are weak, the lips are pale and the mouth is warm, the muscles are cold and loose stool, and the diet is not suitable, then the true yang is also insufficient.
Cold, heat, deficiency, excess, exterior, interior and yin and yang are always different. But people who have heat syndrome in their illness and like hot drinks are also in the same spirit. Those who like cold drinks and have chills but can't drink them are also like false thirst. Those who have heat syndrome and loose stool will benefit from the heat. Those with cold syndrome and hard stool are called yin knot. For those with heat syndrome and cold hands and feet, the so-called deep heat syncope is also deep, and the slight heat syncope is also light. Those who have cold syndrome, feel irritable and want to sit in muddy water are called mania. People who have sweat and evidence will also have heat and poison. People with deficiency syndrome due to sweating are also deficient in body fluids. Those who take aversion to cold as internal evidence tend to get cold. For people who hate heat and thirst, the disease of warmth is manifested from the inside out. This is the principle of yin-yang change, and it is especially necessary to distinguish it as early as possible in order to balance the treatment.
